Speaker 1 (00:10):
Gun Smoke brought to you by L and M Filters.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is it.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
L and M is best stands out from all the
rest 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 a US Marshall and the smell of
gun Smoke. Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad, transcrug story of
(00:59):
the violence that moved west with young America and the
story of a man will move with it.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first
man they look for and the last they want to meet.
It's a chancy job and it makes a man watchful
and a little lonely.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Oh my man, I mean that? How do mister Dyning Chester?
Oh it's a sad thing.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Maybe the cavalry does come busting into town, getting drunk,
spoiling for trouble sometimes, but I don't like to see
him coming this way, sewed up in sacks, laid out
over their horses.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yeah, I know, Chester, if they won't meet some men,
feels the sad and mad too, And I'll be plenty
like that.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Oh that's shirt, look at him lining up all down
the street watching like that.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Will Bailey over there, h he's got more reason than some.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
I know.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
His brother's in one of them sacks. Imagine him standing
there watching, wondering which one or what's a awful sad thing.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Ah. Let's just hope there'll be no more brought in
like this. M m.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Oh my, huh, I was wondering where you were.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Uh. I guess I wasn't very hungry kidding.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Ah, and I crooked made up some of that beast,
do you like? Uh?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Huh, I guess I could manage a little then.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh, I'll get it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You sit down there, I'll be back to my dad.
Don't need to do nothing. Hello Bailey, Oh hello Marshall.
I uh, I'm sorry about your brother.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
Yeah, we all are a lot of good.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
It does.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, I know how you feel about the cavalry. Get
the ones that did it. The cavalry, it'll.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Take 'em weeks to get ready.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
By the time they go out, those commanchers will be
nowhere near cold craik. Oh, Marshall, we're going out on
our own.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, better think that over the Bailey. We thought it.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Over, and we won't bother about which engines did it either.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I had to do a lot of good, wasn't it
starting an Indian war all over that.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
I'm gonna argue with you, Marshall, But I'll tell you
one thing. There's one man right here in town who's
gonna die first.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You mean Amos Cartwright.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
That's right, the one who led those boys into ambush
at Cold Craig May.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That's only a wild idea. Amos cott Wright's always been
a good, reliable scout.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
He came back, didn't he. He was the only one
who got out alive, wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He was scouting way out ahead.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
And it was his job to spot the comanches.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But he didn't. All there might have.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Been reasons, Yeah, there were reasons, all right. He's a
commanche itself, lived with him, married one rode on war
parties with him, and he led that patrol into ambush
for Kellen.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Cart Wright's not gonna help your brother, and I could
get you into trouble with a war. I'll take my
chances on that, all right, Bailly, Maybe in a couple
of days you'll cool down and see some reasons.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Here. It is getting cold.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh thanks kidding.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
That, Bailey's pretty hot atn't he can't say I blame
him too much.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
No, I can't either too much.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You think what he says about Amos is true?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Man, I think you ought to have proof before you
condemn a mind kidding.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
But Damos is a queer sort, so a.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Lot of others out here. Yeah, that's no reason to
kill it. No, of course, Well how is it?
Speaker 7 (05:31):
How is it?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh? I guess I was hungry and my thoughts before
the cooks get a little better.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
I guess there's still room for improvement, Amos Carton, All right,
don't touch your gun, Bailey.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You don't stay like that ambush. You better find someplace
else to eat today.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
I come to see baby, all right, you have seen him,
now go on, mister. I don't allow nobody to say
things about me.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I said him, and i'll say him again. You're no
better than the Comanche yourself. You're lyons, sneaking, murdering savage
with your buckskin shirt, and you come at you like
it's bright and hand and you're.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
The same as trolose men at cool crazy.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
All right, come on a miss, mister, I'll see you later.
Where are you taking me, Marshall?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Just outside here, Amos, this will all blow over in
a couple of days. But until it does, I think
maybe you better stay out of sight, maybe out of
the fort.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
I can take care of him.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's not just him. He's got half the town believe
in it.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
You believe it, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I don't believe anything. I don't see the proof for it.
And speaking of proof, if you've got any on your
side that have to bring it out.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
How do you prove something that nobody saw, nobody alive?
