captain of Cavalry.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Lieutenant Cybrits. Reporting is ordered, Captain.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Oh, he's, mister Sabritz. I have a special detail for you. Yes, sir,
We've received a report as a band of Brulet Sioux
camped in the North Fork near White. But I want
you to ride out and see what they're up to. Yes, sir,
they're too close to the Bozeman Trail. Better take a
scout with you. I suggest Dan Tolliver. I prefer Pete Haysen. Sir, Oh,
why I don't care for Tolliver. He's the best scout
(01:50):
on the post.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
He's a squaw man.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You've still got a lot to learn about the West,
mister Saberts. I suggest you might find old Dan Tulliver
a very valuable teacher.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Yes, sir, Yes, Sari Son.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
I come out of these parts when I was a
lot younger than you might a lot younger.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Nothing normal cheek, but peach.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Buzz must have been rugged those days.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Rugged.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Why, Son, they weren't a town or village tricks Saint
Joe on the Missouri and Moderey on the Pacific, man
had room to breathe. Now look at it, immigrants pushing
west every year, filling the plains with dust and damnation.
I can't say I blame the Indians for being a
might put out about it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I'd expect you.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
To look at it that way.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
What do you seegni find by that? Son? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I understand you've been closer to the Indians than some
of us.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Well, so I haven't a manner of speaking. Lived amongst
them off and on for many a year. Find people
decent people.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I saw how decent they were up on the powdered river.
Man doesn't look very pretty after they've been decent to him?
What prior to the states you call home, sir, Pennsylvania?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Mm hmm, Well, how do you feed them?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
All of a sudden a lot of people started crowding
into your hometown, moving on the street you live in,
moving right sprayer into your house.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Maybe what do you do?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
I don't know, and I know you throw him out,
that's what. But this whole prairie belongs to the Indian. Yes, sir,
she's home, and he feels about it just the same
way as you do about your home.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It isn't the same thing.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Might see the same to an Indian.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Oh wait, wait, wait a minute, what is it? Indian?
Where down there in that drawl?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Oh yeah, his horse is bucking.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yeah, look well, first time I ever knowed an Indian
to get thrown off his horse. Let's go, come on,
tell you that or snake, it's gonna strike.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That's why her horse thrower.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Yeah, snake ain't gonna be much used no more.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
You better get a tourniquet on that leg before the
poison starts moving.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
And you could use your revolver lanyard.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh sure, Uh, tell her not to be afraid. Tell
her will take care of her.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I understand you.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Oh well, it's got the blood stopped. Now I'm gonna
have to cut your legs so I can suck out
the poison. I'll try not to hurt you.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
She's painted.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It's just as well. I had to make sure to
get all that poisonous.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
That Indian blood tastes any different from regular blood.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Are you talking about blood's blood?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
That's what I've been talking about.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Help me get her over of my horse?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Where are you taking her back to the fort? Will
you think that's smart?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
We can't leave her out here. She needs a doctor's care.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
We could try to find her people's camp and.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Leave her with them to die of blood poisoning.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
She's only an Indian shine.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
All right, Tolliver, that's enough. Let's get our horses its
long ride back to the fort.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
What you've done may have serious consequences, mister Seyberts.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
What else could I do, sir?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Do Look from the Indians point of view, you've kidnapped
one of their women.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Well, I suggested we ought to find her village captain,
but the lieutenant said bring her here.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
We can only hope they didn't see you, and that's doubtful.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Her pony boted, and when it gets you back to
camp without her, there'll be devil to pay.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
She ain't no ordinary squall.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
What do you mean by the look of her clothes
and the way she wears her hair? She could be
the daughter of a chief lieutenant, Seyberts. We're here to
keep the peace, not to commit over to acts of hostility.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It was only an act of simple Christian charity.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Lieutenant, you'll form a detail at once and return that
girl to her people.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
But sir, the doctor says, she's got to stay in
bed for at least a couple of days.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
A couple of the guards here well, Post number three
reports a party of Indians righting toward the main gate.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
How many, fifty or sixty of them? Sir, what do
you think, Dan.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
My guess she is to come to parley.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
If you're right, let's see what they want.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I suppose that's the chief riding in along and Spotted Tail.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
He's always been friendly.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well he ain't dressed up.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Friend of the day, Captain, every scalp he ever took
dangling in the belt.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Shall I follow in the company?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Captain, don't move, sabits greeting's friend. The soldiers of the
Great White Father are honored by the visit of the
mighty Spotted Tail.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
These soldiers of a Great White Father say one thing,
do another?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Say want peace? Steal land, shoot buffalo, call.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
It peace now, steal Indian woman, steal daughter of Spottail.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Your daughter was not stolen, Spotted Tail.

