Oh you should have gone on watching it.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh, yes, you're right, absolutely right. Cost me my last
ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
But I thought sure i'd win this time.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh why because it was my last ten dollars for
the month.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I had to lots about as good a reason for
winning as any I guess.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
An, sir, you know there's just too much money for
my pay mister Dolan. Anyway, I might have won if
I hadn't got cheated.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh it's a crooked game.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
The fella dealing was crooked.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I know it was, But I sure didn't wanna start
no argument with him.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
No, sure, not him?
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Why oh was he?
Speaker 7 (03:00):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Some stranger calls herself Sam Kircher. Why Sam Kircher?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Do you know him?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
H I've heard of him?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Who is he?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He's a gunman Chester?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Oh, I recognize that. That's why I didn't make no
fuss about his crooked dealing.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh he was smart. Kircher's the kind of man who
enjoys kill him. He's got a big reputation for it
out in Arizona.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Well, what you doing here? I wonder?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I don't know, Chester, Let's go find out.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Uh that team mister Dyllan just getting up on the
table over there. I guess the game's finished.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Funny he'd tell you his name Chester. A man like
that usually doesn't talk so much most her.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But I didn't think nothing about it at the time.
He's coming over here to borrow.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, pass the worst for a tender. Hello Kircher, where
you been? Dylan h What took you long enough to
get here? It's been a half hour since I cheated
your friend here out of his money?
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Cheated me?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
You see, I told you he did.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But how do you know how? I was a friend
of mister dil I asked smart of him? He wanted,
would you ask for what difference?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It means?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I have a Minchester? What are you doing? Dodge Kircher?
I got tired of Arizona. Why nobody left worth bothering
about there? I mean, there's nobody left with your killings,
And a man can get rusty facing down thumbs and
green Orange dealing. What's the matter with Tombstone? Why at
air brought me? It's a lively town, these things, Oh
(04:52):
too many of them herbs and they got dark Halliday
with him too, and be fooled right into that camp.
How you draw a line somewhere? Don't you? One man
at a time. It's good enough for me. Did I
ain't greedy? Now you're kind of greedy about money? What
do you mean? He admitted cheating Chester out of his
(05:12):
ten dollars. I had a reason for that, dealer, now,
did you? Yeah? He was hanging around watching the game
and I found out.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Who he was.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So when he sat down, I took him. I can
deal faster and there I wanted him to know and
run tell you about it. Why I wanted to meet you,
did it? Always liked to get to know the leading
citizens of a police. He got your own way of
going about it. Are you objecting? Ordinarily I objected the
(05:44):
cheating of cards, Yeah, But with you, I don't think
it matter as much. Now what are you doing on
Dodge Cutcher? I was nearby from Colorado. I heard about you.
They're dying. You got quite a reputation. I'm a law
man Kirtch, you're not a gunman. I don't care about
my reputation. I do now. You came here to kill me.
(06:11):
That's what I came for. Dinner, Kirtcher. I'm gonna tell
you something, but men like you are as useless as wolves.
I hain't ever won of your kind, and that'll make
it easier for you to fight mid Dylan. I'll meet
you out in the plaza Sundown tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
What a pair? What a buye? We're talking about King
Size Chesterfield at the New Low Price and Chesterfiel Irregular.
They're the quality twins, the best cigarette ever made.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Either way you like them.
Speaker 1 (07:07):

