Speaker 1 (00:11):
Around Dodge City and in the territory on West. There's
just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers,
and that's with the US Marshall and The Smell of
Gun Smoke. Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad, The story of
(00:44):
the violence that moved once with Young America, The story
of a man who moved with it. Matt Dillon, United
States Marshall.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I don't know where in the world could.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
He be Chester, you darn fool.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I'm char sir. I didn't see you laying.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
There slimming doors. You always do that.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Who do you think it was? Is there somebody after you?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
They could be there, a lot of people. Mm hmm Yo.
What do you got there?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I telegram I haven't to be passing by the deepot
and they gave it to me here.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Oh you're rated. I haven't got my eyes on you,
all right?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
My hit from Washington, mister, doing from the government.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Well, and I still know where I am anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, yes, sir, it's addressed you well Riada, Chester, All right,
it says, proceed to Fort Larned and receive return prisoner
from Colonel Blore.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Stop.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You will hold in Dodge until arrival of Roger Phillips
of Boston stop signed CJ. Calvert War Department.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
What does it mean? As usual? It doesn't explain much Chester.
But Fort Larner is a fifty five mile ride from here.
I gotta go over and pick up some prisoner and
then ride fifty five miles back to Dodge with him. Yes,
but what for mister, I don't know Chester. Maybe that
man from Boston can explain it when he gets here.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
That Colonel fort Larned must know I might. Can I
go with you?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
All right? We'll start in the morning at daylight. I
have a chair, Marshal, Oh, thank you. Our porters aren't
(03:06):
luxurious here. But we'll find a place of some sort
for you tonight. Or there are two of us, colonel fine,
And when will you want to start back to Dodge tomorrow?
If the prisoner's ready? Prisoner, and don't tell me they
got everything mixed up again. I came here to pick
up a return prisoner, whatever that is. And that's the
only description you had. That's all. I have to hold
(03:27):
him in Dodge till somebody from Boston comes after it.
I'd better explain, marshall. The prisoner was a captive of
the Cheyennes and returned to us several weeks ago. Ah,
I see, well, can't you keep him here at Fort
Larnert or just send him home? It's a woman, Marshal.
What Missus Phillips and the man who's coming out from
(03:49):
Boston for her as her husband? It'll take him several weeks.
So it was thought best that Missus Phillips should be
in Dodge. I never heard of sending a woman to
Dodge toward be better off. But I'll take her there,
and that's what they want. Why'd you find her? Anyway?
I perhaps I should tell you the whole story. Missus
Phillips was captured while traveling to join her husband in
(04:12):
Denver ten years ago. Ten years it's a long time
for a woman to live with Indians, Yes it is.
A stage was attacked by the Chayennes and everyone but
her was killed. Yeah, well, how'd you get hold of her?
She won't talk much, Marshall, but evidently she managed to escape.
You see, we were chasing a band of Chyennes led
by Chief Blackhorn a few weeks back, and we ran
(04:33):
into Missus Phillips and a girl out on the prairie.
A girl, a Cheyenne, not a white girl. That's strange.
But anyway, what are you going to do with the girl, Colonel?
It's all been decided in Washington. She's to go on
to a reservation, oh a gun, and I don't have
to worry about her. Well, I'm afraid, Marshall, it's going
to take a little time. Huh what do you mean?
(04:54):
Missus Phillips absolutely refuses to be separated from her, But
right now I have to take them both to die,
I'm afraid. So I'll send for the girl when missus
Phillips goes home. Howl's the girl, perhaps somewhere between eight
and twelve. Well, I suppose I'll meet him at supper.
I don't think so. She insists on eating alone with
(05:14):
the girl. And by the way, they both still in
Indian dress. You will have to do something about that
and dodge. Colonel. Do you have a bottle of good
whiskey hidden in that desk? Of course I have, Masha,
But don't worry. I'm sure everything will go smoothly. Sure,
(05:46):
I'll ask the colonel if he can spare a wagon Chester.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's going to be an awful slowe trip in a wagon.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I can't be helped at least forgetting an early start.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hey by going there's a.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Colonel soldiers always got up early Chester, that would.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Keep me out of the army all by itself.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Good morning, Colonel the moony Marshall, Chester, Good morning chair.
