J.B. Kendall, an Englishman and a reporter for the London Times newspaper, is exploring the American West and writing stories about life and death in the new territories. Starting in St. Louis, he traveled by riverboat up the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers and finally docked at a town named South Sunday in the Montana territory. He disembarked and made his way to the express office in hopes that there would be a letter with his remittance from England, as he had only fifty dollars left in his pocket. The clerk says "Good afternoon, just off the boat?" Kendall says "Right. I wonder if there's a letter for me, J.B. Kendall". The clerks says "Kendall, uh, any trouble on the way up? I hear the Sioux have been kicking up their heels. Sitting Bull's making big medicine again. Don't sound good". Kendall says "We didn't see any". As the clerk is looking over the correspondence, he asks "You're English, ain't you? Kendall says "Yes". Clerk says "I figured by your talk. We don't see many of you in these parts. Uh, nope. Nothing for you, mister". Kendall says "You sure? It's rather important, from England". Clerk says "Nope. Nothing. Maybe tomorrow on the overland though. Say, you planning to stay awhile?" Kendall says "I think so". Clerk says "You better get registered then". Kendall says "Registered?" Clerk says "Over at Sheriff Clanton's office. There's a notice on the wall, maybe it missed your attention. It says that all strangers to South Sunday will, within one hour of arrival, register at the office of the sheriff or be prosecuted. That's Clanton's orders. I'm surprised you missed the signs. They're all over". Kendall says "Thank you". Clerk says "That's all right. Wouldn't want to see you in trouble. This ain't the healthiest town in the territory for strangers".