She was hurt.
Speaker 2 (07:54):

Speaker 7 (08:53):
I move no, my father, I do as white doctor say.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You come to with the ludge of your father.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Captain.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
I can't be responsible.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Spotted Tail. Hear me. Aha Appa will live. She will
be well in a few days. If you move her now,
she may die soon.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Medicine man, make my daughter well.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Spotted Tail. You can pitch your lodge outside the fort
until Ahaapa is well again. You can see her every day.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Tail Agency Indian is warrior must hunt.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You can hunt around here. There's plenty of game.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
White soldier. Keep daughter of Spatiale in prison.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
My father wise chief, he knows this. No prison is hospital.
These are no enemy the friend Ahaa here, Awapa stay here,
I then.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Be sure, Well, mister Sabots, your a little adventure didn't
(10:20):
turn out so badly after all. No, sir, but I
don't advocate rescuing Indian maidens in distress as a substitute
for military duties.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
No, sir, only only what had the captain been in
my place? I feel sure he would have done the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh, yes, sir, maybe so. She's a spunky little baggage.
You going over to the quarters.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
As a matter of fact, sure, I thought maybe i'd
drop in at the hospital here I see.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, good luck, mister.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Sabots, Thank you, sir. Warning doctor Oh, Lieutenant Cyberts, how's
your patient this morning?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Well? Now I have more than one, lieutenant? How is
she well?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Now?
Speaker 8 (11:19):
By a curious coincidence, she was inquiring about you this morning?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
About me?
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Yes, she asked me to send for you. Why why
didn't you ask her? It's quite well enough to talk
to now.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Thanks doctor, warning, ma'am?
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Now is good?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
You feeling better?
Speaker 7 (11:48):
A pain all gone?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
That's fine?
Speaker 7 (11:51):
A how upa all life to lieutenant? Apa belong? Lieutenant?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I beg pardon how else?
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Ahabat show thanks.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
By getting well quickly is not enough? It's all the
thanks I need.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
It's strange.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
What is strange?
Speaker 7 (12:15):
White man, Indian? Both men? White men think different.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That's because we've been taught differently.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
Ahwapa like way white men think. You teach Allapa think
this way.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
That's quite a large order.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
But you do first, you teach Ahapa speak white man tongue.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
You speak English very well?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Not good? Ahaa, thing you teach better.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I'll be glad to try.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Good. You begin now?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Uh, I don't know where to begin.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
How does lieutenant call himself?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Me?
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Aha?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
What?
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Lieutenant?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
My name is Cybrits, Richard Cyberts.
Speaker 10 (13:11):
Richard Good.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
See a hope I learned first important English world.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Mister, sir, mister Seyberts. I may be mistaken, but I
don't believe I saw any change in the order of
the day.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I beg pardoner, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Since when have sash and plume been indicated as proper
dress for the officer in charge of guard Mount?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Well, it isn't, sir, But I thought it might be
good for the morale, the morale of whom Why the
men's are naturally?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
How's that? Lieutenant?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Well, sir? It also occurred to me that it might
make a good impression on the Indians around the post.
