'The Marshal' episode #4

'The Day  Town Slept' — Mark told Micah that he was the best marshal they ever had.  Micah ask him how many marshal's has he know.  "None except you," said Mark

'The Marshal'  What about about Sheriff Fred Tomlinson?   Cowgirl! 

 

Credits for 'The Sharpshooter' Is it Marshal Fred Tomlinson or is it Sheriff Fred Tomlinson? 
The credits read Marshal Fred Tomlinson but when he introduces himself to Lucas he states Sheriff.
  Cowgirl!

The question was asked: "What about Sheriff Thomlinson?" in response to Mark saying that Micah was the only Marshal he knew. Sheriff and Marshal are two different things. A Sheriff is over a town or county (and is elected), a Marshal has a much wider range (for instance, these days US Marshals have jurisdiction over any US property), in the "old west", it often included Indian lands (and is *not* elected). So, Mark saying he only knew one Marshal is not unheard of (though I would think that in Enid, OK he may have met a Marshal or not).  Thanks Annie Brown!

The marshal tells the outlaws that Micah is working on the McCain place - 15 miles west of town. But, in the Sharpshooter, the Dunlap Ranch was 4 miles from town, and in some episode it was described as being south of town.
But the sign in 'The Sharpshooter' says: 4 miles South. Just how far was it to The McCain Ranch?  Thanks Renewed Fan!

No rug - Mark is getting ready to scrub the floor in the living area with a mop.  BUT when we watch 'The Schoolmaster' Mark is sweeping a rug.

 When we meet Micah, his "bad" arm is nearly useless. It gets better in the other episodes.  Thanks Rob!