Missus Phillips is waiting inside, Marshall. Shall we go in? Oh? Well,
you better stay here, Chester, Missus Phillips, I've brought Marshall Dylan.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
How do you do, Marshall, ma'am? Come in, gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
This is gray Fawn.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You may call her Fawn if you prefer.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Does. She speak Englishman a little, but.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
You mustn't expect her to talk. She's a little too
frightened of white men.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I've come to take you to Dodge, Miss Phillips.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I know it's very kind of you. We're ready.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I forgot to ask you, Colonel, if I could borrow
a wagon. I certainly, Marshall, and I'll send a soldier
to drive it.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That won't be necessary, gentlemen, Vaughn and I have horses.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
And we can ride.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's a long trip, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I'm sure we've made longer. Once Marshall, we're ready to leave.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
When you are, i'll have your horses brought up at once, missus.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Phillips, Thank you, colonel.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's fifty five miles, ma'am, and there's no place to
spend the night.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
You forget, Marshall.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I've been a cheyenne for ten years.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
All right, Well let's get started.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I swear men's Phillips. I don't think you and vonn
are half as tired as I am.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Chief black Corn insisted the women ride almost as much
as the men.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Chester, What sort of a fellow is he, ma'am? Ever
acquainted with any Indians?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Real?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Well, never mind that now, Chester, he'll us stop here.
This is the dodge house, Miss Phillips. I'll go see
if they have a room for you.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Thank you, Marshall, take my horse, Chester.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yes, maybe you better tie them all up over there.
I'm sure they got plenty of rooms. I'll be back
in a minute. Good evening, Hank, Oh, Marshall, where you been?
I got a couple of women outside, Hank. They'll want
(08:35):
a room here for maybe two weeks, and.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
So sure, Marshall, Sure I need some guests in this
place two weeks and that's fine.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Give me your best room. They've come a long way, certainly,
certainly you just bring them right in Chester. Yes, sir,
it's okay, come on in. Where are they from? Marsh Well,
it's a long story, Hank, And don't ask them. Okay,
(09:07):
Well I'll be is this them? This is Hank Risling
Miss Phillips, missus Phillips. I'll get you some different clothes tomorrow. Man.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
That's all right, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You really a white woman? Yeah, of course she is.
What about the girl, the girl Cheyenne, but she's staying
with miss Phillips. Oh no, not here, she ain't. I
listen to me, Hank. Miss Phillips has been a captive
of the Cheyennes for ten years. She got away and
brought this girl with her. Or they're tired and I
want a room.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Never mind, Marshall, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
The white lady can stay here. But I ain't taking
in no filthy Indians.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
You should be ashamed, and by.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Tomorrow you'll have to get out of that costume yourself.
Shut up, Hank.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
I ain't running no hotels for Indians, or, come to
think of it, even for them that looks like Indians.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Come on, let's get out of here. I apologize for him,
missus Willis. There'll only be trouble.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I knew it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I'll find a place for you. Don't worry. Chester, go
over there and get Kitty. Huh, tell her I want
to see her right away.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yes, it isn't going to work, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Now, manam nobody's going to bother you, and I promise
you they won't.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It's been so long, so much has happened, but.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
You've escaped, now you're out of it.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
No, no, Marshall, I didn't escape what I couldn't have escaped.
I was allowed to leave, and Fan was allowed to
go with me.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I never heard of Indians doing that before.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It was the chief black Horn. But why you may
not understand it, But after the first few years, after
I adapted myself to the tribe and its ways, I
was treated kindly. But even so I knew I could
never be happy with the shy ends away from my own.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
People and so back on. Just let you come back.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yes, I know it seems strange, but he's a strong man, Marshall,
A very strong man.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
All right. But what about Fawn here? He must have
known she'd end up on a reservation. No. Never, Hello,
ma oh Kitty, this is miss Phillips.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I know ESA told me. I'm glad to meet you,
Missus Phillips. Thank you, Kitty.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
I got a room for you and the girl. It's
out back of the Texas Trail. Belongs to a friend
of mine. She'll move in with me while you need it.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Oh, it's very kind of you and her.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Well.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
I was never caught by the Indians, but I know
what it's like to be a stranger in town.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Come on, I'll show it to.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
You, and then we can get something to eat, and
I hope I can repay you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Nonsense, take the horses, will you jest? Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Shall I go, missus Phillips, excuse me, Kitty, I want
to say something to the marshal. First. Sure, here, Faun,
you take my hand, we'll walk on ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
What is it, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
A moment ago you asked about Fawn. You said she'd
go to a reservation.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Well, that's what the colonel said.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Fawn will stay with me always.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, I guess you're pretty fond of her.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Yes, I am, you see, Marshall, Fawn is my daughter.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
We will return for the second act of gun Smoke
in just a moment, but first tomorrow in the daytime.
