You'll never hang me

the long version

Rick Patterson was still a young man, sitting there in the Elk City jail, waiting for the sheriff to call him to his hanging. He'd packed an awful lot of living into his less than thirty years - until he took on greedy cattlemen from up in Montana and down through Wyoming. But even Rick Patterson couldn't stand up against all that power. Sitting in that jail, waiting for it, Rick knew one thing for sure - they'd never hang him.
