Jed 'Pa' Beason with his two sons and daughter Iona bust into the Laramie Hotel with Jed on a stretcher wanting a room and the Marshal. The men are wanted for many raids. Jed dying from "the fever" asks Troop for favors in return for his full confession. He wants to be buried in town, Iona returned east, see her in women's clothes, and his sons released. Troop refuses to let his sons go but will give them time to see to Jed as he dies. Lily dresses Iona who has caught Johnny's eye in one of her dresses. Iona returns to her father who provides Troop Jed's written confession. Jed passes as he tells his sons the deal.
