Speaker 1 (00:12):
Around Dodge City and in the territory on West. There
is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and the smell of
guns smoke. John will Spoke, starring William Conrad, The story
(00:44):
of the violence that moved west with young America and
the story of a man who moved with it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first
man they look 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 (01:10):
All right, Letty, you mind what I say now.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
You stay down on that bed. I'm looking on you
in a day or so.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
He Oh, sorry, I kept you waiting out here so long, kitty,
But Letty had a lot on her mind.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
That's all right, Doc, kind of nice sitting here with
the evening breeze blowing.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yes, there moves around or out here in a dozen towns,
and that's a fact.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Come on, is lddy gonna be all right?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, Kitty, she isn't.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Oh I'm sorry, it's your own fault. That sounds kind
of heartless, Doc, No.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I mean that she calls me out here to tend
to her when she feels bad.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Then she never pays any attention to what I say.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I'm sure as I'm driving his buggy she's up on
her feet right now. Oh yes, doing some hard shore
around the place, wearing yourself right down into another spell. Oh,
I just do not know how women do it.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Well.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
They'll tell you the work won't get done by itself.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
They tell me that all, but there's not a bit
of sense to it. Waiting a day two to scrub
a floor wouldn't matter.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Not at all, what to a woman, now you see?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh, you're all alike.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Come on, doc, let's not argue our way back to Dodge.
I don't get a chance to ride out on your
calls with you very often. I don't want to spoil
it by having to defend womankind for mankind either.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
For that matter, all right, get either. I'm kind of
sorry we can't stay out a little long.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Yeah, I am too. It's not exactly what fresh in
the long branch these hot nights.

we wouldn't have to hurry.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Back something the matter with hot No, I doubt.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I doubt if there's anything wrong with him that a
little less whiskey wouldn't cure it. But I promised him
i'd look him over when I got back to town.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
He sure does a lot of talking about how good
your doctrine is. You better take good care of him, Doc,
He'll drum me up a lot of business.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, he just needs somebody to tell him every so
often that he hasn't got a fatal disease. Yeah, and
that makes him really good and friendly until the next time.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Well, he's your friend, that's for certain. Doc. Does somebody
standing in the road up ahead? Doctor? It's an Indian?
Speaker 3 (03:47):

He's got a gun.
Speaker 3 (03:57):

beer with Miss Kitty, and Miss Kitty will be there,
cool and comfortable, sitting on a stool. Sam will be

Kiddy, Yeah, Hud Well, I've been in here looking for
you on and off all morning.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I want to know where Doc is, That's what's on
my mind. He was supposed to doctor me last night.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I had to stay with somebody sicker than you are.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Letty Green?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Why there ain't nothing wrong with her to mount anything.
Limb told me she's up and around already, not Letty Green.
He give me his word he'd be here. He ain't
got no right to go back on his word. For
heaven besides or something my strange going on? Moss Grimmick says,
you brung Doc's buggy and yourself. Now, why would Doc
want to go and let you take his bucket?
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I didn't steal it, Hut.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
It don't make no sense. How's Doc going to get back.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
To dog don't you worry about it. He'll get back.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
You bet he will, because I'm going after him.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Must have headed west from.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Limb Greenhut, you just leave things alone, don't worry about Doc.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Well, it appears to me that somebody better worry about him,
leaving him stranded off somewhere.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Is that way I'm gonna fetch you.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Now, wait a minute, Hut, I don't take long extra horse,
I'll bring it back. I listen to me. Hut, Perkins,
don't go medal the things you don't know anything about.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I know enough not to leave Doc out there.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
If you go after him, you can endanger Doc's life
and your own two What do you mean by that?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Just what I say, Doc in some kind of trouble.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
He won't be if you leave him alone.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Sounds like somebody's holding him, forcing him to stay.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Is that the way it is?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Well, I ain't gonna let nothing like that have to Doc.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
He's got plenty of friends in this time. We'll go
break in.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Hey, listen near everybody. It seems to me Old Doc's
in some kind of trouble. We ain't gonna stand for that. Now,
we'll just go get on our horses and go get him.
Come on now, I meet father people in an hour.

Chester got pretty dirty out there, didn't pretty dirty?