On most of these same stations, CBS Radio welcomes to
the network the distinguished conductor Leopold Stokowski to conduct the
new musical series twentieth Century Concert Hall. Mister Stokowski conducts
the CBS Radio Chamber Orchestra in the radio premiere of
(13:26):
Nikolai Berezowski's Adagio.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
From the Sextet Concerto.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
This is a radio premiere in tribute to the composer
who was with the CBS Radio's orchestra for twenty two
years until his death last month. Twentieth Century Concert Hall
starts tomorrow now the second act of gun Smoke.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It took a lot of courage for Miss Phillips to
come back into the white man's world after ten years
among the Cheyennes, and to bring her daughter with her.
I didn't tell anybody about it. I figured she'd talk
for herself when the time came. A week passed, and
(14:22):
while the people at Dodge regarded Miss Phillips as a curiosity,
they didn't take to her treating the child as an equal,
and so they avoided them both. Kenny looked after him, though,
and I saw them whenever I could, but it was
doc they really impressed. I never saw such a peer, Matt.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Why they lived to be one hundred, both of them?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
They look healthy, are right? Ah? There are a couple
of chairs, Doc, let's say a while.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
Oh yes, uh, I swear if I wasn't so old,
i'd go live with the Indians myself.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I don't think you'd like it, Doc, I wouldn't wanna
do much work.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
No, not for me, as far as I can tell.
There wouldn't be no patience. They're all too healthy.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Or before you go, Doc, tell me something, eh. Do
you think the girl is as frightened as she was
at first?
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Oh, she'll come out of it. Just give her time.
This is quite a change for Yeah, yeah, sure is.
There's one thing about Fawn though, What she isn't pure shying?
Well she isn't, you know as well as I do
this year?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Isn't that makes sort of a problem from miss Phillips,
doesn't it, Doug? People just treat her worse if they
knew the truth. Man Marshall Dylan, Hello, I'm jet hunter.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (16:04):
I'm on my way to California. Marshall, So I ain't
gonna cause trouble. Well, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I want to talk to that woman missus Phillips, you
brought the dodge down?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
What for?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
I'll tell her that, Marshall. I just thought maybe it'd
be easier if you took me there. You can stay
while I'm talking to her, if you like.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
All right, Hunter, she lives back in the Texas Trail. Here,
come on, I say the way, all right. Uh, I'll
see you later. Doctor.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Sure, Matt.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
You'll live around here.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Harvn Ranching Marshall's two cold winters.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I'm going to California down family. No, I'm alone now here.
Speaker 10 (17:03):
We are, come in, Marshall, Oh, both of you, Miss Phillips.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Uh, this is Jeff Hunter. How do you DoD know you, ma'am?
He wants to talk to you, Miss Phillips. He looks
like a good man to me. Or how wouldn't have
brought him here?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Well, you're most welcome, mister Hunter.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Miss Phillips, I've heard your story, some of it.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Anyway, I thought maybe you might know something about my wife.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Your wife, Yes, ma'am. The apple ho has captured her
about seven years ago.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
I know there's some Arappa Hose and Cheyennes that are friendly,
and I was wondering if you ever heard of her.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Her name was Ruth.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Oh, the Irappa Hose had a white woman, once blonde,
captured on the Solomon River. I never met at though.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
My wife's a blonde, and that's the place that happened.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Oh, mister Hunter. When I heard of her, she'd already died.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Ruth never was very strong. Shouldn't have brought her to
this country.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Wasn't your fault, mister Hunter. Things just happened sometimes, that's all.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Maybe it's better she died.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
That could be.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Ohe But it wasn't too hard for you, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
It wasn't easy.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
That's a right, pretty little girl. What's her name?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
We call her Faon.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Oh, that's pretty named too. She takes after you, ma'am.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
What well, of course she's a little different in color,
but she kind of has your mouth, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I've never said a word, miss Phillips.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Mister Hunter, how do you know Fawn's my daughter?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Why? I just knew so?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
How'd you know?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Well?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
I heard there was a little girl. Nobody said so,
but I figured she must be yours. And then when
I saw her, just now on who she was. I
hope I haven't said anything to trouble you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Man.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
No, no, you haven't.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
That.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
People have already made it hard.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Sure, people talk, but they don't know. They got no
idea what it was like.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That's very true.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Figured you're lucky you're able to bring her with you,
mister Hunter.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Fawn is a chief's daughter Blackhorn. It was he who
allowed us to leave the tribe.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I'll be going now, ma'am. I hope everything will be
all right with you.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Goodbye, mister Hunter, goodbye.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Thanks for talking to me. I'll see you later, Miss Phillips. Yes, Marshall,
Jeb Hunter didn't leave Dodge right away. Kitty told me
(20:19):
that he ran into Miss Phillips on the street the
next day, and I had another conversation later. I heard
he took her and the girl fishing. I figured he
was good company for him and no harm could come
of it. I was busy and I sort of forgot
about him for a few days, when one morning a
(20:41):
man walked into the office.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Marshall Dylan, I'm.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Phillips, Roger Phillips.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
I've come for my wife.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Well, when did you get into Dodge?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
I came in the Santa Fe last night.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Last night.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
I thought it wisest to wait till morning.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Ah well, it's your business, Phillips. Chester, go tell miss
Phllips her husband's here. I'll bring him over in a
few minutes.
