Speaker 1 (00:09):
At the Gatherer Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Fort Laramie, Fort Laramie, starring Raymond Burr as Captain lee Quins,
especially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of
(00:58):
the wild Frontier, the saga of fighting men who rode
the rim of Empire, and the dramatic story of lee
Quin's Captain of Cavalry, Four Bells of Flower destroyed.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yes, sir, by weavels, weavels. At least it wasn't nice
this time, mister sybergs me, sir, here you are, Lieutenant,
go out the rest of it and have Sergeant Gorse
drop it off at the AQM stores. Yes, sir, Captain
quince mis sys major, Sir, only made you dagged.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Something especially interesting out that window. Or is it just
spring fever?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The quartermaster's report was a little boring this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I know, it's hard to stay indoors in a day
like this. Looks like springs really here this time.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The rivers rising, snow melting in the mountains, this warm.
We might have a flud like two years ago.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
The water comes up this high on the bluff.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Oh, the fort's safe enough, Lieutenant. Trouble comes there across
the river in the Savilian settlement.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Maybe this year it'll wash those hay ranches right out,
and then they'd.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Come right back with a new supply of whiskey. Now,
if I had my way, they'd be cleaned out for good.
I'd cut our guardhouse detail by half.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You can't blame the men too much, major, When pay
day comes around only once a month.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I suppose not. I guess i've got spring fever too.
First birds I've urt in months.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, our snowbirds will be thinking of flying too, snowbirds
winter soldiers. Every year we have a few out here,
men enlisted in the fall just to get a warm
spot for the window. Now they'll be lighting out, they'll dessert,
go on west to the goldfields.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
And this happens every year, mister Savage. It can't punish
a man before the crime is committed. Afterwards, it's usually
too late.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
They're long gone. We couldn't we go after them bring
him back. We could, but.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
We usually found more important things to do. Couldn't we
take measures to prevent it?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Any suggestions?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
I don't know exactly, sir, but perhaps warn them at
morning parade, read the penalty for desertion, double the guard.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And send patrols after the ones that slipped through.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Well, it just seemed to me.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Meanwhile, the Cheyenne and the Sioux and the crow are
feeling the spring too.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Riling there, Bud.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I see, sir, you mean there's nothing we can do. Oh,
your theory is good enough, mister Savage. I'll have the
penalty read, and as for the Indians, we'll send out
the usual spring patrols to look them over.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
This weather can't be too soon, Major, I'd say the
clear Water patrols should be the first.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I'd like to take that one. Mister Cyberchair could handle it.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Mister Cyberts could handle these quartermaster reports too. Major, I'd
probably be more useful in.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
The field on a day like this. I'd like to
be in the field too. That's the price you pay.
Why should I relieve you of your responsibility just because
you have spring fever?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
No reason, I guess, Major Diggon, all.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Right, take the clear Water patrol, Kevin Quince, Thank.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
You, Major.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
I guess i'd better finish these reports.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Sergeant Gorse, Yes, sir, yeah, I was about to send
for you.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Yes, sir, nice day, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But yes, sir, spring I'd say wouldn't you.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I reckon it is.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Cap'n Major is a little concerned about spring desertions. I
think we have any snowbirds this.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Year, maybe a few.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Like always, there been any talk, not much lately.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Some of them plan out. They like it dress parade,
the flag wave and the band playing, you know, Kevin.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Well, we'll have a few. Not much we can do
except keep our eyes open. No, I guess not.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Must be pretty up along the clear water these days,
wouldn't you say?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Mighty pretty? You might be thinking about a patrol roster.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Sergeant, when sir ready to leave before dawn tomorrow, I'll
expect your roster to recall.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I'll have it for you. Captain. We go light, make
a fast circle too. What you the trooper in mind?
