It's a chancy job, and it makes a man watchful
and a little lonely.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Mister Dylan, mister Dyllan, Yeah, what is it?

Speaker 20 (14:25):
Chester?

Speaker 3 (14:26):

I didn't know you was sleeping.

Down some innocent citizens.

Speaker 19 (15:06):
Life Tugwell, I'll try.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
I'd know that long sad face any words, his hair
and Mike Gray. But it's him, right enough, mister Doon.

Speaker 19 (15:15):
He always did look like an undertecker the order.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
He's buried enough man.

Speaker 19 (15:20):
I maybe, but at least he never went looking for trouble.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
You always managed to find it without looking. I don't
like no part of him.

Speaker 13 (15:26):
Mister Dian, and I'll go have a talk with him.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Where is he He went up to DC's office and
fires you.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
When he comes out, i'd tell him to keep right
on going all the way back to Texas.

Speaker 19 (15:37):
I've known Leafe Tuglell a long time Chester. I know
him when he helped clean up Son and Ton, and
they're mighty proud of him down there. He's no cheap
gunman to be told to get out of town.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
All right, Then ask him to leave, because if you don't,
mister Dillon, they'll be trouble as sure as shooting.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Dylan.

Speaker 19 (16:14):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh match you old son of a guy. Hello, life,

Never mind, Chester, Why don't you go out over to
the Long Branch and have a beer.

Well, it's not so much sad life. You guys doesn't
like trouble at all.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Neither do I, but you think I do.

you're here in Dodge.

I won't start anything.

Speaker 19 (17:07):
Matt a good, then we won't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
We it'd be quite a show. You and me could
almost charge admission.

Speaker 19 (17:16):
How maybe you could life, but one of us would
be winding up using his cut for a burial. And
come on, how are you beer?

Speaker 1 (17:26):
I don't think so.

Speaker 19 (17:26):
Met No, Now, who's getting feisty?

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Look I carry a gun. Sure, I'm a little faster
than the next. It's because I've had to be. I
never killed a man who wasn't trying to kill me first?
Is that against the law?

Speaker 1 (17:42):
And dodge.

No it isn't. But we got a big population up

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Hello kiddy, from that I didn't see you come in.

Speaker 19 (19:50):
Huh that's probably because you weren't looking.

Speaker 22 (19:54):
No, after all, what do I care about who comes
in here? As long as I got money to spend,
you can be more friend my friends, Thank heaven, most
of our customers aren't.

Speaker 19 (20:05):
Oh I tickets. You're not feeling very kindly toward people
tonight not very.

Speaker 22 (20:12):
Maybe it's just because I get sick of men stalking
one another like wolves, bearing their teeth, hating one another.
What could they sing and live and dance once in
a while.

Speaker 19 (20:22):
What they do and you know it not to night?
They don't. Are you thinking of somebody in particular?

Speaker 22 (20:29):
Well, that one doesn't help. Oh that fell at the bar,
the one with a face like a hone dog. Look
at the space on each side of and you'd think
it was poison.

Speaker 19 (20:41):
He is kidding. That's a leafe Tugwell.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Oh, he seems quiet enough for a man with his reputation.

Speaker 19 (20:50):
And that's his reputation. I'm worried about. Ever would be
gunman and Kansas that'd like to be able to say
that he'd taken the leafe tuggle.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Oholmes, kitty, mister doone.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
There's young fellow over at the aleph again, is talking
pretty big and it's all about leaf Tugwell, what does
he look like?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Small stock? He got a real mean mouth.

Speaker 19 (21:11):
Honey, I better go calmhim. Donald, Wait a minute, you.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Won't have to let him just come in there. That
one looking around like he's gonna buy the place.

Speaker 23 (21:21):
Well, he can't be over eighteen.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
They're the worst kind kiddy, the young ones trying to
make a fast name for themselves, drink sad fellow bartender,
woman's gray hair, standing around, folks staying around. I suppose
you all didn't know there was a famous man here tonight.

(21:44):
You're gonna drink with me, Dougwell.

Speaker 20 (21:48):
And Son.

Speaker 19 (21:50):
I don't think mister Tugwell wants to drink with you.

Speaker 24 (21:54):
You standing up for him, Marshall, I can handle this.
Matt calls you are your first name, must be. He's
a friend of your.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Maybe as long as we're bandy and names about, you'll
tell me your name. It's Gore, Trace Gore, and I'm
from Texas. Tugwell knows all about Texas. That's where he's
running from.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
I never ran away from anything in my life, Gore,
So that makes you a liar?

Speaker 19 (22:24):
All right, give me that gun, Gore.

Speaker 24 (22:26):
I came a long way to kill him.

Speaker 19 (22:28):
I said, give it all right, now, you get out
of here.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
I sure never thought i'd see the day when any
lawman's badge it'd be big enough for Lafe Tugwell to
hide behind.

Speaker 19 (22:42):
Chester sure got him out of here. Here's his gun.
You can give it back to him. Outside.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Come on, boy, let's go on.

Speaker 24 (22:49):
Get you here.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
You shouldn't have done that, Matt. You'll just go screw
up his curve another notch.

Speaker 19 (23:02):
What do you want here in Dodge?

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Leaf, you're getting ready to tell me to leave.

Speaker 19 (23:07):
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
In away.

Speaker 19 (23:10):
You and I are sort of brothers under the skin.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Where what you were?

Speaker 19 (23:15):
A Marshall and son and tone? Leaf? Why don't you
make my job easier for me?

Speaker 3 (23:22):
I'll tell you something, Matt. A man gets tired of
running from a lot of would be gunmen that ain't
dry behind the ears. This ain't the first time Gore
has tried it on with me. Give mean, he follows
your here all the way from Sweetwater. I pinned his
ears back with a bottle down there. This time it
will have to be with a forty five hat. You're
forgetting something?

Speaker 19 (23:42):
Leaf?

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (23:44):
What about stirring clear of the trouble on your here? Doc? Hey,

(24:13):
Doc the backroom, Mat, I saw your light.

Speaker 25 (24:21):
Doc.

Speaker 20 (24:22):
Oh, I'm glad you came up.

Speaker 26 (24:23):
And I've been alone here watching these test tubes last
six hours.

Speaker 19 (24:27):
Huh. It looks like blood.

Speaker 26 (24:28):
It is probably the easiest blood ever drawn in Dodge.

Speaker 19 (24:33):
He was willing who was it?

Speaker 20 (24:35):
And Man, I don't ask you who got picked up
for being drunk on front street.

Speaker 19 (24:40):
Okay, Doc, I'm sorry. What I really came to see
about was Lafe Tugwell.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
What about him?

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Now you've known him a long time, Doc, I want
you to help me talk him into leaving Dodge. You'll
be leaving tomorrow, Man, Well, I want him out before
he has to kill a man, and tomorrow may be
too late.

Speaker 26 (25:00):
I promised Lafe a while ago I wouldn't discuss this,
but under the circumstances, I I better tell you.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's his blood and those tubes. He can't hold a gun,
much less pull the trigger.

Speaker 21 (25:13):
What.

Speaker 26 (25:14):
There's no cure for the disease Leafe has. Nobody even
knows what causes it. The nervous system goes to pieces,
and so does the muscle control.

Speaker 19 (25:26):
Oh I didn't he tell me?

Speaker 26 (25:27):
I'll put yourself in a life spot. He was a
big man once. Weakness doesn't come easy to that kind.

Speaker 19 (25:35):
Yeah, I guess you're right, Doc, that probably would have
done the same thing.

Speaker 26 (25:40):
Well, anyway, I got no cause to worry about leaif
Tugwell killing.

Speaker 19 (25:44):
Anybody, No, Doc, what about his getting killed?

Speaker 22 (26:13):
Uh?

Speaker 19 (26:14):
Chester m hey Chester me, oh my man. Look, uh Chester,
there's no sense in both of us keeping a night watch.
Why don't you go get some sleep?

Speaker 27 (26:24):
Uh well, I tried too much, but I sh keep
thinking of the way I treated Leaf Tugwell, you know
what I'm gonna do, Oh what, I'm going over to
his hotel first thing in the morning and apologize.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
He was mighty patient with Gore.

Speaker 19 (26:41):
He was patient because they had to be Chester had to.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Be ever morment you're doing. They've could have hit that young.

Speaker 19 (26:48):
Pool for supper, could have maybe, but not none. He's
a sick man Chester. He can't even use a gun anymore.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
He tell you that.

Speaker 19 (26:58):
No, but Doc didn't.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
That's why Leaf came to Dodge. He figured maybe Doc
could help him.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Why the same hill didn't he say something?

Speaker 19 (27:05):
And all he's got left as his pride chess him
and the man becomes a legend. He wants to keep
it that way. I guess, free yourself of old fashioned ideas.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Why don't you have modern, modern.

Speaker 8 (27:43):
Modder, free freshen up your taste smoking and M? Why
are more people changing to L and M than to
any other cigarette? Because only ellen M lets you enjoy

Speaker 19 (29:07):
Ye oh, what is it?

Speaker 20 (29:08):
God?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
That hotel across the street, that's where Leif Tugwell stand.

Speaker 19 (29:14):
Oh is it?

Speaker 20 (29:16):
Nah?

Speaker 24 (29:16):
You know it is Marshall. And I know he's gonna
come out sometime. Did you hear what he'd done to me?

Speaker 19 (29:24):
He said something about it.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
He shamed me, hit me with a bottle right in
front of the whole town of Sweetwater.

Speaker 19 (29:31):
You only did it to keep from killing your son.

Speaker 24 (29:34):
You got it wrong, Marshall. It's me he's gonna kill him.

Speaker 19 (29:41):
Why don't you go back to Texas? God?

many lies around a campfire. You got no hair on
your face, but you'll blow yourself up to the size
of a man.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
You got no call talking to me this way.

Speaker 19 (29:56):
Go shut up and listen.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Being cock of the walk isn't all you've got to
figure to be. You talk a lot about killing, but
there's being killed too, and you're dead a long time.

Speaker 24 (30:11):
Is that all, Marshall?

Speaker 19 (30:14):
Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 24 (30:16):
I think. I'll go get me a drink, Johnny.

Speaker 19 (30:20):
No thanks, I'm superstitious, mister Dylan, mister Dylan, Yeah, what
is it?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Chesty?

Speaker 12 (30:38):
You better come quick.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
They're out in front of the long branch line leaf
and that can pull a gore. They're picking and have
a showdown.

Speaker 19 (30:44):
Laife knows he can't pull a gun.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Well, he don't act like how you gonna stop him.

Speaker 19 (30:49):
That's gore. I'm gonna stop. Laife doesn't need stopping here.
You wait here, chesting, Yes, all right, Lafe.

Speaker 13 (31:01):
Stay out of this man.

Speaker 24 (31:04):
It'd be self defense on both sides. No load against
that is I Marshall?

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Now there isn't son, You know life. This kind of
reminds me of the time you kill those three men
in Abilene. That's the fastest draw I ever saw.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I told you to stay out of this man. You're
too far away.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Gore never hit a man from there, you're gonna fight.
Come a little closer, I'll call my own handling.

Speaker 19 (31:31):
Trouble with these youngsters is they get nervous? Life? Worst
thing that can happen in a gunfight.

Speaker 24 (31:38):
Son, I ain't nervous, Marshall.

Speaker 19 (31:39):
Why you don't have to be ashamed of it. There
aren't many amateurs like you could face a man like
leaf Tuggle without their hands sweating. Give the boys chance, mate,
that's what I'd like to see him have life. I
look at him. The boy's hands are starting to twitch
right now. He's getting scared, Leife.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
I ain't scared. And then come on, son, let's get
this over with.

