Scene 7
Sheriff Tells Mr. Gary
Medicine
Paying off "Monster"
Sheriff
catches Medicine ManSheriff Randy told us that he had been suspicious of this monster story from
the very beginning and as much as he don’t like talking about his kin, he become
leery of Dixie Lee also. Seems he had stopped by her trailer a few days
back and she had forty nine bottles of the medicine man’s tonic. Now
knowing Dixie Lee never had any money, and she would do just about anything for
tonics and beauty aids, he thought he better watch her. Just the night
before he had seen the medicine man sneaking into Dixie Lee’s trailer then that
very day he had received a letter from a water company from a small town outside
of Tampa named Zephyrhills
.
Sheriff
Tells Mr. GaryThey just wanted to check up on the medicine man who was trying to sell them the wonderful water from Magnesia Springs to bottle and sell to the public. Who ever thought of such a dumb thing, people buying water in a bottle when you can get it right out of the well.
