Particularly Socially responsible episode - I couldn't believe it when "Mark" said to "Lucas" - "an Indian marshal..? What's the world coming to, pa?". This was at least 4 or 5 years before many of other TV shows of that era addressing racial equality (eg-Star Trek) aired. Somewhat disappointed, though, that "Lucas" didn't address this topic better father-to-son (as was the common "Closing M0" for the Rifleman-a father -to-son discussion on what had transpired during the episode); Michael Ansara did an excellent speech in the saloon, though, highlighting the lack of differences in race b/w Indians and whites. I'm Checking the spoiler button but doubt this really constitutes a Spoiler since this episode originally aired in 1958!