Speaker 19 (32:04):
Son. Sometimes they die slow and hard. A bullet makes
a big hole in a man's inside that can churn
him up bed. Now, why don't you stay out of it? Son?

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Why don't you clear out? Why don't you get on
your horse and go on back to Texas? Huh, you've
got a lot of living ahead of you.

Speaker 19 (32:26):
That way.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Here, you haven't got any and you're smart enough to
know it. You can be lying dead there in five seconds.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Well, son, you coming at me?

Speaker 25 (32:46):
No, no.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Change my mind when you do like the Marshall says,
you go on home.

Speaker 24 (32:58):
Yeah, yeah, all that.

Speaker 19 (33:06):
All right, folks. The show's over now. Why don't you
all go about your business? Hunt go on.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
I guess I'll be moving along, Matt back to Texas.

Speaker 20 (33:19):
No, not this time.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Maybe I'll go out to California, get myself a small
spread and sit under a tree. Use your words. We
have a lot of living ahead of.

Speaker 25 (33:32):
Me that way.

Speaker 19 (33:34):
Yeah, I think you would have.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Goodbye, mister Tugwell, you don't have to call me mister son.
Goodbye Matt, goodbye.

Speaker 20 (33:44):
Leave.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
My golly man like that's got a right to be
called mister.

Speaker 19 (33:55):
Yeah, he has that chester, He's sure where has it?

Speaker 18 (34:27):
In a moment our star William Conrad. What makes a
nation great people? Of course, not money or scenery or history,
but a strong minded, intelligent, well intentioned population. And that's
why action came into being. Communities helped to shape personalities. Clean, healthful,

(34:47):
well ordered communities make for wholesome citizens, while slums breed juvenile, delinquency, maladjustment,
and crime. Action is the American consul to improve our neighborhoods.

Speaker 28 (34:58):
Take a look up.

Speaker 13 (34:58):
The street where you.

Speaker 18 (34:59):
Live is well lighted, our sidewalks in good repair is
garbage disposal efficient. Note the appearance of the buildings. Are
they well kept painted when necessary? And how about the
local school the shopping center nearby the playgrounds. If an
unbiased inspection reveals the signs of blight setting in around
your home, CBS Radio suggests you write Action Box twenty

(35:20):
Radio City Station, New York City for information how you
and your neighbors can work together to improve your homes
in the whole community. That's Action Box twenty Radio City Station,
New York City. And now William Conrad, you know, scattered along.

Speaker 19 (35:37):
The frontier there were planes Indians of many tribes Pawnee, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Rappa, Hoosu.
But next week a citizen of Dodge nearly dies because
of a great lakes Indian a Delaware, And that was
the West.

Speaker 18 (35:58):
Gun Smoke and directed by Norman McDonald, stars William Conrad
as Matt Dylan Us Marshall. The script was specially written
for gun Smoke by William Lester, with editorial supervision by
John Meston. The music was composed and conducted by Rex Cory,
sound patterns by Tom Hanley and Bill James. Featured in
the cast were Vic Perron and Sam Edwards, Harley bare Is, Chester,

(36:22):
Howard mcneher is doctor, and Georgia Ellis is kidding. Join
us again next week for another specially transcribed story on
gun smoke, and that's.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
From Sunday, September thirtieth, nineteen fifty six. Gun Smoke here
on Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt Cox. Take a quick
look at the headlines in a moment.

Speaker 17 (37:18):
In case an enemy attack on our country, these two
numbers six forty and twelve forty may save your life.
They are your connel right frequencies. Remember six forty and
twelve forty.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
Now look at the headlines from the newspapers of Sunday,
September thirtieth, nineteen fifty six. Secretary Saint John Boster Dulles
said yesterday the President's brother, doctor Milton Eisenhower, made valuable
contributions to US relations with Latin America, but never tried
to take over state department functions. Dulles vigorously defended doctor

(37:51):
Einstein against what he called a completely untrue charge by
Democratic presidential nominee Adlee Stevenson. Stevenson asserted in Miami Life Tuesday,
the Melton Eisenhower assumes special if informal responsibility for relations
with Argentina at the time when the Eisenhower administration was
trying to appease Dictator one Perne. Vice President Nixon told

(38:16):
a cheering crowd of between sixty five hundred and seven
thousand last night at a lang field that Adelie Stevenson
offered a pie in the sky security program to the
nation senior citizens. He then countered with a six point
generalized security program of his own, pledging the administration to
work for higher employment of the elderly, research on disease,

(38:38):
better housing, a stable dollar, more community participation, and better
coordination of all programs affecting the elderly. Vice President Nixon
said he only opposes the extremists in the segregation integration
battle and doesn't consider signers of the Congressional Manifesto denouncing
the Supreme Court among Thatson's defense at the signers of

(39:01):
the so called Southern Manifesto of last March. Came in
response to a question at a press conference at Tampa
International Airport just after his arrival for a Republican campaign
rally and the Saint Petersburg. William Joseph Brannan, a New
Jersey jurist, and Democrat chosen by President Eisenhower yesterday to

(39:25):
succeed Associate Justice Sherman Minton, a Democrat on the Supreme Court.
Brennan's selection, if confirmed by the Senate when Congress convenes
in January, would leave the High Court's political lineup unchanged
at six Democrats and three Republicans. Although a registered Democrat,
Brennan told reporters he never has taken an active part

(39:46):
in politics. Former President Harry Truman said last night a
Democrat victory in the November election will bring a substantial
saving to the nation's lower bracket taxpayers. Truman, speaking at
a Democrat rally in John Hancock Colin Boston, accused the
Eisenhower administration of favoring the rich and big corporations with

(40:09):
tax cuts and ignoring the little fellow. Senator S. S.
Keep Oper ended a twelve thousand and nine hundred mile
campaign swing yesterday with predictions of victory and sellas for
Joe Smith and competent that his puppy bitten fan finger
will recover. Democrat Vice presidential candidate Lappingly told a news

(40:31):
conference at Huntington, West Virginia, on the last day of
a fifteen day tour in search of votes for the
common Man challenged Vice President Nixon's State Friday administration support
for the TVA. He charged President Reagan had broken promises
on that subject, while adelaide Stephenson continues to gain still

(40:56):
odds feofle favor Eisenhower for a second term in office.
The Consultative Assembly of the fifteen Nation Council of Europe
will discuss the Suez Canal crisis and the Cyprus problem
in October. Small meeting will open in Strausburg, and the

(41:18):
Assembly's decisions are conclusions are not binding on member nations.
Police yesterday in Miami shot down three young timberwolves, the
animals escaping their cage to the tourist attraction. Six officers
killed and when they hinted toward a residential section of
the city. Liberachi went after sections of the British press yesterday,

(41:43):
charging degenerate attacks against him, and put his mother to
bed under a doctor's care. The American pianist and some
British columnists implied he was an unmanly man, quoting, if
my mother's help doesn't improve, I'm certainly going to do
something about it. A Duke and Duchess of windsors say
they're twenty years of marriage have been years of no

(42:05):
regrets and an unbroken honeymoon vow of mutual silence about
what might have been. The former King Edward the Eighth,
who gave up the British throne in nineteen thirty six
for his duchess, appeared with her in New York as
guests of Edward R. Murrow on his TV program. Person
the person asked if they ever had occasion to discuss

(42:25):
what might have been. The Duke replied, I think you
must be referring to events of the crucial events of
my life and our lives in nineteen thirty six, and
wondering whether they have preoccupied our minds since that time.
The answers most emphatically know we both feel there is
no more wasteful or foolish or frustrating exercise than trying
to penetrate the fiction of what might have been. But

(42:48):
I do know what has been. In the twenty years
since we were married. There have been rewarding years, years
of great happiness, years of no regrets, when we have
preferred to look to the future rather than over our
shoulders to the past. Oh Mickey Mouse, discovered in New
Haven to have had an English grandfather, a bush tailed

(43:08):
rodent who wore a stiff collar and preferred to be
properly addressed as Michael. Scholarly foraging and comic strip genealogy
at Yale University uncovered a privately owned eighteenth century manuscript
entitled Mister Michael Mouse Unfolds his Tail proper Michael, created
by famed English illustrator Walter Crane for the entertaining of

(43:32):
his children. Though some of the day's top news stories
has reported in the newspapers of Sunday, September thirtieth, nineteen
fifty six. On your radio, we will go to Fort
Larne next.

Speaker 29 (43:50):
In case of national civil defense emergency, the Emergency Broadcast
System may be activated. Then you would receive essential information
by turning your radio dial to an EBS operating in
your area. The Emergency Broadcast System stations will be easy
to identify because of their repeated announcements of the area
they're serving and.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
The successor to the Emergency Broadcast System, the Emergency Alert System,
will keep you informed today. Now we wrap up our
look at Sunday, September thirtieth, nineteen fifty six, as we
go to Fort Larmie and see what's going on with
Captain lee Quince, portrayed by Raymond Burr.

Speaker 14 (44:35):
That's the column Woo.

Speaker 8 (45:02):
Fort Laramie, Fort Laramie, starring Raymond Burr as Captain lee
Quins especially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground

(45:24):
of the wild Frontier, the saga of fighting men who
rode the rim of Empire, and the dramatic story of
lee Quince, Captain of Cavalry.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
I'd rather take these orders than give them, Captain. Black Hills,
the Black Hills, the powder a big Horn, Yellowstone, Montana
territory covers.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
A lot of ground here.

Speaker 13 (46:03):
Do you want these orders? You say, I sure do.
They're your orders. Why don't you take him?

Speaker 1 (46:08):
You might be gone two weeks, you might be gone
two months.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Now.

Speaker 19 (46:12):
I'm going to stay here, set up the parley.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
These are your orders, Lee.

Speaker 13 (46:18):
Well'll see in their mind. Maybe maybe you'll tell me
what they are. Sitting bull, sitting bull.

Speaker 19 (46:25):
I mean it.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
You've given me the army from the Department of the
Platte to go after him. I'm givin you a patrol
and a slip of paper. This isn't an engagement cap'n.
I want you to deliver an invitation to Sitting Bull
to parley with us.

Speaker 13 (46:39):
Give me a lot of territory to find him in, Major.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
And I can give you about six scout reports, each
one definitely establishing Sitting Bull's camp at six different locations,
from the Black Hills to the Yellowstone.

Speaker 13 (46:50):
I saw Pete Hazen's last report on him and Belle
Force here in the Black Hills. That was six months ago.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
That's the latest report we have.

Speaker 13 (47:00):
Well, I can start there, might pick up some fresh
word in the way when you want me to leave,
as soon as.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
You can pick up a troll and outfit it. I
remember you're heading north, planning anything from heat to snow. Yeah,
when you plan the parley, Major, we'd like to hold
it before winter sets in. If he set up a
winter camp, he won't move till spring.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
If he won't, we'll hold it in the spring.

Speaker 13 (47:22):
He might not move.

Speaker 9 (47:23):
Then.

Speaker 13 (47:25):
He isn't much to hold meetings with white men, and
we're hoping he'll come. Yeah, Well, the finding him comes first,
I'll get started.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Major.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Oh uh Lee, Yes, sir, you've you've seen him once
you talk to him.

Speaker 13 (47:43):
I listened to him. I didn't understand a word he said.
But when he got through, I knew what he meant.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
I understand. He doesn't speak English.

Speaker 13 (47:52):
He doesn't have to. He speaks, and you listen and
you watch him, and you understand.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
I've never seen him. I've heard the story that he's
a complete savage, that he hates white men. He's brilliant,
and he's stupid, he's revere that he's hated. I just
like to see for himself.