same wonderful taste and mildness, a refreshing smoke every time.
So change to Chesterfield, America's most popular two way cigarette.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Buy a carton today.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You get highest quality with King sized Chesterfield at the
new Low Price. You get highest quality with Chesterfield Regular.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
What a pair they are? They satisfy millions. They're best
for you. Daln huh uh.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I've been thinking about Sundown all day long. I feel
terrible about this.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh why that isn't church trouble?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's try I know, but if I hadn't set in
that game, yesty, things might be different.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Ah, Sam kircherd I've found me soon enough. That's what
he said he came here for.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I heard him, but I still feel guilty.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
There's a lot of Chester. You're afraid he'll kill me?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Is he really good?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I don't. He's beat a lot of men. You gonna
fight him, ain't you? Ah, that's the worst part of
this job Chester, having men like Sam Kircher come around
looking for another notch on his gun. There's nothing I
can do about it.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Well, you don't have to fight him, mister din No, No.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I don't, don't. I could avoid it. How run away?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
M hm.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We got the wind to hear mister Dillon. The plazas
plumbed the dirty Sure guess the words got around mister Dillon. Yeah,
what he's coming, Pam Kerchier walking across the plaza.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I must be sundown.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yes, you're tears.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I don't come out the Dorchester, You'll be behind me.
I'm only going as far as the board walk.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I won't I'll stay right here. But if anything happens,
then I'm coming out by gall I'll be a.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Fool come on out in the street, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
What you standing there for? Matter you you scared?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Why don't you come down here, Dylan. There's a lot
of people hid out watching us. Been a long time
since a marshals killed and dog, I don't wanna hear
your talk, cut er. I s kept this over.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You did it, mister Dylan.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Well, he didn't hardly have his gun out before you
hit him.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
First time I was watching him.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I didn't wait for him. I drew first.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
You did.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Giving a man a chance to be arrested as one thing.
Shooting down a killers another. This is nothing but slaughter,
brainless slaughter. Like I said, it's the worst part of
this miserable job. I guess it helped ridden the country
(11:23):
of a man like Sam Kircher, shooting him down, killing
him that the trouble was that it made you feel
like a part of his own senselessness when he did it,
and everybody congratulating you afterwards and looking up to you.
That didn't help any That's one thing a gun man
(11:44):
like Kircher started off wrong in the first place. All
the talk, all the admiration for gunfighters, like when a
kid I met at the Texas Trail one night. A
couple of months later, he was sitting with Kitty when
I came in even in that time, Thanks Kitty.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
This is Marshall Dylan Kate.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I know I've seen him, Pate.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Huh Do I ever saw your on before? Fete?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
He wrote in yesterday.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Matt his first time.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Good thing too.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
He's only sixteenth.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, that's young, especially for a sound like Dodge. Where
are you from.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Fte on the west to here?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Cowboy?
Speaker 7 (12:26):
I was?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
That's what I've been arguing with him about.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Matt.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
He says he's puld being a cowboys.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
That's something why I got other things to do. Like
what I'm gonna buy me a gun, Marshall. A gun, sure,
and I'm gonna learn to use it too. A man's
no good without a gun.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Oh hate.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
You start carrying a gun and you get handy with it,
and you'll throw up to.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Be a US marshalist, I'm not kiddy.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
I mean it. I never saw a man start using
a gun yet that he didn't have to go on
using it the rest of his life, however long.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
That is.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Tell me something, Pepe, what gave you this idea?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
What's wrong with it? Everybody carries a gun. Of course,
everybody can't use him real good.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
But I'll learn. I'll get good good.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
As you are, Marshall. Oh sure, maybe even better. Who knows, that's.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
What I mean.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
All leads to nothing but getting killed.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Who cares how good you are with a gun.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
There's always somebody better.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
She's right, Pepe. Why don't you forget about this and
go find yourself a job out in the country somewhere
and go to work.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Huh, I'm gonna have to Marshall. I'm I'm broke right now.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh good, that's fine. You know anybody around here?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, look i'll tell you EMMITTT. Bowers is due and
tom tomorrow. He runs a big outfit and he can
always use an extra hand. You meet me in the
lobby the Dodge House tomorrow morning, and well we'll have
a talk with him.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Okay, I better be going now. I gotta find me
a place to sleep.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Oh uh pay uh here, here's a dollar here.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You can pay me back later.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
No, No, I couldn't take it, No, thanks can I
You're not kiddy.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's a long pay and I we's.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Got a lot of pride, that kid.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, that's mostly the wrong kind.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Oh, maybe.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Well, you'll probably forget about this gun fighting business once
he's back out in.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
The country where he belonged.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well, I hope, so there are enough gunman around already.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Oh, Paid, it's alright, don't worry about him.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, I won't, Kitty unless he comes back someday.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Pay.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It was at the dodge house next morning, and we
found him at Bower's there and got him a job
right on. They rode out of town together that evening,
and I watched him go, hoping that a lot of
hard work would give Paid something to think about besides
becoming a gunfighter. Anyway, I'd done what I could, and
I forgot about it till a couple of months later
(15:22):
when I happened to go into Jonah's General store.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Real morning, Marshall, Dillon.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All home, Miss Jonas, Well, I come here running the store.
Speaker 5 (15:39):