Eddies ill?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Maybe if you ask the colonel for a stake.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
I don't ask no man's.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Help, all right, then be pigheaded. I might ask him myself.
But you take my advice, Amos, you walk easy for
a while.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
No need for you to bother about me, Marshall. I
can handle this myself.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I hope, so, Amos, I hope.
Speaker 10 (07:21):
So this is it.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Eleen M Filters. It stands out from all the rest,
Miracle tears, much more flavor. Eleen M's got everything. It's
the best.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yes, ellen EM's got everything.

Superior filtration, superior taste, superior filtration because of elinem Superior

tip cigarette.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
This is it LNM filters. Lenm's got everything, It's the best.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh who is afternoon, Corporal? Ooh, Hodie Marshall? The colonel here? Yes, sir, right,
their own free ground? Huh? Which ones in the Who's
guy this time? Nobody at the moment, corporl Well indeed
of Wonder Bay, Thank you well, Marshall, Afternoon, Colonel. Huh?
(09:36):
Who's in trouble? Now? That's about Amos card right, Colonel?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
That yeah, you know what they're saying about Amos. I know, well,
the feelings are running pretty high in town and there
could be some trouble.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
Not your worry, not mine.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, I just want a statement from him, well, gin
statement now that Amos Cartwright didn't lead that patrol into
ambush at Cold Creek.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
I can't give you that statement, Marshall, because I don't
know if it's true.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I see you have evidence against Himus.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
No, this story sounds plausible when I've cut him off
the payroll, won't Scott for us?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Again.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
But if it weren't true, what do you come back?
Told the story taking out the burial party all that.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
I don't trust a man who's lived as an Indian.
I don't like having to use them, I see. Frankly,
I don't care if they do screing him up. I
got other things to worry about. We're getting the stores
ready for a major expedition. We're gonna put down those commanches.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Were good.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh thanks anyway, man.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Sorry you had to come all the way out here
on such a hot day for nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Marshall, it can't be helped. I'll see you little.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Got your doing?
Speaker 10 (11:03):
What you're doing?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah? What is a truster?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Oh my gracious, I'm glad you're back.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh what's happening? Just what you was afraid of?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Bailey?
Speaker 7 (11:12):
And amos?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
What Bailey's dad?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Bailey? This?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
We got him right up there, Dos, That's why I
called you.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Alright, let's go over.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
He didn't give him a chance, no chance to talk.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Put him by surprise, come up behind with a knife
and swear his throat.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh right, gracious, where was this?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
See over there for the wavery stable must have been
waiting for him.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Compress horse got teen a way too before anybody knew
what happened.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh hello, mad doctor in here.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Luck a bit, Yeah, it's your Indian trick coming up
behind him, man, and that.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Right shit, Amus has gone all Indian that The fact was,
he feared it was him or Baylear.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
It was a matter of honor or something.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
He didn't have to do that Chester.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
He probably headed south for commands your character maybe two hours.
I guess there's not much to do about it now
except tell the cavalry.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
They'll pick him up eventually. This isn't a military matter
of Doc, it's my job. Match.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You can't go down there now with all this Indian trouble.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I don't tell you how to set bones. Dog were
going after mister Dillon, I am, you don't have to.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I'll go get our saddle pack match use your hit.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Maybe if i'd used that before, Bailey wouldn't be dead.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You think we're gaining on him and tall mister Dylon.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Al he should be Chester and you can't find him.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
None too soon for me.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Oh, we sure picked the day to come on here?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yes hot, alright, yes, sir, there's somebody following. Amos says,
what Yah, Well up, let's take a look. Yeah, you
(13:24):
see that's in front of an unshot Indian pony.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Oh now why would it Indian betraying Namos?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I don't know. And why is Amos wandering like he
can't make up his mind where to go?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Mm?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
For a while I thought he was hitting for the Waterta.
Now he's veered west. Maybe throw ourself.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, he's leaving two plain a trail for that. He
doesn't expect anybody to come after him down here?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Oh man, you beat me?
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Why This is quite a.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
View from up heremids you're done?
Speaker 7 (13:58):
See for a long way.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You see Amos?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Nope, I don't see no engine either. Or hey, here's
something that's done. Had Indian pony stopped.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Here and stood u probably looking out there watch your names.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
And then turned off and went that way?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah? But running see how the prints dig in and
stretch out?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
What do you think that means, mister dyn.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Probably means trouble Chester. We better find aim us quick.
