B. Fusen summoned United States Marshal lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy Whitey Larsen well boys I've got a job for you too and it's important in connection with that prison break your mr. Fusen right Gary's we heard they'd lost something up there and we can't figure you might be calling us into help find it God blasted lightning we haven't had a sign of this fellow let's save us so far not even a good lead to go on you must get this man for us and get him quick he's a murderer hold on Mr. Fusen that jailbreak was a week ago that fails cold originally give us a pack in the case so as we can get started you're right there's no time to waste now here are the records right in front of me good you can take them with you and then if there are any points you want to check you'll have these to go over I tell you the more outstanding features so we can save time that sounds reasonable shoot well it seems that this fellow less Davis had a good sized ranch just west of Red Gulch and Cheyenne County it was a hop pepper Jasper from all accounts and he and his neighbor Cy Walliser had a boundary feud for two days or more. Come on. Yes. Let's get a little full before. Yeah. Count me out boys. You know I always get home in time to eat with my kid besides I want to look over that their north boundary in mind for dark and even that low down Burman Cy Wallace has broke down my friend he's going to you to sure have a heap of trouble with that their boundary less you mean I've had a heap of trouble and I ain't aiming to have no more neither given that's even coyote bus down my fence again I'm going to fill his yellow heights are full of lead he won't trouble me no more. Come on. Let's play full. Let's go to sundown if you let him get started. Oh it's funny. Well I want to ring going to find nothing to laugh at if they bust down my fence again. Well sir then they're ready to hear this down again unless Davis don't cool off none. There's going to be fireworks out at the old bar here for long. Forget it. You know that's why he's been yapping about that boundary isn't right for two years. So the stage was set if you can. Yes for a cold blooded killing lightning. Well two days later Jed Hansen who owned the property adjoining Cy Wallace are on the other side was riding across sized land on his way to town and he found the old man dead as a doornail shot twice in the back lying near the border of his and less Davis's Rangers and the fence it was busted I suppose busted I should say it was why even the post had been chopped on for a hundred yards or more. Well this man Jed Hansen went straight to Matt Beesling's house he's the sheriff in these parts and Matt and a group of the townsman rode over to less his place as soon as they'd taken a look at the body and seen the broken fence. That's what this home with his little girl there's a girl. I mean I'll try another bite. Oh. Eating in bed kind of hard work in it. Yeah. Piece of string meal will fix them bad girls so they won't get my baby soup. I'll tell him up on top this way. How's that. Now now we can finish the soup. What baby. I don't want anymore. Can't you just another big spoon full you will never get well and strong if and you don't try to eat honey girl. Sounds like we've got visitors any wonder who they are. Sounds like Matt Beesling and some of the boys and I guess I'll have to go out and see what they want baby. Now you lie back and rest like a good girl. I'll be right back. Howdy boys. What's up that's plenty of David I sure is we want you. And the sheriff around here and I'll do the clock and what in turn nations wrong with you just right there's this wrong list. I want to find out your boundary with a couple of bullets in his back. I want to share shot. Who done it man. That's what we come out here to ask you that cut the show and that he done it you know as well as he always said he was going to let daylight into the old upper boy sure I know he's done it come on David I didn't shoot shy well as a man I swear it didn't really land out there fully when was he shot Matt and they don't nobody know it hasn't found him on his way into town about an hour ago from the looks of things he was killed sometime during the night off with the stall unless he done it Matt and all you should not stand around here all morning John I wasn't out of the house last night man when he was down and I was with her all right honey I'll be right there my kid said I gotta go see what you want I'll I'll be right back I know you know you might try to run for it well come on in then but don't say nothing before the kid. Why why they just come over to talk about some cattle honey we we were talking over out there wasn't we man come on Davis we could have fought for no soft stuff you'd better come on into town let's and talk this over there that is if you don't want the kid to hear what you're talking about Papa well there's been a little trouble over at size place baby and the boys here want me to go into town and kind of help them get straightened out now now you just stay right here in bed and I'll stop by and get Aunt Myra to come over and stay with him till I can get back I'll be home before you know it honey girl and I'll bring you something nice yes about all there was to it lightning less Davis was taken down to the county seat for trial and was convicted got 20 years he'd served less than one of them when he escaped what became of the kids you're ever tapped into that pool if or she was taken care of all right I understand her mother died when she was a baby but Davis got a friend to his Hank Clinger to go out and run the ranch on shares while he was in prison Hank and his wife Myra are looking after honey they got him they got him got who Davis less Davis Davis yeah so I just came through there bringing them in this afternoon well I think I guess that solves our problem yeah it looks like it certainly takes a big load off of my mind anyway and I surely appreciate the way you men got here so quickly I know you need some sleep after writing to hard boy oh boy I certainly like to