Speaker 2 (15:41):

Husband's got the egg? You real bad. I've been taking
care of him and running the store too.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, man, But how do
you manage to do both?
Speaker 8 (15:52):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
I moved his bed into the storeroom out back. Matter
of fact, Doc Adams is in there with him. Now, Oh, oh,
that poor man. So he's had chills one day and
fever the next nigh onto a week.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Well, doctor fixing him up? Doctor cure almost, I.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Can cure anything but a liar Matt.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh hell about Doc, I didn't know you were listening.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I was listening. I heard what you said, and it
was a long way.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
From what you told me the other day.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Why what do you mean, doctor.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Missus Jonas he told me the only thing croakers were
good for was performing autopsies and signing death certificate.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
That's exactly what he.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Said, death certificate.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Now, I don't let him scare you. Man. Nobody ever
died of a gu yet, doctor or no.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Doctor?
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Oh, Mad, why aren't you are patrolling front street keeping
the peace somewhere like you paid to do.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Mad can't work all the time, doctor, Oh we can.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Yes, Well, I'll just remember that the next time you
come hounding me out of bed in the middle of
the night to patch up some bad man that you
just torn apart.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
When you're through here, I'll buy you a glass of beer. Doc.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, I don't mind the heat.

And I was afraid.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So, ma'am, you want me a six gun and a
whole stern of belt and all the ammunition. The rest
of my money you'll buy now.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Son, Ain't she's a little young to be carrying a gun.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm sixteen, and if I'm old enough to do a
man's work, I guess I'm old enough to live like
a man. Live like a man? Hm, you mean die
like when to Nurn't you young? Fella, I ain't afraid
to die. Mm I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
I've dug bullets out of all kinds of men, young
and old, and no matter how they talk, every one
of 'em's been afraid.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I get good enough, I'll do the killing if I'm
giving a decent chance.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Hey, tell me something. How'd you get started on all
this in the first place?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I don't mind telling you, Marshall. Now now, Now I
got money for a gun and I can start practicing.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Oh wait a minute, that's there's some particular man you're after.
Is that it?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, that's it, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well who is he?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
You me?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I'm gonna fight you, Marshall, and I'm gonna kidd you
if I can.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Why I never saw you before in my life till
you came here.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Pate's my first name, Marshall, So my last name's Kircher.
I heard about how you shot my brother, so I
come here to take his place.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Tate, Sam Kircher was nothing but a killer.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It was no good you drew first on him.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
What difference does it make? Your brother came after me
for only one reason to kill me? So's he could
be a big man. You think I'm gonna take a
chance of being killed for anything as brainless as that.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
There's rules to gun fighting, Marshall, he wasn't ready to draw.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Once you got all these crazy ideas, kid, who taught
you at killing people is a game of some sort.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
My brother told me all about it a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, sure, Now for him it was a game. That's
what was wrong with him.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
He'd beat you if he'd have been ready.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Pete. Then you wait for a mad dog to bite
you before you try to stop him. And your brother
was ready. He rode in the dodge ready.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Well, I'll be ready for you in a few weeks,
I will.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
He will.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Look, Pate, I've been handling a gun for years. What
makes you think that you can go against me in
a few weeks unless you're planning something else.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
No, Marshall, I'll never shoot anybody in the back, not
even you.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, not bad Peate. But you sure got everything mixed up?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Why cause I'm only sixteen. You see what I can do, Marshall, You'll.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
See or what if I won't draw on you, I'll.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Kill you anyway, Like you say, What difference does it make, alright?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
If you're gonna act like your brother. I'll treat you
like your brother, and when you come gunning for may
shut you down as fast as I did him. So
I'll go ahead and practice practice how you like, but
when you face me, I'll have three bullets in you
before you clay your holster. I don't care how older.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Your best cigarette by today is Chesterfield. There's Chesterfield King
Size at the new low price, and for your convenience
Chesterfield Regular.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
What a pair.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Either way you get the taste and mildness you want,
or refreshing smoke every time. Either way you get highest quality,
low nicotine. Buy a carton of Chesterfield. They're best for you.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
In regular a king size, you can get them their way,
the best smoke ever made.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
It's the Chesterfield you buy today.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Smoker's coast to coast are changing. It's a sense to do.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Here's all you have to say to get the one
that's best for you.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Chester feels for me. Chester feels for me. You just
say it's chester Feels for me. If I thought getting
(22:39):
mad would scare some sense in the fate Kircher, I
was wrong. He went ahead and bought his six gun,
and every day he spent hours down by the Arkansas
practicing with it. In a few years. That kind of
concentration might have made him into a fair gunfighter, But
as it turned out, he didn't get a few years.
(23:00):
He didn't get moren about ten days, and those ten
days got spent fast. Well. Even then, I was sitting
on the porch not far from the Texas Trail, watching
the crowd push up and down Front Street. Ooh oh, hello, John.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Fat Yeah, oh okay, hey, mat Chess's in the trail there,
and he asked me to come find you.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well, what's the trouble, you know?
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Jack running?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, I know it.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Well, I get the bar in there, and he's making
fun of young Pate. Chester isn't sure how much Pet's
gonna take on him.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
It's more than just a bully, and he's dangerous.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Huh, Chester, try to make him stop, but.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
He didn't do any good night.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I hope Pate isn't full enough to try to take
him line. It'll kill him, sure if he does.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
I try to tell him he shouldn't be wearing a gun,
but you know Pate, he won't listen to anybody.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
H Uh, you better wait out here, ain't you MEI
the kid along riding he ain't bothering you. Then get
out of the way.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Chester, everybody else get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I'm giving you one more chance to faiate you throw
that gun away or you start.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
You think't you're a fight?

