Hell yeah Matt Dillon wasn't a sheriff. He was a (fictional) Dodge City, Kansas town marshal.  ... Slight correction. In Gunsmoke, Matt Dllion was a U.S. Marshal. Not a town Marshal. FWIW. L.W.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." (William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830s.)