Speaker 11 (21:15):
Yea, sir, I'll go tell her, missus yelling, Oh, this
is my first trip west in many years, ever since
missus Phillips was lost in fact, yeah, are you staying staying?
Speaker 12 (21:34):
Oh no, no, we'll go straight back to Boston. I
much prefer it there.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I see. Well, miss Phillips is fine, although I have
an idea you'll see some changes in I expect that.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I expect that she's been through a terrible experience.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Marshall.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Of course, we'll we'll get her back to normal soon enough.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Seems pretty normal to me right now.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
Really, that's hard to imagine after ten years among the savages.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
I only hope she hasn't.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Well lost too much. She was a well bred woman, Marshall, and.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
She still is. She's just learned more.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I told her, mister Dylan.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
All right, Chester, I'll show you where she's staying. Phillips,
come along.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I sure didn't think much of him, did you, miss Dylan?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Not much?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Chester, awful upity. Seems a shame A fine woman like that. Well,
maybe she can't handle him if he's worth handling.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's not our problem Chester.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, no, sure, I guess not, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I want to talk to you. Good morning, miss Phillips.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Good morning Marshall.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
The Marshall you listen to me?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 13 (23:09):
Well, I've just learned the full truth. I understand you've
won about it all along.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I hope you'll forgive me, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I told him, you knew there's nothing wrong with that man.
Speaker 13 (23:19):
The whole thing is wrong. The girl will go to
a reservation where she belongs. This was arranged in Washington.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
No, Roger, never, never, No, Wait a.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Minute, ma'am. Look, Phillips. The colonel at Fort Larne had
told me the arrangements, but he didn't know the facts,
and either of the people in Washington. Things are a
little different now, don't you think.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
Well, you can hardly expect me to take that girl
back to Boston.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
It's up to you, I guess.
Speaker 13 (23:45):
Well, then go over there and get her, Marshall, and
hold her here in jail until we leave Dodge, and
then you can do what.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
You like with her after that. Roger, you must be
a pretty big man in Boston, of cos. I am,
but this is dodd sitting. Nobody ever heard of you here.
Why don't you calm down and decide what you're gonna do.
I know what I'm.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Going to do.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I won't leave her, Roger, I won't.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Have her around here anywhere else.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Then I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
What do you mean You're sorry?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Go back to Boston. I'll stay here.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Do you know what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Yes? I do.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I'll divorce you. You'll never get a penny.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I don't want your money.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
I wouldn't have it very well.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Then stay no longer anything but a squawd Chester. Yes,
there's a train east leaven soon throw him on it.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Oh, I'll do it gladly, mister Dylan.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Miss Phillips, go to your place and wait there for me. Huh,
I won't be long, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Marshall, Come in, Marshall, why mister Hunter.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Marshall told me to come along, ma'am. I hope it's
all right.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Come in, Thank you man. Ms Phillips. I told Hunter
here that your husband arrived and that he's left. Yes,
but I didn't tell him that he might still try
(25:50):
to cause trouble about the girl, could he. Colonel Blower's
orders were to put her on a reservation and take
a long time. I'm to change that through Washington and
Phillips knows it.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
What can I do?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Marshall, clear out where they can't find you. They'll all
forget about it in the time. That's a good idea, ma'am,
if you don't mind my saying so.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
But how I can't just ride back out onto the
prairie with her?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
No, now she can't, can she Hunter? I'm sure it
wouldn't be right.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Well, ma'am, Yes, I'm head for California. Like I told you,
I can leave any time. I got plenty of room
for two more like you and your pretty little girl.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Do you really want to.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
I've been waiting around Dodge so as i'd be sure
you were going to be all right?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You understand, Yes, Yes, I understand.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I don't know where in the world could.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
He be Chester, you darn fool.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I'm char sir. I didn't see you laying.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
There slimming doors. You always do that.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Who do you think it was? Is there somebody after you?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
They could be there, a lot of people. Mm hmm Yo.