Come on, I'll be glad when the sun goes down. Careful, Chester,
(14:51):
come up easily on top of this hill.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yes, I reckon, we might be getting close.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Maybe, uh huh, I don't see a thing that you don't.
He's down there Chester making camp. You see that movement
in the water, is there? That'll be his horse. He'll
be over by the water.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Are you sure could have fooled me?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Come on, we'll stay behind the hill. We'll circle and
quarter and cross with yes, sure, alright, Amos, No drop it.
(15:47):
You're a stand there. Can give me no pair draw
my mother you gave Bailey. I want to take you
back to Dodge a live alright, chess that come on
the horses and no willas with Amoses. You just kicked
(16:10):
that gun over here. Huh row the knife in two cattle? Alright,
check and relax.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Now figuring to ride today.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Later after the horse is arrested a couple of hours.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Think you can get me back to Dodge, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
It's commands your country, you remember.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Maybe you're banking too much on that, Amos.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Maybe, Ah, this is quite a fix.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You got you yourself into MNAs He's it. Yeah, I'd
say so. On one side you got all the white
men hating you. On the other side, I shouldn't think
the Comanches would be too fond of you either. Why not?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Like Bailey said, I'm most won myself.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
But there were Comanches killed at Coal Creek two. So
I must know that you've been scouting for the Blue Coats.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Uh wait, don't marry. You don't hold no grudge against scouts.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
As long as you're scout against their enemies, the Cheyenne
or the Apaches and one of the others. But you
led the cavalry against your own tribe. I wasn't smart.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
I ain't worried. Marshall, you're the one other be Maybe
you hate me too, don't you, Marshall, Not exactly, Just
trying to understand you.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
It's a hard choice to turn against your own kind.
I'd like to know what makes some men do.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Then a few knew the way it was. I can
remember the day it was like this was towards dusk.
I left the horses, three of my best, but out
front of her father's lodge and never waited so anxious
in all my life. And then he'd come up and
(18:21):
took my horses into his herd adventure.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Were accepted, married.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
And we lived fine. I had a lodge of fourteen
skins that brought me to her family. I took coop.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
I was respected, loved, and it was good, all good
why'd you leave.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
The she died Baronachi.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Oh Mus a cold creek dead, Julia, the cavalry in
the ambush. I didn't leave, but I knew, you know
the ambush was there, and you didn't warn I couldn't.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
It had just been the other way around. They were
my friends, relatives, people that lived with. Whatever I did, it.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Had been wrong. So you ran away and did nothing.
But a man's gotta make his choice in his and
I failing to whack you made yours. Maybe coming back
to Dodge was a mistake. If you'd have stayed out,
you might have been taken for dad and forgotten. And
now you've gone too far Kelln Bailey the way you
(19:38):
did it, now there's no choice. Now there's only a
dodge and a noose.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
You ain't got me back to Dodge yet, Marshall, Maybe
you ain't going.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
To huh huh, Yeah, I see what you mean.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
M What does he mean that you do.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Take a luk Chester coming over the brow that far
hill there or he be come on get on us.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
It's a war party had a big I say it
must be fifty or more.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Amos, Yeah, comments, he's all right. You lose martiall, maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:19):

Speaker 3 (20:40):
To you, to the thousands of smokers who are changing
to Ellen M every day, to the millions who now
smoke Ellen M.
Speaker 1 (20:49):

L and M tobaccos are tasty, full of flavor and
lightened mild and L and M superior filter is the
purest tip that ever touched your lips. It's white, all white,

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Mister Dillon got chest them commands. You don't looks a
terrible war like to me, just riding easy like there
is out for a.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Breath of air. Circling ain't nowhere here.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
If they used to decide to rush as we wouldn't
have a chance.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Now that's the one thing we could do something about Chester.
What kill the horses? What put 'em up in the
circle and shoot 'em and slipped their bellies?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Oh my goodness, gracious.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
What for does? And the ponies will bark when they
smell the blood that had stop a charge we could use.
Their bodies were covered.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
But mister Dillon out here without no horse.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Now, maybe it won't be necessary, Amos, You recognize any
of 'em?
