After Sheriff Roy Coffee gives Ben, Hoss, and Adam the report on Sam Kirby's past, Ben picks it up again, glances at it, wads it up again, and then throws it in the fireplace. The crumpled paper falls short of the fire and can be seen between Hoss and Adam. Ben stares into the fire pretending to watch it burn, then after Kirby storms out Ben walks back over to where Hoss and Adam are still sitting, and the paper is gone.