What do you got there?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I telegram I haven't to be passing by the deepot
and they gave it to me here.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Oh you're rated. I haven't got my eyes on you,
all right?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
My hit from Washington, mister, doing from the government.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Well, and I still know where I am anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, yes, sir, it's addressed you well Riada, Chester, All right,
it says, proceed to Fort Larned and receive return prisoner
from Colonel Blore.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Stop.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You will hold in Dodge until arrival of Roger Phillips
of Boston stop signed CJ. Calvert War Department.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
What does it mean? As usual? It doesn't explain much Chester.
But Fort Larner is a fifty five mile ride from here.
I gotta go over and pick up some prisoner and
then ride fifty five miles back to Dodge with him. Yes,
but what for mister, I don't know Chester. Maybe that
man from Boston can explain it when he gets here.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
That Colonel fort Larned must know I might. Can I
go with you?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
All right? We'll start in the morning at daylight. I
have a chair, Marshal, Oh, thank you. Our porters aren't
(03:06):
luxurious here. But we'll find a place of some sort
for you tonight. Or there are two of us, colonel fine,
And when will you want to start back to Dodge tomorrow?
If the prisoner's ready? Prisoner, and don't tell me they
got everything mixed up again. I came here to pick
up a return prisoner, whatever that is. And that's the
only description you had. That's all. I have to hold
(03:27):
him in Dodge till somebody from Boston comes after it.
I'd better explain, marshall. The prisoner was a captive of
the Cheyennes and returned to us several weeks ago. Ah,
I see, well, can't you keep him here at Fort
Larnert or just send him home? It's a woman, Marshal.
What Missus Phillips and the man who's coming out from
(03:49):
Boston for her as her husband? It'll take him several weeks.
So it was thought best that Missus Phillips should be
in Dodge. I never heard of sending a woman to
Dodge toward be better off. But I'll take her there,
and that's what they want. Why'd you find her? Anyway?
I perhaps I should tell you the whole story. Missus
Phillips was captured while traveling to join her husband in
(04:12):
Denver ten years ago. Ten years it's a long time
for a woman to live with Indians, Yes it is.
A stage was attacked by the Chayennes and everyone but
her was killed. Yeah, well, how'd you get hold of her?
She won't talk much, Marshall, but evidently she managed to escape.
You see, we were chasing a band of Chyennes led
by Chief Blackhorn a few weeks back, and we ran
(04:33):
into Missus Phillips and a girl out on the prairie.
A girl, a Cheyenne, not a white girl. That's strange.
But anyway, what are you going to do with the girl, Colonel?
It's all been decided in Washington. She's to go on
to a reservation, oh a gun, and I don't have
to worry about her. Well, I'm afraid, Marshall, it's going
to take a little time. Huh what do you mean?
(04:54):
Missus Phillips absolutely refuses to be separated from her, But
right now I have to take them both to die,
I'm afraid. So I'll send for the girl when missus
Phillips goes home. Howl's the girl, perhaps somewhere between eight
and twelve. Well, I suppose I'll meet him at supper.
I don't think so. She insists on eating alone with
(05:14):
the girl. And by the way, they both still in
Indian dress. You will have to do something about that
and dodge. Colonel. Do you have a bottle of good
whiskey hidden in that desk? Of course I have, Masha,
But don't worry. I'm sure everything will go smoothly. Sure,
(05:46):
I'll ask the colonel if he can spare a wagon Chester.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's going to be an awful slowe trip in a wagon.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I can't be helped at least forgetting an early start.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hey by going there's a.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Colonel soldiers always got up early Chester, that would.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Keep me out of the army all by itself.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Good morning, Colonel the moony Marshall, Chester, Good morning chair.
