:59:05
We must all act together if we are ever to rid
this town of Badger or any other lawbreaker.
:59:09
Something's got to be done
about this masked outlaw.
:59:12
Unless we can catch him red-handed...
:59:14
or can someway learn his identity,
there's not much we can do.
:59:17
I know someone who can identify
the Masked Bandit.
:59:19
Explain yourself, Mrs. Gideon.
:59:21
- I don't wish to injure anyone's reputation.
- I'm sure you don't.
:59:25
But Flower Belle, the Sheriff's wife,
has an intimate acquaintance with him.
:59:29
- What's that?
- Yes.
:59:30
She was asked to leave Little Bend
on account of him.
:59:33
Of course, she claims
she never saw his face, but...
:59:35
That's possible.
:59:36
But it is known he visited her
in her own room.
:59:40
So everybody in Little Bend believes that...
:59:42
Well, you know.
What else can everyone believe?
:59:45
I'm inclined to give her
the benefit of the doubt.
:59:48
However, I will agree to keep
an accurate check on her activities.
:59:51
I suggest...
:59:53
Another thing.
:59:54
Your name was brought up at
the Vigilante Committee meeting last night...
:59:57
in connection with the masked outlaw
who's been robbing the stages.
1:00:00
In what connection?
1:00:01
A person said that you've been well
acquainted with him for some time...
1:00:05
that you actually know who he is.
1:00:06
I don't know who he is. I wish I did.
1:00:09
Nobody believes me. I hope you do.
1:00:12
- I was just beginning to like you.
- I believe you.
1:00:15
- Mr. Carter?
- What is it, Lem?
1:00:17
- Miss Foster's fainted again.
- Who's Miss Foster?
1:00:20
She's the lady that's teaching school.
1:00:23
Come on. Let's see what we can do for her.
1:00:28
What's this, Miss Foster? Aren't you taking
the job a little too seriously?
1:00:32
I guess it upsets me too much,
when the boys get unruly.
1:00:36
Wet a towel and put it on her head.
1:00:41
Go back to your books, boys.
1:00:49
Don't let them get you upset.
It's your nerves, you need a rest.
1:00:54
You hear that? It gives you an example
of what she's got to put up with.
1:00:57
- I better go dismiss the class for the day.
- No, that's what they're hoping you'll do.
