Speaker 1 (00:00):
M hm, that just me ends of the shadow. Kay,
(00:51):
poor cows better downs than I. Oh hey, come home
here a minute, will you go work? Come wrong? Yeah? No,
here seems to a very it's like a barbed bar table. Yeah,
you're right, does look like barb bar. There's no barbed
wire where this animal has been. Why like that on
(01:11):
your property? Missed forward over south road. Yeah that's right.
This animal hasn't been in the south pastures for months.
She's one of the animals I'm keeping up near the
barn rooming for the stock show next month. Yeah, I
know she is. You haven't let her get out accidentally,
have you? Hang well, I know what you're sure, Hank, Yes, sir,
(01:35):
you said you want all animals you brought in, all
the range kept inside the wooden fences. You're with the boss.
I wouldn't let any up near any barbar. It's mighty funny.
I can't figure out no other way she could have
heard her leg like that. I mean either they're pretty
bad too deep. Yeah it is, and I'll never be
(01:57):
able to shore her with her leg like this. Sure
too bad, mister Ford. He's a nice animal too, one
of the best. I was coming on her boosting my
score at the show, saying you don't suppose the car
could have done it, do you? Macarak? Sure, he's pretty
hard hit for good show animals this year I had
to sell all quite a few to praise mortgage. You
meet the taxes, I know, but Macarg's always been a
(02:18):
good friend of mine. He wouldn't do a thing like that.
He might he thought it might help him at stock
show moves that pize money pretty bad. But Macarg's a
stock raiser from way back. He couldn't hurt a prize
animal if he had to. Funny thing what some men
will do for money, mister cot Look, hey, I won't
have you talking like that. Well, I was just saying
that Macarg's a good friend of mine. I'd done him
(02:41):
several favors lately. He wouldn't repay me by injuring one
of my animals. Well, well, I know she couldn't have
cut her leg like that around the coral with me
like was done purposely. There. Better clean out that cut
and wrapped up. Yeah, fetch me that disinfected some of
those clean rags from the two yes, saying sure, yes,
(03:02):
something I don't hear mm in the stall. Yeah, here
on the shell. What are they doing here? I don't know.
This bottle is always kept in the chest at the
end of the barn marsh. Have you been treating this animal? No?
I mean I didn't know she was hurt. You told
me some other animal then, No, of course not. Didn't
(03:26):
you respect them all the night? Yeah? I did. This
is the only cottage hurt. What's this disinfectant in these
clean rags doing here? I just don't know much fuller.
I put that bottle away myself. Last week I treated
a horse. I haven't used it since. I haven't used
more than a month. I guess somebody did injure this
(03:46):
animal then tried to treat it here in its stall.
Must have been frightened away before he could use the medicine,
but it would purposely cut its leg and then try
to treat it. I don't know, No need the guy,
Wait a minute, what's this? Look? Look here? What it's
a short link of bob water with blood on it.
(04:09):
That you're right was hiding under the straw. I just
happened to pick it up with my fust muster men.
In that last load of straw we brought in. It
must have laid down on the cutter leg. Not that deep, Hank.
There's been dirty work around here. Here. Hold these rags,
fix up this leg? Yeah, sure, easy now there, just
(04:29):
take it easy. Better stand back, Hank. She's about to
get a little excited when Hank, what's the idea? Don't move,
mister Feller? That gun put it away? Hot on your life,
bucky from me. Your foot didn't kick it out from
the straw too? You you did this, I ain, don't
(04:52):
deny it. Yes, igh into the animal. I hit the
bob wire beneath the straw, and this gun too, to
make it handy, Hank, and I put the different faction
here in the stall so you'd work on the cut
and i'd have you right here. What I want here?
And why? Why? Why you mean you don't know? I
(05:12):
certainly don't. Cause you won't give Martha what she wants
the wife, missus Fuller, give her what she wants, divorce, divorce.
I'll stop your pretending. Why she's never asked me for
a divorce, he has a dozen times. What makes you
think so call me? Told you? I told you to
stop pretending. You know she wants to marry me? What
(05:38):
don't act so amazed? I am amazed. I'm glad to
know about this. You've known about it for a long time.
