Speaker 5 (06:08):
Face, mister Dylon.
Speaker 3 (06:09):

But you know what it's all about.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
She's waving.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
He must be down there.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, come on, Doc is American. Yeah, and he's got
a gun.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
He's threatening some men.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
All right, thanks, Kenny.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
And if you won't come outside, I'll kill you where
you stand.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I told you I'm not gonna fight you.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's up to you. But I'm gonna kill you, whether
you defend yourself or not.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Doc.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
That's not matchew status.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Happens to be my business dock. When a man threatens
another man in this town, when the other man doesn't
wanna fight, want to defend himself, it could turn out
to be murdered. You think I don't know that, you
must want to kill him pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I have wanted to for a lot of years.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Why. I've got good reasons, Mata. But you won't tell
me no, All right, what about you?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I could say, I don't know, and just a stranger
passing through town.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
But I know there is no good reason for murder.
I guess he thinks there is, do you not? Many
men would say yes to that, now, would they? Marshall?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
But you won't defend yourself. I won't draw with him. No,
he's gonna shoot me. You'll have to take the consequences.
I'm not a fighting man, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm a miner. Me and my partner here, we're just
traveling through Dodge. We don't want to need trouble. That's right, Marshall.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
We made our strike out in our own territory and
we're headed back to Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
We were just minding our own busin n having a
quiet drink when this fellow comes along.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What's your name Clem maddow. This is being barked with
my pardner. We don't want no prog.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You won't have any. You want back to your drink.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I'm gonna kill him one way or the other match
and you can't stop lugg duck.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You're taking an awful lot for granted. Maybe you think
I want to throw you in jail for threatening murder?
Have you think because you're the town's only doctor, that
you can get away? Listen now, you listen to me.
You've forgotten a lot you want to remember Doc. For instance,
your position in this town. You oughta be setting an
example instead of acting like an ordinary gun hand. More important,
(08:39):
your responsibility. Another man's life may be is on risk,
but yours belongs to this whole town, and a good
many lives depend on you. So you calm down and
you put that gun away. Hey, you sure gold your
(09:03):
fool off your shirt? Didn't huh matter? I don't know
anything about you. Maybe you're what you'll say. But if
Doc doesn't like you, that's good enough for me. So
you get out of dodge while you got a whole skin,
and you'll stay out. Why should we we gotta right now?
You take your partner, what you Madow, because I don't
(09:23):
like him, you're a marshall.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
He was going on tomorrow anyways, right on to night
since we stock up on some grub.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Alright, or did Doc on Chester.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Fool up the street? Probably backed off it, like you said, mad.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Look on his face when he went out, Yeah, I know, kiddy,
and I'm going up there match. I had to do it. Yeah,
I'll see your later, kiddy.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Sure, mister Dulan, that Mado he he didn't feel like
such bad thumb. No, he didn't, Chester, I'd sooner be
bad of that partner, his bartlet. That one seemed like
he could be a hard case. Alright, I thought half tried.
But Madam wouldn't even defend this up.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
No, but I don't think that was because he was afraid.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Tom, That's true. Seemed more like you just didn't wanna fight. Dog.
Didn't seem mad as the tall like Doc.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
More like you was sad, maybe a man with a
guilty conscience.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Chester, m Oh, I guess so, mister jon.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Uh, you better go on over to the office. Chester, Huh.
I don't wanna go up alone for sure, dark a dog.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I wonder where he could have gone.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
M Did you find him, mister Doan, No, Chester, Well
he didn't throw up at del Moncos for his supper,
and it's way past his usual time. I've been watching
the office and his lighting come on. Of course, he
could be sitting up there in the door.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I just tried again. He's not there, alright, mister Doan.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
You don't reckon. He might have just.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Left time run away because of what I said. Not Doc,
he's too bull headed for that. Most likely he's out
there somewhere where that old pistol. He's looking for meadow.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
M I'm afraid you're right, dog, And I don't know
what it's time to do, thought Doc. He can be awful,
irritating at times and all.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
But yeah, that was a shot.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, I come up. Harshaw, harshaw.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
He's got bartlett. Mister Dylan.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's Clem Marshall. I think he's dead. Alright, everybody stay back,
give me that letter, will you.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
He was shutting him back, mister Dylan. Yeah, yeah, it's
mighty bad.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
He said he'd kill him. He's done it. They just
say hoot it buttlet No.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
We was loading horses and I just turned to go
back into the store for another load and heard the shot.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Anybody else around to say it for?
Speaker 8 (13:10):
I know, but after all, Marshall can't be much doubt
who did it?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Turn there.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Everybody in town heard him threaten to kill claim you aren't.
Just because the man's a.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Doctor doesn't give him any right to go around murdering pet.
That's not. Part of the important thing right now is
to try to save this man's life.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Where are we taking at, mister Dillon.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
There's only one place, justin yes, you where have you been, Duck?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I was down by the stable and then heard the shot.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
It's a matter. He's still alive. But he was shot
in the back.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
As if you didn't know, dark, I can't understand. You're
getting into a fair fight, but not shooting a man
in the back. You're just gonna let him walk away
like that, Marshal. He's gonna die if he doesn't get
attention right away, and you're the only doctor in town.
(14:15):
You're gonna let him die.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Where do you think I was going, Matt, Bring him
up to the office. I'll have everything ready.
Speaker 9 (14:23):