They put a lot of stock in their own headdresses
and ceremonial regalia. I thought it might be a good
idea to show them what our address uniform looks.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Like, Lieutenant Seibertz. The only Indian who witnessed this guard
mount was Ahuapa.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I'd noticed that, and had you noticed that?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Each time you are the officer of the day, she
is here on the parade ground to watch you change
the guard.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
So I guess she's interested in soldiers.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Sir, soldiers or a certain soldier.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I wouldn't know, Sir.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I believe you're off duty now, Yes, sir, Then, Lieutenant,
I suggest you shouldn't keep the lady waiting.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yes, sir, Thank you, sir. It always makes me a
little sad to say such a sunset so beautiful.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
My people say they not wish to die, and each
evening great spirit must fight with it until it died
bloody death, and only when it scalped will night come.
Warrior may sleep gain strength to meet new day.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
My people say the sun is a handsome god who
rides across the sky in a golden chariot, forever, chasing
the beautiful goddess who is the moon?
Speaker 7 (15:41):
And does he ever catch her?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Never?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
He said, story he should catch her.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
He can't, for he belongs to the day and she
did the Knight.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
But if he did catch her, what would happen?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Who knows? So great is their love? Perhaps the heavens
would burst into blinding flame, consuming everything.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Oh, yes, but he would have got her.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yes, he would have caught her.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
He gone, now, your handsome sun god gone over edge
of world. Great spirit has killed him.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Oh no, he's not dead. Look over in the east.
The moon goddess comes following after.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Richard. Yes, I am that moon goddess. You are that
god of sun, and I follow you always and never
never may I got you.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Now? No, I won't run away over the edge of
the world like the Sun. I'll stay here with you
always always.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
You're not afraid of blinding flame that consume everything?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I'm not afraid.
Speaker 10 (17:18):
Then, I'm not afraid.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Evening the cybergs.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Hello, honey, you want a little rye? No thanks, I'm
looking for Captain Quince. Has he been in I haven't
seen them all evening?
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Well, well hello there n Hello Dan.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
How about you and me having a little drink?
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Nothing oh come home now, an' very sociable scenes.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
How you and me got a lot in common?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Oh? You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
If you'll pardon me, mister Harry Shan, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Now, I wait now, nothing like a pretty little squad
to change a man's mind about Indians.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yes, there, shun you, filthy s I wait, there's.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
No farce to get your dander up. I registered.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Hey, hey, oh what's this all about?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Captain Quinch. You are to take better care of this
young man of yours. He seems my touchy Mister Sabbath.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You're aware of the regulations covering the conduct of officers
in uniform, Yes, sir, only you'll consider yourself confined to
quarters until further notice, Yes, sir. Captain Quinn's reporting, Sir.
Speaker 11 (19:10):
Morningly here you referee a little scuffle over at the
Sutlers last night.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, yes, sir, one.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
Of our officers fighting a civilian.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Well, Major Daggett. As far as I can see, he
was provoked. Did Dan Tolliver attack him? No, Sir, Tolliver
was taunting him about the Indian girl.
Speaker 11 (19:29):
Cyber's in love with her.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Apparently, well, his.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
Love affair will have to wait. We've got more important
things to worry about. That's why I sent for you. Yes, sir,
just got a dispatch from Fort Kearney. Some idiot Kansas
militia outfit attacked the Cheyenne village last week.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
But we have a treaty. We're at peace with the Gayanne.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Apparently it didn't mean a thing to those brave civilian soldiers.
They attacked without warning of provocation, massacred every man, woman
and child in the village. Come in, pardon, sir, Yes, sergeant,
what is it?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
The Indians are pulled out.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
It was there last night, but this morning they ain't
a single teepee down by the river, just a couple
of stray dogs.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
They got the news quicker than we did.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
They always do.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
A party of Cheyenne is killed and the Sioux take
to the war path, we may have a general uprising
in our hands. Have your company ready to move out
in half an hour, Captain, Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Is not good for a daughter of chief to be
tied like prisoner.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Is not good for a daughter of chief to refuse
to follow her people to war.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
We are now many matches from white Man on time me.
Now I shall stay with my people.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
It's good. You will get will in your mind now.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
The white man medicine make your body will but your
mind sick.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You will be well now.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
There is much good about white man.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
He killed our people.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Not white man at Fort Laramie. It was others. And
it was not our people who were killed. It was
a Chayan. We at peace with white men at for Laramie.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
White man, white man in your.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
In your and soon white man will kill us all.