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Yeah? I had one out front and the pie bowl
that's buffalo tongue. It's my brother in law.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
They've stopped. Yeah, yeah, way back, go get the horse.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Oh wait, aness, you might need your horse.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, sure, but I Doug will ever got a chance
to use.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Maybe they don't know you're here. You keep out of
sight and wait for dark, maybe just hours.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (23:10):
I'm thinking about that noose back and dodge, and I'm
thinking you're wrong about them. Command She's that's my wife's
brother out there, Marshall. I've read beside him on many
a party, and I see he's coming down alone. Well
that's true, mister dealing the years, Amos.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I mourn it.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Even if you're right, it'd be me they're looking for.
If they don't even know you're here, Marshall Freeman can't
stand against fifty commands.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Right, It's like you said, a man makes a choice.
Quill famous mister. Maybe he's right, that's all we can
hope for now.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But he's our prisoner.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He was our prisoner, and I we'll see he's brother
in law. Stop he's mister Dillon, amos Dylan, No, Chester,
don't stay down. Yeah we can't so late. Our guns
won't do ay miss any good. Now we gotta think

But wait a minute.
Speaker 6 (24:12):

Like he said to min As, to make a choice.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Yes see, mister Dillon, what do you mean they didn't
even bother to take cool a scalp.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
It's the worst possible insult when an Indian won't even
claim is coop or touch their body.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Oh you reckon, He knew what might happen.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I think so Chester.

Chesterfield smokes smoother, Chesterfield smokes cooler.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Chesterfield is best for you.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Next time you buy cigarettes, stop remember Chesterfield is made
the modern way with Accurrae.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Put the spie and you smoke and just give them
a try light up a Chesterfield they signed.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
The Spy.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Listen to gun Smoke again next week. Transcribe for L
and M.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Wilkers
Gun Smoke brought to you by L and M Filters.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is it.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
L and M is best stands out from all the
rest 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 a US Marshall and the smell of
gun Smoke. Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad, transcrug story of
(00:59):
the violence that moved west with young America and the
story of a man will move with it.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first
man they look for and the last they want to meet.
It's a chancy job and it makes a man watchful
and a little lonely.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Oh my man, I mean that? How do mister Dyning Chester?
Oh it's a sad thing.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Maybe the cavalry does come busting into town, getting drunk,
spoiling for trouble sometimes, but I don't like to see
him coming this way, sewed up in sacks, laid out
over their horses.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yeah, I know, Chester, if they won't meet some men,
feels the sad and mad too, And I'll be plenty
like that.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Oh that's shirt, look at him lining up all down
the street watching like that.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Will Bailey over there, h he's got more reason than some.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
I know.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
His brother's in one of them sacks. Imagine him standing
there watching, wondering which one or what's a awful sad thing.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Ah. Let's just hope there'll be no more brought in
like this. M m.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Oh my, huh, I was wondering where you were.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Uh. I guess I wasn't very hungry kidding.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Ah, and I crooked made up some of that beast,
do you like? Uh?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Huh, I guess I could manage a little then.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh, I'll get it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You sit down there, I'll be back to my dad.
Don't need to do nothing. Hello Bailey, Oh hello Marshall.
I uh, I'm sorry about your brother.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
Yeah, we all are a lot of good.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
It does.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, I know how you feel about the cavalry. Get
the ones that did it. The cavalry, it'll.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Take 'em weeks to get ready.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
By the time they go out, those commanchers will be
nowhere near cold craik. Oh, Marshall, we're going out on
our own.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, better think that over the Bailey. We thought it.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Over, and we won't bother about which engines did it either.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I had to do a lot of good, wasn't it
starting an Indian war all over that.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
I'm gonna argue with you, Marshall, But I'll tell you
one thing. There's one man right here in town who's
gonna die first.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You mean Amos Cartwright.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
That's right, the one who led those boys into ambush
at Cold Craig May.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That's only a wild idea. Amos cott Wright's always been
a good, reliable scout.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
He came back, didn't he. He was the only one
who got out alive, wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He was scouting way out ahead.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
And it was his job to spot the comanches.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But he didn't. All there might have.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Been reasons, Yeah, there were reasons, all right. He's a
commanche itself, lived with him, married one rode on war
parties with him, and he led that patrol into ambush
for Kellen.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Cart Wright's not gonna help your brother, and I could
get you into trouble with a war. I'll take my
chances on that, all right, Bailly, Maybe in a couple
of days you'll cool down and see some reasons.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Here. It is getting cold.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh thanks kidding.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
That, Bailey's pretty hot atn't he can't say I blame
him too much.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
No, I can't either too much.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You think what he says about Amos is true?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Man, I think you ought to have proof before you
condemn a mind kidding.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
But Damos is a queer sort, so a.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Lot of others out here. Yeah, that's no reason to
kill it. No, of course, Well how is it?
