Goofs
When Murray throws the silver dollar into the muddy puddle, it immediately sinks into the cloudy water. But when he get Jammie to come over to fish it out, when the camera does a close up on the silver dollar, it is no longer hidden in the muddy water, but on and above it. A platform had obviously been made (of mud?) in the mud to make the silver dollar protrude above the water.

Quotes
Narrator: [Opening Narration. Viewers see earth-moving machinery at a construction site] The place: Utah - the hills above Salt Lake City. The project: to move a mountain. Giant machines and armies of men moving millions of tons of earth to make way for a river - a river which one day will turn the desert into Eden.
[Viewers see Richard Kimble, clipboard in hand, emerge from a shack]
Narrator: For Richard Kimble, the mountain offers protection, Here, he is Paul Beaumont, timekeeper, lost among the other workers. Here, he feels he can rest awhile. Here, he is safe.

Once again, Kimble takes on a bully....

One of the common themes in episodes of "The Fugitive" is the bully who picks on a smaller or disabled person. Invariably, Richard Kimble, at considerable risk to himself, comes to the defenseless person's aid. In this case, it's a young man named Jamie. Jamie is intellectually challenged--and Dan (James Best) takes great delight in tormenting the guy on the construction site where they all work. Inexplicably, the other workers fall in line with Dan.

Later in the episode, after Kimble does his usual fistfight with the bully, Dan decides to get Jamie in trouble...and gets the guy fired. Soon after this, someone assaults the boss' wife and Dan is quick to foment a lynch mob mentality. This really makes little sense, as Jamie liked the lady and she was teaching him to read. Can Kimble figure out what REALLY happened?!

This is a good episode...in some ways like the episode "Fatso" just a couple episodes earlier. However, it's not nearly as good because the conclusion as to who attacked the lady NEVER is in any way in question. It does, however, reiterate that Kimble is a heck of a great guy....