Speaker 13 (48:10):
When you see him, Major, you'll find out one thing
in a hurry. Yeah, he hates white men.

Speaker 30 (48:39):
Yeah, Sir, Corporal, that remount station is still ahead.

Speaker 13 (48:43):
Better be arizon. I'm counting on it. I thought we'd
make camp the start tomorrow with fresh horses.

Speaker 30 (48:48):
They're cracking and dooling their mounts.

Speaker 13 (48:50):
Took to front of it.

Speaker 30 (48:50):
When the boulder shook loose a while back.

Speaker 20 (48:52):
The men hurt.

Speaker 13 (48:53):
Corporal shook up.

Speaker 30 (48:54):
That's all, Lieutenant Cyberge.

Speaker 13 (48:56):
I'll tell him. The remount station just a couple of
miles away. I'd like to make it.

Speaker 30 (49:00):
They'll make it. Sorry yet that.

Speaker 20 (49:03):
Two more miles, Captain, that'll make twenty five miles.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
For us today.

Speaker 13 (49:07):
Not bad.

Speaker 20 (49:08):
I thought it was pretty good.

Speaker 31 (49:09):
Cir Considering that landslide held us up some we averaged
twenty five miles a day.

Speaker 13 (49:14):
We'll bet we can't, mister Shybrids. Another day we'll be
heading into the Black Hills proper, so we'll be lucky
to make eighteen a day through them. Yes, Sir, aart
going sometimes, mostly it's slow.

Speaker 20 (49:26):
I guess the soup could slow us down some too.

Speaker 13 (49:29):
I guess they could, mister Shybits.

Speaker 31 (49:31):
That landslide, Captain, that could have been started by Indians,
could have been I think it was.

Speaker 13 (49:37):
No, it's Indian country, sirch your ideas. They shoved some
boulders at us to discourage his mister shyberts, Well, I've
done it before, but they didn't try to make it
stick or a dozen men. The slide did hold us up,
stop us for the best part of an hour. If
there were Indians, Lieutenant, they'd have taken advantage of it.

(49:57):
We were sitting ducks.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
I guess we were.

Speaker 20 (50:03):
Well it was an idea anyway, Lieutenant.

Speaker 13 (50:06):
Before you came to be company, we had a first
lieutenant who'd been through part of the war, never said much.
I'd give him an order, he'd follow it to the letter.
I could count on that he'd follow it to the letter. Yes, sir,
he never asked questions, he never had theories.

Speaker 20 (50:22):
I understand, Captain.

Speaker 13 (50:24):
He wasn't much good to me, mister Sabbats, Yes, sir, Captain,

(50:50):
your name duns it?

Speaker 19 (50:52):
What do you see?

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Your name?

Speaker 13 (50:53):
Is it dune It? Oh?

Speaker 32 (50:54):
Oh, yeah, I guess he is. I don't hear it
off enough anymore to be sure.

Speaker 13 (51:00):
And a quiet running the remount station?

Speaker 32 (51:02):
Is it Scott down in Nester? Sometimes this ain't exactly
the Oregon trailer?

Speaker 23 (51:07):
You know?

Speaker 32 (51:08):
Are you staying long, Captain?

Speaker 13 (51:10):
Until morning? Your horses look good? They are having any
trouble hanging on to him?

Speaker 32 (51:16):
You mean Indian raids?

Speaker 13 (51:17):
They gone out of style?

Speaker 32 (51:20):
He just might put it that way, Captain. I mind
a time when I couldn't keep a horse here with
four broke legs. They run them off that fast. But
lately now I get to know them just like brothers.

Speaker 13 (51:29):
Brothers.

Speaker 32 (51:30):
Huh, well, I say, brothers. I don't know why never
had any brothers about Indian raids. I'll tell you the truth.
How to welcome one?

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Ever?

Speaker 32 (51:39):
So often a man needs more than horses, you know,
of course, up to year ago, Letty was with me,
and that helped him. Letty, yeah, let he dunceth my wife. Oh,
just about a year ago now, a fella came riding
up one day and said him introduce some mining. Though
I swear he didn't have so much as a pick
with him there as I could tell. He stayed a
few days, and I was busy as the horses, you know,

(51:59):
and he rode off. Darned if he didn't take Letty
with him.

Speaker 13 (52:03):
Well maybe you're better off with horses.

Speaker 32 (52:07):
Oh yeah, Letty wasn't much of a talker.

Speaker 13 (52:10):
This would be Lance Creek along here.

Speaker 32 (52:13):
Yep, Lance Cricket is.

Speaker 13 (52:15):
I thought i'd follow it to Beaver Creek and cut
up to the Bell Force from there.

Speaker 32 (52:20):
Makes a nice, pretty trip, pretty country.

Speaker 13 (52:23):
Well, besides the scenery, is that the quickest root into
the black Hills?

Speaker 19 (52:27):
I know?

Speaker 2 (52:28):
No a quicker one.

Speaker 32 (52:29):
Uh the count twelve men captain, That's all there is.
You ain't going after him with twelve men.

Speaker 13 (52:37):
I say anything about going after someone.

Speaker 32 (52:41):
Army, don't come trapesing through here getting fresh horses just
for the ride. The way it comes to me, though,
you'll need a sight more than twelve men, more than
twelve hundred oh.

Speaker 13 (52:50):
We're not starting any wars, Don said.

Speaker 32 (52:52):
Not you maybe, but you take a white man leading
hostile Indians and you're apt to have a war.

Speaker 13 (52:58):
And no twelve troopers, white man leading what indians?

Speaker 32 (53:02):
The Sioux. Now, don't tell me you ain't never heard
telling him man, I don't never see nobody and I
heard of him.

Speaker 13 (53:09):
Well see, and I haven't suppose you tell me what
you've heard and where you've heard it.

Speaker 32 (53:14):
Well, last time it was from koy You're going to
Beaver Creek way. You run right by Korey's plate. He's tall,
great and tall, and he's got a beard that's long,
you know, long and flowing.

Speaker 13 (53:27):
That hikoy A you're talking about.

Speaker 32 (53:28):
No, No, the white leader the sou and they say
when he talks it's like thunder and his eyes his
flash enlightening.

Speaker 13 (53:35):
Done said, do you know what I think?

Speaker 19 (53:37):
How do I know that?

Speaker 13 (53:38):
I think you've been with horses too long? Take him

(54:02):
down to Beaver quick, mister s Habits, I wanna talk
to the settler.

Speaker 20 (54:05):
Looks like he's packing up. Captain, hold that by the barn.

You know him pretty well, see maybe twice a year.
Don't dare go off in her poor little cooling used
to people talks. The fool had a don't.

Speaker 19 (54:58):
Make a lot of signers.

Speaker 13 (54:59):
He's got a storry to tell about a new white
leader of the Sioux.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
That's why it's brought you up here.

Speaker 13 (55:06):
Dunst says, you told him about the white man.

Speaker 20 (55:09):
What he said?

Speaker 1 (55:09):
I said about him?

Speaker 13 (55:10):
That he's tall, there's a long flowing beard, talks like
thunder eyes that flash lightning.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Thunder and enlightening.

Speaker 19 (55:20):
That bart is fewer.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
I sure didn't mention thunder and lightning.

Speaker 13 (55:25):
What about the rest of it.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Mister, Oh that's gosh, he's tall, tall as you. There's
no doubt about the beard, all right.

Speaker 20 (55:32):
Of course, you hear all.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Kinds of things.

Speaker 33 (55:34):
Sometimes you're put to wondering what to believe. Now I've
heard he's got his high as a thousand lodges, some say.

Speaker 13 (55:41):
More thousand lodges, and figuring three men to a lodge.
This man's got a Sioux following of three thousand braves.

Speaker 24 (55:49):
I'm just telling you what was told to me.

Speaker 13 (55:51):
Cam Dunset added the thunder and lightning. What did you add, mister, on.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Our kingswere lodges.

Speaker 19 (55:58):
I told you that.

Speaker 33 (56:00):
Hey, but the man himself for what it looks like
that much? I know, I know, of course I've seen
him when well, yes, it's all four or five months ago. Now,
it rode up my lane, watered his mule right there
at beaver Cricks. What's your man are doing?

Speaker 13 (56:12):
And this giant of a man with a flowing beard
told you he'd come to lead the Sioux against the
white man.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
He said as much, captain, did the Sioux need a
new leader? Now those were his words. I come to
give him a new leader, That's what he said. The
plane is anything.

Speaker 13 (56:31):
You were ready to go to the agency as soon
as you'll love the grain and take me no time
at all, I'll give you a hand and a military escort. Well,

(56:54):
I think I've managed to quiet him. We don't get
much army through here. It's a treaty. Your agency isn't
used to cavalry patrols passing by stopping for water. Sure
they saw you setting up camp ate am edgie. Considering
we're on a peace mission, we seem to be doing

(57:15):
a job of making a lot of people edgy. It's
the time, as Captain Hey, look up there the Black Hills,
last sun of the day on them. It's beautiful. I
look at them all day, the morning sun on them,

(57:36):
the bright sun of midday, and now when they're giving
up to the night, and they're always beautiful. But somewhere
in those hills, something quiet.

Speaker 19 (57:50):
Is building up.

Speaker 13 (57:51):
I don't know what it is, but I feel it,
and the agency engines feel it. Someday I got a
notion a whole West is gonna feel it. You got
mostly Sioux here in the agency. Mostly the Black Hills
are pass sapid to them, sacred. It's the home of

(58:12):
the Sioux deities. Maybe maybe that's the feeling. Whatever it is,
I'm losing Indians to it every day. The winter coming on,
that's the time most Indians head for agencies, always before, yeah,
but not this year. Just the opposite.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (58:32):
I left Fort Laramie four days ago to find Sitting
Bull and invite him to pow wow with us, and
every place I stop, no one wants to talk about
Sitting Bull. All I hear is that the Sioux have
a new white leader. That's all I hear, Captain, But
you never saw it. No, but I never saw Sitting Bull.

(58:53):
That doesn't mean he doesn't exist. You figure you've lost
how many Indians so far? Over twenty? I look around
at days and everyone's accounted for. By morning, two are gone,
maybe three, maybe just one, and no one ever knows
where they're gone. Of course, I'm supposing you're reporting this

(59:16):
to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, sure like I'm also
reporting there's fewer and fewer Indian raids, less hostility, less trouble. Now,
what do you think they're going to pay most attention
to twenty Indians going off an agency or four or
five months of uninterrupted peace. Why do you suppose they

(59:36):
sent this patrol up here? This whole area is so
peaceful right now they want to make it official, want
to smoke the pipe with Sitting Bull and tell the
rest of the country the Indian Wars are over. I
don't envy you, Captain riding into the Black hills just now. Thanks,

(59:57):
you could send back for more troops and clear I'm
still looking for Sitting Bull. You don't believe the talk
they're about the White Leader. I don't believe it when
I see him.

Speaker 20 (01:00:29):
A patch of smoke ahead, Captain coming out of that
line of hills to the west.

Speaker 13 (01:00:35):
First, when you've seen mister Seybert.

Speaker 20 (01:00:37):
No, sir, it isn't. This one seems larger than the others.

Speaker 13 (01:00:43):
Signal fires, sue. We're just letting their people know we're
here marking our course for him.

Speaker 20 (01:00:50):
We're flying a white flaque.

Speaker 13 (01:00:52):
They've honored it so far. Yes, sir, those signal fires
aren't bothering me near. So my which is that cloud
forming a hit? We're gonna get some weather before long,
bad weather. You're more worried about a storm and Sitting Bull.
I know where the storm is, mister Sibut, Well, Sitting

(01:01:14):
Bull might be nearer.