I'll take care of this.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Private, Yes, oh, yes, sir. A soldier in the United
States Cavalry does not sit down on sentry duty, not
even on the lazy spring day.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
No, sir, sorry, sir. What's your name? Blant? Sir?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
How long you've been in the second six months? Sir?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
You should be a soldier by now, Blant. But look
at those boots. How long since you polished them?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And this what's this a beltzer, where's your service belt?
I lost it, sir, lost it? You ever hear of
canteen inventory? You know that everything you have is government property.
Anything you lose is charged.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
To your pay.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yes, sir, then you'd better be more careful. Private, get
a new service belt today and shine those boots. Yes, sir,
above all, don't sit down on sentry duty. No, sir,
carry on. Yes, everybody's got spring fever.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Gorst capp That fella.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Blant What about him? He was one of them, did
a lot of talk in last fall.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Uh, that's why he doesn't care about his uniform. Well,
maybe he's one we can do something about. Like what
you can put him on the clear Water patrol roster.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm too sure he's soldier in that.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It will kill a curb and we'll be able to
watch him. Yes, sir, you might try some of that
dress parade on him. Put him on flag detail at
retreat tonight and gorse, sir, see that he polishes those boots.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Honor arms.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Sergeant dismissed the company.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Come away this matt, Private bland. Yes, sir, you don't
carry the flag tucked under your arm.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
That's the emblem of your country.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Sorry, sir, I see, Sergeant goris As you're looking like
you might make a soldier. But we'll find that out
on patrol. All right, move our private. What do you think, Doris?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
I don't know, Captain, he's got all the makings except
the notion.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
He's got his mind on other things. I don't know.
We can depend on him. We might have to. No,
he might surprise your sergeant if it came to that.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Maybe. Well we'll see four am tomorrow, sergeant. Uh, goddies,
(10:23):
all president are accounted force, hugeant.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
All except once, Sir Bland. He's gone. Must have left
last night, took his horse.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Equipment real snowbird after him.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
All right, sergeant, you can't have gone very far, sir.
Maybe if we'd go through the hay ranches across the river.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
All right, stand the horse, lead out, m prepare the
mount mount lord by twos at the walk.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Oh, not much doing around here this early.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Well they're not an army time, no, sir, whiskey time.
I don't see any sign.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
There in that crowd.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Yes, served by golly, that's an army mount. Back of
old Greass.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I figured Greasy wo'd be the most likely to take
a chance. You didn't have time to get rid of
it yet, patrol.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh, gors, come on along, Yes, Jenkins, get that horse
and put him with the pack mules. Hey, hey, what's
(12:30):
going on here? What do you think you're doing?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Where'd you get that horse in your corral?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Greasy?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
What horse? You know? What horse? Where's the man who
brought it?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I don't know what you're talking about?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Backroom?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Now with him. Get out of the way, Greasy, you're
in enough trouble now, anute captain, Let.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Me explain this uniform, saddle, packed hardware, everything. You didn't
expect us so soon, did you, Greasy?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Where's the soldier you got this from? Well? He left
last night, went on west to catch up with a
wagon train went through yesterday. All right, of course, we'll
take the uniform saddle on the horse.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Leave the rest now.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Look here, I paid one hundred and fifty dollars in
an old mule for them.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
He didn't know it was stolen government property.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Didn't figure to make at least another one hundred profit
from it.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Oh, I'm bleeding for you, Greasy.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Next time, stay out of trouble and collect the reward
for deserters. Some reward twenty dollars, then take the consequences.
Come on, gorse, captain, he can't be far down the trail.