I try to shot you on my head. I go
on over the docks at your Hand't bothers you bothers me.
It's smash shud. I wonder how many lives that's gonna save. Now,

Speaker 1 (25:08):
You ruin me, that's what you've gone here.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
We'll see about this.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Oh he'd have killed him, sure, mister Peyton never even
got his gun out.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah that's true. I didn't. I kind of froze. I
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Why Pete Jack Ryan is the same kind of man.
Your brother was always looking to kill somebody. And if
you still think it's a game or some kind go
on while I'm not gun and when the time comes,
I'll see you're buried with it. But that's all I'll
do for you, all right, Come on, chesl, let's get
out of here.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yes, yeah, Marshall, Marshall, way in that. Marshall. Yeah, you
saved my life just now.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
He sure did.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
One more second you'd have had a bullet.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Clean through you.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
I know that, but I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Why don't you understand?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Well?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
You you could let him kill me, and then I
wouldn't be after you, no more would not that you wouldn't,
But you you saved the life of a man who've
sworn to kill you. Marshall.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Well why'd you do it?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Because you didn't have a chance with him? Paper, not
a chance?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I'm kind of confused, Marshal. Y A, I sure I am.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Now that's about time, and maybe you'll figure it out
now pay if you give yourself I have a chance.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
A Marshall. I I always could think better when I'm
riding a horse. I'm going back to my job.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
But I'm glad to hear that paper.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
W would you do me a favor?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Not sure?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Punching cows will keep me so busy, I won't have
time to practice much. Would you hold on a gun
for me here?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah? Sure, I will pay, Sure, I will. I'll keep
it for you for a long time.