Speaker 19 (01:01:16):
He might.

Speaker 20 (01:01:19):
Signal fires are a warning to someone.

Speaker 13 (01:01:21):
I hope it's Sitting Bull. If it is, we can
deliver our message and get out before we get bogged
down by the storm. I guess I don't understand, sir.
We maybe attacked, mister Sibots. We're in an unseated Indian country.
It can happen anytime. But sitting bull isn't likely to
attack a patrol flying truth flag.

Speaker 20 (01:01:48):
You know you don't often hear him described as a
man of honor.

Speaker 13 (01:01:53):
The Sioux think he is lieutenant.

Speaker 31 (01:01:56):
Yes, but well you met him, sir. You must have
an idea what kind of a man he is?

Speaker 13 (01:02:02):
I have an idea, mister Sabots.

Speaker 30 (01:02:07):
Captain Quinson, what does it look like?

Speaker 13 (01:02:09):
I'm ahead of Harrison.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
The storm's heading her away, all right, Captain, But straight
ahead over the rise there's a valley set of blazer.

Speaker 13 (01:02:16):
Can't see the smoke.

Speaker 35 (01:02:18):
It looks like part of the storm cloud near Captain.
You can take my word for it.

Speaker 30 (01:02:22):
It's burning away for fair.

Speaker 13 (01:02:23):
That's the patrol of mister Sabaitts. All right ahead with
Corporal Harrison. Yes, come on, corporal.

Speaker 6 (01:02:29):
Patrol.

Speaker 20 (01:02:31):
Oh, he.

Speaker 13 (01:02:40):
Burning right up into the ravines, Harrison.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
They've been marking our course all the way in with
signal fires. Might be the set of good one like
this to tell us we ain't right.

Speaker 24 (01:02:49):
Well, come in their.

Speaker 13 (01:02:50):
Country, and it might be they set it to cover
their movement away from the valley. Only from up here
we should be able to spot him.

Speaker 30 (01:02:58):
I ain't seeing an engine yet, Captain.

Speaker 13 (01:03:02):
We better find some cover for the patrol. Can't make
it across the Plazon Valley, and we can't ride the
long way around in this kind of storm.

Speaker 30 (01:03:11):
This ain't a bad camp sight, Sir.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
Then granted ledges making an overhang away they do, of course,
I don't know how near we are a water.

Speaker 13 (01:03:21):
Is that near enough for you? Yes, sir, sure is
taking on the patrol to move up, Harrison. I'm gonna
ride along this rim find a spot for the horse.

Speaker 35 (01:03:29):
Yes, sir, it's clearing off camp. The worst of it's

(01:03:49):
moved through.

Speaker 20 (01:03:51):
You checked the pickets yet this morning, Corporal change the
duty of dogs, Sir.

Speaker 13 (01:03:55):
Any of them drowned during the night.

Speaker 30 (01:03:57):
If they dead, they didn't mention it to me.

Speaker 36 (01:04:04):
You still trying to figure out where we are, Captain, Yeah,
I kind of like to know. Funny, you look at
a map like that makes everything look real simple.

Speaker 13 (01:04:16):
I left the agency on the Belfourche, moved along it
and to the west to the little Powder west again
to the Powder. Is a river in that valley below harrison.

Speaker 30 (01:04:29):
If there is, it was on fire yesterday.

Speaker 13 (01:04:30):
Now let's take a look. By golly, there is a river, Captain,
and it must be the tongue.

Speaker 24 (01:04:43):
This is new country to me.

Speaker 30 (01:04:45):
You sure couldn't see no river for the blaze down
there yesterday.

Speaker 13 (01:04:48):
If it is the tongue, we're in Montana territory, Corporal,
don't look much different, and it's beginning too, yes, sir,
it sure.

Speaker 20 (01:04:58):
Is, go coming out the trail Indians.

Speaker 13 (01:05:02):
How many lieutenant?

Speaker 37 (01:05:03):
Six?

Speaker 19 (01:05:04):
Eight?

Speaker 13 (01:05:04):
That's all I make got, Captain, that's the word. Hold fire, corporal, Yes,
older fire man, older fire.

Speaker 20 (01:05:13):
Won't seem to fear us, sir. Riding up from that
charred valley as big as you please.

Speaker 13 (01:05:19):
It's their valley, mister Simons, Well, yes it is. Might
be they're just riding up to remind us of that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Look, young captain.

Speaker 38 (01:05:32):
Mm hmmm, very small camp. How many white soldiers twelve?

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
Who?

Speaker 13 (01:05:47):
Well, that's right.

Speaker 28 (01:05:50):
Too.

Speaker 19 (01:05:50):
Well the weld is how many white soldier you are?

Speaker 13 (01:05:57):
Six braves?

Speaker 25 (01:05:59):
Six braves.

Speaker 13 (01:06:00):
We are twice your number, two white soldiers to one brave.

Speaker 19 (01:06:07):
Now understand.

Speaker 13 (01:06:10):
Why here we have a letter The white chiefs want
to power. Will sit in ball smoke the pipe, talk peace.

Speaker 19 (01:06:20):
Letters say that letter says that I take captain.

Speaker 13 (01:06:25):
It's all right, mister Samons.

Speaker 34 (01:06:28):
Office of Pose Command, Forth Larmy, Wyoming Territory.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Hmm, you see I read you take back?

Speaker 13 (01:06:52):
Thank you? You read well.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
I read well, speak well.

Speaker 13 (01:07:00):
You speak very well.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
You white man me red man.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
That's right.

Speaker 19 (01:07:09):
Color of skin not matter to leader.

Speaker 13 (01:07:12):
Who is your leader?

Speaker 20 (01:07:14):
Leaders say all men are brother.

Speaker 25 (01:07:20):
Now we go.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
What was that all about, Captain?

Speaker 13 (01:07:29):
I don't know, mister Sabbage, but I bet if we
follow him we'll find out.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
They slickered us.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
Captain.

Speaker 30 (01:07:50):
We ain't seen Simon in these in a full day now, not.

Speaker 13 (01:07:53):
In the in Harrison patrol all. Either you can't see
or I'm seeing things.

Speaker 30 (01:08:03):
It had comfort me some to know you saw him too, Captain.

Speaker 13 (01:08:08):
A giant of a white man with a flowing beard
who rides a white mule.

Speaker 30 (01:08:13):
He's the new white leader of the Soup.

Speaker 13 (01:08:17):
I'll let you know when I get back. I heard

(01:08:40):
about you, Captain, I've heard about you. I didn't really
believe it.

Speaker 39 (01:08:47):
Your patrol is flying truce flags. You've got a letter
for sitting bull.

Speaker 13 (01:08:53):
I don't have to tell you anything, do I. Red
Bear was very proud of his knowledge. The young Sioux brave.

Speaker 19 (01:09:00):
He told me he met a white brother who was armed,
who did not shoot.

Speaker 13 (01:09:05):
You're not armed either.

Speaker 19 (01:09:08):
I'm armed.

Speaker 13 (01:09:09):
You mean the sue up on the ridge. No, they're
just interesting, so am I? I hear you've got anything
from a thousand lodges up.

Speaker 19 (01:09:22):
I wish I had, Captain. You can ride up and
count them.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
On my best day, I've got thirty braves.

Speaker 13 (01:09:30):
It's a beginning, depends on what's you're beginning.

Speaker 39 (01:09:33):
A small beginning, not nearly as big as your invitation
to sitting Bull to smoke the pipe.

Speaker 13 (01:09:39):
You know where he is.

Speaker 20 (01:09:40):
The last I heard his camp was on the Yellowstone River.

Speaker 13 (01:09:45):
You said you were armed.

Speaker 40 (01:09:48):
I am.

Speaker 13 (01:09:52):
A Bible a Bible. I'm father Pharaoh. I'm a Jesuit priest.

Speaker 39 (01:09:59):
You're preaching to the Sioux and teaching, I hope, reading, writing,
little farming.

Speaker 13 (01:10:07):
All men, brothers. The color of the skin don't matter.

Speaker 19 (01:10:11):
The Red Bears learning faster than most.

Speaker 13 (01:10:14):
You've You've got out a big job for yourself.

Speaker 21 (01:10:19):
Father.

Speaker 25 (01:10:20):
No, I'm not alone.

Speaker 39 (01:10:21):
I'm a Jesuit, but there are Methodists out here, to Presbyterians.
You help Captain with Red Bear. He seemed to respect you,
to know he could trust you. Maybe that's the way
it begins, with one red man, one white man, trusting
each other.

Speaker 13 (01:10:41):
Yeah, And like you said, father, a small beginning, but
it's a beginning.

do that, Junior? Is it interesting? Is it interesting? Why

that smooth, pleasant chewing and that grand tasting doublemint flavor
adds plenty of extra enjoyment to whatever I'm doing.

delicious doublemint gum for making a good many moments a
whole lot more pleasant to me. And that's why I'm

it's pretty than a blue bellet toad on a lily bed.
You can say that again, Caleb, Okay, I said it's
pretty on a blue bellet toad, never mind on a
lily bed. I hate to leave things just hanging in
got it, and it's just like old times, having Caleb

(01:30:47):
around here again?

Speaker 1 (01:30:48):
Is Johnny?

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
In fact?

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
You know, I was just kind of thinking here, remember
the first time that we met old Caleb.

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
Brother, I'll say, I do. Well, don't just stand there, son,
tell the story. Who knows I might win one of
them oscars? Well you might, at that, old timer, but
I doubt it very very much. Anyway, Folks, as I
remember it now, the Caleb Heaton story all began late
when after in a few years. In fact, Johnny and

(01:31:15):
I had just been up an.

Speaker 11 (01:31:16):
Eagle passed this particular day, chasing down a few strays
when we happened.

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
Along a small mountain stream that I'd almost forgotten about.

Speaker 3 (01:31:25):
Anyway, Sure enough, there in the middle of it was
old kid, down on his hands and knees, panning for gold.
II the old timer, how are you making up? Whoa hurry,
Harry boy? I didn't hear you right up?

Speaker 13 (01:31:39):
Having a luck?

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (01:31:41):

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
Some bed been slushing a few months ago, but mostly saying,
by the way, what's you two doing up this way?

Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
All just shagging down a few strays? How long you've
been up here?

Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
Why a little over a week now, I guess a
follow like me, though, time don't mean much by the way, named.

Speaker 11 (01:32:00):
Hoton calib Houghton, Oh asine autry. This is my set kick,
Johnny Bond.

Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
Glad to know you boys. Same here, say look, old timer. Uh,

say hello.

Speaker 7 (01:32:12):

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
Silly, son, I work can wait.

Speaker 7 (01:32:16):
I ain't seen.

Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
Nobody for so long. I'm kind of glad you have
the company.

Speaker 30 (01:32:19):
You mean you don't ever get into town.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
Not very often said, but just between us, I kind
of think Clarence and me might be heading for level
ground pretty soon. Now, that is, if this war starts
panning out the way I think it's gonna Clarence.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Who's Clarence?

Speaker 7 (01:32:34):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
I forgot you fellows. Ain't never met my mule, have you?
He's the only living relative I.

Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
Got to live.

Speaker 20 (01:32:41):
Clarence.

Speaker 3 (01:32:42):
This here, Jean and Johnny Well, glad to know your class.
Same here, say look, old timer, it's got an idea.
How'd you like a good old fashioned home cooked meal
for a change history? If you just said what I
thought you just said church three words? Yes and how soon?

Speaker 1 (01:33:04):
Okay? How about tonight? That is if you like Mulligan stew.