Our orders are to go on to the clear Water, Sergeant,
that's more important. But we just might circle back to
(13:45):
the trail farther up. Who knows, we might find that
wagon train.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
You was right, captain? What about sergeant? Sure is pirty
up here? It was till now?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Look up ahead? Yeah, patrol hope, well gours what do
you make of it?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Oh? It's engines, all right. I don't know what tribe.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
There was a lot of them, maybe thirty forty went
south maybe a day.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, And there was no hunting party.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
No, no, it's a raiding party for sure. We're not
too far from the Oregon Trail. Now, there'll be wagon
trains coming through even this early. We know of at
least one.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
We'll follow their trail make sure, yes, sir, but we're
all with short handed for that bigger party, and we
can warn the trains at least.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Who's got the strongest horse, Jenkins? I think?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
All right, Jenkins, Yes, sir, you get back to Laramie
as fast as you can report the major dagget. We
found a big party ask him to send b company
out along the Oregon Trail to meet us. Right, move out,
all right, course, let's go at the trot. Oh, we
(16:04):
should be getting close to the Oregon Trail, sergeant.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Sir, any time now, they would we be better.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Swait a minute, guns.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
Captain at the gallup ho, patroll Hollo.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
It's a wagon train, captain, and under attack, surrounded and
then cheyenne at least fifty Sure don't stand much chance
against that many, captain.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh, but if we surprise him, we might be able
to ride through to the wagons. Hold your fire man,
stay alone the saddle, and we'll ride straight through.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
All right, tuh boss, all through? All right, sir.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Get the horses tied inside the wagons passed, every man,
spread out fraction. Captain. We're much glad to see you.
I'm Ben Gay, leader of the train. I don't know
how much good we can do you, sir, but it
looks like we surprised him for the moment.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
He pulled off to talk it over. If your people
back of the wagons, they'll be coming in again.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
All right, boys, I get back to your place, secure, captain,
Wait a minute of gorse bland. Uh. Hello, captain.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I guess you were hoping not to see us. Yeah,
I guess I was. Ah, you're under arrest. Disarmm gorse.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
No wait, captain, I want a gun. We're gonna need
everyone here. You didn't want to fight with us, mister Blant.
Now you're not going to You'll stay back with the
women and children again. All hold your fire. Let him
get close now we fire. It will.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Three charges? How many more can we stand off? Captain?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
They won't come in again tonight getting too dark. Looks
like they're making camp tending they're wounded. We can expect
them again at done. Now they're not leaving it.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
How much we can do? Is he not much?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Can't expect b company till sometime tomorrow. We can hold
out till then. Keep a good watch course, Yes, how's
corporal James.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
You'll be all right.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
He's asleep now? Ah do you bland landed his arm?
I thought I might as well be useful, very good.
This one's all right, But Chambers over there is dead.
I see, captain. I want to come you do you're
(20:01):
out number three to one. You've got four men wounded,
one dead. I want to take his place. You didn't
want to fight with the cavalry. I was never afraid
of a fight. I just had other plans. I admit
it wasn't right, But what does it matter?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Now? We may none of us get back.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Matters to me, matters to my men, the men you
rode with, Captain. I'd made up my mind, planned it
all for so long I had.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
To go through with it. Stubbornness is a poor excuse,
mister Blant. Won't you even let me try to make
up for it?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Lance, You're going to stand trial for desertion.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I don't mean that. I mean to the men.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
We'll see Blant in the morning, Captain.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
But why wait till morning? I got an idea how
we can get out of this. It's going to be
dark tonight.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
If somebody could sneak out to those Indian horses, cut
the picket rope, stampede them. You think anybody could get
within one hundred yards of those horses and live. But
if they could, then if we were ready to move fast,
they couldn't follow us.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
We could make it back to Bridges Crossing by morning. Maybe.
And what man am I supposed to send out there?
Mister Blant?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Me? No, it's a crazy idea so crazy. I think
you were betting I wouldn't accept it.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I guess I got that coming.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
But you have to admit, even if it was true,
I was better in my life the risk it right here,
mister Blant. You go on tending the wounded about the gun.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Man.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
We'll see in the morning, Captain. Mister Gail, why don't
(22:03):
you turn in. We'll keep the watch.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
I'm leader of this wagon train, Captain, I'll stay all right.