Missus Phillips is waiting inside, Marshall. Shall we go in? Oh? Well,
you better stay here, Chester, Missus Phillips, I've brought Marshall Dylan.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
How do you do, Marshall, ma'am? Come in, gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
This is gray Fawn.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You may call her Fawn if you prefer.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Does. She speak Englishman a little, but.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
You mustn't expect her to talk. She's a little too
frightened of white men.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I've come to take you to Dodge, Miss Phillips.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I know it's very kind of you. We're ready.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I forgot to ask you, Colonel, if I could borrow
a wagon. I certainly, Marshall, and I'll send a soldier
to drive it.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That won't be necessary, gentlemen, Vaughn and I have horses.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
And we can ride.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's a long trip, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I'm sure we've made longer. Once Marshall, we're ready to leave.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
When you are, i'll have your horses brought up at once, missus.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Phillips, Thank you, colonel.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's fifty five miles, ma'am, and there's no place to
spend the night.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
You forget, Marshall.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I've been a cheyenne for ten years.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
All right, Well let's get started.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I swear men's Phillips. I don't think you and vonn
are half as tired as I am.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Chief black Corn insisted the women ride almost as much
as the men.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Chester, What sort of a fellow is he, ma'am? Ever
acquainted with any Indians?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Real?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Well, never mind that now, Chester, he'll us stop here.
This is the dodge house, Miss Phillips. I'll go see
if they have a room for you.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Thank you, Marshall, take my horse, Chester.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yes, maybe you better tie them all up over there.
I'm sure they got plenty of rooms. I'll be back
in a minute. Good evening, Hank, Oh, Marshall, where you been?
I got a couple of women outside, Hank. They'll want
(08:35):
a room here for maybe two weeks, and.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
So sure, Marshall, Sure I need some guests in this
place two weeks and that's fine.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Give me your best room. They've come a long way, certainly,
certainly you just bring them right in Chester. Yes, sir,
it's okay, come on in. Where are they from? Marsh Well,
it's a long story, Hank, And don't ask them. Okay,
(09:07):
Well I'll be is this them? This is Hank Risling
Miss Phillips, missus Phillips. I'll get you some different clothes tomorrow. Man.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
That's all right, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You really a white woman? Yeah, of course she is.
What about the girl, the girl Cheyenne, but she's staying
with miss Phillips. Oh no, not here, she ain't. I
listen to me, Hank. Miss Phillips has been a captive
of the Cheyennes for ten years. She got away and
brought this girl with her. Or they're tired and I
want a room.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Never mind, Marshall, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
The white lady can stay here. But I ain't taking
in no filthy Indians.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
You should be ashamed, and by.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Tomorrow you'll have to get out of that costume yourself.
Shut up, Hank.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
I ain't running no hotels for Indians, or, come to
think of it, even for them that looks like Indians.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Come on, let's get out of here. I apologize for him,
missus Willis. There'll only be trouble.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I knew it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I'll find a place for you. Don't worry. Chester, go
over there and get Kitty. Huh, tell her I want
to see her right away.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yes, it isn't going to work, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Now, manam nobody's going to bother you, and I promise
you they won't.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It's been so long, so much has happened, but.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
You've escaped, now you're out of it.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
No, no, Marshall, I didn't escape what I couldn't have escaped.
I was allowed to leave, and Fan was allowed to
go with me.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I never heard of Indians doing that before.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It was the chief black Horn. But why you may
not understand it, But after the first few years, after
I adapted myself to the tribe and its ways, I
was treated kindly. But even so I knew I could
never be happy with the shy ends away from my own.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
People and so back on. Just let you come back.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yes, I know it seems strange, but he's a strong man, Marshall,
A very strong man.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
All right. But what about Fawn here? He must have
known she'd end up on a reservation. No. Never, Hello,
ma oh Kitty, this is miss Phillips.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I know ESA told me. I'm glad to meet you,
Missus Phillips. Thank you, Kitty.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
I got a room for you and the girl. It's
out back of the Texas Trail. Belongs to a friend
of mine. She'll move in with me while you need it.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Oh, it's very kind of you and her.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Well.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
I was never caught by the Indians, but I know
what it's like to be a stranger in town.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Come on, I'll show it to.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
You, and then we can get something to eat, and
I hope I can repay you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Nonsense, take the horses, will you jest? Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Shall I go, missus Phillips, excuse me, Kitty, I want
to say something to the marshal. First. Sure, here, Faun,
you take my hand, we'll walk on ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
What is it, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
A moment ago you asked about Fawn. You said she'd
go to a reservation.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Well, that's what the colonel said.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Fawn will stay with me always.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, I guess you're pretty fond of her.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Yes, I am, you see, Marshall, Fawn is my daughter.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
We will return for the second act of gun Smoke
in just a moment, but first tomorrow in the daytime.
