Just like that

An old enemy of Marshal Brett Cullen shows up in Sweetwater and just looking to take the town over. A regular 19th century frontier Donald Trump is Patrick John Hurley. Back in the day he was responsible for the death of Cullen's wife.

Now he has a telegram from the governor appointing one of Hurley's henchmen as the new marshal. And Hurley has an old style protection racket started.

I had some trouble with this one. Just how Hurley got all this influence coming out of nowhere is never really explained. Still Cullen has friends to stand by him and Anthony Zerbe has friends in most high places,
