You've been hurt worse than us a dozen times.
Speaker 7 (08:52):

Look, if you duck in the alley, you were probably.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Facing the street, weren't you. Yes, it was I don't
let Better wouldn't have been behind you. A bullet entered
from it.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
It was him, I tell you.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Or the wild bullet from those cowboys.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You think I'm lying, and I think you're worrying yourself
into saying.
Speaker 4 (09:08):

Speaker 6 (10:06):
Woke me up. And Chester says you tried to shoot
him a few minutes ago.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
He say, now, Marshall, I'm getting sick and tired of
his gesture.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
What's he trying to do? Anyway? He is pretty certain
about it, bound and determined to get me into trouble.
I dog gone if I know why. There must be
some reason for sure.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
If there is, I don't know it, I'll be glad
when I find me a job and get shut.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Of this town.
Speaker 10 (10:32):
Never did hear nothing good about dog anyway?
Speaker 6 (10:34):

Ain't enough good men left act the jewelry to try
the battle one?
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Uh huh?
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Just where did I say that?

Speaker 8 (10:59):
And life of County.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Well, that may be Marshall, and I heard it in
Lambilla night.
Speaker 10 (11:04):
That's possible. Yeah, I guess it is Marshall listening here.
If I come here to kill a man?
Speaker 6 (11:13):
What if I be waiting around for or change your weather?
It don't make sense.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Does it?
Speaker 11 (11:21):
No?
Speaker 8 (11:22):
No, it doesn't make sense any part of it.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
How does that luck do?
Speaker 13 (11:48):
What?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Just a scratch man? Scratch?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I suppose if I come in here scalped, you'd say
the barber just give me too tight a haircut, just
to be brave.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
There we are in a week. You'll never know. You
got to hit you. Now, there's a mercy. It wasn't
my gun arm test.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
I told you. I Letbetter was in his room the
whole time.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
You mean he told you.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
I asked the desk clerk on the way out, and
he was.
Speaker 13 (12:16):
Lying to Chester, how long since you've had a good
night's sleep?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Now, Doc, don't you start now?
Speaker 13 (12:21):
Well, you admit you didn't actually see lead Better in
that alley, But next time.

or not? Have you finished? Doctor? In my wound?

Speaker 8 (12:43):
He'll get over at doctor.
Speaker 10 (12:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (12:46):
The only thing I can figure it is that he's
got this lead better mixed up with somebody else. But
it'd certainly help if he'd say why he thinks he's accent?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Because right?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, come over?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Hit the window? Right?

You're gonna let him shoot at you, so as he'd
wake me up and I'd have a chance at him.
I guess I was kindly wrong about you being again me.

You know it might have helped things if you had
told me why. A lot better was after your chesting.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
I just couldn't miss you doing. Oh why it had
to do with a lady.

ask your dealer for Chesterfields by the carton.

that causes all the trouble.

You're the one who needs a vacation, not Chester.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Oh, but you're a rich woman, kiddy.
Speaker 3 (07:50):

Speaker 6 (07:56):
Oh, that's what he says.
Speaker 4 (07:58):

Speaker 14 (08:00):
A thing like that.
Speaker 15 (08:02):
Matt, you say, no, I'm going with him, You're going
after him. It's Chester, Matt down about the alley.

He shot me one of those cowboys. No, he's a
lead Better.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
What I seen them cussin cowboys coming. So I ducked
the alley here and led Better was down to the end
of it, just waiting for me. And I think he
just hired them fellows to set up a commotion truce.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
He could get a shot at here. Let me see
that arm.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
The bullet went right in here. If you're doing it,
didn't break nothing.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Chester.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
You've been hurt worse than us a dozen times.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Now.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Look, if you duck in the alley, you were probably.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Facing the street, weren't you. Yes, it was I don't
let Better wouldn't have been behind you. A bullet entered
from it.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
It was him, I tell you.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Or the wild bullet from those cowboys.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You think I'm lying, and I think you're worrying yourself
into saying.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Things, I'm going up to dogs if I can.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
I'll wait a minute. Where's love better staying well?

I've been taking a nap, Marsham up until the drunks
out there.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Woke me up. And Chester says you tried to shoot
him a few minutes ago.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
He say, now, Marshall, I'm getting sick and tired of
his gesture.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
What's he trying to do? Anyway? He is pretty certain
about it, bound and determined to get me into trouble.
I dog gone if I know why. There must be
some reason for sure.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
If there is, I don't know it, I'll be glad
when I find me a job and get shut.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Of this town.
Speaker 10 (10:32):
Never did hear nothing good about dog anyway?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
We'd try to keep it. They small, Sure, But it's
like you say, probably.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
Ain't enough good men left act the jewelry to try
the battle one?
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Uh huh?
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Just where did I say that?
Speaker 9 (10:48):

Speaker 6 (10:50):
Ooh I don't know you heard it before. Inch, Yeah,
I've heard it before. It's just saying down in South Texas.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
And life of County.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Well, that may be Marshall, and I heard it in
Lambilla night.
Speaker 10 (11:04):
That's possible. Yeah, I guess it is Marshall listening here.
If I come here to kill a man?
Speaker 6 (11:13):
What if I be waiting around for or change your weather?
It don't make sense.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Does it?
Speaker 11 (11:21):
No?
Speaker 8 (11:22):
No, it doesn't make sense any part of it.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
How does that luck do?
Speaker 13 (11:48):
What?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Just a scratch man? Scratch?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I suppose if I come in here scalped, you'd say
the barber just give me too tight a haircut, just
to be brave.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
There we are in a week. You'll never know. You
got to hit you. Now, there's a mercy. It wasn't
my gun arm test.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
I told you. I Letbetter was in his room the
whole time.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
You mean he told you.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
I asked the desk clerk on the way out, and
he was.
Speaker 13 (12:16):
Lying to Chester, how long since you've had a good
night's sleep?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Now, Doc, don't you start now?

Speaker 8 (12:43):
He'll get over at doctor.
Speaker 10 (12:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (12:46):
The only thing I can figure it is that he's
got this lead better mixed up with somebody else. But
it'd certainly help if he'd say why he thinks he's accent?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Because right?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, come over?
Speaker 4 (13:00):

You're gonna let him shoot at you, so as he'd
wake me up and I'd have a chance at him.
I guess I was kindly wrong about you being again me.

told me why. A lot better was after your chesting.

I just couldn't miss you doing. Oh why it had
to do with a lady.

In a moment Our star William Conrad vacation coming up soon.
Here is how to pack more pleasure. Make sure you
have a couple of cartons of Chesterfields in your suitcase
or in your car's glove compartment. A touch tells you
Chesterfields are firm, packed full. Your taste tells you they
(22:12):
satisfy the most. So when you do your vacation shopping,
ask your dealer for Chesterfields by the carton.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
You know, the early frontier years were lusty and brawling,
and men happily fought each other as a matter of course.
But next week it's the man who refuses to fight
that causes all the trouble.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
And that was the West. Good Night.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