On most of these same stations, CBS Radio welcomes to
the network the distinguished conductor Leopold Stokowski to conduct the
new musical series twentieth Century Concert Hall. Mister Stokowski conducts
the CBS Radio Chamber Orchestra in the radio premiere of
(13:26):
Nikolai Berezowski's Adagio.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
From the Sextet Concerto.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
This is a radio premiere in tribute to the composer
who was with the CBS Radio's orchestra for twenty two
years until his death last month. Twentieth Century Concert Hall
starts tomorrow now the second act of gun Smoke.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It took a lot of courage for Miss Phillips to
come back into the white man's world after ten years
among the Cheyennes, and to bring her daughter with her.
I didn't tell anybody about it. I figured she'd talk
for herself when the time came. A week passed, and
(14:22):
while the people at Dodge regarded Miss Phillips as a curiosity,
they didn't take to her treating the child as an equal,
and so they avoided them both. Kenny looked after him, though,
and I saw them whenever I could, but it was
doc they really impressed. I never saw such a peer, Matt.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Why they lived to be one hundred, both of them?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
They look healthy, are right? Ah? There are a couple
of chairs, Doc, let's say a while.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
Oh yes, uh, I swear if I wasn't so old,
i'd go live with the Indians myself.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I don't think you'd like it, Doc, I wouldn't wanna
do much work.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
No, not for me, as far as I can tell.
There wouldn't be no patience. They're all too healthy.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Or before you go, Doc, tell me something, eh. Do
you think the girl is as frightened as she was
at first?
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Oh, she'll come out of it. Just give her time.
This is quite a change for Yeah, yeah, sure is.
There's one thing about Fawn though, What she isn't pure shying?
Well she isn't, you know as well as I do
this year?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Isn't that makes sort of a problem from miss Phillips,
doesn't it, Doug? People just treat her worse if they
knew the truth. Man Marshall Dylan, Hello, I'm jet hunter.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (16:04):
I'm on my way to California. Marshall, So I ain't
gonna cause trouble. Well, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I want to talk to that woman missus Phillips, you
brought the dodge down?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
What for?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
I'll tell her that, Marshall. I just thought maybe it'd
be easier if you took me there. You can stay
while I'm talking to her, if you like.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
All right, Hunter, she lives back in the Texas Trail. Here,
come on, I say the way, all right. Uh, I'll
see you later. Doctor.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Sure, Matt.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
You'll live around here.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Harvn Ranching Marshall's two cold winters.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I'm going to California down family. No, I'm alone now here.
Speaker 10 (17:03):
We are, come in, Marshall, Oh, both of you, Miss Phillips.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Uh, this is Jeff Hunter. How do you DoD know you, ma'am?
He wants to talk to you, Miss Phillips. He looks
like a good man to me. Or how wouldn't have
brought him here?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Well, you're most welcome, mister Hunter.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Miss Phillips, I've heard your story, some of it.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Anyway, I thought maybe you might know something about my wife.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Your wife, Yes, ma'am. The apple ho has captured her
about seven years ago.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
I know there's some Arappa Hose and Cheyennes that are friendly,
and I was wondering if you ever heard of her.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Her name was Ruth.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Oh, the Irappa Hose had a white woman, once blonde,
captured on the Solomon River. I never met at though.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
My wife's a blonde, and that's the place that happened.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Oh, mister Hunter. When I heard of her, she'd already died.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Ruth never was very strong. Shouldn't have brought her to
this country.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Wasn't your fault, mister Hunter. Things just happened sometimes, that's all.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Maybe it's better she died.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
That could be.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Ohe But it wasn't too hard for you, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
It wasn't easy.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
That's a right, pretty little girl. What's her name?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
We call her Faon.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Oh, that's pretty named too. She takes after you, ma'am.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
What well, of course she's a little different in color,
but she kind of has your mouth, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I've never said a word, miss Phillips.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Mister Hunter, how do you know Fawn's my daughter?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Why? I just knew so?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
How'd you know?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Well?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
I heard there was a little girl. Nobody said so,
but I figured she must be yours. And then when
I saw her, just now on who she was. I
hope I haven't said anything to trouble you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Man.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
No, no, you haven't.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
That.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
People have already made it hard.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Sure, people talk, but they don't know. They got no
idea what it was like.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That's very true.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Figured you're lucky you're able to bring her with you,
mister Hunter.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Fawn is a chief's daughter Blackhorn. It was he who
allowed us to leave the tribe.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I'll be going now, ma'am. I hope everything will be
all right with you.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Goodbye, mister Hunter, goodbye.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Thanks for talking to me. I'll see you later, Miss Phillips. Yes, Marshall,
Jeb Hunter didn't leave Dodge right away. Kitty told me
(20:19):
that he ran into Miss Phillips on the street the
next day, and I had another conversation later. I heard
he took her and the girl fishing. I figured he
was good company for him and no harm could come
of it. I was busy and I sort of forgot
about him for a few days, when one morning a
(20:41):
man walked into the office.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Marshall Dylan, I'm.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Phillips, Roger Phillips.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
I've come for my wife.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Well, when did you get into Dodge?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
I came in the Santa Fe last night.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Last night.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
I thought it wisest to wait till morning.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Ah well, it's your business, Phillips. Chester, go tell miss
Phllips her husband's here. I'll bring him over in a
few minutes.