Speaker 3 (06:37):
He's threatening some men.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
All right, thanks, Kenny.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
And if you won't come outside, I'll kill you where
you stand.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I told you I'm not gonna fight you.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's up to you. But I'm gonna kill you, whether
you defend yourself or not.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Doc.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
That's not matchew status.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Happens to be my business dock. When a man threatens
another man in this town, when the other man doesn't
wanna fight, want to defend himself, it could turn out
to be murdered. You think I don't know that, you
must want to kill him pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I have wanted to for a lot of years.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Why. I've got good reasons, Mata. But you won't tell
me no, All right, what about you?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I could say, I don't know, and just a stranger
passing through town.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
But I know there is no good reason for murder.
I guess he thinks there is, do you not? Many
men would say yes to that, now, would they? Marshall?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
But you won't defend yourself. I won't draw with him. No,
he's gonna shoot me. You'll have to take the consequences.
I'm not a fighting man, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm a miner. Me and my partner here, we're just
traveling through Dodge. We don't want to need trouble. That's right, Marshall.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
We made our strike out in our own territory and
we're headed back to Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
We were just minding our own busin n having a
quiet drink when this fellow comes along.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What's your name Clem maddow. This is being barked with
my pardner. We don't want no prog.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You won't have any. You want back to your drink.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I'm gonna kill him one way or the other match
and you can't stop lugg duck.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You're taking an awful lot for granted. Maybe you think
I want to throw you in jail for threatening murder?
Have you think because you're the town's only doctor, that
you can get away? Listen now, you listen to me.
You've forgotten a lot you want to remember Doc. For instance,
your position in this town. You oughta be setting an
example instead of acting like an ordinary gun hand. More important,
(08:39):
your responsibility. Another man's life may be is on risk,
but yours belongs to this whole town, and a good
many lives depend on you. So you calm down and
you put that gun away. Hey, you sure gold your
(09:03):
fool off your shirt? Didn't huh matter? I don't know
anything about you. Maybe you're what you'll say. But if
Doc doesn't like you, that's good enough for me. So
you get out of dodge while you got a whole skin,
and you'll stay out. Why should we we gotta right now?
You take your partner, what you Madow, because I don't
(09:23):
like him, you're a marshall.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
He was going on tomorrow anyways, right on to night
since we stock up on some grub.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Alright, or did Doc on Chester.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Fool up the street? Probably backed off it, like you said, mad.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Look on his face when he went out, Yeah, I know, kiddy,
and I'm going up there match. I had to do it. Yeah,
I'll see your later, kiddy.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Sure, mister Dulan, that Mado he he didn't feel like
such bad thumb. No, he didn't, Chester, I'd sooner be
bad of that partner, his bartlet. That one seemed like
he could be a hard case. Alright, I thought half tried.
But Madam wouldn't even defend this up.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
No, but I don't think that was because he was afraid.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Tom, That's true. Seemed more like you just didn't wanna fight. Dog.
Didn't seem mad as the tall like Doc.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
More like you was sad, maybe a man with a
guilty conscience.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Chester, m Oh, I guess so, mister jon.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Uh, you better go on over to the office. Chester, Huh.
I don't wanna go up alone for sure, dark a dog.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I wonder where he could have gone.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
M Did you find him, mister Doan, No, Chester, Well
he didn't throw up at del Moncos for his supper,
and it's way past his usual time. I've been watching
the office and his lighting come on. Of course, he
could be sitting up there in the door.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I just tried again. He's not there, alright, mister Doan.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
You don't reckon. He might have just.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Left time run away because of what I said. Not Doc,
he's too bull headed for that. Most likely he's out
there somewhere where that old pistol. He's looking for meadow.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
M I'm afraid you're right, dog, And I don't know
what it's time to do, thought Doc. He can be awful,
irritating at times and all.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
But yeah, that was a shot.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, I come up. Harshaw, harshaw.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
He's got bartlett. Mister Dylan.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's Clem Marshall. I think he's dead. Alright, everybody stay back,
give me that letter, will you.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
He was shutting him back, mister Dylan. Yeah, yeah, it's
mighty bad.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
He said he'd kill him. He's done it. They just
say hoot it buttlet No.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
We was loading horses and I just turned to go
back into the store for another load and heard the shot.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Anybody else around to say it for?
Speaker 8 (13:10):
I know, but after all, Marshall can't be much doubt
who did it?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Turn there.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Everybody in town heard him threaten to kill claim you aren't.
Just because the man's a.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Doctor doesn't give him any right to go around murdering pet.
That's not. Part of the important thing right now is
to try to save this man's life.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Where are we taking at, mister Dillon.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
There's only one place, justin yes, you where have you been, Duck?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I was down by the stable and then heard the shot.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
It's a matter. He's still alive. But he was shot
in the back.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
As if you didn't know, dark, I can't understand. You're
getting into a fair fight, but not shooting a man
in the back. You're just gonna let him walk away
like that, Marshal. He's gonna die if he doesn't get
attention right away, and you're the only doctor in town.
(14:15):
You're gonna let him die.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Where do you think I was going, Matt, Bring him
up to the office. I'll have everything ready.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Mm hmmm.

to stand in watch men? I know I didn't, Doc,

away from him. Why it.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It never occurred to me to walk away from him?
Speaker 2 (17:12):

than any personal broods. Hell I RECOGNI I'm under suspicion
that I stack.

him didn't come in though? A how is he? Marsham?

golden opportunity to double his takings of a mining strike

your hands away from your belt. Bottles.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Well, I did want me to get his gun.

can't prove this. I think we can't bought it anyway.
