It's the only man I know, and Dodger's got a
pair like this. All right, I'll see the big gets it.
He'll appreciate your finding. I adopted.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I found a line beside a woman he'd just kicked
to death. Will Thompson and his whole family were wiped
out a few.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Hours ago by four night writers. You know anything about it?
How would I know about it? Your boys call you King.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Rourke, don't They never heard of one up and pulling
anything without being sure you back him up?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Matt. Now you claiming I was in on this.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You're a cattle rancher, been an open range man. You
boys all hate the homesteaders coming in with their plows
and fences, but a lot of fences cut by night writers.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Now it's murdered. You haven't named me yet, Matt.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
A couple of months ago here in the Long Branch,
I heard you say you'd got the homesteaders out of
Ford County if you had to burn him off.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Well, did you?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Sometimes a man gets known as a fast gun.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Slinger and it goes to his head. I asked you
a question, Ben, Then he gets himself a ten star
and goes around bothering. Then if you're figuring to draw
on me don't Why not? Man, I've seen you in action.
You're not fast enough.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
No, I asked you a question, and maybe I don't
feel like what's going on in here?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Nothing?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
There you are, Marshall? How are you?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Marshall?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Once as I hear about.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
An Indian uprising, there's been none that I've heard about.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Whole family massacre the way I hear it, so murdered
and scalped, scalped two of them were so as Indians?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
What game are you playing, Matt.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Indians don't cut fences, Ben, That's a cattleman's trick. Scalping too,
could have been an afterthought. It wasn't an Indian who
lost that spur. I will soon find out about it.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Riding into the Kai will country with troops c tonight.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I hope you won't do that, Colonel Blake.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You know the Kai was there peaceable enough when you
let them alone.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
But if you push a mail fight through enough, Marshall,
we can't let them get away with it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The Indians weren't responsible, Colonel. I got every buttons to
the contrary. Give me twenty four hours and I'll.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Prove it well.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I certainly don't relish stirring up a tribal war.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But just twenty four hours.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Yeah, all right, then you know where Jalisco is. You
better tournament. It'll save trouble. When any of my boys
need discipline, I take care of it.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
Other people are involved.

I had.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
I'll head out again in a few minutes. Oh, this

Thanks Hawkings.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Only trouble is some of us.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Homesteaders are getting kind of impatient. Caval Ranch has been
treating us pretty bad for too long.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Boys are all meeting in my place today. I reckon
I can hold him back till tonight. You know what
I mean, Marshall? Yeah, I saw it.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Happened in Apilene, dirty and bloody. I'd hate to see
it happen here. Sure, I know what you mean?

Range War? Well, not sure. We can pull an inn
close at anytime. Huh.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I'm all finished from the top center, all right, Doc.
It goes pretty fast when you can line them that
way for in row makes a job.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Where you're gonna have bodies lined up twenty in.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
A row ware that you bring in a lot of fees,
I could retire and buy myself a range, sure, doctor,
Well that.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Sounds like Chester Mercy. Yeah, he's been scotting those thickets
along a river.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
But mister Dylon, I brought in Halisco.

Now, my shoe.
Speaker 9 (17:36):
It comes.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Now there's the bullet.
Speaker 11 (17:42):
It'll do Anya, it won't talk. The slugs I dig
out of the bodies all look alike.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Someday though they may figure a way.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
To tell them apart, maybe even tell which gun fired
which bullet.
Speaker 13 (17:55):
Not a chance.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Well it gets us.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
All I can do for the lake lamented.

Somebody made sure of that, all right, and tried to
cover the trail by scalping him.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Well, I can tell you one thing.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It wasn't done by Indians.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
It's my guests too.
Speaker 12 (18:20):
I've seen how Indians do it down in the territory,
up in the dakotas slick and clean, nothing like this.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I could do a better job of my eyes closed.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I bet you could. Where.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yes, I had better get ready for the rush.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Looks like a showdown, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
And I don't see any way that you can stopped.
Speaker 5 (18:44):

Speaker 5 (19:23):
I worked kitty all night. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
It's a bad feeling near matter.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (19:33):

