Sheriff Makes Gentle Guide to Jail in Card Game Tale
A sheriff escorts Jim Lancers from Golden Hill to Lucky Valley after a card game dispute over Day Williams. Over drinks and stories, Jim resists capture, insisting he cannot be taken alive. The sheriff spares pride, feigns kindness, and promises humane treatment before Jim agrees to accompany him, ten days later attending a necktie social.