Speaker 3 (01:33:08):
Oh, can't stand it? What time.

Speaker 7 (01:33:10):
Do you want me there?

Speaker 1 (01:33:12):
Six o'clock?

Speaker 3 (01:33:12):
All right, son, you just made yourself a deal. Well,
by the way, I forgot to ask, where's your place?
Five miles due west of town on the Ridge Rock Road.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
You know where that is?

Speaker 19 (01:33:24):
But I know where town is.

Speaker 3 (01:33:26):
And from there on, me and Clarence we'll just follow
the smell of home cooked mulligan stew and so, folks,
the Caleb Hoaton story all again, just as simple as that.
But when six thirty rolled around without the old timers

(01:33:48):
showing up, I began wondering what had happened to him.
Maybe he had just gotten a late start, or maybe
he just plane couldn't find the place. At any rate,
do one thing that he wouldn't have stood this.

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
Up if he could help it. Anyway. At eight o'clock
I had the rest of the boys go ahead with dinner, but.

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Instead of sitting down with them, I just had a hunch,
I headed for town and the County Claims office. Hey, Wally, Wally,
open up, it's me gene.

Speaker 20 (01:34:26):
Aldrey re entirenation.

Speaker 25 (01:34:30):
Do you want it this time?

Speaker 3 (01:34:31):
And I sorry to get you out of bed, Wally,
but can't I wait a little morning?

Speaker 1 (01:34:35):
No, I need some information. It's kind of important.

Speaker 3 (01:34:39):
Okay, come on, thanks, fellas like you makefellows like me
whish we were riching up town a house instead of
sleeping in the same place we work.

Speaker 1 (01:34:50):
Was sorry, didn't I I'm only kidding.

Speaker 3 (01:34:53):
Just let me get on this rope. Okay, follow man,
watch yourself. It stuck through the show. Where'll I switch
on the slide? Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
Now what do you want to know?

Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
Well, I'm checking on an old man named caleber Hooton Wally.
He wasn't any of this happened by any chance, was her?

Speaker 20 (01:35:18):
I mean, you had me get out of bed and
call away in here.

Speaker 1 (01:35:21):
Just ask me that I told you it was important.

Speaker 20 (01:35:24):
Okay, so it's important.

Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
Answer still, know, only had two people come in all day,
and neither one of them had a name that sounded
anything like what.

Speaker 20 (01:35:30):
You just sall right?

Speaker 19 (01:35:31):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:35:32):
In that case, then how about checking on a piece
of property up an Eagle Pass section from him? Look,
Jane Autrey, will you please tell me what you're trying approve?
I just want to find out if a certain section
up on Sandy Creek has ever been laid flame to.

Speaker 11 (01:35:48):
That's all very outs, Sandy Creek. Oh just below the rapids,
maybe a quarter of a mile.

Speaker 20 (01:35:54):
That shouldn't be too hard to check on.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
Yeah, let's take a look at.

Speaker 20 (01:35:57):
This map.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
And then you say it's just about here, right, Yeah,
that's right. Okay, that's section thirty four J. And then
we gon, let's see what the fires show in eighteen
twenty six thirty two thirty three. I hear it is
thirty four J.

Speaker 19 (01:36:16):
Good.

Speaker 1 (01:36:17):
What does it say about it?

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
Says claimed Staked in fire by Eli Holland, September ninth,
nineteen forty four.

Speaker 1 (01:36:25):
Well, yes, that's that.

Speaker 20 (01:36:28):
Sorry to buzzed you, Wally. Oh, think nothing of it.
I love getting up in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
So all I'd.

Speaker 11 (01:36:45):
Found out that to now is that the old timer
had been prospected on land that he couldn't have claimed anyway.

Speaker 20 (01:36:52):
And then I got to.

Speaker 3 (01:36:53):
Thinking maybe he had just decided to pack up and
move on. But I still wasn't convinced in my own mind.
So the next morning I started up Champion again and
headed towards Sandy.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
Creek for another look around.

Speaker 11 (01:37:10):
Oh oh, I had a champ hold of a minute, boy,
just get off here and do a little checking over
on that rig.

Speaker 13 (01:37:21):
You're looking for something message.

Speaker 3 (01:37:23):
Huh oh hidy, mister, I didn't know there was anybody
else around.

Speaker 19 (01:37:29):
I asked you a question.

Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
Oh yeah, why I'm looking for an old prospector. But
the name of Caleb Houghton. I haven't seen him around.

Speaker 11 (01:37:38):
Here, have you.

Speaker 13 (01:37:38):
He's gone. She is going to visit his brother. Anything
else you want to know?

Speaker 1 (01:37:43):
Oh, didn't leave any message, did he?

Speaker 38 (01:37:47):
Look, mister, I don't know nothing about any message.

Speaker 11 (01:37:49):
But in just in case you don't know what This
is private property, so if you smart your claire, i'd
leave well enough alone.

Speaker 1 (01:37:56):
So that's the way it is.

Speaker 13 (01:37:57):
Yes, that's the way it is.

Speaker 11 (01:37:58):
So beat it, Thank you, my man. I'll beat it,
like you say, but don't take any bets that I
won't be back.

Speaker 3 (01:38:15):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:38:16):
I knew something was fishing.

Speaker 11 (01:38:17):
Because the old timer had told me right on that
very same spart that he didn't have any family left
in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:38:25):
That being the case, he couldn't very well have gone
to visit his brother.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
And then all of a sudden the answer to the
whole thing hit me like a jolt of broper around
the caps.

Speaker 19 (01:38:38):
Yesser.

Speaker 3 (01:38:38):
From here on, it was just a matter of set
in a little trap with a right piece of cheese,
and since Johnny Bond was new around these parts, I
decided that he was the best piece of cheese that
I could find.

Speaker 20 (01:38:53):
Quick. I want to stake a clink like you hit
it good, young feller. Well look up my book.

Speaker 3 (01:38:57):
Okay, but hurried up with young I don't want them
to happen. Worry, mister von von Johnny Bond. All right,
all right, now, First, where is this property? He claim
located over to the south end of Big Snake Creek,
just this side of Johansson's Meal. You know where it is? Okay,
according to the map that section one of seven and
went away down. I just told her the second. I
want to check the claims.

Speaker 20 (01:39:16):
Right, Oh, this show is my lucky day.

Speaker 3 (01:39:18):
Only been in these ports listening week now and already
I hit it big and ounce and a half a
gold out there. No time at all could have got
more of it. I wanted to get down here in
space cut steak, got my clean You know it looks
like you're still in luck, mister Vond. Just sign this
paper right here in the land's yours.

Speaker 20 (01:39:33):
Okay, okay, right there?

Speaker 3 (01:39:35):
Anything else out of thing that case? Shake hands with
a millionaire buddy.

Speaker 30 (01:39:40):
And have a cigar.

Speaker 1 (01:39:49):
Now, the piece of cheese is on the trail, and
all we had to do was wait for the rat.

Speaker 3 (01:39:54):
So, just as we'd planned, Johnny went back to the
Big Snake Creek and pitched camp.

Speaker 1 (01:40:00):
When he got there, it was just after dark. The
sky had started to cloud over, and a little bit
it looked like.

Speaker 3 (01:40:07):
Rain, all of which only made Johnny even more scared
than he was already.

Speaker 13 (01:40:12):
Oh why did I.

Speaker 24 (01:40:15):
You forget him?

Speaker 20 (01:40:17):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
Must have been the wind. Good evening.

Speaker 20 (01:40:20):
Mister Who are you? And then you don't recognize me?

Speaker 1 (01:40:25):
Ah?

Speaker 20 (01:40:26):
I'd better, mister Burns, What are you doing up here?

Speaker 6 (01:40:30):
I collect gold for hobby.

Speaker 20 (01:40:33):
I thought you might have something you could spare.

Speaker 3 (01:40:35):
Okay, all right, but what are you pointing that gun
at me for?

Speaker 20 (01:40:40):
Oh? Did I tell her?

Speaker 1 (01:40:41):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 3 (01:40:42):
You see, I think it's important to point your gun
at a man when you intend to kill him, an't Joe?

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
Oh? Sure?

Speaker 3 (01:40:49):
What did you say?

Speaker 25 (01:40:51):
I got it?

Speaker 20 (01:40:52):
Just not saying your prayers?

Speaker 1 (01:40:54):
Carse my hand?

Speaker 20 (01:40:57):
All right, you're lucky that it wasn't.

Speaker 13 (01:40:58):
Worse than that?

Speaker 1 (01:40:59):
Turns?

Speaker 20 (01:41:00):
Should I say?

Speaker 1 (01:41:01):
Mister Eli Holland?

Speaker 20 (01:41:03):
H hell of what you're talking about? Besides you can't
prove what the well, let's.

Speaker 3 (01:41:06):
Say about that time up, Johnny, Wait a minute, Ain't
you even gonna thank me? Oh sure, I'm sorry, thanks
for being my piece of cheese. Think nothing of it, Opal,
Just one little thing.

Speaker 1 (01:41:19):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (01:41:20):
Another two seconds and your piece of cheese would have
been Swiss cheese. And so, folks, that's the end of
the Caleb Hooping story. Boy, that Eli Holland Feller really

(01:41:40):
had himself quite a little racket, didn't he, Gene.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
I'll say that, Johnny.

Speaker 3 (01:41:43):
You see, folks, by using his job at the recorder's office,
he could issue claims to prospectors who hit rich strikes.
Then as soon as they left, he tore up their
claims and made out new predated ones to Eli Holland,
which was his real name.

Speaker 1 (01:42:00):
After that, well, he'd just do it with the prospection.
Nobody was an evil wiser.

Speaker 3 (01:42:05):
Hey, I forgot to ask you, but that what made
you suspicious of him in the first place. To day, Johnny,
a simple date on that claim that he showed me
the first night I was there, it said, Filed by
Eli Holland, September ninth, nineteen forty four. Well, what's wrong
with that nothing except that which I got thinking about it.
And remember the little story. You see, September ninth is

(01:42:28):
admission day in this state, and no government office is
open because of a holiday.

Speaker 20 (01:42:33):
Well, I'll be there.

Speaker 3 (01:42:35):
Ain't all of the story, Ocean, It ain't no Charie,
not by a long shot. You see, all the time
you fellers thought I was a garter, I was really
tied to a tree, And coming towards me were sixty
five cougars, thirty eight mountain lions, and three wild boars
carrying submachine guns. Anyway, all I had with me was
a sling shot and an old memory board.

Speaker 19 (01:42:56):
That's all but a good night tailor.

Speaker 3 (01:43:20):
And now, folks, here's a mighty pretty tune that many
a cowboy has seen as well as their part.

Speaker 1 (01:43:28):
Nestled in the canyon, somewhere high in the Rockies.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
Is a place where the sands of time sing a
song that you never forget. The name of the place, Alamosa.
The song, well, it goes like this, The sing inside
Avalosa sang tenderly the nigh that we found love.

Speaker 1 (01:43:59):
Where far.

Speaker 19 (01:44:03):
Deep in the side.

Speaker 1 (01:44:08):

Speaker 1 (01:44:23):
But sense you said, goodbye.

Speaker 40 (01:44:28):

Speaker 21 (01:45:33):

(01:45:55):
so soothing and relaxing. Kind of gives me a new
lease on life.

Speaker 1 (01:46:00):
Well, let's tell you, Charlie. Music can do that all that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:04):
And you know, I found that chewing refreshing doublemint gum
is a swell help treat too.

Speaker 20 (01:46:12):
Yes, sir.