shake the hand of the jigger the cortis Davis better see when I get to sleep I won't take up for a week a bit ready wake up somebody at the door you're from this on the video me want something pretty bad to yeah I'll go hey like that the attorney channel wants you over this office right away let's trouble you always can you go sleep until tomorrow that's about that convict I got the wrong man he's still loose Davis I mean well I'll be a cross I know if that didn't go got the wrong man here we are again like then they got the wrong man dark blessed and still no trace of the real Davis that means we left a hump at Mr. Fusen we've lost some valuable time already did you give us all the facts in our talk this morning just about all we have lightning you can get the details from the prison break from beyond away then Mr. Fusen come on buddy where did it go we haven't been able to dig up a single clue to which direction Davis took well we'll be heading up toward Red Gulch you reckon Red Gulch why he wouldn't dare go back there every man in town knows him I guess lightning figures and murder or this comes back to the scene something like that buddy goodbye Mr. Fusen you'll be hearing from us for long and this time we'll see that you don't get the wrong man lightning Jim and quite he had been in Red Gulch for almost a week the famous Marshall figure that Davis would eventually try to see a small daughter whom he loved very dearly so they bided their time paying frequent visits to the Davis home and gaining the friendship of Davis's small daughter and then one day at the Davis ranch. And they look at the time with you here honey you finished these breakfast dishes for me. I'm going to run down the stable to see how old that is this morning that horse is getting awful old and to get the rheumatic when it's cold like this. Right down right better out if you better serve that far right away on here to go out for to get back in the home. You're all right honey. Everything's all right. You're out. It was only your hair and I'm glad to be home. Yes it down in the chair while I close the door and didn't come off a scarecrow honey but I reckon they do look like never mind never mind about me now let's have a look at that head of yours. Why it ain't burned at all honey girl just the hair thing seems like it's that they're charging just made a big puff and didn't do any harm looking for you the marshals have been here several times already. Davis you know. My I think our little girls learned or less it doesn't need a school get up a minute with the honey here getting to be such a big girl and I have to cut on his arm. I'll get them dirty rags off you and wash it off. Hey you honey you go tell me some cloth off that old sheet you'll find in the chest in the front room mind you close the door after your herbal cold in there. The point of my convict uniform or for bandages when I managed to steal these clothes from a wash line. Why this ain't no cut it's a bullet wound. They winged me when I was swimming the river outside the prison but I don't want the kid to know nothing about it but he did what I said didn't you never told her about me being set up now we only said he's going to be away for a long long time but why'd you let the child see a less she's a young she's bound to let out such a bin here I didn't mean to let her know I was right I just wanted to kind of peek in the window and see her for a minute and then and then playing shot up around her head at what was awful I thought I'd never get around to the door and time what if I hadn't been here my I guess you was meant to be there left. Oh no no not hardly told any girl is just a scratch almost well yeah honey put these soil rags I took off them over in the corner back the woodpile I'll burn them up soon to get through fixing his arm. No no no honey you do as my research we can't have you pulling around with that stove until you get a little older. That's better here you sit over in this chair near the stove I got some more nice soft rainwater and a barrel on by the shed I'll get some of that and heat it so you can get yourself cleaned up a little I'll get it where's a bucket. You don't let Davis come in I see if you're to go outside. I'll probably go to your home come over here. And I think I'm not sure I'm quick where they're still more than half a mile off but I could tell that big black horse was 10 miles off. Oh yes honey let's you better get up in that attic over the front room and hide till I leave they're coming slow but they'd see you for sure if you try to make a run for it all right my honey honey listen to Papa you mustn't let them marshals or anyone know I'm here it's very important of course they're good men honey but some bad men are after your pause so it's best that no one should know he's here now don't forget him no one was no other purpose here I won't come on they ain't got no more time to talk hurry up grab a grill off one of the beds to pick up there with you no telling our long they'll stay now remember honey you gotta act as on nothing that happened well we're lightning Tim and why he discovered their quarry in the attic of the old ranch house will last Davis a small daughter be able to keep the important secret of her father's presence in the house we shall find out in part two of the adventures of lightning Jim which follows immediately and now for part two of the adventures of lightning Jim less Davis hearing the two marshals approaching the house for another checkup hides in an attic over the front room just as lightning Jim and whitey ride up then is it more safe they'll come right in and warn you so they're clear it's right bitter after they are lighting in this is why hello there honey very well harsh my best girl this morning thank you Mr. Whitey well whitey look at them seems girls say what are you doing young lady sticking your head in the stove she was pouring kerosene Marshall in a well a kind of flared up no harm done now sit down you too and I'll make you a cup of coffee I was just fixing to get it on the door and thank you thank you Mrs. Clinger