Speaker 11 (21:15):
Yea, sir, I'll go tell her, missus yelling, Oh, this
is my first trip west in many years, ever since
missus Phillips was lost in fact, yeah, are you staying staying?
Speaker 12 (21:34):
Oh no, no, we'll go straight back to Boston. I
much prefer it there.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I see. Well, miss Phillips is fine, although I have
an idea you'll see some changes in I expect that.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I expect that she's been through a terrible experience.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Marshall.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Of course, we'll we'll get her back to normal soon enough.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Seems pretty normal to me right now.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
Really, that's hard to imagine after ten years among the savages.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
I only hope she hasn't.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
Well lost too much. She was a well bred woman, Marshall, and.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
She still is. She's just learned more.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I told her, mister Dylan.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
All right, Chester, I'll show you where she's staying. Phillips,
come along.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I sure didn't think much of him, did you, miss Dylan?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Not much?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Chester, awful upity. Seems a shame A fine woman like that. Well,
maybe she can't handle him if he's worth handling.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's not our problem Chester.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, no, sure, I guess not, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I want to talk to you. Good morning, miss Phillips.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Good morning Marshall.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
The Marshall you listen to me?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 13 (23:09):
Well, I've just learned the full truth. I understand you've
won about it all along.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I hope you'll forgive me, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I told him, you knew there's nothing wrong with that man.
Speaker 13 (23:19):
The whole thing is wrong. The girl will go to
a reservation where she belongs. This was arranged in Washington.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
No, Roger, never, never, No, Wait a.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Minute, ma'am. Look, Phillips. The colonel at Fort Larne had
told me the arrangements, but he didn't know the facts,
and either of the people in Washington. Things are a
little different now, don't you think.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
Well, you can hardly expect me to take that girl
back to Boston.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
It's up to you, I guess.
Speaker 13 (23:45):
Well, then go over there and get her, Marshall, and
hold her here in jail until we leave Dodge, and
then you can do what.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
You like with her after that. Roger, you must be
a pretty big man in Boston, of cos. I am,
but this is dodd sitting. Nobody ever heard of you here.
Why don't you calm down and decide what you're gonna do.
I know what I'm.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Going to do.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I won't leave her, Roger, I won't.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Have her around here anywhere else.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Then I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
What do you mean You're sorry?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Go back to Boston. I'll stay here.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Do you know what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Yes? I do.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I'll divorce you. You'll never get a penny.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I don't want your money.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
I wouldn't have it very well.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Then stay no longer anything but a squawd Chester. Yes,
there's a train east leaven soon throw him on it.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Oh, I'll do it gladly, mister Dylan.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Miss Phillips, go to your place and wait there for me. Huh,
I won't be long, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Marshall, Come in, Marshall, why mister Hunter.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Marshall told me to come along, ma'am. I hope it's
all right.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Come in, Thank you man. Ms Phillips. I told Hunter
here that your husband arrived and that he's left. Yes,
but I didn't tell him that he might still try
(25:50):
to cause trouble about the girl, could he. Colonel Blower's
orders were to put her on a reservation and take
a long time. I'm to change that through Washington and
Phillips knows it.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
What can I do?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Marshall, clear out where they can't find you. They'll all
forget about it in the time. That's a good idea, ma'am,
if you don't mind my saying so.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
But how I can't just ride back out onto the
prairie with her?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
No, now she can't, can she Hunter? I'm sure it
wouldn't be right.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Well, ma'am, Yes, I'm head for California. Like I told you,
I can leave any time. I got plenty of room
for two more like you and your pretty little girl.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Do you really want to.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
I've been waiting around Dodge so as i'd be sure
you were going to be all right?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You understand, Yes, Yes, I understand.