If we will not make peace with him.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Then we will die brave in battle, not drawn on reservation.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
You will warrior will, But what of women? What of me?
Speaker 9 (21:41):
For many moon dark Elk warn you for his wife,
marry him and have many babies.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I will remain with my people as long as I live,
that I promise. But I will never marry dark Elk
or any other Indian. Another glass of punch, Major, Captain Quinn.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Thank him his devenport on Christmas Eve? Why not take
it well? Merry Christmas, Lee, Merry Christmas. Major.
Speaker 11 (22:40):
There was young Cybers thought the doctor was letting him
out of the hospital at last.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
And he'll be along presently. Major. I have a suggestion
to make, if I may here, go aheadly This has
been a bad winter so far. It looks like it's
going to be worse. The Indians are only bound feel it.
Game is scarce. They haven't the advantages of the treaty supplies.
(23:05):
We were finishing them before they took the war path.
Watch you suggestion, lely call them in for a peace
parley as soon as the snow's melt, say April first.
Maybe we can end this useless bloodshed.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Maybe, but I don't think they'll come. Why not after
that massacre in Kansas last summer. They won't forget. I
can't say as I blame them. Were the tries, and
it's a certainly anything's worth a trying.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Lieutenant, how's the arm?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Doctor says it's gonna be all right, sir.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Lucky he didn't lose it. You should have seen it.
Major arrow cracked the bone, pinned his arm against his side.
As a miracle, he's alive.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
I know those were spotted tails warriors, Lieutenant, Yes, sir,
any idea who got you?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yes, sir, warrior name dark Yelk. He was after my
scalp by shot him.
Speaker 11 (23:52):
That changed your opinion of Indians, Lieutenant, No, sir, they're
a fine race of people.
Speaker 12 (23:57):
Sir, I mean beg pardon, sir, as lieutenant. What is
a party of Indians approaching the poster war party? No, sir,
women and children along with the braves.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Yeah, maybe we'll have a peace partly.
Speaker 11 (24:18):
After all, let's go out and meet him.
Speaker 13 (24:22):
Now, where's Captain Quinch right outside? Sir Major, it's Spotted
Tale and I.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
See it this.
Speaker 9 (24:45):
Greetings, soldiers of the Great Wife Falla.
Speaker 11 (24:50):
Greetings, brave Spotted Taiale.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I come in peace and in sorrow?
Speaker 11 (24:57):
What sorrow is the mighty chief of the Sioux.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
My dough Aapa had gone beyond the sunset to join
the great Spirit.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
She's dead.
Speaker 11 (25:11):
The soldiers of the Great White Father joined in the
sorrow of Spotted Tail.
Speaker 9 (25:15):
The winter was long and cold, there was little to eat.
A fever came to a Wapa and would not leave
her until at last she left me forever. But before
she fell into long sleep, she asked two favors.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
One I can grant, the other I must ask of you.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
And what are those favorites? Spotted Tail?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
She asked me to make peace with a white man.
I have come to make peace.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
It is good, Spotted Tail, And what is the faver
you must ask of me.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
Oh Wapa love white man. Oh Wapa say, if she
cannot be with white man in life, then if she
wished to be with him in death, oh Wapa ask
(26:24):
to be buried for love of me.
Speaker 11 (26:28):
It shall be done. Captain Quin's would you be good
enough to assign a funeral detail full military honors?

wild Frontier, the song a Fighting Men who rode the
rim of Empire, and the dramatic story of lee Quinn's
captain of Cavalry.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Lieutenant Cybrits. Reporting is ordered, Captain.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Oh, he's, mister Sabritz. I have a special detail for you. Yes, sir,
We've received a report as a band of Brulet Sioux
camped in the North Fork near White. But I want
you to ride out and see what they're up to. Yes, sir,
they're too close to the Bozeman Trail. Better take a
scout with you. I suggest Dan Tolliver. I prefer Pete Haysen. Sir, Oh,
why I don't care for Tolliver. He's the best scout
(01:50):
on the post.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
He's a squaw man.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You've still got a lot to learn about the West,
mister Saberts. I suggest you might find old Dan Tulliver
a very valuable teacher.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Yes, sir, Yes, Sari Son.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
I come out of these parts when I was a
lot younger than you might a lot younger.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Nothing normal cheek, but peach.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Buzz must have been rugged those days.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Rugged.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Why, Son, they weren't a town or village tricks Saint
Joe on the Missouri and Moderey on the Pacific, man
had room to breathe. Now look at it, immigrants pushing
west every year, filling the plains with dust and damnation.
