Last Fenian Raid
Members of the Fenian Brotherhood (fighting for Irish independence) come to Bordertown.
They are Liam's niece Kathleen, her husband Darcy, and  cousin Patrick.
Liam is happy to see his niece after 15 years, but is concerned about
her involvement with the brotherhood.
Colonel Forsythe arrives with his gopher Henry Hanks and
a strong box containing $5,0000. He gets Clive to lock the
box in one of the jail cells, and instructs Hanks to guard it.
Bennett tells the Colonel  "Marshal Craddock is here."
Colonel replies: "It is not his jurisdiction, thankfully the
marshal has no authority in Canada."
Jack to Clive: "Hard to believe he protected Canada in
the last Fenian raid, he shoulda thought twice, he'd a
looked better in emerald green than woodpecker red."
Jack to Hanks: "Beef jerky?"   Hanks: "No sir, my name is Henry Hanks."
Jack questions Hanks about the money and
learns that Colonel Forsythe has been docking
his men's pay for years, and plans to use it to
to set up an estate for his men to work on when
they muster out.
Jack: "My name ain't sir."
"Don't you find that just a might peculiar?
This estate he's settin' up he's buyin' with yer money."
Jack has to do his rounds, so he loads and  passes a rifle to
Hanks. "Here, just in case."
"You do know how to use that thing don't ya?"