It's kind of mesmerizing though, staring at them little fires
winking in the dark. Captain, I think we got a chance.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
If our ammunition holds out, the relief should be here
before too many hours.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
Yeah, I hope, so, I sure do hope so, Captain, Yes,
I okay, And you've seen Blants.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
No, he's gone escaped again.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I guess I wouldn't be too sure of that.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Sergeant. What do you mean, mister Gail?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
If I give the word, how quick can you hitch
all your mules two wagons, put the women and children
and one wounded.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
In the other for dey meankip.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I mean we may be getting out of here, and Captain,
something's going on over there, I know, Sergeant, get those
mules hitch.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Mister Gaye, all right, gap, and I don't understand you
will in a minute, Gorse, here it comes.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Now hold your fire. You'll hold your fire, Captain.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
It's playing.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah, it's Blant. It work, Captain, it works, stampeding them
right through the camp. It's quite a ruckus over there.
I can hear of mister blamt. We're getting ready to move.
You're not very good at a band orders, are you.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
What about that gun?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Nowcer and a horse? We might have to fight.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Yet you're still under arrest, and it's dark night.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
If you had a horse and a gun, we might
not ever see you again. That's right, sir, you might
not sageant. Gorse, sir, you'll furnish mister Blant with a
horse and car being you'll ride the rear guard. Yes, sir,
thank you, Captain. Too bad about you, Blanche. You might
have made a fair soldier if you weren't so stubborn.
All right, let's get moving.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Getting lights, sir, can see pretty good now.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Disease, sergeant, Well, no engines anyway, and that's the main thing.
Look up my head, sergeant, way, I passed the crossing. Well,
that's a column Captain. That's company b right.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Sergeant, I think we can pull up now.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Control. Oh what are we stopping for?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Captain?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
There's our relief. I've ahead, mister Gail. I'll be here
in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
We're safe now, Control, dis Mount, Pengraves, Wooden Water details,
Sergeant Gors. Everybody will be hungry as soon as ah. Hello, Bland,
(25:12):
more than captain, you lost your chance, mister Bland. Well, Sir,
the man can be stubborn just so long. True, it's
any satisfaction to you. I'm sorry now about the whole thing.
You mean you find you like the cavil, Yes, sir,
I do, Sergeant Gorse, Yes, sir. You still have that
(25:35):
uniform we picked up at Old Greases back with the
pack mules.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
You better get into it Blant before be company arrives.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
But have some objection, Private, No, serve, I don't think
anybody in his patrol will object, will lay, Sergeant Gors,
I sure don't think so.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Captain, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I'm gonna sit you in my report. I understand, sir,
for hero is him in action against the enemies. But
don't think you're going to get off Scott free. Private
there's always canteen inventory, and you've got a bad habit
of losing government property. We recovered your horse and saddle
and uniform, but the rest of it, it's going to
cost you a couple of months pay.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Yes, sir, I don't mind, sir, all right, move out.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Private, Yes, sir, Well, what are you grinning at, Gorze?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Why? Nothing, sir.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I don't think the major would approve, sergeant, but you
and I know how hard it is to find a
good soldier. Yes, sir, ah, what about those wooden water
detail sergeants, I'm hungry, yes, sir.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Captain quint.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Fort lure Me is produced and directed by Norman MacDonald
and stars Raymond Burr as Lee Quince, Captain of Cavalry,
with Vic Perrin as Sergeant Gorse. The script was specially
written for Fort Laramie by John Duncle, with sound patterns
by Bill James and Ray Kemper musical supervision by Amarigo Marino.
Featured in the cast were Jack Moyles and Harry Bartel,
(27:21):
with Paul Duba, Howard Culver, James Nusser and Joseph Cranston.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Company Tension.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Dismiss Week, another transcribed story of the Northwest Frontier and
the troopers who fought under lee Quin's Captain of Cavalry.
(28:24):
Most accidents aren't really accidental at all. Only you can
cause an accident.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
It's up to you to read and heed the safety sides,
to keep your eyes on the road, to watch out
for those curves ahead and the cars driving along near you.
