Billy Bob Pete strolled into the saloon.


He moseyed up to the bar and ordered a whiskey.


Turning around, he spoke to all those gathered.

"Listen up, all you dusty trail cowboys and fine young ladies.

Busted Gulch has new law in town and that law is me, Sheriff Billy Bob Pete."


He flung back his long duster and let all see his new shiny star.

"And being the law, I says there will be more more gamblin' in this here town."


A hush fell over the saloon.

"Ifin anyone gots anything to say, say it now."


A horse stood just outside the saloon doors and stared inside.


"And whoever of you that owns that horse, take it home."