I can't say I blame the Indians for being a
might put out about it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I'd expect you.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
To look at it that way.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
What do you seegni find by that? Son? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I understand you've been closer to the Indians than some
of us.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Well, so I haven't a manner of speaking. Lived amongst
them off and on for many a year. Find people
decent people.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I saw how decent they were up on the powdered river.
Man doesn't look very pretty after they've been decent to him?
What prior to the states you call home, sir, Pennsylvania?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Mm hmm, Well, how do you feed them?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
All of a sudden a lot of people started crowding
into your hometown, moving on the street you live in,
moving right sprayer into your house.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Maybe what do you do?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
I don't know, and I know you throw him out,
that's what. But this whole prairie belongs to the Indian. Yes, sir,
she's home, and he feels about it just the same
way as you do about your home.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It isn't the same thing.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Might see the same to an Indian.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Oh wait, wait, wait a minute, what is it? Indian?
Where down there in that drawl?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Oh yeah, his horse is bucking.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yeah, look well, first time I ever knowed an Indian
to get thrown off his horse. Let's go, come on,
tell you that or snake, it's gonna strike.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That's why her horse thrower.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Yeah, snake ain't gonna be much used no more.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
You better get a tourniquet on that leg before the
poison starts moving.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
And you could use your revolver lanyard.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh sure, Uh, tell her not to be afraid. Tell
her will take care of her.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I understand you.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Oh well, it's got the blood stopped. Now I'm gonna
have to cut your legs so I can suck out
the poison. I'll try not to hurt you.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
She's painted.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It's just as well. I had to make sure to
get all that poisonous.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
That Indian blood tastes any different from regular blood.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Are you talking about blood's blood?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
That's what I've been talking about.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Help me get her over of my horse?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Where are you taking her back to the fort? Will
you think that's smart?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
We can't leave her out here. She needs a doctor's care.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
We could try to find her people's camp and.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Leave her with them to die of blood poisoning.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
She's only an Indian shine.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
All right, Tolliver, that's enough. Let's get our horses its
long ride back to the fort.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
What you've done may have serious consequences, mister Seyberts.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
What else could I do, sir?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Do Look from the Indians point of view, you've kidnapped
one of their women.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Well, I suggested we ought to find her village captain,
but the lieutenant said bring her here.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
We can only hope they didn't see you, and that's doubtful.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Her pony boted, and when it gets you back to
camp without her, there'll be devil to pay.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
She ain't no ordinary squall.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
What do you mean by the look of her clothes
and the way she wears her hair? She could be
the daughter of a chief lieutenant, Seyberts. We're here to
keep the peace, not to commit over to acts of hostility.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It was only an act of simple Christian charity.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Lieutenant, you'll form a detail at once and return that
girl to her people.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
But sir, the doctor says, she's got to stay in
bed for at least a couple of days.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
A couple of the guards here well, Post number three
reports a party of Indians righting toward the main gate.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
How many, fifty or sixty of them? Sir, what do
you think, Dan.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
My guess she is to come to parley.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
If you're right, let's see what they want.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I suppose that's the chief riding in along and Spotted Tail.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
He's always been friendly.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well he ain't dressed up.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Friend of the day, Captain, every scalp he ever took
dangling in the belt.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Shall I follow in the company?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Captain, don't move, sabits greeting's friend. The soldiers of the
Great White Father are honored by the visit of the
mighty Spotted Tail.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
These soldiers of a Great White Father say one thing,
do another?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Say want peace? Steal land, shoot buffalo, call.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
It peace now, steal Indian woman, steal daughter of Spottail.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Your daughter was not stolen, Spotted Tail.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
She was hurt.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
This officer brought her here so the doctor could help her.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Where he is a Whappa my daughter, she.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Is in the hospital. I'll take you to her.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
It's true, my father, White soldier help me.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Why why enemy of Indian shave Indian life.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
We do not want to be your enemy's spotted tail.