Speaker 7 (05:31):
How is it?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh? I guess I was hungry and my thoughts before
the cooks get a little better.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
I guess there's still room for improvement, Amos Carton, All right,
don't touch your gun, Bailey.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You don't stay like that ambush. You better find someplace
else to eat today.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
I come to see baby, all right, you have seen him,
now go on, mister. I don't allow nobody to say
things about me.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I said him, and i'll say him again. You're no
better than the Comanche yourself. You're lyons, sneaking, murdering savage
with your buckskin shirt, and you come at you like
it's bright and hand and you're.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
The same as trolose men at cool crazy.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
All right, come on a miss, mister, I'll see you later.
Where are you taking me, Marshall?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Just outside here, Amos, this will all blow over in
a couple of days. But until it does, I think
maybe you better stay out of sight, maybe out of
the fort.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
I can take care of him.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's not just him. He's got half the town believe
in it.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
You believe it, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I don't believe anything. I don't see the proof for it.
And speaking of proof, if you've got any on your
side that have to bring it out.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
How do you prove something that nobody saw, nobody alive?
Eddies ill?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Maybe if you ask the colonel for a stake.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
I don't ask no man's.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Help, all right, then be pigheaded. I might ask him myself.
But you take my advice, Amos, you walk easy for
a while.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
No need for you to bother about me, Marshall. I
can handle this myself.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I hope, so, Amos, I hope.
Speaker 10 (07:21):
So this is it.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Eleen M Filters. It stands out from all the rest,
Miracle tears, much more flavor. Eleen M's got everything. It's
the best.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yes, ellen EM's got everything.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Superior filtration, superior taste, superior filtration because of elinem Superior
filter white all white, pure white, the purest tip that
ever touched your lips. Superior taste because of L and M.
Superior tobaccos, tasty, full of flavor and light and mild,
(08:22):
no doubt about it. Ellen M is America's best filter
tip cigarette.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
This is it LNM filters. Lenm's got everything, It's the best.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh who is afternoon, Corporal? Ooh, Hodie Marshall? The colonel here? Yes, sir, right,
their own free ground? Huh? Which ones in the Who's
guy this time? Nobody at the moment, corporl Well indeed
of Wonder Bay, Thank you well, Marshall, Afternoon, Colonel. Huh?
(09:36):
Who's in trouble? Now? That's about Amos card right, Colonel?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
That yeah, you know what they're saying about Amos. I know, well,
the feelings are running pretty high in town and there
could be some trouble.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
Not your worry, not mine.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, I just want a statement from him, well, gin
statement now that Amos Cartwright didn't lead that patrol into
ambush at Cold Creek.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
I can't give you that statement, Marshall, because I don't
know if it's true.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I see you have evidence against Himus.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
No, this story sounds plausible when I've cut him off
the payroll, won't Scott for us?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Again.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
But if it weren't true, what do you come back?
Told the story taking out the burial party all that.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
I don't trust a man who's lived as an Indian.
I don't like having to use them, I see. Frankly,
I don't care if they do screing him up. I
got other things to worry about. We're getting the stores
ready for a major expedition. We're gonna put down those commanches.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Were good.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh thanks anyway, man.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Sorry you had to come all the way out here
on such a hot day for nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Marshall, it can't be helped. I'll see you little.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Got your doing?
Speaker 10 (11:03):
What you're doing?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah? What is a truster?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Oh my gracious, I'm glad you're back.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh what's happening? Just what you was afraid of?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Bailey?