Speaker 5 (19:33):
I wish I knew.
Speaker 14 (19:34):
They call all the soldiers whom see troop back to
Fort Dodge this afternoon. Hi here, they're planning to move
out tonight.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
I hope not.
Speaker 14 (19:41):
There's a lot of homesteaders in here drinking today. That's
unusual for things. What's gonna happen?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Matt?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
The bloodiest mess you've ever seen, And I don't know
any way of stopping it if I don't leave.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Found scope Pete before they killed him. Now I got
nothing to go on.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Let's go. Came in here last night late? Have you gone?
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Oh? Why didn't you let me know?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Whate't time?
Speaker 13 (20:09):
Matt?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
He heard he was wanted, and he left right away.
Speaker 14 (20:11):
It's friends with him?
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Friends? What friends?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I've never seen him before. I think Pete had known
him in the Peko's country.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You're all pretty drunk.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
How many were with him? Kitty three?
Speaker 14 (20:22):
I guess one of them was named Red Dudley, Red Dudley,
and one called himself Tulsa Jim.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
He kept talking about the circle bar.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Might be it might be they could have ridden in
last night ahead of the herd to look up Pete
and then Marshall.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
So you're gonna come on outside here if you want
to stop a lynching, come and.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Do be careful, man, be careful? What is it? Being?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Lord?
Speaker 12 (20:47):
And some of the cattle ranches they caught themselves an
Indian and they're gonna stream him up.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I've dobted.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
We know what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I hope so, Ben, we'll you got here. One of
the murdering skunks had wiped out the Thompson's and the objections.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I might work up some Ben.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
What's your name? Fella? He won't talk to you, hasn't
opened his mouth.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Look, fellow, as an Indian, your reward of the government.
I'm a US marshal. I represent the government. I'm here
to protect you.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Now. What's your name? He talks to us? Work hard,
good man? No kill? What makes him think you did?
They killed people? No kill? He pleads not guilty.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Ben, Sure he does, and maybe he can explain why
we caught him two miles from my ranch house?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Is that reservation?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
What was he doing there?
Speaker 12 (21:41):
Mister rorr Maybe I can tell you what he was doing?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
What Ezra Hawkins, what if you don't.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Mind let me through here?
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Please? We got tired of waiting, Marshall.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
We come on into town.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Maybe that was a mistake, Hawkins.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Maybe you have to play it the way you see it. Look, Muster,
let's have it.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
What's this all about?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
I'm a homesteader, mister Rorke Well, I accept your apology.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Weren't no apology.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I just wanted you to know who those hundred men
across the street were.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
The comes a one hundred time, Well thirty of us
are the odds are bad? What's on your mind?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
This Indian has been working for us, mister Rorke tracking
down fence cutter.
Speaker 13 (22:39):
Maybe that's why you caught him within two miles of
your house.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Got the nerve to come out and say, what your mean, homesteader?
You bet I have fence cutters?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
All right, hold it now you're covered, Ben, and you
two Hawkins. This play's gone far enough.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Not giving a man a chance a dramat not this time.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Ben, all right, ktuks that climb up that horse and
get over here behind me. Move slow and stay out
of the line of fire. Your men either side make
a move. Ben and Hawkins will be the first to
get it. You understand, Doc.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Take us in into your office. Well, Matt, what's the
next step? You can't keep us here with our hands
in the air forever.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I don't intend to. I got one of the murderers
locked up in jail. I want you two to come
along and listen to his statement, but leave the questions
to me all.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Right, it's just fine with me, Marshall to your show.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
Matt good, come on, Chester, Chester looks kind of deserted man.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
He may have gone back to the cells to see yester.
Ben Hawkins.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
What's the matter, Matt here, get that gag off of him.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
You cut the ropes.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
All right, Chester, here.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
We go easy now there?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
What happened Chester?
Speaker 14 (24:07):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (24:07):
They slipped in and got the drop on me, mister
Dylon took Red Dudley with him. There was two of them,
not more than twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Who were they? You know them?
Speaker 7 (24:15):
No circle Barbie boys. I think they slugged me and
thought I was out, but I heard him talking. They
were all in with Pete on the Thompson killing. Yeah,
I know, and they killed Pete too. It was afraid
you'd make him talk.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
The question now is where are they? I know where
they are, Kansas rooms. They ar Kansas and they planned
to hole up there. It got dark. Maybe they've gone,
but now though maybe not.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Want some help man, No thanks, Ben, it's my job
mine a chesters.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Come on, Chester, let's go.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
The room and house is all dark, mister Dillon.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
That doesn't mean a thing. Watch the windows drop behind
that water crof here, use your car behind. It's more accurate.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Yes, all right, Dudley, come on out. You're under arrest,
Come and get it. All the flashes Chester, that came
from the side wind to mister Dillon, and the.
Speaker 1 (25:30):

