Barney came bursting into matt’s office…Marshal!…Marshal!.. you here?   Barney what is it…?
Slow down … Marshal , the wire is back up,.. this just came in.. actually two came in.. which one you want?
Barney gimme’ them both!     Oh, yeah here.. Handing them over.. do you want me to wait for a response?
Wait let me see…  one was a wire telling Matt another one of the escapee’s were captured… near Topeka.
Then he got to the other… he wasn’t sure what he was reading:

Marshal , This wire is to inquire about information on one Kitty Russell?   Do you have such a citizen in Dodge.. says she the owner of The Long Branch Saloon?   I’m currently holding her for horse theft…
Also claims to be a friend of your’s…?    will be taking her to Topeka.. for trial.. Don’t believe she is who she claims to be…I believe she is the woman of one of the escapee’s on the loose…

Sheriff Ryan,
Hermitage , Missouri


Matt face dropped …. Kitty!… how did you end up there ? And what happened?  Barney ask again…
Marshal.. a Reply?  Yes ..tell Sheriff.. I’m on my way.. not to go anywhere ..till I get there!

Matt headed to Doc’s office…just as he started up the stairs… Doc and Newly were coming out…
Oh Doc good… I need to see you, …you too Newly.   What’s wrong Matt?  Doc ask.
Doc Kitty’s in trouble.. well I think, anyway?  I just got a wire from a sheriff in Hermitage, Missouri
Says he has Kitty in jail… …Matt! What in Thunder?   I don’t know Doc.. he said for horse theft?
Now matt.. You know kitty wouldn’t steal a… shaking his head…Yeah Doc I know that!   Newly, I need you to look out after things here… sure will marshal!  Newly said still not sure what he was hearing…



With the click and rolling sound of the barrel… both kitty and the sheriff ..quickly turned…
Well, Now.. Thought that would get your attention.. folks?  Hand over the gun Sheriff…?
Kitty started to move slowly…et, et …now you don’t want to do that Miss Kitty!   How’d you know my name?    Why Your Miss Kitty Russell of Dodge City!    That’s right ..she answered.  But how’d you know and why do you care?    Your gonna… be our ticket.. to freedom…ha ha ha.    What makes you think I can help you? She ask.    Com’on now darlin’ That Marshal ain’t gonna do anything stupid.. whils’t we have his woman?     Now the Sheriff looked at Kitty…You’re the marshal’s woman?… You are Kitty Russell?
That’s what I’ve been telling you…    But you don’t look like…. No I guess I don’t ..after getting caught in the rain storm. .and treading  thought god knows where to find help for Burt the Stage driver?  I, I, and the horse that belong to the stage line?   We had an accident… broken axle.. I used the horse to look for help.
Ma’am…Miss Russell…I’m sorry…     enough you two!… you get in there.. Pushing the sheriff into one of his cells.  What are you going to do with me? Kitty ask.   You darlin’ your all our!    Under her breath….
And I had to ask what else could go wrong?

Come’on   we got you a saddle ..so it will be a better ride…   How long have you been following me?