Speaker 3 (01:46:13):
When I get going to the point where my nerves
are tight and edgy, that smooth, pleasant chewing helps to
ease me up a bit. And that nice, clean doublemint
flavor gives me a welcome lip too. So remember, folks,
that's refreshing, delicious doublemint gum.

Speaker 25 (01:46:33):

(01:48:22):
hanging out with the Texas Rangers. That's next.

Speaker 37 (01:48:36):
If you were planning a new building, the architect can
make inexpensive changes in his design to shield against the
dangers of radioactive fallout.

Speaker 1 (01:48:45):
This technique is called design slanting.

Speaker 37 (01:48:48):
Which simply means designing for added fallout protection without adversely
affecting the use, appearance, or cost of a building. To
learn more about slanting, contact your local defense director.

Speaker 4 (01:49:01):

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):
Case Fortnite clean Up.

Speaker 11 (01:50:27):
Several years ago, the town of Kilman, Texas, boasted a
population of slightly under three thousand inhabitants until a wildcat
gushes startled a fabulous.

Speaker 19 (01:50:36):
New oil boom.

Speaker 11 (01:50:37):
In a matter of months, the population rose to twelve thousands. Drillers,
roughnecks and other field personnel poured in, and behind them
like vultures came the horde of racketeers, gamblers, and grifters,
but even organized vice was not profitable enough for the
boss of the crime syndicate, Frankie Gennaro.

Speaker 19 (01:50:55):
Gennaro started to move in.

Speaker 20 (01:50:57):
On the oil business itself. Sure Paul has a long stuts. Yeah,
Frankie in the shack with a light. What if we've
been getting from him?

Speaker 2 (01:51:12):
Perhaps got the fingers?

Speaker 13 (01:51:14):
Yeah, he's got four wills in production.

Speaker 2 (01:51:16):
We've been getting two hundred bells today.

Speaker 20 (01:51:18):
To watch his beaf. He's still getting plenty.

Speaker 7 (01:51:20):
He choked the wells down, says he won't pay off anymore.

Speaker 20 (01:51:24):
I will say about that. You better come in to her.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
Okay, finger, I'm not covering it. Hey, what's the idea
for I standing here? No idea, Paul. Hey, you've had
some kind of misunderstanding with my voice. There's normals understanding, Gennaro.
You're just not getting any more oil from my wells.

(01:51:47):
I'm not taking any more threats from you or your
ten horned friends. Won't what you're saying, Paul, I'll say
what I want. I'll not only saying to you, I'll
say it to.

Speaker 20 (01:51:54):
The Law's got a little trigger. Paul shoots off.

Speaker 7 (01:51:58):
Two weeks Honey, get out, get out of here.

Speaker 3 (01:52:01):
Before a business pipe wrench over your head.

Speaker 20 (01:52:03):
Hey, I'm shun ye, Frankly, let me go.

Speaker 7 (01:52:08):
He's got a name I haven't heard.

Speaker 20 (01:52:16):
He clipped me with that wrench. How they want to
do it against that's this.

Speaker 1 (01:52:20):
I'll teach the other operators not to get smart.

Speaker 20 (01:52:23):
Come on her, let's get out of head.

Speaker 11 (01:52:32):
The death of Joe Powell sealed the lips of other
frightened oil operators, and they said nothing as Frankie Gennaro
continued to exact tribute from the smaller private companies.

Speaker 20 (01:52:42):
But Paul's murder arous special interest of the Texas Rangers.
Captain Stinson sent for a ranger, jas Pearson.

Speaker 3 (01:52:49):
You know what's been happening and killman since the oil
boom started.

Speaker 1 (01:52:52):
Jason, I've heard.

Speaker 11 (01:52:53):
I've got rangers in the town, of course, good men,
but the too well known. We're being blocked all the
way by people who don't talk, who are afraid to talk.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
I've never worked at Kilmen District. I'm not known there.

Speaker 3 (01:53:04):
That's why I sent for you.

Speaker 11 (01:53:06):
I want Kilmen cleaned up, starting with Joe Powell's murder.
But a man wearing a badge won't stand a chance.
You want me to work without one, that's right, Jase,
But not alone. We got a new man just transferred
into the company, Steve Clark. You can work together.

Speaker 3 (01:53:20):
You better brief me on the power murder. Well, all
we've got is in the next room.

Speaker 25 (01:53:25):
Have a look.

Speaker 3 (01:53:29):
Here's some photographs taken at the murder scene.

Speaker 2 (01:53:35):
Stabbed in the back, I'm belt in the shirt twisted though.
Poul must have put up a fight before.

Speaker 1 (01:53:41):
He went down.

Speaker 3 (01:53:42):
He fought all right, took up his wrench.

Speaker 2 (01:53:46):
Yeah, in bloodstains and a few matted hairs are it's
the same wrench that was next to the body, and
the photos the same one. Power must have hit somebody
with him before he was killed. Then it looks that way.
That means two or more men ganged up on him.
He dropped one with the wrench and then the other
one stabbed him. That's the way I see it. Blood
on the wrenchman type. Yeah, here's a report from the

(01:54:09):
lamb at.

Speaker 1 (01:54:09):
Austin type brown hair coccasion mayle.

Speaker 3 (01:54:17):
My cromoda measurements are there too. And that's all we've got, Jess.

Speaker 2 (01:54:21):
How about a list of undesirables hanging out and killman?

Speaker 11 (01:54:24):
Oh yeah, I got that too. Here mostly if headed crooks,
gamblers and musclemen. Our boys run a few out and
new ones come in.

Speaker 2 (01:54:35):
It must be one man at the top, though usually is.
But which one? And a few possibilities on your list?

Speaker 21 (01:54:41):
Here?

Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
This one starts Tracy.

Speaker 3 (01:54:44):
No, No, it's not big enough to be given the orders.

Speaker 2 (01:54:47):
Does he know you by sight?

Speaker 11 (01:54:49):
Now? I just know a few of these names by
reputation and photos. Now here's another battle herb infield.

Speaker 1 (01:54:56):
Yeah, I heard about him too, plenty supposed to be
a real in their.

Speaker 2 (01:55:00):
Own It's tougher than the back end of a shooting gallery.

Speaker 3 (01:55:03):
Yeah, and he's not smart enough to cover up for himself.

Speaker 11 (01:55:06):
The only other possible boss I can see is this one,
Frankie janiro Uh huh. You got lots of arrests and
a couple of indictments, no convictions on the surfaces, records clean.
He always has an alibi and it always stands up.
I guess I better get started, right. We'll go over
to the barracks and I'll introduce you to Steve Clark.

Speaker 3 (01:55:28):
You want to change your clothes anyhow?

Speaker 25 (01:55:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:55:33):
The first job is to locate the keen in, find
out who's making the wheels. Turn. We can put our
badges on again and move in with a horse, and
a whole company will be standing by. You better warn
the rangers in town not to let on. They know
me well, they've been warned. You'll be treated just like
a stranger. You have anything to report, contact me directly,
but be careful. And you better leave your car outside

(01:55:54):
the town and just meandering on horses our folks, Yeah,
just a couple of wandering books.

Speaker 1 (01:56:09):
I met Steve Clark.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
We dressed like a couple of cow pokes and parked
our car outside of Kilmen. It was almost midnight when
we rode in. The town was sprawled all over the map,
dotted with trailers and food shacks thrown together from tin
and old packing crates. Despite the hour, everything was going
to cool glass.

Speaker 3 (01:56:28):
Sure's boom and Jason.

Speaker 2 (01:56:30):
Yeah, the hotel down the ways looks especially lastly. But
that isn't legal liquor they're taking on around here.

Speaker 3 (01:56:36):
I bet there is much of anything here that is legal.

Speaker 2 (01:56:39):
You know, a bunch of oil trucks coming through. You
better get out of the way. Get over charcoal, come.

Speaker 20 (01:56:44):
On, oil oils.

Speaker 2 (01:56:48):
It seems to me that it's kind of late for
him to be haul and oil ought to be a
daytime operation.

Speaker 3 (01:56:53):
Might be a shortage of trucks, Jays. Everything has to
be hauled, no flipelines or the refineries. Yet, I think
it might be high.

Speaker 2 (01:57:00):
Maybe we don't know why Joe Pownell was killed, but
if somebody had been stealing his oil and I'll found
out about it, we'd have a pretty good motive.

Speaker 3 (01:57:09):
Yeah, if those trucks are holding stolen oil, they're being
pretty open about it.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
Oh oh boy, listen to that racket. Yeah, it's being
pretty open about everything around there. Come on, Clark, let's
get us a room, and I want to call it
captain and find out about these night riding trucks. Any

(01:57:38):
plan we had about staying at the hotel was cut
short by the desk clerk that wasn't a room available.

Speaker 1 (01:57:43):
In the town.

Speaker 2 (01:57:44):
We hung around for about an hour before we found
a rancher who told us we could bunk down in
the loft of its barn outside.

Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
Of the town, saying, that mess up isn't going to
be easy, Jason, It's.

Speaker 2 (01:57:54):
Going to be even trough than it, Luks Clark as
what happened when the sheriff and one of the rangers
they know walked man.

Speaker 3 (01:58:00):
Yeah, all the gambles stopped five minutes before they got there,
and all the liquor disappeared. Whoever's running that place knew
they were coming.

Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
I don't wonder our men haven't been able to get
any place.

Speaker 3 (01:58:09):
We could have stopped that place from operating. Jase, we
saw what was going on.

Speaker 2 (01:58:12):
I wouldn't do any good to show a badge and
shut down one spot. We got to shut them all first.
We got to hook them all together. Yeah, I guess
you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:58:22):
Hey, look over there, roadside phone blew by that gas station.
You're still gonna call Captain Stinsons. Yeah, it's a good
spot stations. Whoa, I'll take the horses back off the
road and away.

Speaker 2 (01:58:38):
I got through the Captain Stinson at this home. What
he had to say about the trucks wasn't encouraging.

Speaker 25 (01:58:43):
Yes, jeez, we've had reports on the trucks were running
every night.

Speaker 2 (01:58:47):
Have our men ever stopped any of them?

Speaker 25 (01:58:49):
Is if it seemed to be all right?

Speaker 20 (01:58:51):
Jeez.

Speaker 25 (01:58:52):
They have receipts for everything they're carrying, and the trucks
are properly licensed.

Speaker 1 (01:58:56):
I still can't see why they're running at night.

Speaker 25 (01:58:58):
Neither can eye, but there's no law against it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:00):
As the Commission set a limit on the number of
barrels each well can pumping a day.

Speaker 25 (01:59:04):
Is each well is allowed three hundred barrels a day
as long as the present pressure holds have.

Speaker 2 (01:59:09):
The operator has been accounting for that much oil each day.

Speaker 25 (01:59:12):
Yes, the Commission keeps a careful chick. Operators report production
of three hundred a day. The trucking company receipts you'll
hauling you three hundred a day, and the figures at
the refinery is tally too.

Speaker 3 (01:59:24):
It's a three way check.

Speaker 25 (01:59:25):
Jeez, I don't see how they can beat it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:27):
I'm still convinced that Powell's death has something to do with.

Speaker 25 (01:59:30):
Hot oil, and I can't help you there, Jaz, it's
swalling you a lamp.

Speaker 2 (01:59:34):
I'm hoping to match the hair the lab found on
that wrench power used, but I need a motive to
narrow down the field. Twelve thousand people in town, make
a lot of suspects, or do the best you can.
I will. I'm sending you a list of names men
we spotted running gambling games and selling liquor at the hotel.
We'll have to let them run for a while till
we move in with a big broom.

Speaker 25 (01:59:54):
We raised dust whenever you were ready.