I'm around somewhere. I guess why.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I'd like to know if he lost his spur recently tonight?
In fact, pretty ain't it? Mexican Silver, little Point, Raul
golden lad.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
It's the only man I know, and Dodger's got a
pair like this. All right, I'll see the big gets it.
He'll appreciate your finding. I adopted.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I found a line beside a woman he'd just kicked
to death. Will Thompson and his whole family were wiped
out a few.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Hours ago by four night writers. You know anything about it?
How would I know about it? Your boys call you King.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Rourke, don't They never heard of one up and pulling
anything without being sure you back him up?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Matt. Now you claiming I was in on this.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You're a cattle rancher, been an open range man. You
boys all hate the homesteaders coming in with their plows
and fences, but a lot of fences cut by night writers.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Now it's murdered. You haven't named me yet, Matt.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
A couple of months ago here in the Long Branch,
I heard you say you'd got the homesteaders out of
Ford County if you had to burn him off.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Well, did you?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Sometimes a man gets known as a fast gun.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Slinger and it goes to his head. I asked you
a question, Ben, Then he gets himself a ten star
and goes around bothering. Then if you're figuring to draw
on me don't Why not? Man, I've seen you in action.
You're not fast enough.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
No, I asked you a question, and maybe I don't
feel like what's going on in here?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Nothing?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
There you are, Marshall? How are you?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Marshall?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Once as I hear about.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
An Indian uprising, there's been none that I've heard about.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Whole family massacre the way I hear it, so murdered
and scalped, scalped two of them were so as Indians?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
What game are you playing, Matt.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Indians don't cut fences, Ben, That's a cattleman's trick. Scalping too,
could have been an afterthought. It wasn't an Indian who
lost that spur. I will soon find out about it.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Riding into the Kai will country with troops c tonight.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I hope you won't do that, Colonel Blake.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You know the Kai was there peaceable enough when you
let them alone.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
But if you push a mail fight through enough, Marshall,
we can't let them get away with it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The Indians weren't responsible, Colonel. I got every buttons to
the contrary. Give me twenty four hours and I'll.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Prove it well.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I certainly don't relish stirring up a tribal war.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But just twenty four hours.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Yeah, all right, then you know where Jalisco is. You
better tournament. It'll save trouble. When any of my boys
need discipline, I take care of it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Not this time.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Other people are involved.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Homesteaders squatting on a measly three d and twenty eight
as a piece, ruining.
Speaker 5 (11:27):

jail here to see if you'd found it. I wish
I had.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
I'll head out again in a few minutes. Oh, this
fella has been waiting for you all morning, mister Dillon.

Thanks Hawkings.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Only trouble is some of us.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Homesteaders are getting kind of impatient. Caval Ranch has been
treating us pretty bad for too long.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Boys are all meeting in my place today. I reckon
I can hold him back till tonight. You know what
I mean, Marshall? Yeah, I saw it.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Happened in Apilene, dirty and bloody. I'd hate to see
it happen here. Sure, I know what you mean?

Range War? Well, not sure. We can pull an inn
close at anytime. Huh.
Speaker 3 (15:23):

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Where you're gonna have bodies lined up twenty in.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
A row ware that you bring in a lot of fees,
I could retire and buy myself a range, sure, doctor,
Well that.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Sounds like Chester Mercy. Yeah, he's been scotting those thickets
along a river.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
But mister Dylon, I brought in Halisco.

Speaker 11 (17:42):
It'll do Anya, it won't talk. The slugs I dig
out of the bodies all look alike.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Someday though they may figure a way.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
To tell them apart, maybe even tell which gun fired
which bullet.
Speaker 13 (17:55):
Not a chance.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Well it gets us.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
All I can do for the lake lamented.

Somebody made sure of that, all right, and tried to
cover the trail by scalping him.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Well, I can tell you one thing.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It wasn't done by Indians.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
It's my guests too.
Speaker 12 (18:20):
I've seen how Indians do it down in the territory,
up in the dakotas slick and clean, nothing like this.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I could do a better job of my eyes closed.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I bet you could. Where.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yes, I had better get ready for the rush.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Looks like a showdown, Marshall.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
I worked kitty all night. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
It's a bad feeling near matter.
Speaker 5 (19:32):