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Well?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
A lot of them matter.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Don't make no difference to me.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Not even if it's Indians Indians. I'm moving band of
Indians down the river away. They're holding Doctor Tender, the
chief's son.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Oh that's the way it is.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, that's the way it is. And the sooner as
you turn around and head back to Dodge, the.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Better, Marshall, I ain't afraid of no Indians. We ain't
afraid of no Indians. There were boys.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
If the Indians have old Doc would just breaking loose longer?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Boys, All right, be quiet, all of you now listen
to me. Is there anybody here who thinks he's a
better friend of Doc Adams than I am?
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Well?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Is there?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Then you know that I'm as interested in getting him
out as anybody is.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Let's go get him in.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
For sure, if you're all right out on that Indian
camp you want to be doing Doc of favor, at
least it'll happen, is that you'll get him killed. There'll
probably be an Indian uprising to boot.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The best thing you can do for Doc is to
turn around and go home and let me handle this.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
You figure to take care of it a Loane Marshall.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
If it can be done at all, that's the only
way to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Well, now listen to him, boys, and Marshall thinks he
can do the job better than all of us to get.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Look, I know about these things.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It's my job to know about him. You go on,
you go on back to Dodge, and you take these
men with you.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
You always gotta be the whole show, don't you, Marshall. Well,
I may work in Dodge City, but it don't work
out here.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
You tell me to go back to Dodge.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
You gotta fight on your hands, all right, Hud you
suit yourself.

You ain't giving me.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
No more.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
Want me to get his guns?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Rochester, I think he's throwed.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Now any of the rest of you set on riding
out of that camp, because if you are, you're gonna
have to fight me before you fight on the Indians.
All right, Then pick up Hudd and get him back
to Dodge. Come on, Chester, let's see what we can
do for duc.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Sure must have sauce coming, But now what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, at least they haven't started shooting. Let's leave the
horses here, Chester and walk in the camp. We won't
look so much like the cavalry that way.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
White men stop.
Speaker 9 (21:25):
They saw us. Now all right, all around, we just stand.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Steady, We come in peace. White men wear guns. Our
guns stay covered. Indian guns not covered.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
You reckon, they're gonna shoot.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Chester.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Just don't make any fast moves.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
All right, it's all right. They're friends of mine.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
The two white men are friends of mine. Yeah, it's
all right.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Now, that's all right.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I'll tell you you can put your guns down.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
My gray's a live us doing them inso doing just what.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
He says to Hello, Matt, and just say where you
could be thankful that.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
I was here. I am the but you don't seem
very glad to see us.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And I told Kitty not send anybody after me.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
That's a long story, Doc.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I'm not interested in a long stories, Matt. Now that
you've come there, how do you figure to get me
back to Dodgy? Riding behind one of you two?
Speaker 7 (22:17):
I had to tell you the truth. Doc. We figured
to get you out the best way we could.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
It's a good thing I didn't rely on you to
work things out.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
Are you there?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Bring me my horse?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Doc?
Speaker 9 (22:31):
You mean they'd give you your very own horse to keep.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Why certainly says there that was part of the bargain.
If I cured the boy, I got a horse and
my freedom.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
What about the other part of the bargain, dog, But
if you hadn't cured the boy.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Well that's pretty simple, man. I wouldn't have needed the horse. Oh,
Around Dodge City and in the territory on West. There
is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and the smell of
guns smoke. John will Spoke, starring William Conrad, The story
(00:44):
of the violence that moved west with young America and
the story of a man who moved with it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first
man they look 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 (01:10):
All right, Letty, you mind what I say now.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
You stay down on that bed. I'm looking on you
in a day or so.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
He Oh, sorry, I kept you waiting out here so long, kitty,
But Letty had a lot on her mind.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
That's all right, Doc, kind of nice sitting here with
the evening breeze blowing.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yes, there moves around or out here in a dozen towns,
and that's a fact.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Come on, is lddy gonna be all right?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, Kitty, she isn't.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Oh I'm sorry, it's your own fault. That sounds kind
of heartless, Doc, No.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I mean that she calls me out here to tend
to her when she feels bad.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Then she never pays any attention to what I say.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I'm sure as I'm driving his buggy she's up on
her feet right now. Oh yes, doing some hard shore
around the place, wearing yourself right down into another spell. Oh,
I just do not know how women do it.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Well.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
They'll tell you the work won't get done by itself.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
They tell me that all, but there's not a bit
of sense to it. Waiting a day two to scrub
a floor wouldn't matter.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Not at all, what to a woman, now you see?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh, you're all alike.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Come on, doc, let's not argue our way back to Dodge.
I don't get a chance to ride out on your
calls with you very often. I don't want to spoil
it by having to defend womankind for mankind either.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
For that matter, all right, get either. I'm kind of
sorry we can't stay out a little long.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Yeah, I am too. It's not exactly what fresh in
the long branch these hot nights.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
M Well, if it weren't for that fool hut Perkins,
we wouldn't have to hurry.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Back something the matter with hot No, I doubt.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I doubt if there's anything wrong with him that a
little less whiskey wouldn't cure it. But I promised him
i'd look him over when I got back to town.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
He sure does a lot of talking about how good
your doctrine is. You better take good care of him, Doc,
He'll drum me up a lot of business.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, he just needs somebody to tell him every so
often that he hasn't got a fatal disease. Yeah, and
that makes him really good and friendly until the next time.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Well, he's your friend, that's for certain. Doc. Does somebody
standing in the road up ahead? Doctor? It's an Indian?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I see him, kidding, Just a clime.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
He's not gonna move out of the road.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
He wants us to stop.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
He's got a gun.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, don't be frightened, kidding, Just sit still. Yeah, why
do you stop me? What do you want you?
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Doctor?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yes, I'm the doctor.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
You come.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You want me to come with you?
Speaker 7 (04:17):
Other way?
Speaker 8 (04:18):
You come?
Speaker 5 (04:19):
What does he mean?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
What he means to turn the buggy around and go
back the way we came?
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Other way?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
There's another one duck on a horse back of that tree.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yes, I see him. I expect everybody to do what
they want. I'm sorry, it's so rough kid here, so
(04:51):
mighty an't even grown.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I'll make it fine.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Doctor shich knew where we were going. M How far?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Where do you take us?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Not exactly, Gabby, That's one thing.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I don't feel too talking it myself.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No neither do I. Oh look at that kiddie in
those cottonwoods.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
By the river, Doc, I feel a little sick.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Golly, there's a lot of them. They've set up quite
a camp down there, so we'll be stopping soon. You
just sit straight and quiet, all right, Doc, And don't
be afraid.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
He'll stop.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
I mean they're walking all around us.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Don't show any fear. Is there a chief among you?
Speaker 4 (05:56):

