violence that moved west with Young America and the story
of a.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon,
United States Marshal, the first man they looked for and
the last they want to meet. It's a chancy job,
and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Who's that?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh? I don't show open the door. Maybe you'll find out.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Just I never heard nobody knocking on this door before.
Made your hairsh Mister Dylan from Fort Dodge, come.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
In lejor Marshall, Dillon Siddah saida I'll stand, thanks, Marshall.
Last Saturday, two United States Army soldiers were murdered while
driving a supply wagon from here to Fort Dodge. Government
payroll was stolen. You seem to have taken no interest whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
In the matter. Hell, now, Major, protecting the army isn't
exactly my job. The army can protect itself, Marshall. And
how come there were only two soldiers carrying you a payroll?
Where was the rest of your army on maneuvers? On maneuvers?
And my command troops remained in garrison as little as possible,
And you were asking for trouble, Major, knowing there was
(02:41):
a payroll coming in, Marshall, The arrival of the payroll
was secret. Even the two men carrying it didn't know
what it was. Somebody knew, yes, they didn't, Marshall.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I regard this crime as a demonstration of your inability
to control these Dodge city ruffians.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
What I mean it, If.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
No arrests are made in the matter, I'll give these
bad men of yours a taste of martial law.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We will see how they like that.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Now, wait a minute, man will be patrolled twenty four
hours a day.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Look, Major, you don't know these men. You run the
army in here and they'll fight. There'll be trouble, bad trouble.
They brought it on themselves. No, you made a mistake,
and you've got to find somebody to blame it on.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I want whoever committed those murders, and I want that money,
Marshal within a week, and if any more crimes are
committed against the army meantime, we'll take this town over
at once.

Well, he says, they sure aren't anxious to mix it
with all these gunmen and buffalo hunters and the like.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
Huh, but he's not my corporal. Kittie he's just a
lonely kid.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
He's not so lonely. He spends more time here than
he does at the court. How does he manage it anyway?
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Oh? That made him a clerk, a sort of a bookkeeper.
His time's pretty much his own. Well he's lucky.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Uh? Here ohing?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I don't know what it says or anything.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Jenny Lane left Hayes about a month ago. A stranger
called Nate Brand. Nothing against girl, but believe brand the
wild one regards Clint Adams.
Speaker 3 (07:48):

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Uh magic? Yeah? What is it? Doctor trouble? Oh? What
kind of trouble.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
A shooting out behind the Texas Trail.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Why it's bad, man, it's real bad. And a shooting
is always bad, Yes, but this one's gonna lead to
a lot more shooting. Somebody just killed a soldier.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
There he is, you know, landing the weeds over there.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I come. There's no crowd around here. There isn't a
man in sud No. Who told you about this dock?
Speaker 13 (08:40):
The bartender he said he heard a shot and went
out back and found him.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
He sure looks dead, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He's dead? Is that all the bartender had to say?
Speaker 13 (08:55):
That's about all, except that when he went back into
the saloon and tooled.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Everybody there, they didn't move.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Here, And I guess maybe they was thinking about the
army taking over Dodge.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yes, why didn't the bartender come to me first? I
don't know.
Speaker 13 (09:09):
I've got the feeling that maybe nobody knows whether you're
going to be on their side or all the armies,
And they never do trust me?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Do they chester get doc a hand? Here? I'm writing
out to Fort Dodge Marshall. Dyllon allow Major that brings
(09:39):
you to Fort Dodge Marshall? Murder? What murder? A soldier?
Uh huh, Who I don't know, some private Dodge City.
Of course, that's right. Have you arrested the murderer? And
how about they saw it happen? Major, I see, well, Marshall,
you leave me no choice. Wait a minute, Major, I
(09:59):
didn't write out here just to bring you the news.
I want something from you. From me. I want you
to keep all the soldiers out of Dodge for the
next forty eight hours. Put it off limits. That's not
exactly what I had in mind, lesson, Major, Dodge City
is an armed camp. It's full of men who fought Indians,
who fought the war between the states, who fought each
other ever since. They could spit, and they'll fight you next.
(10:21):
That'll make you hate it. They can't fight the army.
They can and I will, and a lot of men
will die on both sides. But I'll make you a deal. Major.
The deal you give me forty eight hours and I'll
find your killers. You better take it because it'll get
you out of a lot of trouble, all right. But
(10:42):
I want the criminals delivered here to me. Sure, but
I might have to kill them to get them here.
(11:06):
Matt oh Man, Hell about doctor, I've been waiting for
you to get back. Oh, anything more happened?
Speaker 13 (11:12):
Not yet, But I found a letter on that soldier.
His name was Ravage anything else? Yes, I dug the
bullet out of than that. And you know something, I
haven't seen lead like that since I mustered.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Out in sixty five. What do you mean, doctor? That
soldier was shot with a cavalry pistol. He was, I'd
swear to it. Thanks, Doc, I'll see you later. Well,
no end of the long branch. I want to talk
to a friend of mine.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
I have been expecting you, mad, have you ago? He
told me about that telegram from Hey City.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Look, Kitty, I gotta work fast. There's gonna be a
war around here soon.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
I found out a couple of matt One is, Jenny's
been seen.
Speaker 10 (12:03):
Riding horseback at night towards the Arkansas down by Brandy Bend.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
It might have something to do with that man she
left his city with, Nate Brand. Yeah, I think he's
hiding out down near Brandy Bend.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Any idea of why.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Purple Stark and Jenny went for a ride one night?
When was that the night before that army payroll was robbed?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:26):