We want peace.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I hear this many times before.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
I'm sorry too much. You'll have to go.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Now, come, Spotted Tail. Ahaapa must dress, not leave.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Daughter belong to her people.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I take, but you can't be moved.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
I move no, my father, I do as white doctor say.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You come to with the ludge of your father.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Captain.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
I can't be responsible.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Spotted Tail. Hear me. Aha Appa will live. She will
be well in a few days. If you move her now,
she may die soon.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Medicine man, make my daughter well.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Spotted Tail. You can pitch your lodge outside the fort
until Ahaapa is well again. You can see her every day.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Tail Agency Indian is warrior must hunt.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You can hunt around here. There's plenty of game.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
White soldier. Keep daughter of Spatiale in prison.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
My father wise chief, he knows this. No prison is hospital.
These are no enemy the friend Ahaa here, Awapa stay here,
I then.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Be sure, Well, mister Sabots, your a little adventure didn't
(10:20):
turn out so badly after all. No, sir, but I
don't advocate rescuing Indian maidens in distress as a substitute
for military duties.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
No, sir, only only what had the captain been in
my place? I feel sure he would have done the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh, yes, sir, maybe so. She's a spunky little baggage.
You going over to the quarters.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
As a matter of fact, sure, I thought maybe i'd
drop in at the hospital here I see.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, good luck, mister.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Sabots, Thank you, sir. Warning doctor Oh, Lieutenant Cyberts, how's
your patient this morning?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Well? Now I have more than one, lieutenant? How is
she well?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Now?
Speaker 8 (11:19):
By a curious coincidence, she was inquiring about you this morning?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
About me?
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Yes, she asked me to send for you. Why why
didn't you ask her? It's quite well enough to talk
to now.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Thanks doctor, warning, ma'am?
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Now is good?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
You feeling better?
Speaker 7 (11:48):

Speaker 4 (11:49):
That's fine?
Speaker 7 (11:51):
A how upa all life to lieutenant? Apa belong? Lieutenant?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I beg pardon how else?
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Ahabat show thanks.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
By getting well quickly is not enough? It's all the
thanks I need.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
It's strange.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
What is strange?
Speaker 7 (12:15):
White man, Indian? Both men? White men think different.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That's because we've been taught differently.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
Ahwapa like way white men think. You teach Allapa think
this way.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
That's quite a large order.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
But you do first, you teach Ahapa speak white man tongue.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
You speak English very well?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Not good? Ahaa, thing you teach better.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I'll be glad to try.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Good. You begin now?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Uh, I don't know where to begin.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
How does lieutenant call himself?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Me?
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Aha?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
What?
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Lieutenant?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
My name is Cybrits, Richard Cyberts.
Speaker 10 (13:11):
Richard Good.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
See a hope I learned first important English world.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Mister, sir, mister Seyberts. I may be mistaken, but I
don't believe I saw any change in the order of
the day.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I beg pardoner, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Since when have sash and plume been indicated as proper
dress for the officer in charge of guard Mount?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Well, it isn't, sir, But I thought it might be
good for the morale, the morale of whom Why the
men's are naturally?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
How's that? Lieutenant?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Well, sir? It also occurred to me that it might
make a good impression on the Indians around the post.
They put a lot of stock in their own headdresses
and ceremonial regalia. I thought it might be a good
idea to show them what our address uniform looks.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Like, Lieutenant Seibertz. The only Indian who witnessed this guard
mount was Ahuapa.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I'd noticed that, and had you noticed that?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Each time you are the officer of the day, she
is here on the parade ground to watch you change
the guard.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
So I guess she's interested in soldiers.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Sir, soldiers or a certain soldier.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I wouldn't know, Sir.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I believe you're off duty now, Yes, sir, Then, Lieutenant,
I suggest you shouldn't keep the lady waiting.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yes, sir, Thank you, sir. It always makes me a
little sad to say such a sunset so beautiful.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
My people say they not wish to die, and each
evening great spirit must fight with it until it died
bloody death, and only when it scalped will night come.