Huh, no, all afternoon, mister jan I watched the game

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh you should have gone on watching it.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh, yes, you're right, absolutely right. Cost me my last
ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
But I thought sure i'd win this time.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh why because it was my last ten dollars for
the month.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I had to lots about as good a reason for
winning as any I guess.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
An, sir, you know there's just too much money for
my pay mister Dolan. Anyway, I might have won if
I hadn't got cheated.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh it's a crooked game.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
The fella dealing was crooked.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I know it was, But I sure didn't wanna start
no argument with him.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
No, sure, not him?
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Why oh was he?
Speaker 7 (03:00):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Some stranger calls herself Sam Kircher. Why Sam Kircher?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Do you know him?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
H I've heard of him?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Who is he?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He's a gunman Chester?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Oh, I recognize that. That's why I didn't make no
fuss about his crooked dealing.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh he was smart. Kircher's the kind of man who
enjoys kill him. He's got a big reputation for it
out in Arizona.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Well, what you doing here? I wonder?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I don't know, Chester, Let's go find out.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Uh that team mister Dyllan just getting up on the
table over there. I guess the game's finished.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Funny he'd tell you his name Chester. A man like
that usually doesn't talk so much most her.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But I didn't think nothing about it at the time.
He's coming over here to borrow.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, pass the worst for a tender. Hello Kircher, where
you been? Dylan h What took you long enough to
get here? It's been a half hour since I cheated
your friend here out of his money?
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Cheated me?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
You see, I told you he did.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But how do you know how? I was a friend
of mister dil I asked smart of him? He wanted,
would you ask for what difference?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It means?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I have a Minchester? What are you doing? Dodge Kircher?
I got tired of Arizona. Why nobody left worth bothering
about there? I mean, there's nobody left with your killings,
And a man can get rusty facing down thumbs and
green Orange dealing. What's the matter with Tombstone? Why at
air brought me? It's a lively town, these things, Oh
(04:52):
too many of them herbs and they got dark Halliday
with him too, and be fooled right into that camp.
How you draw a line somewhere? Don't you? One man
at a time. It's good enough for me. Did I
ain't greedy? Now you're kind of greedy about money? What
do you mean? He admitted cheating Chester out of his
(05:12):
ten dollars. I had a reason for that, dealer, now,
did you? Yeah? He was hanging around watching the game
and I found out.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Who he was.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So when he sat down, I took him. I can
deal faster and there I wanted him to know and
run tell you about it. Why I wanted to meet you,
did it? Always liked to get to know the leading
citizens of a police. He got your own way of
going about it. Are you objecting? Ordinarily I objected the
(05:44):
cheating of cards, Yeah, But with you, I don't think
it matter as much. Now what are you doing on
Dodge Cutcher? I was nearby from Colorado. I heard about you.
They're dying. You got quite a reputation. I'm a law
man Kirtch, you're not a gunman. I don't care about
my reputation. I do now. You came here to kill me.
(06:11):
That's what I came for. Dinner, Kirtcher. I'm gonna tell
you something, but men like you are as useless as wolves.
I hain't ever won of your kind, and that'll make
it easier for you to fight mid Dylan. I'll meet
you out in the plaza Sundown tomorrow.

Size Chesterfield at the New Low Price and Chesterfiel Irregular.