Speaker 6 (12:28):
Well, but jol Monico's Heaven supper.

you for it? But uh, I think you just saved
an awful lot of lives. Evening, Jenny, Hello, Marshall, won't

Speaker 7 (13:03):
Don't be silly. Besides, he's out at the.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
Uh, Corporal Stark didn't shoot him, Marshall. They were good friends.

They worked together in the bookkeeping office.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I see that's a pretty good job, isn't it allan expenses?
Figuring out the payroll? Things like that?
Speaker 13 (13:26):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
I I don't know. He never talked about it much.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Also, he'd be in a good spot to know when
to expect payroll money in, wouldn't he, even when it
was kept secret.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
You'd have to ask Kim Marshall.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
But uh, this isn't why you found me.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Here, is it? No?
Speaker 2 (13:45):

Speaker 2 (15:58):
The idea of a moonlight rise by the river with
his prettier girl as Jenny Lane was fine, except that
it was going to end with a man that either
me or her friend Nate Brand. She was obviously leading
me into an ambush, and there was nothing I could
do but go cheerfully along. I met her the next night.
(16:19):
We started out, but a mile or so before we
got to brandy Ben I pulled up and suggested we
dismount and let the horses blow a little. It won't
run away, will the horses? No, I don't worry. Ah,
here's a good place to since that's the matter. You're nervous, Jenny, Oh,
(16:48):
of course not. I sit down and take it easy.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Then all right, m miss better sure.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Ya. That's a nice night, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You're not even looking at it. It's I'm on your mind, Jenny, No, I.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Should there be? Why you tell me that's nothing? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Really, let me ask you something, Jenny, did you ever
see a man killed?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
What? Who'd you say that?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
What did you?
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yeah? I once in a saloon?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I tell me. Did he have a fair chance?
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Of course? He even drew first.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And you never saw a man shot in the back
or ambushed.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Why are you driving at Marshall?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Oh, I'm just thinking about people, Jenny, Like, sometimes a
person isn't really bad, he just falls into bad company.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
What they gotta do with me?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And I think it sort of cause against your grain,
the idea of a man being killed without a fair chance.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Why'd you come with me? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Uh, somebody had to.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
I suppose you know about everything.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think Private Ravage got killed by Corporal Stark because
he found out about the payroll deal between you and
Stark and Nate Brand.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Sure, well, what are you gonna do now?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Gonna ride the Brandy Bend with you?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Why?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Because I'm gambling that you're still decent enough inside and
let me have that fair chance I was talking about.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
That's quite a gamble, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, but we'll ride slow and you'll have a little
time to think about it.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
D Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'd make a nice camp down here, plenty of wood,
get your water right out of the river there. It's
real nice. Don't you think Jenny Man could hide out
real easy down here?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Marshall?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I could be safe here even while the army was
trying to move into dodge and a lot of men
were being killed over it. Yeah, it's real peaceful down.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Here, Marshall. I can't do it, all right, tell me,
Jenny that big Totton would up ahead on the left, Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I keep moving when we get close, I'm gonna ride
ahead fast. You stay back out of gunfire, all right. Yeah,
sure is pretty down here, Jenny. Maybe someday we can
come down go fishing. Huh. This river's full of catfish.
You ever eat a real catfish dinner? That can be
mighty good if you're small enough. Alright, stay back, Kenny, Jenny, Jenny,
(20:32):
he's dead, Jenny. No I had to do it.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
I No, I'll be alright, Marshall. Sure he killed your horse.
I'll show you where he hid his and the payroll money.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Okay, Jenny.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Then you can take me back to jail.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah. But there's one thing, Jenny. What you did to
night is gonna get you out of jail real soon,
because I'm gonna see you get your chance too. And