Warrior may sleep gain strength to meet new day.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
My people say the sun is a handsome god who
rides across the sky in a golden chariot, forever, chasing
the beautiful goddess who is the moon?
Speaker 7 (15:41):
And does he ever catch her?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Never?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
He said, story he should catch her.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
He can't, for he belongs to the day and she
did the Knight.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
But if he did catch her, what would happen?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Who knows? So great is their love? Perhaps the heavens
would burst into blinding flame, consuming everything.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Oh, yes, but he would have got her.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yes, he would have caught her.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
He gone, now, your handsome sun god gone over edge
of world. Great spirit has killed him.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Oh no, he's not dead. Look over in the east.
The moon goddess comes following after.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Richard. Yes, I am that moon goddess. You are that
god of sun, and I follow you always and never
never may I got you.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Now? No, I won't run away over the edge of
the world like the Sun. I'll stay here with you
always always.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
You're not afraid of blinding flame that consume everything?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I'm not afraid.
Speaker 10 (17:18):
Then, I'm not afraid.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Evening the cybergs.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Hello, honey, you want a little rye? No thanks, I'm
looking for Captain Quince. Has he been in I haven't
seen them all evening?
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Well, well hello there n Hello Dan.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
How about you and me having a little drink?
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Nothing oh come home now, an' very sociable scenes.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
How you and me got a lot in common?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Oh? You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
If you'll pardon me, mister Harry Shan, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Now, I wait now, nothing like a pretty little squad
to change a man's mind about Indians.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yes, there, shun you, filthy s I wait, there's.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
No farce to get your dander up. I registered.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Hey, hey, oh what's this all about?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Captain Quinch. You are to take better care of this
young man of yours. He seems my touchy Mister Sabbath.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You're aware of the regulations covering the conduct of officers
in uniform, Yes, sir, only you'll consider yourself confined to
quarters until further notice, Yes, sir. Captain Quinn's reporting, Sir.
Speaker 11 (19:10):
Morningly here you referee a little scuffle over at the
Sutlers last night.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, yes, sir, one.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
Of our officers fighting a civilian.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Well, Major Daggett. As far as I can see, he
was provoked. Did Dan Tolliver attack him? No, Sir, Tolliver
was taunting him about the Indian girl.
Speaker 11 (19:29):
Cyber's in love with her.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Apparently, well, his.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
Love affair will have to wait. We've got more important
things to worry about. That's why I sent for you. Yes, sir,
just got a dispatch from Fort Kearney. Some idiot Kansas
militia outfit attacked the Cheyenne village last week.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
But we have a treaty. We're at peace with the Gayanne.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Apparently it didn't mean a thing to those brave civilian soldiers.
They attacked without warning of provocation, massacred every man, woman
and child in the village. Come in, pardon, sir, Yes, sergeant,
what is it?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
The Indians are pulled out.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
It was there last night, but this morning they ain't
a single teepee down by the river, just a couple
of stray dogs.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
They got the news quicker than we did.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
They always do.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
A party of Cheyenne is killed and the Sioux take
to the war path, we may have a general uprising
in our hands. Have your company ready to move out
in half an hour, Captain, Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Is not good for a daughter of chief to be
tied like prisoner.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Is not good for a daughter of chief to refuse
to follow her people to war.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
We are now many matches from white Man on time me.
Now I shall stay with my people.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
It's good. You will get will in your mind now.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
The white man medicine make your body will but your
mind sick.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You will be well now.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
There is much good about white man.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
He killed our people.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Not white man at Fort Laramie. It was others. And
it was not our people who were killed. It was
a Chayan. We at peace with white men at for Laramie.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
White man, white man in your.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
In your and soon white man will kill us all.
If we will not make peace with him.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Then we will die brave in battle, not drawn on reservation.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
You will warrior will, But what of women? What of me?