Most drivers know how to operate a car. They know
the traffic rules. They know that speeding, taking chances, failing
to keep to the right of the line are dangerous hazards.
Accidents happen because drivers do these things despite what they know.
(28:53):
So while you're driving, remember that you and only you,
are responsible for your life and the lives of those
driving with you.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Drive carefully,
At the Gatherer Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Fort Laramie, Fort Laramie, starring Raymond Burr as Captain lee Quins,
especially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of
(00:58):
the wild Frontier, the saga of fighting men who rode
the rim of Empire, and the dramatic story of lee
Quin's Captain of Cavalry, Four Bells of Flower destroyed.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yes, sir, by weavels, weavels. At least it wasn't nice
this time, mister sybergs me, sir, here you are, Lieutenant,
go out the rest of it and have Sergeant Gorse
drop it off at the AQM stores. Yes, sir, Captain
quince mis sys major, Sir, only made you dagged.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Something especially interesting out that window. Or is it just
spring fever?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The quartermaster's report was a little boring this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I know, it's hard to stay indoors in a day
like this. Looks like springs really here this time.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The rivers rising, snow melting in the mountains, this warm.
We might have a flud like two years ago.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
The water comes up this high on the bluff.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Oh, the fort's safe enough, Lieutenant. Trouble comes there across
the river in the Savilian settlement.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Maybe this year it'll wash those hay ranches right out,
and then they'd.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Come right back with a new supply of whiskey. Now,
if I had my way, they'd be cleaned out for good.
I'd cut our guardhouse detail by half.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You can't blame the men too much, major, When pay
day comes around only once a month.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I suppose not. I guess i've got spring fever too.
First birds I've urt in months.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, our snowbirds will be thinking of flying too, snowbirds
winter soldiers. Every year we have a few out here,
men enlisted in the fall just to get a warm
spot for the window. Now they'll be lighting out, they'll dessert,
go on west to the goldfields.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
And this happens every year, mister Savage. It can't punish
a man before the crime is committed. Afterwards, it's usually
too late.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
They're long gone. We couldn't we go after them bring
him back. We could, but.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
We usually found more important things to do. Couldn't we
take measures to prevent it?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Any suggestions?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
I don't know exactly, sir, but perhaps warn them at
morning parade, read the penalty for desertion, double the guard.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And send patrols after the ones that slipped through.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Well, it just seemed to me.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Meanwhile, the Cheyenne and the Sioux and the crow are
feeling the spring too.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Riling there, Bud.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I see, sir, you mean there's nothing we can do. Oh,
your theory is good enough, mister Savage. I'll have the
penalty read, and as for the Indians, we'll send out
the usual spring patrols to look them over.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
This weather can't be too soon, Major, I'd say the
clear Water patrols should be the first.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I'd like to take that one. Mister Cyberchair could handle it.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Mister Cyberts could handle these quartermaster reports too. Major, I'd
probably be more useful in.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
The field on a day like this. I'd like to
be in the field too. That's the price you pay.
Why should I relieve you of your responsibility just because
you have spring fever?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
No reason, I guess, Major Diggon, all.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Right, take the clear Water patrol, Kevin Quince, Thank.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
You, Major.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
I guess i'd better finish these reports.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Sergeant Gorse, Yes, sir, yeah, I was about to send
for you.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Yes, sir, nice day, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But yes, sir, spring I'd say wouldn't you.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I reckon it is.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Cap'n Major is a little concerned about spring desertions. I
think we have any snowbirds this.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Year, maybe a few.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Like always, there been any talk, not much lately.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Some of them plan out. They like it dress parade,
the flag wave and the band playing, you know, Kevin.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Well, we'll have a few. Not much we can do
except keep our eyes open. No, I guess not.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Must be pretty up along the clear water these days,
wouldn't you say?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Mighty pretty? You might be thinking about a patrol roster.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Sergeant, when sir ready to leave before dawn tomorrow, I'll
expect your roster to recall.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I'll have it for you. Captain. We go light, make
a fast circle too. What you the trooper in mind?