You get highest quality with King sized Chesterfield at the
new Low Price. You get highest quality with Chesterfield Regular.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
What a pair they are? They satisfy millions. They're best
for you. Daln huh uh.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I've been thinking about Sundown all day long. I feel
terrible about this.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh why that isn't church trouble?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's try I know, but if I hadn't set in
that game, yesty, things might be different.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Ah, Sam kircherd I've found me soon enough. That's what
he said he came here for.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I heard him, but I still feel guilty.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
There's a lot of Chester. You're afraid he'll kill me?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Is he really good?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I don't. He's beat a lot of men. You gonna
fight him, ain't you? Ah, that's the worst part of
this job Chester, having men like Sam Kircher come around
looking for another notch on his gun. There's nothing I
can do about it.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Well, you don't have to fight him, mister din No, No.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I don't, don't. I could avoid it. How run away?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
M hm.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We got the wind to hear mister Dillon. The plazas
plumbed the dirty Sure guess the words got around mister Dillon. Yeah,
what he's coming, Pam Kerchier walking across the plaza.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I must be sundown.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yes, you're tears.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I don't come out the Dorchester, You'll be behind me.
I'm only going as far as the board walk.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I won't I'll stay right here. But if anything happens,
then I'm coming out by gall I'll be a.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Fool come on out in the street, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
What you standing there for? Matter you you scared?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Why don't you come down here, Dylan. There's a lot
of people hid out watching us. Been a long time
since a marshals killed and dog, I don't wanna hear
your talk, cut er. I s kept this over.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You did it, mister Dylan.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Well, he didn't hardly have his gun out before you
hit him.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
First time I was watching him.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I didn't wait for him. I drew first.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
You did.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Giving a man a chance to be arrested as one thing.
Shooting down a killers another. This is nothing but slaughter,
brainless slaughter. Like I said, it's the worst part of
this miserable job. I guess it helped ridden the country
(11:23):
of a man like Sam Kircher, shooting him down, killing
him that the trouble was that it made you feel
like a part of his own senselessness when he did it,
and everybody congratulating you afterwards and looking up to you.
That didn't help any That's one thing a gun man
(11:44):
like Kircher started off wrong in the first place. All
the talk, all the admiration for gunfighters, like when a
kid I met at the Texas Trail one night. A
couple of months later, he was sitting with Kitty when
I came in even in that time, Thanks Kitty.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
This is Marshall Dylan Kate.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I know I've seen him, Pate.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Huh Do I ever saw your on before? Fete?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
He wrote in yesterday.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Matt his first time.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Good thing too.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
He's only sixteenth.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, that's young, especially for a sound like Dodge. Where
are you from.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Fte on the west to here?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Cowboy?
Speaker 7 (12:26):
I was?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
That's what I've been arguing with him about.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Matt.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
He says he's puld being a cowboys.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
That's something why I got other things to do. Like
what I'm gonna buy me a gun, Marshall. A gun, sure,
and I'm gonna learn to use it too. A man's
no good without a gun.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Oh hate.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
You start carrying a gun and you get handy with it,
and you'll throw up to.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Be a US marshalist, I'm not kiddy.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
I mean it. I never saw a man start using
a gun yet that he didn't have to go on
using it the rest of his life, however long.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
That is.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Tell me something, Pepe, what gave you this idea?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
What's wrong with it? Everybody carries a gun. Of course,
everybody can't use him real good.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
But I'll learn. I'll get good good.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
As you are, Marshall. Oh sure, maybe even better. Who knows, that's.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
What I mean.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
All leads to nothing but getting killed.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Who cares how good you are with a gun.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
There's always somebody better.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
She's right, Pepe. Why don't you forget about this and
go find yourself a job out in the country somewhere
and go to work.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Huh, I'm gonna have to Marshall. I'm I'm broke right now.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh good, that's fine. You know anybody around here?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, look i'll tell you EMMITTT. Bowers is due and
tom tomorrow. He runs a big outfit and he can
always use an extra hand. You meet me in the
lobby the Dodge House tomorrow morning, and well we'll have
a talk with him.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Okay, I better be going now. I gotta find me
a place to sleep.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Oh uh pay uh here, here's a dollar here.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You can pay me back later.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
No, No, I couldn't take it, No, thanks can I
You're not kiddy.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's a long pay and I we's.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Got a lot of pride, that kid.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, that's mostly the wrong kind.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Oh, maybe.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Well, you'll probably forget about this gun fighting business once
he's back out in.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
The country where he belonged.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well, I hope, so there are enough gunman around already.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Oh, Paid, it's alright, don't worry about him.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, I won't, Kitty unless he comes back someday.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Pay.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It was at the dodge house next morning, and we
found him at Bower's there and got him a job
right on. They rode out of town together that evening,
and I watched him go, hoping that a lot of
hard work would give Paid something to think about besides
becoming a gunfighter. Anyway, I'd done what I could, and
I forgot about it till a couple of months later
(15:22):
when I happened to go into Jonah's General store.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Real morning, Marshall, Dillon.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All home, Miss Jonas, Well, I come here running the store.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Why hadn't you heard, Marshall? Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
No, I heard what My.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Husband's got the egg? You real bad. I've been taking
care of him and running the store too.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, man, But how do
you manage to do both?
Speaker 8 (15:52):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
I moved his bed into the storeroom out back. Matter
of fact, Doc Adams is in there with him. Now, Oh, oh,
that poor man. So he's had chills one day and
fever the next nigh onto a week.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Well, doctor fixing him up? Doctor cure almost, I.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Can cure anything but a liar Matt.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh hell about Doc, I didn't know you were listening.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I was listening. I heard what you said, and it
was a long way.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
From what you told me the other day.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Why what do you mean, doctor.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Missus Jonas he told me the only thing croakers were
good for was performing autopsies and signing death certificate.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
That's exactly what he.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Said, death certificate.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Now, I don't let him scare you. Man. Nobody ever
died of a gu yet, doctor or no.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Doctor?
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Oh, Mad, why aren't you are patrolling front street keeping
the peace somewhere like you paid to do.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Mad can't work all the time, doctor, Oh we can.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Yes, Well, I'll just remember that the next time you
come hounding me out of bed in the middle of
the night to patch up some bad man that you
just torn apart.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
When you're through here, I'll buy you a glass of beer. Doc.
It's awful hot today.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, I don't mind the heat.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
I'll take you up under the say missus Jonas. If
your husband complains about his ears roaring, it's the coinne
I gave him, So.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
You come in with even no I come in alone?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh you uh didn't quit, did you?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I quit a dream of time last night.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And I was afraid.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So, ma'am, you want me a six gun and a
whole stern of belt and all the ammunition. The rest
of my money you'll buy now.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Son, Ain't she's a little young to be carrying a gun.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm sixteen, and if I'm old enough to do a
man's work, I guess I'm old enough to live like
a man. Live like a man? Hm, you mean die
like when to Nurn't you young? Fella, I ain't afraid
to die. Mm I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
I've dug bullets out of all kinds of men, young
and old, and no matter how they talk, every one
of 'em's been afraid.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I get good enough, I'll do the killing if I'm
giving a decent chance.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Hey, tell me something. How'd you get started on all
this in the first place?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I don't mind telling you, Marshall. Now now, Now I
got money for a gun and I can start practicing.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Oh wait a minute, that's there's some particular man you're after.
Is that it?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, that's it, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well who is he?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
You me?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I'm gonna fight you, Marshall, and I'm gonna kidd you
if I can.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Why I never saw you before in my life till
you came here.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Pate's my first name, Marshall, So my last name's Kircher.
I heard about how you shot my brother, so I
come here to take his place.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Tate, Sam Kircher was nothing but a killer.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It was no good you drew first on him.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
What difference does it make? Your brother came after me
for only one reason to kill me? So's he could
be a big man. You think I'm gonna take a
chance of being killed for anything as brainless as that.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
There's rules to gun fighting, Marshall, he wasn't ready to draw.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Once you got all these crazy ideas, kid, who taught
you at killing people is a game of some sort.