Speaker 9 (21:41):
For many moon dark Elk warn you for his wife,
marry him and have many babies.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I will remain with my people as long as I live,
that I promise. But I will never marry dark Elk
or any other Indian. Another glass of punch, Major, Captain Quinn.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Thank him his devenport on Christmas Eve? Why not take
it well? Merry Christmas, Lee, Merry Christmas. Major.
Speaker 11 (22:40):
There was young Cybers thought the doctor was letting him
out of the hospital at last.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
And he'll be along presently. Major. I have a suggestion
to make, if I may here, go aheadly This has
been a bad winter so far. It looks like it's
going to be worse. The Indians are only bound feel it.
Game is scarce. They haven't the advantages of the treaty supplies.
(23:05):
We were finishing them before they took the war path.
Watch you suggestion, lely call them in for a peace
parley as soon as the snow's melt, say April first.
Maybe we can end this useless bloodshed.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Maybe, but I don't think they'll come. Why not after
that massacre in Kansas last summer. They won't forget. I
can't say as I blame them. Were the tries, and
it's a certainly anything's worth a trying.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Lieutenant, how's the arm?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Doctor says it's gonna be all right, sir.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Lucky he didn't lose it. You should have seen it.
Major arrow cracked the bone, pinned his arm against his side.
As a miracle, he's alive.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
I know those were spotted tails warriors, Lieutenant, Yes, sir,
any idea who got you?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yes, sir, warrior name dark Yelk. He was after my
scalp by shot him.
Speaker 11 (23:52):
That changed your opinion of Indians, Lieutenant, No, sir, they're
a fine race of people.
Speaker 12 (23:57):
Sir, I mean beg pardon, sir, as lieutenant. What is
a party of Indians approaching the poster war party? No, sir,
women and children along with the braves.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Yeah, maybe we'll have a peace partly.
Speaker 11 (24:18):
After all, let's go out and meet him.
Speaker 13 (24:22):
Now, where's Captain Quinch right outside? Sir Major, it's Spotted
Tale and I.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
See it this.
Speaker 9 (24:45):
Greetings, soldiers of the Great Wife Falla.
Speaker 11 (24:50):
Greetings, brave Spotted Taiale.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I come in peace and in sorrow?
Speaker 11 (24:57):
What sorrow is the mighty chief of the Sioux.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
My dough Aapa had gone beyond the sunset to join
the great Spirit.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
She's dead.
Speaker 11 (25:11):
The soldiers of the Great White Father joined in the
sorrow of Spotted Tail.
Speaker 9 (25:15):
The winter was long and cold, there was little to eat.
A fever came to a Wapa and would not leave
her until at last she left me forever. But before
she fell into long sleep, she asked two favors.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
One I can grant, the other I must ask of you.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
And what are those favorites? Spotted Tail?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
She asked me to make peace with a white man.
I have come to make peace.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
It is good, Spotted Tail, And what is the faver
you must ask of me.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
Oh Wapa love white man. Oh Wapa say, if she
cannot be with white man in life, then if she
wished to be with him in death, oh Wapa ask
(26:24):
to be buried for love of me.
Speaker 11 (26:28):
It shall be done. Captain Quin's would you be good
enough to assign a funeral detail full military honors?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Lieutenant Sabits. Lieutenant Sabits, Sir take charge of the detail.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yes, Sir, m HM.

Next Week, another transcribed story of the Northwest Frontier and
the troopers who fought under lee Quin's captain of Cavalry.
Each Monday through Friday evening, CBS Radio wrings you in
on the fabulous adventures of insurance investigator Johnny Dollar. Just
(28:36):
by decoding the cryptic items and his expense account, you'll
learn how a dime spend in a phone booth can
lead to a scene of the wildest suspense. Then on
to a sum spent for an airplane ticket or an
item for a new shoelace, and again you'll find yourself
smack in the middle of a thrill pack situation. Each
new adventure moves the story forward to its dramatic payoff
(28:56):
when Johnny Dollar solves yet another case of arson, fraud
or murdered. Every Monday through Friday night over most of
these same stations. Here yours, truly, Johnny Dollar.