I'll take care of this.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Private, Yes, oh, yes, sir. A soldier in the United
States Cavalry does not sit down on sentry duty, not
even on the lazy spring day.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
No, sir, sorry, sir. What's your name? Blant? Sir?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
How long you've been in the second six months? Sir?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
You should be a soldier by now, Blant. But look
at those boots. How long since you polished them?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And this what's this a beltzer, where's your service belt?
I lost it, sir, lost it? You ever hear of
canteen inventory? You know that everything you have is government property.
Anything you lose is charged.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
To your pay.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yes, sir, then you'd better be more careful. Private, get
a new service belt today and shine those boots. Yes, sir,
above all, don't sit down on sentry duty. No, sir,
carry on. Yes, everybody's got spring fever.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Gorst capp That fella.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Blant What about him? He was one of them, did
a lot of talk in last fall.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Uh, that's why he doesn't care about his uniform. Well,
maybe he's one we can do something about. Like what
you can put him on the clear Water patrol roster.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm too sure he's soldier in that.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It will kill a curb and we'll be able to
watch him. Yes, sir, you might try some of that
dress parade on him. Put him on flag detail at
retreat tonight and gorse, sir, see that he polishes those boots.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Honor arms.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Sergeant dismissed the company.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Come away this matt, Private bland. Yes, sir, you don't
carry the flag tucked under your arm.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
That's the emblem of your country.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Sorry, sir, I see, Sergeant goris As you're looking like
you might make a soldier. But we'll find that out
on patrol. All right, move our private. What do you think, Doris?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
I don't know, Captain, he's got all the makings except
the notion.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
He's got his mind on other things. I don't know.
We can depend on him. We might have to. No,
he might surprise your sergeant if it came to that.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Maybe. Well we'll see four am tomorrow, sergeant. Uh, goddies,
(10:23):
all president are accounted force, hugeant.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
All except once, Sir Bland. He's gone. Must have left
last night, took his horse.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Equipment real snowbird after him.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
All right, sergeant, you can't have gone very far, sir.
Maybe if we'd go through the hay ranches across the river.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
All right, stand the horse, lead out, m prepare the
mount mount lord by twos at the walk.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Oh, not much doing around here this early.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Well they're not an army time, no, sir, whiskey time.
I don't see any sign.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
There in that crowd.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Yes, served by golly, that's an army mount. Back of
old Greass.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I figured Greasy wo'd be the most likely to take
a chance. You didn't have time to get rid of
it yet, patrol.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh, gors, come on along, Yes, Jenkins, get that horse
and put him with the pack mules. Hey, hey, what's
(12:30):
going on here? What do you think you're doing?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Where'd you get that horse in your corral?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Greasy?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
What horse? You know? What horse? Where's the man who
brought it?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I don't know what you're talking about?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Backroom?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Now with him. Get out of the way, Greasy, you're
in enough trouble now, anute captain, Let.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Me explain this uniform, saddle, packed hardware, everything. You didn't
expect us so soon, did you, Greasy?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Where's the soldier you got this from? Well? He left
last night, went on west to catch up with a
wagon train went through yesterday. All right, of course, we'll
take the uniform saddle on the horse.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Leave the rest now.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Look here, I paid one hundred and fifty dollars in
an old mule for them.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
He didn't know it was stolen government property.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Didn't figure to make at least another one hundred profit
from it.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Oh, I'm bleeding for you, Greasy.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Next time, stay out of trouble and collect the reward
for deserters. Some reward twenty dollars, then take the consequences.
Come on, gorse, captain, he can't be far down the trail.
