Dance since that event, but I heard that he's often
sworn publicly that he's gonna kill me for it.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Anyway, what's that he had a fight somewhere he got.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
His ear showed though, Well, unless he's growed another and
making him easy enough to spot, I might wonder he's
the dodge hating all right, Chess, I'm gonna like around
with the saloons, a bit of a long branch last man.
Speaker 3 (07:07):

saw it.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
No, he's gone, they said.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
He wrote me in after dark last night and he
left one. Do one end him back to him to
the horse with him? Cook wasn't either.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Maybe not, But I think I'll keep sniff in the air.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
It's just the same.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
The next afternoon, about sundown, Dane Shaw suddenly died. He
hadn't been badly hurt, but as Doc said, you never
know how a man's heart will reacts. Anyway, Dane, the
man without an enemy in the world.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Was dead, murdered in that place on me at night.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I was walking down the front street, thinking about it,
and wondering why it's the innocent that so often get
hurt him know, of course I had a feeling I
was being followed. I walked on till I reached the alley,
and then I turned into it casually. Once out of side,
I ran half way down it and got behind a
rain barrel and waited.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But he was second with wather. I knew I'd been riding.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Don't kill me, don't kill me more.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Well, that depends on you, I said, our get up,
and you got my gun. I went on, you went off.
When you jump me, that's all.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Shut up and turn around.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, Hill was right around the corner walking ahead. A
man walk careful, I will, sure will, that's it. I
(09:48):
opened the door and go right on the sure well,
I decided, who I don't know Worrin Lee leave Walke
Bill Lee, alright, Le, and I wanted to follow me
down that alley with a.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Gun on your hand.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I wasn't following you, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh what were you doing? Well? I was just well
it was.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Dark down there, and I didn't want to take any chances.
All right, did you, issued Jane Shawl last? Now you
look here, Marshall. You can't drag me in here. Excuse me?
You shout out, following one out of you as one
thing to Dan tire you to kill me.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
You got nothing on me, Marshall. I never heard no
dang all right.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Luck him up, Chester, walk me up before a lion.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Now wait a minute, I see leave this sure is
no I'm and you can't put me in jail.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
You're showing what we can do Chester.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
All right, mister right who that door?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Booh?
Speaker 6 (10:44):
See you try to this, Marshall. I know my right.
The only right you've got leftist to be hung.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And I hope it takes place real soon.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Every morning Chuster brought Lee out of his cell and
I questioned it, but he admitted nothing. Day after day
we kept him in jail anyway, and I hope Dan
should hear of it and come into town to do
the job himself. But it isn't a good feeling to
walk down the street and know that any minutes you
might get shot in the back. Finally I got tired
of it. I wanted to know where dance was. You're
(11:20):
wasting your time, marsh Look for the last time. Are
you going to tell me where dance is?
Speaker 6 (11:24):

I'm going to write the government about Tell me Lee,
how does it feel to kill a man for money?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Well, don't you.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Look at me, Marshall. Nobody paid me nothing. What about you?
You get paid for shooting people? You get paid reglar
for me?
Speaker 6 (11:46):
I think i'll hit you right on the head and
drag you back to yourself like you. Yes, well, I
know I haven't a check to let him be. I'll
give me me boy, I.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Know, but I got a better idea of what to
do with him. I want I get anywhere this way.
He just isn't gonna tell us anything. He's got his
mind made up.
Speaker 6 (12:02):

and part self defense.

Speaker 2 (13:08):

He's a pretty brave man.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Sure, sure take it, Okay, I told you let me go.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Now you know, Dance isn't gonna like you having killed
the wrong man and me still walking around in good
healthy A law wouldn't like it if I turned to
murder her. Loose, lock him up, Chester and get the horses,
you know the way you. Wagon bed Springs boasted a
(14:37):
hotel with a half a dozen rooms, a restaurants, and
two saloons, all built out of Toobe. But that's a
stopping point for boat waggers and mule skinners driving their
freight wagons along the Santa Fe Trail. When night came
Chester and I rode in, found a corral for our
horses and scotted the town Dan. She wasn't anywhere in sight.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
Well, sure I know him. He was here quite a while,
but he left just yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He's gone Texas. And if you're not died, that's h
he tells you that.
Speaker 6 (15:49):

All right, he won't see us here, can you?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
If you stay out of the way a while. M
I'd figured it right, And in a few minutes the
barkeep came out onto the street and walked down toward
the edge of town. We followed some distance behind until

then disappeared inside. The hut had no windows we could see.
