Oh ll maybe sold, but not in her condition clean.
What are you talking about? Well, she's going to have
a baby, Marshall, for the love of it.
Speaker 8 (08:08):

off the jail and not even.
Speaker 3 (08:12):

north wall of the house. Oh, I was aiming to

cut laying up back to the barn. It's mighty hard
on a woman in Medora's condition, with the snow and
the sleek blowing in on it.

had him there and the meta back of the corral,
letting them clean.

Yes, they drifted off, and of course they drifted off
on that storm hit. They turned tail and moved along
with a wind.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Cattle always do that. I guess it don't matter my store.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
The door couldn't take care of him, no, how not hurcandiction.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
But she could have get hold him in a corral
there next to the barn. Oh she'd have to do,
is pushed the hair out of the loft door.

I reckon.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
They drifted down south there about three miles and come
up against the bluffs.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Oh, they'll probably kneel around and freeze to death there.
Storm keeps up about three miles.

Kind of a tall order in the trailing, a five
hour head start.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I don't matter now because I know who he is.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I just said he wore a mask. He did when
I could tell the.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Boy's voice, and he's walked me everything about him. It
was Clint Dody. Clint Dody.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, he's a home headed up the river. I know him,
I know, but I can't believe that Clint's to kind
of do a thing with him, all right, one hundred
worse hand certain, all right, right out in the morning
and bring him in in the morning. If it was him,
he'll be there. What Marshall, Wilber, I'm not gonna ride
twelve miles up that river bottom at midnight with a
blizzard coming up for sixty eight dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Now, we'll leave in the morning. Sun it I probably
(05:06):
heard it fried up. If you don't hell you think so?
You suppose you's gotta hold out of the house, try
to shoot it out.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I thought he's not that tie.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Nobody never thought he was attacked to hold up mister.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Jones neither well Marshall jes sir.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Old Donny are you doddy holding in?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Said? I got some coffee on the store.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, it might warm our hands a little bit.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
Come on, Chester, I reckon, Madora can wrestle up some
eggs in sight? Need to gain alf.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Thanks Tody, But we had breakfast before we left Dodge and.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You can get warm at least. And what you're trying
to do, Marshall got for storm?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I look that way.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
It's been snowing since day breakout here in the river bottoms.
Was that wing blown? It's gonna start drifting.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I probably will just off up.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
What brings you up this way? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You todie me for what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
We're heard of arrest?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You take you back in?
Speaker 9 (06:15):

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Four?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Armed robbery?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Armed robbery? Do you mean that hold up at the
general store? And no?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It seems to travel fast, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
How do you know about it?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well? I don't asked about armed robbery? Oh you know
my wife again? Yeah? Sure, how are you now? Hear
you accuse me? Clan the robbery, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's Moorrow matter of Wilbert Jonas accusing him.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Man, when did this happen, Marshall?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yesterday evening at seven o'clock?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Clan hasn't been away from this place for two days.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And my wife's word might not stand for my china
the circumstances, Madonna, are you calling me alive?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
But do stop that? There's people seeing into on yes, Steve.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Wilbert Jonas claims he's one of them.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Oh the way I hated. The fellow that held him
up was wearing a man. He says he recognized your voice.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Wilbert Jonas couldn't recognize sigh apples to.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Be had a mouthful of them.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I guess that could be something for the judge to
the side.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Man, And you're you're you're gonna take me into jail, but.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You can prove you were somewhere else at seven o'clock
last night.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
That might be kind of hard to do, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And then we better got started and got a hard
ride ahead of Oh no.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
Wait a minute, I can't go off and leave my
doora like this, or with the storm coming.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
On, maybe one of the neighbors could come over to
stay with her.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
There's none closer than five miles Marshall, and they all
got plenty of troubles with.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Their own this time, he is, I ain't even got
enough firewood split it up the last year morning a
day and a half, I was aiming to get some lead.

I'm sure she's made out before.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Oh ll maybe sold, but not in her condition clean.
What are you talking about? Well, she's going to have
a baby, Marshall, for the love of it.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
It's mighty hard on a woman having her man took
off the jail and not even.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Wood in the house to keep warm.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Now, look, you wouldn't take no time at all if
the three of us.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Was to pitch in together, all right, don't they let's.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Well, she's got you some of it to cook with too.
Speaker 2 (09:21):

make other arrangements. Now let's pack it under the shed
and head back for time before that snow got something worse.
Speaker 8 (09:28):
Well, whatever you say, Marc, you must just feel like
taking on some vittles. I got some nice hot.

trail shorter.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Marshal, Well, just look at all that farwood. But I'm

I'll need every stick it too. With this wind driving
the snow in through the north wall of the cabin, goold,
dang it, I clean for gone, forgot what the chicken?
(10:10):
The chicken?
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Who the chicken? The chickens all fell out of the
north wall of the house. Oh, I was aiming to
fix it today. I got a lot of bark slabs
cut laying up back to the barn. It's mighty hard
on a woman in Medora's condition, with the snow and
the sleek blowing in on it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
What would it be all right if we eat first?
Speaker 3 (10:47):

to you.
Speaker 7 (11:07):

duty to do.

You've been so decent putting me get this shape on
the door? Will be all right here, loan, any Loman

Plus put the floods away and get the shirt. It's
going to be dark before we got the dodge.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Sure you sure all right about her having plenty of problems, Marshall,
in her condition and all. And now the cattle gone,
the cattle gone, Oh of course we only had about
twenty head. But with me going to prison, maybe it's
there had been enough to see her through her and
(11:54):
the little what do you mean the cattle gone? I
had him there and the meta back of the corral,
letting them clean.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
What tasture was last?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yes, they drifted off, and of course they drifted off
on that storm hit. They turned tail and moved along
with a wind.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Cattle always do that. I guess it don't matter my store.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
The door couldn't take care of him, no, how not hurcandiction.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
But she could have get hold him in a corral
there next to the barn. Oh she'd have to do,
is pushed the hair out of the loft door.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I reckon.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
They drifted down south there about three miles and come
up against the bluffs.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Oh, they'll probably kneel around and freeze to death there.
Storm keeps up about three miles.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I was aiming to go after him, and of course
one man in the woman wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