Speaker 2 (02:00:02):
Three days I left Steve Clark wandering around town spotting
the rackets while I rode through the oil field at night,
striking up casual conversations with the pumpers wherever I saw
with the night riding trucks load up and leave hardy.

Speaker 20 (02:00:16):
Well, howdy, a little bit off your trail? Ain't you
a coppo?

Speaker 2 (02:00:23):
Just riding around wishing some of this landa's mine, and
we all wishing the same thing.

Speaker 20 (02:00:29):
They're just gonna have a doughnut a little.

Speaker 3 (02:00:31):
Coffee here, Want to come there? If your friends on
the truck didn't drink it all us. They're always in
too much of a hurry. Yeah, you can tie a
horse to the derek there, he'll be all right.

Speaker 2 (02:00:42):
Thanks, hey on, Thanks, Yeah, at a funny hour for
making oil pickups?

Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
What makes some holes so late? Always take a full load?
Huh huh?

Speaker 20 (02:01:00):
A hundred barrels a clip. That's a full time truck.

Speaker 2 (02:01:04):
Now field storage tanks hold a thousand barrels each, don't they?

Speaker 20 (02:01:08):
Uh?

Speaker 25 (02:01:10):
Don't I?

Speaker 3 (02:01:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:01:11):
Thanks?

Speaker 2 (02:01:19):
I checked with a few more pumpers than rode out
to the barn where Clark and I were bunking.

Speaker 20 (02:01:23):
I woke him up.

Speaker 3 (02:01:24):
Oh, voted Jase, what time is it?

Speaker 2 (02:01:28):
Almost six? What'd you find out?

Speaker 20 (02:01:31):
I'm stretched here.

Speaker 3 (02:01:33):
They got another flock of names you can send out
on the captain.

Speaker 2 (02:01:36):
Yeah, yeah, we got just about every small time hood
staked out everything but the headman.

Speaker 7 (02:01:44):
Jace.

Speaker 20 (02:01:45):
I'm not so sure there is a head man.

Speaker 3 (02:01:46):
There's gotta be.

Speaker 2 (02:01:47):
All the racketeers stick to their own game and their
own part of town. They're all protected by the same muscleman. Yeah, so,
so they belong to an organization. Otherwise they'd be fighting
among themselves, trying to move in on each other.

Speaker 3 (02:02:01):
Didn't think of that.

Speaker 1 (02:02:02):
Dipping a finger in the oil business here too, I'd
swear to it.

Speaker 2 (02:02:05):
And that's big. We find the man. On top of that,
we'll have the King Kennedy entire operation.

Speaker 3 (02:02:11):
Well, I'll keep looking around, Jess.

Speaker 2 (02:02:12):
No, No, let the town go for a while. From
now on, we'll concentrate on the wheels. When we get
the man responsible for killing Powell, a whole thing will
tumble like a house of cards.

Speaker 15 (02:02:33):
You are listening to tales of the Texas Rangers starring
Joel McCrae as Ranger Jase Pearson. Beginning one week from tomorrow,
that's Sunday, October eight, Tales of the Texas Rangers will be.

Speaker 2 (02:02:46):
Heard at a new time.

Speaker 15 (02:02:48):
Remember our next show is Sunday, October eight, one week
from tomorrow. Now we continue with tonight's case clean Up,
an authentic story from the files of the Texas Strangers.

Speaker 2 (02:03:10):
We stick ourselves out of the Powells wells for two days.
We kept check around the clock on every load of oil.
It was all the way watching from a distance. It
was a dead end watch.

Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
It checks out Jase four wells, three hundred bears each
per day, twelve hundred varl total, and that's what they've
hauled away.

Speaker 2 (02:03:28):
Yeah, but since we've been here, nothing's been hauled from
Powell's wells. At night, We're going to keep watching them
just for the night so we can measure the flow
from the wells. You can keep the pumper busy for
a while at nine o'clock while I run a tape
gauge into the storage tank.

Speaker 3 (02:03:40):
You don't have to check them again later.

Speaker 2 (02:03:41):
Yeah, I'll wander up and keep the pumper busy around
three am. Then you can make the second check. Compare
our figures, and we don't know if those wells are
really choked for three hundred barrels each or if they're
pumping more in the legal quota. Okay, Jay, let's hope
it works. We made the check, but we didn't have

(02:04:06):
to do much figuring the wells. We're on the nose
three hundred barrels a day each. How to drop more?

Speaker 3 (02:04:14):
Ah, that's it is, and the refinery reports show that
it's all going through. There's no hot oil to be
accounted for.

Speaker 2 (02:04:20):
Well, it was a thought.

Speaker 1 (02:04:22):
Let's get the horses and turn in.

Speaker 3 (02:04:23):
Yeah, yes, Paul just happened to brush somebody the wrong way. Yeah,
an oral angle with the hell plenty too bad.

Speaker 2 (02:04:31):
Hey, wait a minute, it's a car coming.

Speaker 25 (02:04:34):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (02:04:35):
Yeah, you've turned up the road tow that rigging over
That riggan isn't lit, nobody's working.

Speaker 6 (02:04:40):
There was a dry hole.

Speaker 3 (02:04:41):
Get a hole. Yeah, his likes will sweep this way
when he turns. Hey stopped at the dry hole, all right?

Speaker 1 (02:04:51):
Yeah, and look hows pumpers walking across the field to
meet him.

Speaker 3 (02:04:54):
Yeah, they're going up to the knowledge house on the rig.

Speaker 2 (02:04:57):
It's a funny place. To be holding a meeting at
this time of night. It's just since they don't want
to be seen. And Pumper knows more, and he told us,
come on, what's the plan. Yes, maybe we can slip
under the platform and the rigging without them seeing us.
We can get under the knowledge house. We may learn
a few things through the floorboards, crept through the Muney

(02:05:23):
channel and drained into the slush pit. We got under
the knowledge house. We were hidden, but we could hear
them bucks.

Speaker 7 (02:05:29):
Who stopped making pickups again tomorrow night?

Speaker 44 (02:05:32):
Here?

Speaker 7 (02:05:33):
Why not unless you think you're gonna take I can't
do it.

Speaker 3 (02:05:37):
You know, palchees the joke before before?

Speaker 7 (02:05:40):
Or is that accident?

Speaker 25 (02:05:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:05:43):
All right, so how can I get any ore?

Speaker 25 (02:05:46):
Well for only pumpa regular.

Speaker 7 (02:05:47):
Quoters have the chokes changed again, so they pump a
little likes I can.

Speaker 20 (02:05:51):
I love Miss Pale's okay, I'm working for her.

Speaker 40 (02:05:54):
Now.

Speaker 7 (02:05:54):
Maybe you didn't hear me I said change a choke.

Speaker 25 (02:05:58):
Oh I'm a freeze star.

Speaker 3 (02:06:00):
Must be stunts, Tracy Jason.

Speaker 13 (02:06:01):
Yeah, do you look at me like that?

Speaker 20 (02:06:03):
Stuts? You know I'm on the spot.

Speaker 7 (02:06:05):
Let's send you. We've got the operators in this bead
lined up. We don't intend to have any trouble with
a wise guy.

Speaker 6 (02:06:11):
Pumpern don't read a minute, starts read a minute?

Speaker 7 (02:06:15):
What you just to make you think that's only a sample?
Maybe you'd like what Paul got. I don't talk like that, stuts.

Speaker 2 (02:06:25):
I'll do what you say.

Speaker 3 (02:06:26):
Just tell me what you want me to do.

Speaker 7 (02:06:27):
I've already told you. The trucks will rolled tomorrow night. Yeah, don't.
Isn't fun it all, don't forget it?

Speaker 3 (02:06:37):
Yeah, tomorrow. He knows what happened to Paul Jason. Let's
grab him. Help, No, stay down. He's not the head man.

Speaker 1 (02:06:44):
And I wonder why we haven't been seeing him around.

Speaker 3 (02:06:47):
I wish I could have gotten a look at his face.
His voice sounded for me.

Speaker 1 (02:06:51):
Man, you've seen monk shots of them, the photos we have.

Speaker 3 (02:06:53):
He a fella with the broken nose.

Speaker 1 (02:06:55):
That's right. Have you seen him around?

Speaker 25 (02:06:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (02:06:58):
I think I have.

Speaker 1 (02:07:02):
I'm first leave, all right?

Speaker 3 (02:07:05):
How about it?

Speaker 1 (02:07:06):
You've seen stunts?

Speaker 20 (02:07:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:07:07):
I want need to stay. After Nord at the hotel,
he was talking to Frankie Gennaro.

Speaker 1 (02:07:10):
That's the first time either of us has seen him
since we've been here.

Speaker 20 (02:07:13):
I heard him talking to Gennaro. He said he'd been
up to Big d in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (02:07:16):
What was he up there for? Well, that wasn't mentioned.

Speaker 3 (02:07:18):
They didn't talk much. All I know was that Stutch
just got back. He'd been gone two weeks.

Speaker 2 (02:07:23):
Come on, we can get out of here now.

Speaker 1 (02:07:28):
Going in two weeks?

Speaker 22 (02:07:29):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (02:07:30):
In other words, since Powell got killed?

Speaker 3 (02:07:32):
Hey, what do you make out of that? Jason?

Speaker 2 (02:07:34):
Maybe he doesn't know just something about Powell's murder. I
got to hunt you was in on it. Howarll plipped
one of his attackers with that pipe branch? Remember, must
have left the mark.

Speaker 3 (02:07:42):
And if Stut's had that buck, he wouldn't hang around
and give people a chance to notice it.

Speaker 2 (02:07:46):
Because Eddie, two weeks had just to be about long
enough for a scar that he'l over. We've got to
get a sample of Stut's hair.

Speaker 1 (02:07:52):
To match with a hair sample's lap got off that wrench.

Speaker 3 (02:07:54):
But how do we get that.

Speaker 2 (02:07:55):
You can get our hands on a comb or brush,
anything he's used on his head. We've got to find
him that. He may have headed back to the hotel
that's a favorite hangar, and we'll try it on the
way into town. I want to call the captain. Yeah,
come on, charpo, come on, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (02:08:12):
What are you gonna call the captain? Fall?

Speaker 2 (02:08:15):
Find out who owns the trucks haul in the oil
and what refinery they're going to see if we can
hook the ownership up with any of the people we've
been watching here. Why because records have been falsified to
cover that hot oil. We find out who's changing them,
and we'll know whose Stuts is working for and who
killed Powell.

Speaker 20 (02:08:32):
Jay's hot oil won't prove murder.

Speaker 19 (02:08:33):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:08:34):
Once we linked Stuts as an accomplice and the murder,
I got a feeling he'll squeal like a big cart
under a gate. I made my call to Captain Stintson.
He arranged to have the trucks followed and the ownership check.
Then Cark and I headed to the hotel where business
was going on as usual.

Speaker 3 (02:08:57):
There he is Jason at the contre using as a bar.

Speaker 2 (02:09:00):

What is it?

Speaker 2 (02:12:42):
Just a couple of hairs. One on the left came
from your hat. We borrowed it last night. What's the idea?
The hair on the right is just like it, exactly
like it. That came from a bloody wrench we found
beside the body of Joe Powell. Paul hit you with
that wrench, Stuts, and then you killed him.

Speaker 3 (02:12:59):
Huh.

Speaker 20 (02:13:00):
I was never even near them.

Speaker 2 (02:13:01):
That hair and the scar on your head proves you were.

Speaker 20 (02:13:04):
But I didn't kill him.

Speaker 3 (02:13:29):
You gotta protect me. There's there's a cabin a pass
the red seat on the other side of the oil field.
That's where he's been living. He'll have a clear view
of the road up there, Jason.