I assure you that I haven't no good acting that way,
mister Fuller, You've had a lot of fun, haven't you?
Letting me go on like this working for you for peanuts,
(06:00):
calling your mister, doing all your dirty work around the farm.
You've been well paid. I've never asked you to do
anything that I wouldn't do myself. Well, I'm putting an
end to all of it right now, Hank, gimme that
gun knocked on your life. You can't shoot me in
cold blood. They'll get you, not me. They'll never know
and they find me with a bullet in me, Hank,
they'll never find a bullet in you. They'll never bother
(06:23):
to look the one. Don't you remember this cow? It's
a good look Anna. You remember last fall when my
card shot gun accidentally went off near how she almost
trampled him to death. No one shot fella through your
heart with the time that animals hoops have done. The marshal,
(06:45):
he'll never recognize you when they pull you out of
a store. You can't do that. They'll never bother to
look for a bullet.

What she so low for? I don't know. She's too low.
It's wrong with her. Good lord, she's on fire fire, Yes,
a massive plane falling, falling, holling, falling, falling, even wake
(11:21):
up falling. She exploded in midair and now she's falling
even hmm.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Hunt Stephen, you've been having a night in the screaming
at the top of your lungs about something falling.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
The plane plane the night plain to New York. What
about it?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
She was low, too low, she was in planes exploded
in midair.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
The plane did go over just as you began to
scream in your sleep.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I see the clock. Yes, she goes over at the
same time each night, and she was extra load of night.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
The motors rawfully loud, close. Yes, but there was no explosion.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Dream. It's so real.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Oh, you gotta go back to sleep, dear.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But that wasn't all of the dream.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Oh, you can tell me all about it in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, that wasn't all.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Stephen. Where are you going?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Thanks? Room? Why no? Where's that other? Slippery here?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Thanks? Gone?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Gone? Well, he hadn't been any dad.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Oh did he tell you he was going any place? No,
that's dream. It couldn't be true, was it?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Look it about him?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, about him. We were together in the priestock barn,
letting down the animals. One of the prize cows had
cut a leg. We couldn't understand it. Because she hadn't
been near any of the pastures with barbed wire. I
(13:28):
was bringing hank up here to the baby's eyes. As
as the plane was flying over, she was too low
and she caught fire. There was that awful explosion.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
But it was all a dream.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Come on, we'll see even I'm going out to the barn.
Come along if you wish. Something tells me that it
was more than just a dream.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
See the dishes so fooly sh I tell you it
was just a dream.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Here hold this lander, but you need.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Your sleep, dear.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'll take it now, all right, come on, here's a star.
Do you bring the place life? Here? Here take the lander.
Tom found out what's wrong? The battery burned out? Oh yeah, Martha.
(14:32):
Look on her leg.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
The cut fresh cut. It needs attention.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
It's identical to the injury in my dream.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Stephen, mar she just cut herself yesterday. And you didn't know.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I always examined the prize stock in the stalls every night, Martha.
This animal was in perfect condition when we went to bed.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
A minute, and what are you doing looking through the
st by Heaven's look the short.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Length of barb wire, bloody bob wire, just like the dream.
The very same. There should be something else. Yes, here,
(15:24):
look a gun hidden here in the straw, here where
he put it? Who Hank marsh of course? Who else? Yes?
And look there on the top of the feedbox the
bottle of disinfecting some clean legs. Just like the dream.
Every bit of it is just like the dream.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You couldn't have dreamed.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
All that hidden bod wire, the cut on the cow's leg,
the hidden gun, the medicine, all the same. And this call,
she's the one that almost tramp whom the card to
death last ball when the shotgun accidentally went off.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
But surely you don't think Henry Mars planned to kill you.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yes, he planned it, worked it out carefully, very carefully.
And now his plan's no good because of that dream.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
No, Stephen, he couldn't have Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And in my dream I saw how it was all
going to work out. It was shown how I could
save myself by throwing the disinfectant into his eyes.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I tell you there's some other explanations.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Then a plane it did fly over low to night.