Huh.

It's his army business. Everybody's talking about. Will it be bad? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That could be.

You think it'll.

Happen, might, especially if there's any more trouble.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Say, Jenny, has your corporal been in?

Well, how do the soldiers feel about all this?
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Huh?
Speaker 8 (04:28):
Well, he says, they sure aren't anxious to mix it
with all these gunmen and buffalo hunters and the like.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
Huh, but he's not my corporal. Kittie he's just a
lonely kid.
Speaker 6 (04:38):

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Uh? Here ohing?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I don't know what it says or anything.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Jenny Lane left Hayes about a month ago. A stranger
called Nate Brand. Nothing against girl, but believe brand the
wild one regards Clint Adams.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I never heard of no Nate Brand now, neither of I.
What you doing hiding him somewhere?
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Uh magic? Yeah? What is it? Doctor trouble? Oh? What
kind of trouble.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
A shooting out behind the Texas Trail.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Why it's bad, man, it's real bad. And a shooting
is always bad, Yes, but this one's gonna lead to
a lot more shooting. Somebody just killed a soldier.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
There he is, you know, landing the weeds over there.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I come. There's no crowd around here. There isn't a
man in sud No. Who told you about this dock?
Speaker 13 (08:40):
The bartender he said he heard a shot and went
out back and found him.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
He sure looks dead, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He's dead? Is that all the bartender had to say?
Speaker 13 (08:55):
That's about all, except that when he went back into
the saloon and tooled.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Everybody there, they didn't move.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Here, And I guess maybe they was thinking about the
army taking over Dodge.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yes, why didn't the bartender come to me first? I
don't know.
Speaker 13 (09:09):
I've got the feeling that maybe nobody knows whether you're
going to be on their side or all the armies,
And they never do trust me?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Do they chester get doc a hand? Here? I'm writing
out to Fort Dodge Marshall. Dyllon allow Major that brings
(09:39):
you to Fort Dodge Marshall? Murder? What murder? A soldier?
Uh huh, Who I don't know, some private Dodge City.
Of course, that's right. Have you arrested the murderer? And
how about they saw it happen? Major, I see, well, Marshall,
you leave me no choice. Wait a minute, Major, I
(09:59):
didn't write out here just to bring you the news.
I want something from you. From me. I want you
to keep all the soldiers out of Dodge for the
next forty eight hours. Put it off limits. That's not
exactly what I had in mind, lesson, Major, Dodge City
is an armed camp. It's full of men who fought Indians,
who fought the war between the states, who fought each
other ever since. They could spit, and they'll fight you next.
(10:21):
That'll make you hate it. They can't fight the army.
They can and I will, and a lot of men
will die on both sides. But I'll make you a deal. Major.
The deal you give me forty eight hours and I'll
find your killers. You better take it because it'll get
you out of a lot of trouble, all right. But
(10:42):
I want the criminals delivered here to me. Sure, but
I might have to kill them to get them here.
(11:06):
Matt oh Man, Hell about doctor, I've been waiting for
you to get back. Oh, anything more happened?
Speaker 13 (11:12):
Not yet, But I found a letter on that soldier.
His name was Ravage anything else? Yes, I dug the
bullet out of than that. And you know something, I
haven't seen lead like that since I mustered.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Out in sixty five. What do you mean, doctor? That
soldier was shot with a cavalry pistol. He was, I'd
swear to it. Thanks, Doc, I'll see you later. Well,
no end of the long branch. I want to talk
to a friend of mine.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
I have been expecting you, mad, have you ago? He
told me about that telegram from Hey City.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Look, Kitty, I gotta work fast. There's gonna be a
war around here soon.
Speaker 6 (11:58):

been seen.
Speaker 10 (12:03):
Riding horseback at night towards the Arkansas down by Brandy Bend.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
It might have something to do with that man she
left his city with, Nate Brand. Yeah, I think he's
hiding out down near Brandy Bend.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Any idea of why.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Purple Stark and Jenny went for a ride one night?
When was that the night before that army payroll was robbed?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:26):