Speaker 2 (02:13:39):
We won't use the road. We're right up behind is
Enfield there too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:13:44):
Yeah, they're always together, Jase.

Speaker 3 (02:13:46):
They might not even know we moved in on the town.

Speaker 2 (02:13:49):
They'll know soon.

Speaker 3 (02:14:00):
Yeah, there's a cabin chase, pretty fancy.

Speaker 45 (02:15:02):
You're going at a dude, your fellas mind telling me
what you think you got on.

Speaker 1 (02:15:10):
Well, let's start with a killing of Joe Powell.

Speaker 45 (02:15:16):
I can prove I was someplace else when Paul Is
killed Urban Stuts and I were playing cards with three
other men all night long.

Speaker 2 (02:15:24):
Not this time, Genetta. I mean, we've already proven where
Stuts was and he's made a full confession. There'll be
no alibis this time. Don't move, Gennaro, we got Rentvie.

Speaker 20 (02:15:37):
We don't want to fight.

Speaker 2 (02:15:39):
Fool around with a gun. Herb knife in the back
is your specialty.

Speaker 20 (02:15:45):
Glad to see you know that I didn't killed Paul.

Speaker 3 (02:15:48):
Sure, Gennaro, you're the boy with the brains. You don't
do the work, you order it.

Speaker 20 (02:15:53):
That's something you can't prove.

Speaker 2 (02:15:55):
No, you don't think Herb is going to take all
the blame.

Speaker 25 (02:15:59):
Do you gonna set me up to No?

Speaker 3 (02:16:04):
I want a lawyer.

Speaker 1 (02:16:05):
I can understand that I never saw a fellow and
needed one more.

Speaker 25 (02:16:09):
All right, get.

Speaker 11 (02:16:10):
Moved, Frankie, Gennaro and Herbnfield were sentenced to life terms
at Huntsville Steps. Tracey was given fifty years, and lesser

(02:16:32):
offenders and the Killmen cleanup were given sentences up from
one to five years.

Speaker 7 (02:16:37):
Those who were released.

Speaker 11 (02:16:38):

Eighth, Three Times Mean Good Times on NBC Next Saturday.
At this time, Dennis Day returns to the air. Dennis
Day's comedy is always refreshing because he appears so timid

(02:18:36):
and bewildered. But one thing that doesn't bewildered Dennis is
how to sing a popular ballad or rhythmical Nowaday, So
for comedy and songs, It's Dennis Day at this time
next Saturday. That day also marks the return of The

was going on on CBS at NBC on this date.
The following weeks, we as they mentioned, Joel McCrae would

(02:19:59):
move to Sunday, still trying to find some star power
for that Sunday night time slot that was taken over
by you know when Jack, Benny Amos and Andy, Charlie
McCarthy and Red Skelton went to CBS. But you had
over on NBC. You had the one thousand dollars reward,

(02:20:24):
you had Bill and Alice going head to head with

the Theater Guild on the air.

Speaker 1 (02:20:34):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (02:20:35):
That's what was going on. And the it's harder for
me to give you the uh the Saturday because well, yeah,
I can't really get that for you but let's see.
If I don't think I can, because I gotta go.
I gotta do the New York version because there was

(02:20:56):
no version that I had otherwise. Let's see what we

your Hit Parade. That was the big, big show. And
then we're going head to head with Gangbusters on CBS,
so those are big shows. Alrighty, let's wrap it up.
We'll have go out and see what's going on in
New York City with Claudie and David. Next.

Speaker 46 (02:21:46):
Food should be ration carefully since it might have to
last as long as two weeks under heavy fallout conditions.
If fallout particles should settle on your supplies, you can
eliminate the danger by simply removing the particles by us
everyday household methods of washing, wiping, or peeling. If the
food is in cans or jars, just wipe the top

(02:22:08):
off before opening with packaged foods, just tear off the wrappers.
With leafy vegetables like lettuce, simply remove the outer leaves
that contain fallout particles.

Speaker 4 (02:22:20):
And that's why you need to do that. Don't even
worry about atomic weaponry. Having two weak food supply is
wise for everybody. You never know when the supply chain
might shut down again. All right, Claudia, And here we
go with this episode. And this is what the second episode. Yes,
it is the second episode of the syndicated series. This

(02:22:44):
was broadcast on the thirtieth day of September nineteen forty seven.

Not so bad, isn't it isn't what a wonderful morning?

Speaker 20 (02:23:54):

Speaker 23 (02:23:54):
Why shall I be so sleepy?

Speaker 1 (02:23:56):
Wat to betterly?

Speaker 47 (02:23:58):
I'd much rather be sleepy than not go, wouldn't you?

Speaker 1 (02:24:01):
I'll tell you soon as I wake up.

Speaker 47 (02:24:03):
Being married certainly is comfortable?

Speaker 1 (02:24:07):
Is that the best you can say for it?

Speaker 47 (02:24:09):
And so awfully nice?

Speaker 1 (02:24:11):
That's better.

Speaker 47 (02:24:12):
Wonder if mama's up?

Speaker 1 (02:24:14):
Why should she be up this early?

Speaker 47 (02:24:16):
You know, David, I never thought it would be like this,
so natural and everything.

Speaker 1 (02:24:22):
Speak to an old married woman of two weeks.

Speaker 47 (02:24:25):
Two weeks in one day. That's when it either takes
or doesn't take.

Speaker 3 (02:24:29):
We took.

Speaker 47 (02:24:30):
You know what I like best about it? There's always
somebody to talk to, even in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (02:24:35):
Well, go on, I'm listening, and I like seeing you
with your hair.

Speaker 47 (02:24:39):
Must makes you look just like my son.

Speaker 20 (02:24:42):
Missus?

Speaker 1 (02:24:42):
Nothing? My first husband and your last?

Speaker 23 (02:24:45):
I trust that goes without saying?

Speaker 47 (02:24:48):
Godny, what do you like best about it?

Speaker 23 (02:24:50):
Marriage? I mean, mm.

Speaker 3 (02:24:53):
You?

Speaker 23 (02:24:54):
I wish I'd thought to say that.

Speaker 1 (02:24:57):
Well, this isn't getting me to the offic.

Speaker 47 (02:25:00):
I think offices should close after a person marries.

Speaker 1 (02:25:03):
Well, how long would you say?

Speaker 3 (02:25:04):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:25:05):
Three months seems reasonable. See what I can do about it? Well,

Speaker 47 (02:25:13):
Two weeks and I'm on my own. Don't you know
I got married so I could cling.

Speaker 23 (02:25:17):
You wouldn't know how what I intend to learn?

Speaker 1 (02:25:19):
Not now? Please, I've got to get dressed, all right.

Speaker 47 (02:25:22):
I'll start breakfast.

Speaker 23 (02:25:24):
David, m it's always going to be like this, Isn't
it so perfect? David?

Speaker 47 (02:25:30):
I couldn't bear it if anything changed.

Speaker 9 (02:25:33):
Everything changes. Don't say that, Bloodia, look at me. Yes,
we change all the time in middle ways. Things around
us changed too. We've got to expect that. Then all
of a sudden something comes along that we don't expect. David,
don't talk like that, and we've got to accept that too.

Speaker 1 (02:25:56):
That's life, darling.

Speaker 47 (02:25:58):
Oh how do we get on this subject so early
in the morning?

Speaker 3 (02:26:01):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:26:02):
How did we?

Speaker 19 (02:26:03):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:26:03):
What does a man have to do around here to
get two boiled eggs?

Speaker 28 (02:26:06):
Consider them?

Speaker 23 (02:26:07):
Fly?

Speaker 1 (02:26:07):
I said?

Speaker 28 (02:26:07):
Boiled?

Speaker 8 (02:26:08):
Oh?

Speaker 47 (02:26:09):
Where'd I put my bathroom?

Speaker 20 (02:26:10):
Do you see it?

Speaker 8 (02:26:10):
David?

Speaker 23 (02:26:11):
Hey, look in the closet?

Speaker 20 (02:26:12):
Will you.

Speaker 25 (02:26:14):
Not here?

Speaker 23 (02:26:15):
Can I wear yours?

Speaker 1 (02:26:17):
Well? Don't make a practice of it? Hey, what about
those eggs?

Speaker 23 (02:26:20):
I'm going now? Gee, I didn't know you were so big, David.

Speaker 47 (02:26:24):
You must be about size forty.

Speaker 1 (02:26:26):
Eight, only forty four? Why don't you like it?

Speaker 20 (02:26:28):
I love it?

Speaker 47 (02:26:35):
Good morning is brah Mama? Where is that woman?

Speaker 23 (02:26:45):
Mama, David, she's gone out.

Speaker 28 (02:26:48):
What Mama's gone out?

Speaker 47 (02:26:50):
The sofa is all made up? David, Where do you
think she went? What's the matter?

Speaker 1 (02:26:56):
Oh, you do look silly in that. I couldn't find
thee Now I can't find.

Speaker 23 (02:27:01):
You, David, what do you suppose?

Speaker 1 (02:27:02):
Where do you think she went out? You said so yourself?
Were what four for the air?

Speaker 47 (02:27:06):
Probably Mama doesn't like the air.

Speaker 1 (02:27:08):
Maybe she likes it better than having breakfast with us.

Speaker 23 (02:27:11):
But we're so nice.

Speaker 9 (02:27:12):
I guess she just doesn't appreciate us. Hey, don't bother
about the eggs, Darling. I'm getting later by the minute.

Speaker 47 (02:27:17):
Oh, Mamma left everything ready.

Speaker 1 (02:27:19):
She did, wonderful woman. She probably asked for a raid. Probably,
come on, then, let's eat. I'll finish dressing later.

Speaker 12 (02:27:27):
Good.

Speaker 47 (02:27:27):
I'm starving too.

Speaker 1 (02:27:28):
I never saw such a girl in my life. You're
always starving?

Speaker 23 (02:27:31):
Is that bad?

Speaker 1 (02:27:34):
Well, it's inconvenient at the time. Shove over, I'll make
the toe.

Speaker 47 (02:27:38):

Fine, see you said only around the edges.

Speaker 3 (02:27:48):
Let me see how do I do that?

Speaker 1 (02:27:50):
That, my dear, is your problem.

Speaker 47 (02:27:52):
Say do you think you have special kinds of toasters
for that?

Speaker 1 (02:27:55):
Probably shop around?

Speaker 47 (02:27:56):
We like ours burnt in the middle, not me.

Speaker 1 (02:27:59):
I told you only around the edges, like hempsteache.

Speaker 23 (02:28:02):
Oh, you're very difficult.

Speaker 1 (02:28:03):
I work at it fussy too. What's more, I am
proud of it.

Speaker 23 (02:28:07):
I love you anyway, David.

Speaker 47 (02:28:11):
Breakfasts are wonderful, aren't they.

Speaker 47 (02:28:32):
You know, this is the first time I've ever gotten
breakfast for a strange man.

Speaker 1 (02:28:36):
I think this is the first time you've ever gotten
breakfast period.

Speaker 23 (02:28:40):
I didn't get it.

Speaker 20 (02:28:41):
Mama got it?

Speaker 47 (02:28:44):
Maybe that's her she?

Speaker 23 (02:28:46):
Are you still eating? I thought you'd be true by now.

Speaker 47 (02:28:49):
Not a decent word to say to us. Can't you
say good morning?

Speaker 23 (02:28:51):
I was just coming to that. Good morning, Good morning,

No, Well, now that we've taught you some man, sit down, Mama,
don't talk so much.

reminds me. Where were you, missus Brown, before breakfast?
