People do not give it credence that
a young girl couldleave home
and go off in the winter time
to avenge her father's blood,
but it did happen.
I was just fourteenyears of age when a coward
by the name of Tom Chaney shot my father down.
And robbed him of his life and his horse
and two California gold pieces that he carried
in his trouser band.
Chaney was a hired man.
And Papa had taken him up to Fort Smith
to help lead back a string of mustangponies he'd bought.
In town, Chaney had fallen to drink
and cards, and lost all his money.
He got it into his head he'd been cheated
and went back to the boarding house
for his Henry rifle.
When Papa tried to intervene,
Chaney shot him.
Chaney fled.
He could have walked his horse.
For not a soul in that city could
be bothered to give chase.
No doubtChaneyfanciedhimself scott-free.
But he was wrong.
You must pay for everything in this world,
one way or another.
There is nothing free.
Except the grace of God.
Is that the man?
That is my father.
If you would like to kiss him
it would be all right.
He's gone to heaven.
Praise the Lord.
Why is it so much?
The quality of the casket.
And of the embalming.
The lifelikeappearancerequires time and art.
And the chemicals come dear.
The particulars are in your bill.
If you'd like to kiss him it would be all right.
Thank you, the spirit has flown
Your wire said $50.
You did not specify he was to be shipped.
Well, $60 is every cent we have.
It leavesnothing for our board.
Yarnell, you can see to the body's transport to
the trainstation and accompany it home.
I'll have to sleep here tonight.
I still have to collect father's things and
see to some other business.
Your Mama didn't say nothingabout you
settling no business here.
It is business Mama didn't know about. It's all right
Yarnell, I dismiss you.
I am not sure.
Tell mama not to sign anythinguntil I return home
and see that Papa is buried in his mason's apron.
Your terms are agreeable, if I may pass the night here.
Here, amongthese people?
- These people?
- I'm expectingthree more souls.
Sutherland, Smith, and His-Tongue-In-The-Rain.
Ladies and gentlemen beware
and train up your children in the way
that they should go!
You see what has become of me
because of drink.
I killed a man
in a trifilingquarrel over a pocketknife.
If I had received good instruction as a child
Could you point out the sheriff?
Him with the moustaches.
I would be with my wife and children today.
I do not know what is to become of them.
But I hope and pray that you will not slight
them and compel them to go into low company.
Well.
I killed the wrong man is the which-of-why I'm here.
Had I killed the man I meant to. I don't
believe I would a been convicted.
I see men out there in that crowd
is worse than me.
...Okay.
Before I hang, I would like to say.
(Chanting in Indian tongue)
Naw, we ain't arrested him.
Ain't caught up to him, he lit
out to the Territory.
I wouldthink that he has throwed in with
Lucky Ned Pepper, whose gang robbed a
mail hack yesterday on the Poteau river.
Well, why are you not looking for him?
I have no authority in the Indian Nation.
Tom Chaney is the business of the USmarshals now.
When will they arrest him?
Not soon I'm afraid, the marshals are not well staffed.
And I'll tell you, frankly, Chaney is at the
end of a long list of fugitives and malefactors.
Could I hire a marshal to pursue Tom Chaney?
You have a lot of experience with
bounty hunters, do you?
That is a silly question. I am here
to settle my father's affairs.