You said, yes, it must have got on fire, it
must have exploded.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It couldn't have. I didn't hear a thing except the motor.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You heard me screaming about it in my dream. Yes, well,
you must have been so intent upon what I was
saying that you didn't hear the noise of the explosion.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh no, that's impossible.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
It was over south of the road. Here, give me that, Lanta,
go back to the house. I'm going to.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Look for that wreckage, Stephen.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Not a sign of anything out there in the field.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I call the airport. They checked the plane. It passed
over Sheldon some time ago. That's miles from here toward
New York.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Safe. Yes, there couldn't be a mistake.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
No, the plane that passed over here while you were
dreaming is almost.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
In New York.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Now. I can't understand it. All. The rest of the
dream is true, all but the part about the plane, Oh,
just a dream. The other things, the injury to the cow,
the wire of the gun.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Didn't you say you lost your gun several months ago? Yes, yes,
I d you must have dropped it in the straw
when you stored it in the barn. It and the
wall were thrown into the cow stalled purely by accident.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
With the injury, Stephen, both of us.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Know how easily and mysteriously cows can.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Injure their labs and the disinfection.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Oh you simply left it in there in the stall
and forgot about it.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
No, I couldn't have.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, I'm going to open it, Steven.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's unlocked. Come in. Hang, golly, Holly, I'm glad you're up.
Mister Fuller, en me. It's late you.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
You haven't been in your bed tonight.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I forgot to tell you I was going to town. Oh,
mister Fuller, Well, that cow installed thirteen, she's cut her
legs ten y. Well, I just happened to look at it,
looked in and found the barn door open. And why
what's the matter, mister Fuller said? Why do you look
at me like that? Even you want me to come
(18:58):
out to the barn Hank? Why? Yeah, yes, cow's legs
pretty bad. A barbed wire cut you? You know about it?
And isn't the wire lying beneath the straw of the
stall right now? And isn't this the gun you hid
(19:19):
under the straw? How'd you find out? So it is
true your plan to kill me, plan for the animal
to trample me, and mutually no plan to mary Martha
and get my farm. I'm not wrong. You planned it together.
Only my dreams spoiled your plans. Well, now you can
be together. Now put that gunda. Well I'm going to
(19:40):
send you. You can burn together.

Yeah, I decided I need a little rest. Uh. Here
I am h. It's funny thing. I dreamed about this
plane last night. Yeh. She always passes over my farm
about midnight. Dream last night she was flying exceptionally low.
(22:12):
H h. Funny too, cause she generally gained a quite
a bit of altitude at the time she gets over
my place. Yeah, it was a queer dream thought. I
was standing out back of my house and she went
over just a little before the barn house, and then
(22:33):
she caught on fire and exploded, exploded right there in
mid air, right over my farm. Hm uh. I guess
we all have funny dreams sometimes, and this one was
sure real. It w there's my farm down there now. See.
Had a red light put on my wind and was
(22:54):

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Hunt Stephen, you've been having a night in the screaming
at the top of your lungs about something falling.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
The plane plane the night plain to New York. What
about it?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
She was low, too low, she was in planes exploded
in midair.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
The plane did go over just as you began to
scream in your sleep.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I see the clock. Yes, she goes over at the
same time each night, and she was extra load of night.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
The motors rawfully loud, close. Yes, but there was no explosion.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Dream. It's so real.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Oh, you gotta go back to sleep, dear.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But that wasn't all of the dream.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Oh, you can tell me all about it in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, that wasn't all.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Stephen. Where are you going?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Thanks? Room? Why no? Where's that other? Slippery here?

Speaker 3 (12:43):
In even But in the world's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Thanks? Gone?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Gone? Well, he hadn't been any dad.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Oh did he tell you he was going any place? No,
that's dream. It couldn't be true, was it?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Look it about him?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, about him. We were together in the priestock barn,
letting down the animals. One of the prize cows had
cut a leg. We couldn't understand it. Because she hadn't
been near any of the pastures with barbed wire. I
(13:28):
was bringing hank up here to the baby's eyes. As
as the plane was flying over, she was too low
and she caught fire. There was that awful explosion.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
But it was all a dream.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Come on, we'll see even I'm going out to the barn.
Come along if you wish. Something tells me that it
was more than just a dream.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
See the dishes so fooly sh I tell you it
was just a dream.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Here hold this lander, but you need.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Your sleep, dear.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'll take it now, all right, come on, here's a star.