Speaker 7 (11:12):
And amos?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
What Bailey's dad?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Bailey? This?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
We got him right up there, Dos, That's why I
called you.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Alright, let's go over.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
He didn't give him a chance, no chance to talk.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Put him by surprise, come up behind with a knife
and swear his throat.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh right, gracious, where was this?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
See over there for the wavery stable must have been
waiting for him.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Compress horse got teen a way too before anybody knew
what happened.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh hello, mad doctor in here.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Luck a bit, Yeah, it's your Indian trick coming up
behind him, man, and that.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Right shit, Amus has gone all Indian that The fact was,
he feared it was him or Baylear.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
It was a matter of honor or something.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
He didn't have to do that Chester.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
He probably headed south for commands your character maybe two hours.
I guess there's not much to do about it now
except tell the cavalry.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
They'll pick him up eventually. This isn't a military matter
of Doc, it's my job. Match.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You can't go down there now with all this Indian trouble.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I don't tell you how to set bones. Dog were
going after mister Dillon, I am, you don't have to.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I'll go get our saddle pack match use your hit.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Maybe if i'd used that before, Bailey wouldn't be dead.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You think we're gaining on him and tall mister Dylon.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Al he should be Chester and you can't find him.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
None too soon for me.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Oh, we sure picked the day to come on here?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yes hot, alright, yes, sir, there's somebody following. Amos says,
what Yah, Well up, let's take a look. Yeah, you
(13:24):
see that's in front of an unshot Indian pony.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Oh now why would it Indian betraying Namos?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I don't know. And why is Amos wandering like he
can't make up his mind where to go?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Mm?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
For a while I thought he was hitting for the Waterta.
Now he's veered west. Maybe throw ourself.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, he's leaving two plain a trail for that. He
doesn't expect anybody to come after him down here?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Oh man, you beat me?
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Why This is quite a.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
View from up heremids you're done?
Speaker 7 (13:58):
See for a long way.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You see Amos?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Nope, I don't see no engine either. Or hey, here's
something that's done. Had Indian pony stopped.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Here and stood u probably looking out there watch your names.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
And then turned off and went that way?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah? But running see how the prints dig in and
stretch out?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
What do you think that means, mister dyn.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Probably means trouble Chester. We better find aim us quick.
Come on, I'll be glad when the sun goes down. Careful, Chester,
(14:51):
come up easily on top of this hill.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yes, I reckon, we might be getting close.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Maybe, uh huh, I don't see a thing that you don't.
He's down there Chester making camp. You see that movement
in the water, is there? That'll be his horse. He'll
be over by the water.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Are you sure could have fooled me?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Come on, we'll stay behind the hill. We'll circle and
quarter and cross with yes, sure, alright, Amos, No drop it.
(15:47):
You're a stand there. Can give me no pair draw
my mother you gave Bailey. I want to take you
back to Dodge a live alright, chess that come on
the horses and no willas with Amoses. You just kicked
(16:10):
that gun over here. Huh row the knife in two cattle? Alright,
check and relax.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Now figuring to ride today.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Later after the horse is arrested a couple of hours.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Think you can get me back to Dodge, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
It's commands your country, you remember.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Maybe you're banking too much on that, Amos.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Maybe, Ah, this is quite a fix.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You got you yourself into MNAs He's it. Yeah, I'd
say so. On one side you got all the white
men hating you. On the other side, I shouldn't think
the Comanches would be too fond of you either. Why not?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Like Bailey said, I'm most won myself.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
But there were Comanches killed at Coal Creek two. So
I must know that you've been scouting for the Blue Coats.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Uh wait, don't marry. You don't hold no grudge against scouts.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
As long as you're scout against their enemies, the Cheyenne
or the Apaches and one of the others. But you
led the cavalry against your own tribe. I wasn't smart.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
I ain't worried. Marshall, you're the one other be Maybe
you hate me too, don't you, Marshall, Not exactly, Just
trying to understand you.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
It's a hard choice to turn against your own kind.
I'd like to know what makes some men do.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Then a few knew the way it was. I can
remember the day it was like this was towards dusk.
