After the fifth Sheriff had died, the city refused to send any more until the Mayor had an explanation and an assurance it wouldn't happen again.
The Mayor wasn't sure what to do. None of them had been shot or attacked by criminals, that would have been enough to get an army of Marshalls down, but it was too late now. And the truth, that they'd all died in their sleep, wasn't good enough.
So, they made up a story about a local cook poisoning them, and him dying.
This worked, especially when the bartender cleaned his special Sheriff glass.
