The Rifleman
"Welcome to the McCain Ranch"
Chit Chat on bloopers and things worth mentioning!
'Eight Hours to Die' 3 episode #6
Early in this episode Lucas was in the General Store talking to storekeeper Hattie Denton when the Postmaster in the store called Lucas over to give him a letter. Lucas called the Postmaster Willard and repeated his name a second time. Also the IMDB named the character Willard and played by Russell Collins and the credits following the show listed Collins' character as Mr. Denton. Thanks Louis!
But, dog gone it, later in the Episode Micah called the Postmaster Henry Denton twice. So I suppose we have another Blooper. Lucas and Micah calling the postmaster and probably assistant storekeeper, by different names. Thanks Louis!
So who is Mr. Denton/Henry Denton?
Russell Collins played Charlie Willard the father of Dan Willard in 'The Apprentice Sheriff'. This is episode #11.
Hattie Denton was introduced to us in
'Eight Hours to Die' episode #6. This is before 'The Apprentice Sheriff'.
Hattie also owned The General Store after 'The Apprentice Sheriff'.
So does Charlie work for Hattie or was he suppose to be Mr. Denton/Henry
Denton?

When Micah was approaching the McCain Ranch Lucas grabbed his Rifle and cocked it, but it did not fire. Usually throughout the show this cocking action ejected a spent cartridge from breech on the pull stroke and shoved a new cartridge into the breech and activated the trigger (with the special screw) on the return push stroke, which fired the rifle. Thanks Louis!

Paul Fix was not credited for playing Micah in this episode. Also, could we possibly assume that Willard or Henry was Hattie's husband or Brother since Micah called his last name as Denton? Thanks Lou!