well by the way Mrs. Clinger I was wondering if you and the air to the Si Wallace's property might still be having trouble oh you mean kind of them surveying fellows you see here on North boundary yeah I noticed them working there the last time I was out this way well they're surveying for the railroad there weren't no airs to size land and one of our neighbors bought it cheap and sold it high to the railroad I hear they're going to start laying the roadbed for long I have to go down the way counter to the doctors like I did before I can get there in less than four hours by riding on speaking of traveling well I know I wouldn't be around here so long so honey I brought you a present to remember me by I'm gonna get you a Mr. Lightning my Mr. Lightning let me sit up on Thunder's back and well you've both been awful nice to me well any ways to hear the present thank you Mr. Whitey all kind of fancy oh come on suppose you open it up and feel the only trouble is she don't have any close son yeah whitey ain't so good with the needle right now honey but I think when he takes up so and next year he'll be making us some bright pretty things oh sure like you well you run in the front room and find some scrap bright now honey they're in that big chance she sure looks fine for being a stick as she had hands and said she was dead handsome just a regular old woman well that child never was very sick if you ask me yeah come over the night left with the rest of you didn't wouldn't have it but that he take her right down to Wade County where Doc Bentley could see her every day well he paid for it all out of his own pocket room and board Dr. Bill's and all so I reckon I got no cause to be carrying on about it just didn't look in the right drawer honey here you just help yourself to this coffee while it's hot I'll slip in there and find some scraps to be working on all right and then we'll help us out or so you like to dolly off like it's also dirty now but I can wash it and help me him and he likes it look that's a piece of prison or shoes the form yes what is where's your father honey why you're crying child oh yes this is Klinger you found this piece of less reform where it is he's gone now you weren't here last night but he's gone now you want to wait where I don't know back in the hills maybe I'm sorry Mrs. Linger but we got to do our duty come on what if you search a house first yes you said with the door buddy I'm sorry for front of the house and work back sure didn't have to come on I'm going to find me anyway unless I know just shouldn't have come I told you honey to give you away no cry baby oh the bandage you made from a prison uniform where of course you couldn't know honey girl yeah they're there now don't cry I'm glad I'm sending that telegram to the Attorney General but I just ain't going to be such good sport this I thought yes sometimes it ain't much fun catching the right man but you ain't you ain't got the right man I didn't kill Si Wallace or I swear I didn't listen Marshall your names note all over this part of the country to stand for square play I didn't kill Si Wallace or I was convicted on circumstantial evidence when you listen to my story before you take me to prison yes they was I'll listen but again promise no more than that yes I was caught by the marshals and just escaped let me in Jed it's colder than the devil out here they ain't going to come around here tonight Jen they went down to Wade County what did they go down to Wade County to come up again move back in that room boy well sure sure last but what you got that gun for you yet Hanson but first I got a little talking to do down all right I'll sit down but Jen Hanson you killed Si Wallace or I didn't it's a lie I did you kill Si Wallace or because you wouldn't sell your land you know the railroad wanted that property and a bid high for it so you kill Si and frame me I didn't less I swear that I said you even took honey down to Wade County so she couldn't testify to me being home with her the night of the killing when I was waiting to be tried you kept telling me she was getting worse and worse it was a lie but dirty lie but you better not lie to me now Jen if you do now give you just what you give sorry don't shoot me less I didn't do that they don't shoot me no I don't reckon a weird shooting is too good for a yellow levered coyote like you there I ain't got the gun on you anymore Jen but I'm going to choke you I'm going to choke you till your gas went for air till your eyes I got the gun now less you shouldn't have been so careless sure I killed Si Wallace but I shot him in the back you're going to get it in the stomach you're sneaking back and full well what's a way this gun ain't loaded where you wait for the guy that's the marshal don't let him get away Martin yeah I just couldn't have you getting away after all the trouble less went to put on this little show for us show sure Jen sure lightening Jim believe me when I told him about me being with honey the night of the killing so him and whitey here have done a little detective work and they found out about you buying Si's land but we didn't have no real evidence so less he put on this little act to get the forest then there was a trick you marshal was outside all the time so we was dead less thought you'd confess it's the point of a gun but when you held out well I guess it figured maybe you was a kind of a coward that talks more with a gun in his head you mean he fixed it so that I could get that gun that's just what he did Jen put the cops on him why didn't let's get going you know there's one more thing we got to do tonight it gets why Mr. sure who's it going to Mr. R. B. Houston attorney general and the message have caught the murderer of Si Wallace will get him some time Monday this time you can be sure you're getting the right man just sign it right back galley slightly when he sees who we bring in he'll think we got the wrong man again and so ends another thrilling chapter in the lives of United States Marshal lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy of what he lost