Walk down.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
If I look at your son, little wolf, the woman
here and the buggy, she'll be safe, he will be safe.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
The chief will give his word.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
The little wolf gives his word, I.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Will come here. You just sit quiet, kiddy.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
He'll be all right. The chief means what he says.
I hope so that I won't to belong. All right,

no medicine man with little wolf. Medicine man made of magic.

The boys still sickens. And do you think I can cure?
Little Wolf was prisoner with white men. He saw white
man's magic. Bring strength to fallen soldier.
Speaker 7 (07:25):

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, he lies in there going hum. Yes, I see

Your bargain for the life of my son. I would
bargain for the woman. She is to go free. If
woman goes free, she will bring soldiers. No. Now, I'll
speak to her. I will tell her of your son.
(08:37):
She will not bring the soldiers.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Better she stay here.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I've told you a little wolf.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
She will not bring the soldiers.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Doctor give me his word. The doctor gives his word,

Speaker 9 (09:14):
You know what, you don't pray? Ain't half ugly? This times,

Speaker 7 (09:18):
I don't know how you can see it at all? Chester?
The sun isn't even up yet.
Speaker 3 (09:22):

only trouble is I always get hungry long about the Sunhow.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Hung you wit just an hour ago? Well that I
don't know how you ever made out in the army Chester.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
He wasn't too bad, not working around the supply wagons
like a nun.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
You know, know what do you reckon? More huggins want
for this?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I mean you figure it's important enough that we have
to ride a full day out to his place and back.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Now you didn't have to come, you know, well.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
I know there ain't nothing to do in Dodge except
the whoodl and spit.