what was wrong with him.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
He'd beat you if he'd have been ready.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Pete. Then you wait for a mad dog to bite
you before you try to stop him. And your brother
was ready. He rode in the dodge ready.

Well, I'll be ready for you in a few weeks,
I will.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
He will.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Look, Pate, I've been handling a gun for years. What
makes you think that you can go against me in
a few weeks unless you're planning something else.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
No, Marshall, I'll never shoot anybody in the back, not
even you.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, not bad Peate. But you sure got everything mixed up?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Why cause I'm only sixteen. You see what I can do, Marshall, You'll.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
See or what if I won't draw on you, I'll.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Kill you anyway, Like you say, What difference does it make, alright?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
If you're gonna act like your brother. I'll treat you
like your brother, and when you come gunning for may
shut you down as fast as I did him. So
I'll go ahead and practice practice how you like, but
when you face me, I'll have three bullets in you
before you clay your holster. I don't care how older.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Chester feels for me. Chester feels for me. You just
say it's chester Feels for me. If I thought getting
(22:39):
mad would scare some sense in the fate Kircher, I
was wrong. He went ahead and bought his six gun,
and every day he spent hours down by the Arkansas
practicing with it. In a few years. That kind of
concentration might have made him into a fair gunfighter, But
as it turned out, he didn't get a few years.
(23:00):
He didn't get moren about ten days, and those ten
days got spent fast. Well. Even then, I was sitting
on the porch not far from the Texas Trail, watching
the crowd push up and down Front Street. Ooh oh, hello, John.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Fat Yeah, oh okay, hey, mat Chess's in the trail there,
and he asked me to come find you.

Well, I get the bar in there, and he's making
fun of young Pate. Chester isn't sure how much Pet's
gonna take on him.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
It's more than just a bully, and he's dangerous.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Huh, Chester, try to make him stop, but.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
He didn't do any good night.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I hope Pate isn't full enough to try to take
him line. It'll kill him, sure if he does.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
I try to tell him he shouldn't be wearing a gun,
but you know Pate, he won't listen to anybody.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
H Uh, you better wait out here, ain't you MEI
the kid along riding he ain't bothering you. Then get
out of the way.

that gun away or you start.

Why Pete Jack Ryan is the same kind of man.
Your brother was always looking to kill somebody. And if