Speaker 6 (12:28):
Well, but jol Monico's Heaven supper.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
Uh, Corporal Stark didn't shoot him, Marshall. They were good friends.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
They worked together in the bookkeeping office.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I see that's a pretty good job, isn't it allan expenses?
Figuring out the payroll? Things like that?
Speaker 13 (13:26):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
I I don't know. He never talked about it much.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Also, he'd be in a good spot to know when
to expect payroll money in, wouldn't he, even when it
was kept secret.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
You'd have to ask Kim Marshall.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
But uh, this isn't why you found me.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Here, is it? No?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Of course not, Jenny. I'm sorry. Yeah, you look real
pretty tonight.

can get off tomorrow. I know it's bold on me,
but couldn't we maybe take a ride together.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
The idea of a moonlight rise by the river with
his prettier girl as Jenny Lane was fine, except that
it was going to end with a man that either
me or her friend Nate Brand. She was obviously leading
me into an ambush, and there was nothing I could
do but go cheerfully along. I met her the next night.
(16:19):
We started out, but a mile or so before we
got to brandy Ben I pulled up and suggested we
dismount and let the horses blow a little. It won't
run away, will the horses? No, I don't worry. Ah,
here's a good place to since that's the matter. You're nervous, Jenny, Oh,
(16:48):
of course not. I sit down and take it easy.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Then all right, m miss better sure.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Ya. That's a nice night, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You're not even looking at it. It's I'm on your mind, Jenny, No, I.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Should there be? Why you tell me that's nothing? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Really, let me ask you something, Jenny, did you ever
see a man killed?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
What? Who'd you say that?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
What did you?
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yeah? I once in a saloon?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I tell me. Did he have a fair chance?
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Of course? He even drew first.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And you never saw a man shot in the back
or ambushed.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Why are you driving at Marshall?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Oh, I'm just thinking about people, Jenny, Like, sometimes a
person isn't really bad, he just falls into bad company.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
What they gotta do with me?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And I think it sort of cause against your grain,
the idea of a man being killed without a fair chance.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Why'd you come with me? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Uh, somebody had to.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
I suppose you know about everything.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think Private Ravage got killed by Corporal Stark because
he found out about the payroll deal between you and
Stark and Nate Brand.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Sure, well, what are you gonna do now?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Gonna ride the Brandy Bend with you?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Why?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Because I'm gambling that you're still decent enough inside and
let me have that fair chance I was talking about.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
That's quite a gamble, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, but we'll ride slow and you'll have a little
time to think about it.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
D Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'd make a nice camp down here, plenty of wood,
get your water right out of the river there. It's
real nice. Don't you think Jenny Man could hide out
real easy down here?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Marshall?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I could be safe here even while the army was
trying to move into dodge and a lot of men
were being killed over it. Yeah, it's real peaceful down.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Here, Marshall. I can't do it, all right, tell me,
Jenny that big Totton would up ahead on the left, Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I keep moving when we get close, I'm gonna ride
ahead fast. You stay back out of gunfire, all right. Yeah,
sure is pretty down here, Jenny. Maybe someday we can
come down go fishing. Huh. This river's full of catfish.
You ever eat a real catfish dinner? That can be
mighty good if you're small enough. Alright, stay back, Kenny, Jenny, Jenny,
(20:32):
he's dead, Jenny. No I had to do it.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
I No, I'll be alright, Marshall. Sure he killed your horse.
I'll show you where he hid his and the payroll money.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Okay, Jenny.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Then you can take me back to jail.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah. But there's one thing, Jenny. What you did to
night is gonna get you out of jail real soon,
because I'm gonna see you get your chance too. And
(21:38):