Now you could have found dark and told each other
lies for a while.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
On real customer stir out of bed on midday? Oh yes, sir,
he took Miss Kitty with him and the buggy yesterday,
and while he paid some calls, they wasn't even back
when I went to bed. Wasn't no lamp burning in
his place, and Miss Kitty wasn't at the long branch.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I don't leave it off. I want to hurt either
one of them. They work pretty hard, you know.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yes, sir, I suppose to do, but I can't help
thinking that just about the time this old prairie as
hard as a cook oven, Doc will be ambled in
along Front Street on his way to have a noontime
beer with Miss Kitty, and Miss Kitty will be there,
cool and comfortable, sitting on a stool. Sam will be
pouring cool beer into great big picture.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And everybody, Oh, for heaven's sake, Chester, if you're gonna
grumble all the way out to mart Huggins Placier, but
I turn around and start home right now.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
Oh no, sir, I like it. I like it just fine?
Speaker 7 (10:51):

Oh, I waited up quite a scroll for the doctor
to come in. You must have run into a real
bad case out there, someone's.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Real bad case. He's still out there.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Well, I'll fix it for somebody to go out and
fetch him on. Hitch you up a fresh horse. I
didn't send the peters.

Well, you ain't just gonna leave him now out there
to walk home. I am, miss Kitty. Where is Doc anyway?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Don't ask me that, Moss, cause I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You mean you don't know where you have been?
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I mean I can't tell you. Have you seen Matt
this morning?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Why yes, ma'am. He and Chester come got their horses
before center rode out to the Huggin's place. He back
late this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (12:15):

will you ask Matt to come down to the Long Branch.
I want to talk to him right away?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Sure I will, Miss Kitty. Thanks Moss, MS Kitty, you
sure you feel all right?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah? Thanks, I'm a right. You just be sure to

dinner kitty way past noontime?
Speaker 5 (12:48):

His coffee is fine.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
My body should keep her strength time. Oh no, not

that to you all morning. Got me to send him
way kitty.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Kiddy, Yeah, Hud Well, I've been in here looking for
you on and off all morning.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I want to know where Doc is, That's what's on
my mind. He was supposed to doctor me last night.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I had to stay with somebody sicker than you are.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Letty Green?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Why there ain't nothing wrong with her to mount anything.
Limb told me she's up and around already, not Letty Green.
He give me his word he'd be here. He ain't
got no right to go back on his word. For
heaven besides or something my strange going on? Moss Grimmick says,
you brung Doc's buggy and yourself. Now, why would Doc
want to go and let you take his bucket?
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I didn't steal it, Hut.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
It don't make no sense. How's Doc going to get back.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
To dog don't you worry about it. He'll get back.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
You bet he will, because I'm going after him.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Must have headed west from.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Limb Greenhut, you just leave things alone, don't worry about Doc.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Well, it appears to me that somebody better worry about him,
leaving him stranded off somewhere.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Is that way I'm gonna fetch you.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Now, wait a minute, Hut, I don't take long extra horse,
I'll bring it back. I listen to me. Hut, Perkins,
don't go medal the things you don't know anything about.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I know enough not to leave Doc out there.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
If you go after him, you can endanger Doc's life
and your own two What do you mean by that?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Just what I say, Doc in some kind of trouble.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
He won't be if you leave him alone.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Sounds like somebody's holding him, forcing him to stay.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Is that the way it is?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Well, I ain't gonna let nothing like that have to Doc.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
He's got plenty of friends in this time. We'll go
break in.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Hey, listen near everybody. It seems to me Old Doc's
in some kind of trouble. We ain't gonna stand for that. Now,
we'll just go get on our horses and go get him.
Come on now, I meet father people in an hour.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
No wait, hud listen, come back here. You'll get him killed,
your fools, you'll get him killed. Come back here.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
You sure couldn't stop him, kiddy.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
No, Sam, I couldn't. And if Matt doesn't get back,
I guess there's nobody you can.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
All right declare mister, doing a day like to day
could drive a man to take a midweek bath. Yeah,
Chester got pretty dirty out there, didn't pretty dirty?
Speaker 9 (15:20):

