(06:43):
I'm afraid not out here. I gotta get her the dodge. Well,
I sure do hope not can save her. Uh, they'll try,

I wouldn't have given you a plug, Nickel for her
chances when we found her. Wonder how Kenny's making out,
whether her or there, and if she can even persuade
that girl to nod her head, it'll be better than
I did. Just stared. Don't even look at me. I

What happened to her? Waning about her husband? Her husband? Yes, well,
(08:43):
start from the beginest, kitty.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Uh well, as I put it together, She and her
husband were setting up camp for the night. While he
was out getting firewood, two men rode in. She offered
him coffee and that's mad, yeah going.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Her husband heard his scream.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Came running back, tried to fight him off, and they
grabbed him. She could hear me beat me, and just
before she passed out, she cut a shot.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Could she describe these two? Really? That's if they were
both big men. That's how much shit going? Well? Like
Chester found a couple of drinking son. Doesn't sound like
they're exactly friends, does it. I'll tell you you going.

is he? No?
Speaker 5 (09:44):

man to look through his scalping. Marshall.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I'm gonna kill the dirty engine that did this.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I want and then would have a reason.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Who engines ain't like people?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
They don't need no reason. I know it was Marshall.
It was that girl. Oh what girl? You knew? That
engine girl that Chester was talking about. I don't think,
Sir Wilkins. I don't think she could have done it.
She's not strong enough. But I can understand why she
she might want to. You ain't making sense. Two men
broke into work camp last night, big men like you,
Wilkins and Beauford. Well it wasn't not Beautiford. That's different.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
That don't mean nothing.
Speaker 2 (17:11):

You're not gonna do anything. Wilkins take his gun, Sester?
All right? Now, have you ever seen this man before?
That's my sha. He is one of them. She's live. No, Marshal,
he is one of them.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You ain't gonna take the word of der little engine
over mine.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
You're saying that she hasn't seen you before. That's right,
and you were nowhere near her camp last night. No,
I wasn't all right. I'll take your word and I
get out of here. Open the door for mister Wilkins. Sester,
that's more like it. Give me back my gun. Don't
worry right now. If he's long, Adam will take care
of him. Adam, who's that? It's her husband. Adam's alive
(18:05):
right now. He's already cut up one Wilkins, and he's
out there in the dark somewhere really looking forward to
this one. Open the door, Chester, My good, Marshall, I
want it back. You say you've never seen this girl.
You don't need a gun.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I ain't going out there on Ar'm not with him

Lock me up? Nobody says Chester. Where is my end Rushia?
(18:43):
I don't know right now, but he must be close by. Yes,
you thank him? Will you put him in? Kim Marshall
really cut young Wilkins pretty bad. They hurt him, They
meant to kill him. I'll still have to hold at
him for trial. He runs. I'll have to track him down,
but I'll tell you one thing, Raynon, what mischel It'll
(19:05):
take twelve men to convict him, and I couldn't name
one in this town. I think would want to.

was out getting firewood, two men rode in. She offered
him coffee and that's mad, yeah going.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Her husband heard his scream.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Came running back, tried to fight him off, and they
grabbed him. She could hear me beat me, and just
before she passed out, she cut a shot.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Could she describe these two? Really? That's if they were
both big men. That's how much shit going? Well? Like
Chester found a couple of drinking son. Doesn't sound like

Speaker 3 (16:42):
I'm gonna kill the dirty engine that did this.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I want and then would have a reason.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Who engines ain't like people?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
They don't need no reason. I know it was Marshall.
It was that girl. Oh what girl? You knew? That
engine girl that Chester was talking about. I don't think,
Sir Wilkins. I don't think she could have done it.
She's not strong enough. But I can understand why she
she might want to. You ain't making sense. Two men
broke into work camp last night, big men like you,
Wilkins and Beauford. Well it wasn't not Beautiford. That's different.
Speaker 3 (17:10):

All right? Now, have you ever seen this man before?
That's my sha. He is one of them. She's live. No, Marshal,
he is one of them.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You ain't gonna take the word of der little engine
over mine.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
You're saying that she hasn't seen you before. That's right,
and you were nowhere near her camp last night. No,
I wasn't all right. I'll take your word and I
get out of here. Open the door for mister Wilkins. Sester,
that's more like it. Give me back my gun. Don't
worry right now. If he's long, Adam will take care
of him. Adam, who's that? It's her husband. Adam's alive
(18:05):
right now. He's already cut up one Wilkins, and he's
out there in the dark somewhere really looking forward to
this one. Open the door, Chester, My good, Marshall, I
want it back. You say you've never seen this girl.
You don't need a gun.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I ain't going out there on Ar'm not with him

Lock me up? Nobody says Chester. Where is my end Rushia?
(18:43):
I don't know right now, but he must be close by. Yes,
you thank him? Will you put him in? Kim Marshall
really cut young Wilkins pretty bad. They hurt him, They
meant to kill him. I'll still have to hold at
him for trial. He runs. I'll have to track him down,
but I'll tell you one thing, Raynon, what mischel It'll
(19:05):
take twelve men to convict him, and I couldn't name
one in this town. I think would want to.
