A lone marshal rode toward town on a black Arabian. As he neared, his voice could be heard, a deep baritone that was hauntingly, even unnaturally clear. "I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray! In Dixie’s Land I’ll take my stand to live and die in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie."
He hopped of his horse, cradling his beloved Henry repeater in the crook of his arm as he produced the wanted poster. "Texas Red! You've taken 28 lives. Make me 29 or you'll never take another!" He roared to the town.

A man with a dark brown duster and a bandolier stepped onto the street his gun resting at his hip "well someone's going in the dirt and its not me Marshall."
A man watched from the salloons second floor Texas reds face was on a wanted poster beside him. He was in a black duster and cowboy hat his dark brown eyes glittered as he watched.

The sun was rising behind Jesse. "I don't know you," He said calmly, though his grip shifting on his rifle belied his readiness. Suddenly, it came up as he swiveled, putting a high-power round through Red's chest. "I know you, though." As he spoke, he dropped to a knee, turning his rifle back to the man on the street. "Stand down, and we both walk away."

The man brought up his gun suddenly but as he did a shot rang out he fell dead and behind him stood a man with a sherrifs badge he looked at Jessie and said "I need to speak with you" with that he turned and entered his sherrifs office.

Before heading in, he went Red's room and took his gun, with the notches filed into it. He brought this to the sheriff's office. Setting it and the Marshall badge on the man's desk, he pulled out the bounty notice.
In those days, local law enforcement was authorized and required to pay all bounties collected in their jurisdiction. They would then send for reimbursement by Pony Express to the bounty issuer.

the sherrif put a bag of gold on the table then spoke "you could double that i just need you to hunt down and kill or capture derrick redwood" the sherrif slid a wanted poster forward 5,000 gold (a lot of money)
a deputy also brought a wrap sheet forward
from a glance everything but the sherrifs gun seemed old

He read the wrap sheet, then looked up. "That's a nice piece of iron you got there. How long have you had it?"

"Robbed Texas Red. Guts." He folded the poster, slipping it into a pocket. "Sounds like time for a house call." With that he turned and headed to the nearest bar to soak up information.

Jesse headed out, singing, "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. He is tramplin' out the vintage where his grapes of wrath are stored..."
A couple days later, he rode into his destination. "Buffalo girls won't you come out tonight, Come out tonight, come out tonight. Buffalo girls won't you come out tonight, And dance by the light of the moon." He tied his horse and started heading toward the tavern.

"Derrick Redwood. You're a wanted man." As he spoke, he had one hand shoved in a pocket.
