There were some fine rides on my tao.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
That's right.

Speaker 9 (07:21):
At the time we brought him in Coyote, I remember,
I remember seeks many had with him, seeks men and
hidden high in that rock castle.

Yeah, that was quite a right.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
You're right, it was quite a right, you and me
Don Matteo against them all.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
It was a good time.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Yes, a Stevan was a good time.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I wonder, then, how did you come away?

Speaker 9 (07:47):
You come here to Dodge City and become a US marshall.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Stevana as maybe a man finds the time when and
he wants to settle down.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
He cannot be as good as much enjoyment.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
No, it's not as much enjoyment the statement here right there.
But sometimes that's good, not very often, but sometimes.

Speaker 9 (08:23):
I do not understand. But I have come to bring
you the enjoyment again. No, what do you mean, I've
come to ask you to ride with me again. Well,
you're gonna have to tell me more than that.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
It is a simple thing I've come to get.

Speaker 9 (08:39):
A man followed him a long way down my tale,
and I will find him.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
If you ride with me, it would be like the
days we.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Used to have who is the man.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Oh, he's a nothing.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
He doesn't sound like somebody you'd bother to go after.

Speaker 9 (08:54):
Well, you know how it is with the insect, Don Matteo.
It's nothing, but it's bothered and it causes discomfort.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
And if it causes this comfort enough, if it hurts,
you kill it. Well that's the way it is with
this man.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
And what's he done?

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (09:12):
Many things in no sense, like an insect. And finally
he causes this comfort, it causes hurt to Maria, my Maria.
So I've come to get him.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
What's his name?

Speaker 4 (09:31):
They call him Raloh Prale?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Oh yeah, I can believe it. You know him, pah,
I know him well. He is here now, and he
was here a couple of days ago, but I think
he's moved on.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Oh, we will find him.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Look, I don't blame you if I wanted to get
this man, but I can't ride with him.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
They are because he he hasn't done anything.

Speaker 9 (10:01):
To meet a right after him for But he's no good,
He isn't nothing. He he deserves to be killed. I
like an insect that I've just told you, I know,
but that isn't enough of steman a man who's bad
should not leave?

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Maybe so, but I still can't go out with you
after this man.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
I do not understand you.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm sorry a statement. I'll tell you something else you
won't understand. See, I can't let you go after him either.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
What are you saying to me?

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Saying this?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
If you go after this man and if you kill him,
I'll have to come after you. You could come after me
if you kill anybody. That's the way it'll have to be,
because that's the law, ain't He's too bad? Yeah, it's

(11:02):
too bad, a Steven. But you'd better remember what I said.

Speaker 4 (11:07):

That he got the drifter too.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
Well, I'm not sure, marshal, to tell you the truth.
I just started running for the barn. I got on
my horse and I come into town. I didn't do
no looking.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Around, all right, crying sack it.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
But you wouldn't blame a man for looking after yourself first,
would you, Marshall.

him talking. Oh yes, I sure don't want him as
a witness. I'll see where.

Speaker 6 (16:46):

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Grimes fella just took the time to look around a
little bit and see who was shot and who was.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
He was too busy stand out of trouble, just to you.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Sure didn't leave a lot of trouble for us. I'll
say that one.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
I don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
We're paid to take care of trouble.

Speaker 10 (17:03):
I guess you're right. There ain't much of a house,
is it. Somebody built a fire up from there.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
I'll ride up to it.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
Oh, Mattel, who in the world.

Speaker 4 (17:33):

So what is he talking about me?

Speaker 5 (17:47):

It is a good thing, is it not, Matteo?

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, it's good thing.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
I welcome you to shear my fire. You would like
some coffee.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
No thanks.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Stevan's a farmer and the doctor's office back in Dodge.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Who's been shot? This is his place?

Speaker 4 (18:23):
She well, I did not think he would make it
all the way. He was riding so fast, he was
nearly falling from the horse.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
He says, you shot him.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
He was a very frightened man.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Did you shoot him?

Speaker 4 (18:37):
See? I told him to stand still.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
He started to run, so you shot him.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Well, he got in the way on my tail.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, he got no way.

Speaker 9 (18:49):
It is not good to run. You mean, the man
who is nothing? Did you shoot him too? It this possible?
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 4 (19:02):
I mean that he was running too don my tail.

Speaker 9 (19:05):
You don't know if he shot him, not yet, but
I will shoot him that much.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
I know where is he.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
He's out there in the rocks.

Speaker 9 (19:14):
See he's in the rocks, hiding in a cave in
the rocks.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
You figure to get him.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
I do not have to go get him. He will
be coming to me.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Oh, how's that?

Speaker 4 (19:27):
There's no food there the tail? There's no water.

Speaker 9 (19:32):
Even a man who's nothing, who's an insect, must eat.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
And he must drink. Even a man who runs will
come back for.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
That, and he might get you a Steven.

Speaker 9 (19:44):
Oh, I forgot to tell you while he was running.
He's gone. He just happened to drop.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Just happened. You didn't shoot it out of his hand.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Would have to be a very good shot, would he not.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah, I get shot.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
A Stepan. We're gonna bring him out of there.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
You're a good friend, on Matteo, but it would not
be wise for you to interfere.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
It's my job.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
I do not like this job of yours right now.
I don't like it much either. Chester.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
You go on up and get rather out of the cave.
I'll stay here with the Stepan.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
All right.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
I'm surprised that you don't, Matteo.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Don't let it worry you.

Speaker 9 (20:33):
It should worry use. In your marshall, you're forcing me
to shoot your friend.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Chester.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
You know me better than that. You make one move
and I shoot you.

Speaker 9 (20:43):
You would have to be the first one on my teo.
In the old days, you are not always able to
beat me at.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
The draw of the gone.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
I'll take a chance.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
No, then, what it's alright? Chester?

You are the fastest shot. Yeah today, I am. I'm sorry.

Speaker 9 (21:29):
It was my job It's a sad thing for a
job to come between friends, Yes it does. It's a
sad thing to see a friend take a job.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Without the enjoyment.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
He's he's dad. What you don't.

Speaker 2 (21:57):

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