Speaker 3 (15:23):
You can tell folks who spent the best part of
the day looking for the three old SIWs.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Well, if they asked me out so yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
And a fine thing for a US mark, we'll be doing.
You really think mort Huggins thought them old soals was stolen?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Sure he thought, uh, Chester, mort Huggins is a good man.
He wouldn't get us out there on on.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
A wild siw chase. Did you hear that Muter Dylan
a wild sow?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Heard it? Chester?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (15:51):

You see, I could have had all I can think
of a better one.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What my picture of you wrote in those mired downs of.
Speaker 7 (16:00):

Wait a minute, hold on, just hold up a minute
to start over again. Now, well you know where is Doc.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
He's in an Indian camp on the river.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
What's he doing there?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
They stopped this and they made Doc stay with him.
The chiefs sons very sick, but they're killing Sure if
that crazy Hud Perkins rides up there with his drunken bunch.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
You mean Hud Perkins is set out to rescue Doc?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, man, but he doesn't know about the Indians.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Well, how's that Doc bargain with.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
The chief If you let me go, I wouldn't tell
about it and send help. So I didn't tell Hud. Oh,
I see, with all this going on, I thought i'd
better tell you. Was that right, Matt?
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Yeah, kiddy, Yeah, you were right, as.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Now, listen, Marshall. I set out to get Doc out
of affection, and I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
To do it.

We'll find him.
Speaker 7 (18:35):

Speaker 4 (18:37):
That don't matter none. I'm gonna get him out of it.
That's all. A good friend like Doc, It don't matter
to me who's holding him?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Well?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
A lot of them matter.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Don't make no difference to me.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Not even if it's Indians Indians. I'm moving band of
Indians down the river away. They're holding Doctor Tender, the
chief's son.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Oh that's the way it is.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, that's the way it is. And the sooner as
you turn around and head back to Dodge, the.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Better, Marshall, I ain't afraid of no Indians. We ain't
afraid of no Indians. There were boys.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
If the Indians have old Doc would just breaking loose longer?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Boys, All right, be quiet, all of you now listen
to me. Is there anybody here who thinks he's a
better friend of Doc Adams than I am?
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Well?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Is there?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Then you know that I'm as interested in getting him
out as anybody is.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Let's go get him in.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
For sure, if you're all right out on that Indian
camp you want to be doing Doc of favor, at
least it'll happen, is that you'll get him killed. There'll
probably be an Indian uprising to boot.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The best thing you can do for Doc is to
turn around and go home and let me handle this.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
You figure to take care of it a Loane Marshall.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
If it can be done at all, that's the only
way to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Well, now listen to him, boys, and Marshall thinks he
can do the job better than all of us to get.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Look, I know about these things.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It's my job to know about him. You go on,
you go on back to Dodge, and you take these
men with you.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
You always gotta be the whole show, don't you, Marshall. Well,
I may work in Dodge City, but it don't work
out here.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
You tell me to go back to Dodge.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
You gotta fight on your hands, all right, Hud you
suit yourself.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
You ain't giving me.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
No more.

Want me to get his guns?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Rochester, I think he's throwed.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Now any of the rest of you set on riding
out of that camp, because if you are, you're gonna
have to fight me before you fight on the Indians.
All right, Then pick up Hudd and get him back
to Dodge. Come on, Chester, let's see what we can
do for duc.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Sure must have sauce coming, But now what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, at least they haven't started shooting. Let's leave the
horses here, Chester and walk in the camp. We won't
look so much like the cavalry that way.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
White men stop.
Speaker 9 (21:25):
They saw us. Now all right, all around, we just stand.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Steady, We come in peace. White men wear guns. Our
guns stay covered. Indian guns not covered.

Speaker 7 (21:40):

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Chester.

all right.
Speaker 4 (21:47):

very glad to see us.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And I told Kitty not send anybody after me.
Speaker 7 (22:06):

you've come there, how do you figure to get me
back to Dodgy? Riding behind one of you two?
Speaker 7 (22:17):
I had to tell you the truth. Doc. We figured
to get you out the best way we could.
Speaker 3 (22:22):

work things out.