Do you bring the place life? Here? Here take the lander.
Tom found out what's wrong? The battery burned out? Oh yeah, Martha.
(14:32):
Look on her leg.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
The cut fresh cut. It needs attention.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
It's identical to the injury in my dream.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Stephen, mar she just cut herself yesterday. And you didn't know.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I always examined the prize stock in the stalls every night, Martha.
This animal was in perfect condition when we went to bed.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
A minute, and what are you doing looking through the
st by Heaven's look the short.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Length of barb wire, bloody bob wire, just like the dream.
The very same. There should be something else. Yes, here,
(15:24):
look a gun hidden here in the straw, here where
he put it? Who Hank marsh of course? Who else? Yes?
And look there on the top of the feedbox the
bottle of disinfecting some clean legs. Just like the dream.
Every bit of it is just like the dream.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You couldn't have dreamed.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
All that hidden bod wire, the cut on the cow's leg,
the hidden gun, the medicine, all the same. And this call,
she's the one that almost tramp whom the card to
death last ball when the shotgun accidentally went off.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
But surely you don't think Henry Mars planned to kill you.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yes, he planned it, worked it out carefully, very carefully.
And now his plan's no good because of that dream.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
No, Stephen, he couldn't have Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And in my dream I saw how it was all
going to work out. It was shown how I could
save myself by throwing the disinfectant into his eyes.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I tell you there's some other explanations.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Then a plane it did fly over low to night.
You said, yes, it must have got on fire, it
must have exploded.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It couldn't have. I didn't hear a thing except the motor.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You heard me screaming about it in my dream. Yes, well,
you must have been so intent upon what I was
saying that you didn't hear the noise of the explosion.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh no, that's impossible.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
It was over south of the road. Here, give me that, Lanta,
go back to the house. I'm going to.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Look for that wreckage, Stephen.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Not a sign of anything out there in the field.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I call the airport. They checked the plane. It passed
over Sheldon some time ago. That's miles from here toward
New York.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Safe. Yes, there couldn't be a mistake.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
No, the plane that passed over here while you were
dreaming is almost.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
In New York.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Now. I can't understand it. All. The rest of the
dream is true, all but the part about the plane, Oh,
just a dream. The other things, the injury to the cow,
the wire of the gun.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Didn't you say you lost your gun several months ago? Yes, yes,
I d you must have dropped it in the straw
when you stored it in the barn. It and the
wall were thrown into the cow stalled purely by accident.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
With the injury, Stephen, both of us.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Know how easily and mysteriously cows can.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Injure their labs and the disinfection.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Oh you simply left it in there in the stall
and forgot about it.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
No, I couldn't have.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, I'm going to open it, Steven.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's unlocked. Come in. Hang, golly, Holly, I'm glad you're up.
Mister Fuller, en me. It's late you.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
You haven't been in your bed tonight.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I forgot to tell you I was going to town. Oh,
mister Fuller, Well, that cow installed thirteen, she's cut her
legs ten y. Well, I just happened to look at it,
looked in and found the barn door open. And why
what's the matter, mister Fuller said? Why do you look
at me like that? Even you want me to come
(18:58):
out to the barn Hank? Why? Yeah, yes, cow's legs
pretty bad. A barbed wire cut you? You know about it?
And isn't the wire lying beneath the straw of the
stall right now? And isn't this the gun you hid
(19:19):
under the straw? How'd you find out? So it is
true your plan to kill me, plan for the animal
to trample me, and mutually no plan to mary Martha
and get my farm. I'm not wrong. You planned it together.
Only my dreams spoiled your plans. Well, now you can
be together. Now put that gunda. Well I'm going to
(19:40):
send you. You can burn together.

(22:12):
H h. Funny too, cause she generally gained a quite
a bit of altitude at the time she gets over
my place. Yeah, it was a queer dream thought. I
was standing out back of my house and she went
over just a little before the barn house, and then
(22:33):
she caught on fire and exploded, exploded right there in
mid air, right over my farm. Hm uh. I guess
we all have funny dreams sometimes, and this one was
sure real. It w there's my farm down there now. See.