Our orders are to go on to the clear Water, Sergeant,
that's more important. But we just might circle back to
(13:45):
the trail farther up. Who knows, we might find that
wagon train.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
You was right, captain? What about sergeant? Sure is pirty
up here? It was till now?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Look up ahead? Yeah, patrol hope, well gours what do
you make of it?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Oh? It's engines, all right. I don't know what tribe.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
There was a lot of them, maybe thirty forty went
south maybe a day.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, And there was no hunting party.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
No, no, it's a raiding party for sure. We're not
too far from the Oregon Trail. Now, there'll be wagon
trains coming through even this early. We know of at
least one.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
We'll follow their trail make sure, yes, sir, but we're
all with short handed for that bigger party, and we
can warn the trains at least.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Who's got the strongest horse, Jenkins? I think?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
All right, Jenkins, Yes, sir, you get back to Laramie
as fast as you can report the major dagget. We
found a big party ask him to send b company
out along the Oregon Trail to meet us. Right, move out,
all right, course, let's go at the trot. Oh, we
(16:04):
should be getting close to the Oregon Trail, sergeant.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Sir, any time now, they would we be better.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Swait a minute, guns.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
Captain at the gallup ho, patroll Hollo.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
It's a wagon train, captain, and under attack, surrounded and
then cheyenne at least fifty Sure don't stand much chance
against that many, captain.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh, but if we surprise him, we might be able
to ride through to the wagons. Hold your fire man,
stay alone the saddle, and we'll ride straight through.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
All right, tuh boss, all through? All right, sir.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Get the horses tied inside the wagons passed, every man,
spread out fraction. Captain. We're much glad to see you.
I'm Ben Gay, leader of the train. I don't know
how much good we can do you, sir, but it
looks like we surprised him for the moment.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
He pulled off to talk it over. If your people
back of the wagons, they'll be coming in again.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
All right, boys, I get back to your place, secure, captain,
Wait a minute of gorse bland. Uh. Hello, captain.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I guess you were hoping not to see us. Yeah,
I guess I was. Ah, you're under arrest. Disarmm gorse.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
No wait, captain, I want a gun. We're gonna need
everyone here. You didn't want to fight with us, mister Blant.
Now you're not going to You'll stay back with the
women and children again. All hold your fire. Let him
get close now we fire. It will.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Three charges? How many more can we stand off? Captain?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
They won't come in again tonight getting too dark. Looks
like they're making camp tending they're wounded. We can expect
them again at done. Now they're not leaving it.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
How much we can do? Is he not much?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Can't expect b company till sometime tomorrow. We can hold
out till then. Keep a good watch course, Yes, how's
corporal James.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
You'll be all right.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
He's asleep now? Ah do you bland landed his arm?
I thought I might as well be useful, very good.
This one's all right, But Chambers over there is dead.
I see, captain. I want to come you do you're
(20:01):
out number three to one. You've got four men wounded,
one dead. I want to take his place. You didn't
want to fight with the cavalry. I was never afraid
of a fight. I just had other plans. I admit
it wasn't right, But what does it matter?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Now? We may none of us get back.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Matters to me, matters to my men, the men you
rode with, Captain. I'd made up my mind, planned it
all for so long I had.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
To go through with it. Stubbornness is a poor excuse,
mister Blant. Won't you even let me try to make
up for it?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Lance, You're going to stand trial for desertion.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I don't mean that. I mean to the men.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
We'll see Blant in the morning, Captain.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
But why wait till morning? I got an idea how
we can get out of this. It's going to be
dark tonight.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
If somebody could sneak out to those Indian horses, cut
the picket rope, stampede them. You think anybody could get
within one hundred yards of those horses and live. But
if they could, then if we were ready to move fast,
they couldn't follow us.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
We could make it back to Bridges Crossing by morning. Maybe.
And what man am I supposed to send out there?
Mister Blant?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Me? No, it's a crazy idea so crazy. I think
you were betting I wouldn't accept it.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I guess I got that coming.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
But you have to admit, even if it was true,
I was better in my life the risk it right here,
mister Blant. You go on tending the wounded about the gun.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Man.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
We'll see in the morning, Captain. Mister Gail, why don't
(22:03):
you turn in. We'll keep the watch.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
I'm leader of this wagon train, Captain, I'll stay all right.