Speaker 5 (19:33):
I wish I knew.
Speaker 14 (19:34):
They call all the soldiers whom see troop back to
Fort Dodge this afternoon. Hi here, they're planning to move
out tonight.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
I hope not.
Speaker 14 (19:41):
There's a lot of homesteaders in here drinking today. That's
unusual for things. What's gonna happen?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Matt?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
The bloodiest mess you've ever seen, And I don't know
any way of stopping it if I don't leave.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Found scope Pete before they killed him. Now I got
nothing to go on.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Let's go. Came in here last night late? Have you gone?
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Oh? Why didn't you let me know?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Whate't time?
Speaker 13 (20:09):
Matt?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
He heard he was wanted, and he left right away.
Speaker 14 (20:11):
It's friends with him?
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Friends? What friends?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I've never seen him before. I think Pete had known
him in the Peko's country.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You're all pretty drunk.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
How many were with him? Kitty three?
Speaker 14 (20:22):
I guess one of them was named Red Dudley, Red Dudley,
and one called himself Tulsa Jim.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
He kept talking about the circle bar.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Might be it might be they could have ridden in
last night ahead of the herd to look up Pete
and then Marshall.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
So you're gonna come on outside here if you want
to stop a lynching, come and.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Do be careful, man, be careful? What is it? Being?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Lord?
Speaker 12 (20:47):
And some of the cattle ranches they caught themselves an
Indian and they're gonna stream him up.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I've dobted.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
We know what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I hope so, Ben, we'll you got here. One of
the murdering skunks had wiped out the Thompson's and the objections.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I might work up some Ben.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
What's your name? Fella? He won't talk to you, hasn't
opened his mouth.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Look, fellow, as an Indian, your reward of the government.
I'm a US marshal. I represent the government. I'm here
to protect you.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Now. What's your name? He talks to us? Work hard,
good man? No kill? What makes him think you did?
They killed people? No kill? He pleads not guilty.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Ben, Sure he does, and maybe he can explain why
we caught him two miles from my ranch house?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Is that reservation?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
What was he doing there?
Speaker 12 (21:41):
Mister rorr Maybe I can tell you what he was doing?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
What Ezra Hawkins, what if you don't.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Mind let me through here?
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Please? We got tired of waiting, Marshall.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
We come on into town.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Maybe that was a mistake, Hawkins.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Maybe you have to play it the way you see it. Look, Muster,
let's have it.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
What's this all about?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
I'm a homesteader, mister Rorke Well, I accept your apology.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Weren't no apology.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I just wanted you to know who those hundred men
across the street were.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
The comes a one hundred time, Well thirty of us
are the odds are bad? What's on your mind?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
This Indian has been working for us, mister Rorke tracking
down fence cutter.
Speaker 13 (22:39):
Maybe that's why you caught him within two miles of
your house.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Got the nerve to come out and say, what your mean, homesteader?
You bet I have fence cutters?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
All right, hold it now you're covered, Ben, and you
two Hawkins. This play's gone far enough.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Not giving a man a chance a dramat not this time.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Ben, all right, ktuks that climb up that horse and
get over here behind me. Move slow and stay out
of the line of fire. Your men either side make
a move. Ben and Hawkins will be the first to
get it. You understand, Doc.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Take us in into your office. Well, Matt, what's the
next step? You can't keep us here with our hands
in the air forever.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I don't intend to. I got one of the murderers
locked up in jail. I want you two to come
along and listen to his statement, but leave the questions
to me all.

No circle Barbie boys. I think they slugged me and
thought I was out, but I heard him talking. They
were all in with Pete on the Thompson killing. Yeah,
I know, and they killed Pete too. It was afraid
you'd make him talk.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
The question now is where are they? I know where
they are, Kansas rooms. They ar Kansas and they planned
to hole up there. It got dark. Maybe they've gone,
but now though maybe not.

Come on, Chester, let's go.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
The room and house is all dark, mister Dillon.
Speaker 1 (25:05):

that water crof here, use your car behind. It's more accurate.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Yes, all right, Dudley, come on out. You're under arrest,
Come and get it. All the flashes Chester, that came
from the side wind to mister Dillon, and the.

up to him. Come on out, Dudley. Well, hurry it up.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
I gotta pull my leg. I can't hurry very fast.
You got me all wrong, wrong, Chester. He started to.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
See if you can find the doctor getting to help
you pack these things over to the jail.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yes, right away.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
And Matt.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
All right, Matt, yeah, yeah, I'm all right. Ben had
a clean sweep and looks that way. Well, bullets are
cheaper than a rope. I guess so, Ben, You and
your boys aren't murderers like Red Dudley. But this business
(26:46):
of fence cutting can lead to a range war two.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Like it or not.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Homesteadings here to stay. There's more robm coming in on
every train.
