(00:41):
of the violence that moved west with young America and
the story of a man who moved with it. I'm
that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first man
they look for and the less they want to meet.
It's a chancy job and it makes a man watchful
and a little lonely.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Ah well, here's the water, Doc, it's hot, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Put it down on that chair.

make him live.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
He's bad, hurts her awful, bad hurt.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
But he's so young.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Don't that help?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Being young, bullets and our respects of age. I could
have seen him sooner.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Maybe they sent.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Him home like that, Doc, My boy tied to the
back of his horse like it butchered home.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Hand me that cloth, sir, here it did.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
He was brutal.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Whoever they was, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
He never said who he was seeing. But I know
why they shot him.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh, why because he was through with him.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He told him he wasn't gonna ride with him no more.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Let me let me, Ah, there's the bullet.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
He's coming too dark.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh, let me hello him. Who did this to you?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Uh tell me? Let me don't be afraid. Tell me
who hurts you?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Oh oh, I can't see. Try. Let me try to speak.
Who shot you?
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Ah h h, he's gone, sir.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I'm sorry, Oh, Doc, Maybe if you hadn't been at.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Him, so, Sarah, if you know, I wouldn't hurt your boy.
I've known him since it.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Was a child.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
We should know who did this terrible thing. They should
be made to pay.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
There's no paying for Lemmy.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I know, Sir, I know, but someone's got to answer
for it. I think. Now, are you sure you don't
know who did it?
Speaker 7 (03:42):
No, Doc, I.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Swear I don't. This is one thing Lemmy didn't talk about,
and I know he wasn't proud of it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I know that, and he wanted them this morning to
call it quit.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's what he said. He told me.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
He told me I.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Wouldn't have to worry about his right off normal.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yes, you've just got to believe that he's all right now,
But I'll arrange things in town, sir, I'll be back
in a little while.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
We'll be all right. And tell me.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
It's dark, I'll be all right.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Dark will get set on. It isn't gonna help you
any to tramp back and forth across the floor all
day long.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I guess you all right. But I tell him, man,
it's terrible, sound very pretty. Shot in the back and
sent home tied to his horse, young boy like that.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
You think his mother was telling the true about not
knowing anything about it.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yes, Matt, I do. The boy was evidently time to
get out of some kind of trouble.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
You think he'd been mixed up on something.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yes, that's why it looks to me. He wasn't really
a bad boy, and I figure when he found out
what he was in for, he wanted no part of it.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Whoever it was, he killed him to keep him quiet.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And I think that was it.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Matt. Seems funny though, that, uh, I'd send him home.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
And uh, whoever it was, thought he was dead. It
was barely a sign of life in him when I
got to Yeah, he might have been sent home as
a warning to his mother in case she did know anything.
He could be right, give out a lot to know
who did that?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Well right on out there this afternoon, Doc, whoever it
was will be hard to trace. So with a boy
not saying a word.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And I suppose so I was wished to say, Matt, Yeah, uh,
how would it be? He suppose if the killer thought
the boy did talk?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
What do you mean? I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I suppose the wood get around to the boy had
talked to me that I that I know who the killer.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Is, you'd be a bigger target than a buffalo. No,
I think that you're thinking crazy. Doc. If the killer
got the idea that you know anything, your life wouldn't
be worth a nickel.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It flushed them out, wouldn't it matter?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Well, maybe it would. But if they thought that you
knew about it, they'd kill you.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Maybe if you listen to me, Doc, this is my.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Business, you stick of trying to keep folks alive. You
let me take care of.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The other eliad you'd like to take care of this.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I just forgot it. Doc, You've already done all you
could for Lemmy and his mother. All right out there.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Hold Chester, mister Dillany has been a killing out to
the woods place.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Yeah, Chester, I know, Doc, was there when the boy died.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Oh well, that's a shame, Doc, and nice boy like that.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
It's a terrible ship. How'd you find out about it? Chester?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well, I was passing by mister Jones's story or in
a herd body. I ordered the cough from there.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Man, Oh, I see, malt.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I don't think you'll find much to go on out
the woods place. I looked around, but there weren't any
unusual tracks.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You was doing some tracking?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Well, I mean, i'd be a blood hung like you
were a Chester, but I can read so.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Sorry, Doc, I get my horse with your Chester. Yes, sir,
Uh Doc, you uh year you want to come with me?
Speaker 7 (07:31):
No, Mat, thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I've been there twice today. You tell us I'll drop
by to see her tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
I'll do that, Ah, Doc, Yes, Matt, Why don't you
get any fancy ideas about making up a story. We'll
we'll get this man. You'll make a mistake, they all do.
I just rope I'm around when he does.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yes, Sir, I've seen a lot of killing since I
came to this misbig up in town. But I do
believe this is the worst. Sounds awful, Doc, shooting the
boy in the back. That poor kid didn't even have
no chance to see who'd done it? Oh he saw
who are?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yes, yes, he knew who killed him. I thought you
said he was already out when you got to him.
What he was here? He was, but he roused himself
just before he died enough to say a few words.
Speaker 9 (08:40):
And you heard him that.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I heard him on it? Who done it?
Speaker 7 (08:43):

woods boy.

Was a child.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
We should know who did this terrible thing. They should
be made to pay.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
There's no paying for Lemmy.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I know, Sir, I know, but someone's got to answer
for it. I think. Now, are you sure you don't
know who did it?
Speaker 7 (03:42):
No, Doc, I.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Swear I don't. This is one thing Lemmy didn't talk about,
and I know he wasn't proud of it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I know that, and he wanted them this morning to
call it quit.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's what he said. He told me.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
He told me I.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Wouldn't have to worry about his right off normal.
Speaker 3 (04:02):

any to tramp back and forth across the floor all
day long.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I guess you all right. But I tell him, man,
it's terrible, sound very pretty. Shot in the back and
sent home tied to his horse, young boy like that.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
You think his mother was telling the true about not
knowing anything about it.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yes, Matt, I do. The boy was evidently time to
get out of some kind of trouble.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
You think he'd been mixed up on something.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yes, that's why it looks to me. He wasn't really
a bad boy, and I figure when he found out
what he was in for, he wanted no part of it.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Whoever it was, he killed him to keep him quiet.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And I think that was it.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Matt. Seems funny though, that, uh, I'd send him home.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
And uh, whoever it was, thought he was dead. It
was barely a sign of life in him when I
got to Yeah, he might have been sent home as
a warning to his mother in case she did know anything.
He could be right, give out a lot to know
who did that?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Well right on out there this afternoon, Doc, whoever it
was will be hard to trace. So with a boy
not saying a word.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And I suppose so I was wished to say, Matt, Yeah, uh,
how would it be? He suppose if the killer thought
the boy did talk?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
What do you mean? I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I suppose the wood get around to the boy had
talked to me that I that I know who the killer.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Is, you'd be a bigger target than a buffalo. No,
I think that you're thinking crazy. Doc. If the killer
got the idea that you know anything, your life wouldn't
be worth a nickel.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It flushed them out, wouldn't it matter?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Well, maybe it would. But if they thought that you
knew about it, they'd kill you.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Maybe if you listen to me, Doc, this is my.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Business, you stick of trying to keep folks alive. You
let me take care of.

a herd body. I ordered the cough from there.
Speaker 5 (07:02):

unusual tracks.

Yes, Sir, I've seen a lot of killing since I
came to this misbig up in town. But I do

no chance to see who'd done it? Oh he saw

just before he died enough to say a few words.