It's kind of mesmerizing though, staring at them little fires
winking in the dark. Captain, I think we got a chance.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
If our ammunition holds out, the relief should be here
before too many hours.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
Yeah, I hope, so, I sure do hope so, Captain, Yes,
I okay, And you've seen Blants.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
No, he's gone escaped again.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I guess I wouldn't be too sure of that.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Sergeant. What do you mean, mister Gail?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
If I give the word, how quick can you hitch
all your mules two wagons, put the women and children
and one wounded.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
In the other for dey meankip.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I mean we may be getting out of here, and Captain,
something's going on over there, I know, Sergeant, get those
mules hitch.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Mister Gaye, all right, gap, and I don't understand you
will in a minute, Gorse, here it comes.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Now hold your fire. You'll hold your fire, Captain.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
It's playing.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah, it's Blant. It work, Captain, it works, stampeding them
right through the camp. It's quite a ruckus over there.
I can hear of mister blamt. We're getting ready to move.
You're not very good at a band orders, are you.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
What about that gun?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Nowcer and a horse? We might have to fight.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Yet you're still under arrest, and it's dark night.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
If you had a horse and a gun, we might
not ever see you again. That's right, sir, you might
not sageant. Gorse, sir, you'll furnish mister Blant with a
horse and car being you'll ride the rear guard. Yes, sir,
thank you, Captain. Too bad about you, Blanche. You might
have made a fair soldier if you weren't so stubborn.
All right, let's get moving.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Getting lights, sir, can see pretty good now.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Disease, sergeant, Well, no engines anyway, and that's the main thing.
Look up my head, sergeant, way, I passed the crossing. Well,
that's a column Captain. That's company b right.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Sergeant, I think we can pull up now.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Control. Oh what are we stopping for?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Captain?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
There's our relief. I've ahead, mister Gail. I'll be here
in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
We're safe now, Control, dis Mount, Pengraves, Wooden Water details,
Sergeant Gors. Everybody will be hungry as soon as ah. Hello, Bland,
(25:12):
more than captain, you lost your chance, mister Bland. Well, Sir,
the man can be stubborn just so long. True, it's
any satisfaction to you. I'm sorry now about the whole thing.
You mean you find you like the cavil, Yes, sir,
I do, Sergeant Gorse, Yes, sir. You still have that
(25:35):
uniform we picked up at Old Greases back with the
pack mules.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
You better get into it Blant before be company arrives.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
But have some objection, Private, No, serve, I don't think
anybody in his patrol will object, will lay, Sergeant Gors,
I sure don't think so.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Captain, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I'm gonna sit you in my report. I understand, sir,
for hero is him in action against the enemies. But
don't think you're going to get off Scott free. Private
there's always canteen inventory, and you've got a bad habit
of losing government property. We recovered your horse and saddle
and uniform, but the rest of it, it's going to
cost you a couple of months pay.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Yes, sir, I don't mind, sir, all right, move out.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Private, Yes, sir, Well, what are you grinning at, Gorze?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Why? Nothing, sir.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I don't think the major would approve, sergeant, but you
and I know how hard it is to find a
good soldier. Yes, sir, ah, what about those wooden water
detail sergeants, I'm hungry, yes, sir.

Most accidents aren't really accidental at all. Only you can
cause an accident.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
It's up to you to read and heed the safety sides,
to keep your eyes on the road, to watch out
for those curves ahead and the cars driving along near you.
Most drivers know how to operate a car. They know
the traffic rules. They know that speeding, taking chances, failing
to keep to the right of the line are dangerous hazards.
Accidents happen because drivers do these things despite what they know.
(28:53):
So while you're driving, remember that you and only you,
are responsible for your life and the lives of those
driving with you.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Drive carefully,