I left the horses, three of my best, but out
front of her father's lodge and never waited so anxious
in all my life. And then he'd come up and
(18:21):
took my horses into his herd adventure.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Were accepted, married.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
And we lived fine. I had a lodge of fourteen
skins that brought me to her family. I took coop.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
I was respected, loved, and it was good, all good
why'd you leave.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
The she died Baronachi.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Oh Mus a cold creek dead, Julia, the cavalry in
the ambush. I didn't leave, but I knew, you know
the ambush was there, and you didn't warn I couldn't.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
It had just been the other way around. They were
my friends, relatives, people that lived with. Whatever I did, it.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Had been wrong. So you ran away and did nothing.
But a man's gotta make his choice in his and
I failing to whack you made yours. Maybe coming back
to Dodge was a mistake. If you'd have stayed out,
you might have been taken for dad and forgotten. And
now you've gone too far Kelln Bailey the way you
(19:38):
did it, now there's no choice. Now there's only a
dodge and a noose.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
You ain't got me back to Dodge yet, Marshall, Maybe
you ain't going.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
To huh huh, Yeah, I see what you mean.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
M What does he mean that you do.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Take a luk Chester coming over the brow that far
hill there or he be come on get on us.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
It's a war party had a big I say it
must be fifty or more.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Amos, Yeah, comments, he's all right. You lose martiall, maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
We all do.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
To you, to the thousands of smokers who are changing
to Ellen M every day, to the millions who now
smoke Ellen M.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Here is your assurance.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Ellen M give superior filtration because of its superior filter,
superior taste, because of L and M superior tobaccos. Yes,
L and M tobaccos are tasty, full of flavor and
lightened mild and L and M superior filter is the
purest tip that ever touched your lips. It's white, all white,
(21:13):

actually improves your enjoyment of this great cigarette.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yes, Ellen M's got everything.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Superior taste, superior tobacco, superior filter. That's why it's America's
best filter tip cigarette. Try L and M today.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Mister Dillon got chest them commands. You don't looks a
terrible war like to me, just riding easy like there
is out for a.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Breath of air. Circling ain't nowhere here.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
If they used to decide to rush as we wouldn't
have a chance.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Now that's the one thing we could do something about Chester.
What kill the horses? What put 'em up in the
circle and shoot 'em and slipped their bellies?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Oh my goodness, gracious.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
What for does? And the ponies will bark when they
smell the blood that had stop a charge we could use.
Their bodies were covered.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
But mister Dillon out here without no horse.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Now, maybe it won't be necessary, Amos, You recognize any
of 'em?
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Yeah? I had one out front and the pie bowl
that's buffalo tongue. It's my brother in law.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
They've stopped. Yeah, yeah, way back, go get the horse.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Oh wait, aness, you might need your horse.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, sure, but I Doug will ever got a chance
to use.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Maybe they don't know you're here. You keep out of
sight and wait for dark, maybe just hours.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (23:10):
I'm thinking about that noose back and dodge, and I'm
thinking you're wrong about them. Command She's that's my wife's
brother out there, Marshall. I've read beside him on many
a party, and I see he's coming down alone. Well
that's true, mister dealing the years, Amos.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I mourn it.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Even if you're right, it'd be me they're looking for.
If they don't even know you're here, Marshall Freeman can't
stand against fifty commands.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Right, It's like you said, a man makes a choice.
Quill famous mister. Maybe he's right, that's all we can
hope for now.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But he's our prisoner.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He was our prisoner, and I we'll see he's brother
in law. Stop he's mister Dillon, amos Dylan, No, Chester,
don't stay down. Yeah we can't so late. Our guns
won't do ay miss any good. Now we gotta think
(24:08):
about ourselves.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
But wait a minute.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Yeah, why they turning away without and made it look.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Mister donning they don't know about it.

to take cool, didn't you.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Hm, mister Dillon? The ever went most clean through and
they're going away. Didn't didn't seem notices.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
There wasn't a battle, Chester, there was an execution and
it was awful.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Heaven they just stand by.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Like he said to min As, to make a choice.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Yes see, mister Dillon, what do you mean they didn't
even bother to take cool a scalp.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
It's the worst possible insult when an Indian won't even
claim is coop or touch their body.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Oh you reckon, He knew what might happen.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I think so Chester.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Well, maybe it was better than noose.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, maybe it was. Alright, come on, chesse, we got
things to do. This is William Conrad. As you may know,
