People everywhere are finding the Chesterfield packs more pleasure. Yes,
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
For the more perfectly packed.

Your cigarette, the more taste and mildness are released for you.
And Chesterfield, made with Accurae, is more perfectly packed than
any cigarette.

Firm and pleasing to the lips, mild yet deeply satisfying
to the taste, and accurrae. Chesterfield has an open, easy
draw that unlocks all the pleasure of fine tobaccos. So
remember Chesterfield packs more pleasure by Chesterfield miles, yet they

Speaker 7 (06:16):
Your call Joff being the Onymonga left and even being
the only Hakes left. Then you could say there's trouble.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Ah, you mean it's a feud.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Most families been whittled down to just them too.
Speaker 2 (06:28):

to get away from it?
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Not if he's always talking about going back long enough
to kill Eban haiks h.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What do you think, ma'am? Don't you think it's gone
far enough?

wants so.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Mulye uh, how did this feud start?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Man?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
If you had any upbringing, you wouldn't I as it's
a family matter. Where'd you see even Haggs anyway?

Speaker 7 (07:01):
Then he'll find him, and that's bad. Jock don't even

They learned something more than feuding.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
People everywhere are finding the Chesterfield packs more pleasure. Yes,
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
For the more.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Perfectly packed your cigarette, the more taste and mildness are
released for you. And Chesterfield, made with Accurae, is more
perfectly packed than any cigarette ever could be before. Firm
and pleasing to the lips, mild yet deeply satisfying to
the taste, and accurate. Chesterfield has an open easy draw
(14:42):
that unlocks all the pleasure of fine tobaccos. So remember,
Chesterfield packs more pleasure by Chesterfield mild, yet they satisfy
the most.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I wasn't sure that jail had teach Jot and even
a thing, but I still couldn't let him run loose
and chewed each other down. So the next morning Chester
and I went looking for him. We found where they'd
built a small fire out the back of the long Branch,
and we found a number of empty bottles, but that
was all. We searched the town till noon with no luck,
(15:34):
and I decided to ride out to the Longer place
and see if, by any chance Joth had returned. There
was nobody inside when we got there, so we dismounted
and walked up to the door.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
They smoked, don that you, mister young.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That doesn't mean Jot's here? Chester, afternoon? All away, Marshall, No,
wait a minute as much.

Speaker 2 (16:07):

Speaker 6 (16:10):
Yeah, but you didn't have no gun.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
It must be Jothing there.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Well, if it is, why would he want to shoot you?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I know there's one reason I can think of.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
You mean, he's gone and killed even hags.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I don't know, Chester, but I'm sure gonna find out.
They ain't gonna open me now there's a window around

Speaker 7 (17:42):

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Marshall, How did you know I was gonna put him
in jail?
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Even says you told him you was.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Oh that's right, I didn't if he killed anybody, I
ain't killed nobody.

We stopped him, You stopped it sure. Last night we
got to talking a little about old times and everything.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
You know what we find out?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
No what you tell him?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well, peace officer, this here feuds started a long time ago.
What happened was my grandfather stole Jos's grandfather's girl and
married up with her. So Josh's grandfather declared a feud
right then and there. But you ain't told him what
we found out yet. Eton Oh, well, we hadn't thought
of it before, peace officer. But last night we was
thinking that if my grandfather hadn't done that, then Joss
(18:32):
here would have been me. What don't you see Otherwise
my grandmother would have married up with Josh's grandfather and
I'd have been Joss.
Speaker 6 (18:42):

Like anyway you looked at it last night to mean

(20:26):
our star William Conrad friends, at this time I'd like
to join with Ligan and Myers, the makers of Chesterfield
and LMM filters. They're over six thousand wholesale distributors and
the one million, three hundred thousand retailed cigarette dealers, and
wish all of you very merry Christmas. On the frontier,
(20:53):
violent death might come to a man in a number
of ways, and life around him served as a daily
reminder gun fighting in the street, stampede and cattle marauding indians,
hunger thirst. There were a lot of ways to die,
and most of them hard, But the Westerner wasn't bothered
by that. The important thing was when his time came,
(21:17):
that well, that he'd dies standing up and in fine style.
And that was the West.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Good Night, gunn Smoke, Produced and directed by Norman McDonald's cars,
(21:52):
William Conrad as Matt Dylan Us Marshall. Our story was
specially written for gun Smoke by John Meston, with music
composed and inducted by Rex Cory, sound patterns by Tom
Hanley and Bill James. Featured in the cast were John Dayner,
Helen pleeb and Vic Perlin, Harley bear Is Chester, Howard
mcneher is Doc. And Georgia Ellis is kidding. Most accidents
(22:16):
aren't really accidental at all. Only you can cause an accident.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's up to you to read and heed the safety signs,
to keep your eyes on the road, to watch out
for those curves ahead and the car is driving along
near you. Most drivers know how to operate a car.
They know the traffic rooms, they know that speeding, taking chances,
failing to keep to the right of the line are
dangerous hazards. Accidents happened because drivers do these things despite
(22:44):
what they know. So while you are driving, remember that
you and only you are responsible for your life and
the lives of those driving with you. Drive carefully. Make

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Oh oh man, he's from the hills all right.

Where do they figure it?
Speaker 6 (03:10):

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Stranger? Ozark mountains better country than this. My name's Eban Haiks.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, my name is Dylan. There's a trust to proudfoot
and Doc Adam Peace officer. A man said, you'd help
me find where Josh Monger is living. Josh Monger, Yeah,
he come out.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Here about a year ago. He's got Old Mountain Gale
with him. They're married.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, they got a place up near Rock Springs, about
Old ten miles north of here.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I'll find it.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Uh, you've come a long way to see a friend, as.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Jos Monger ain't exactly a friend, Peace officer. But I
got to get going. It being Saturday and all, well,
what Saturday got to do with it? Nothing except I
won't kill no man of the Sunday. I never have,
I never will.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
People everywhere are finding the Chesterfield packs more pleasure. Yes,
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
For the more perfectly packed.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Your cigarette, the more taste and mildness are released for you.
And Chesterfield, made with Accurae, is more perfectly packed than
any cigarette.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Ever could be before.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Firm and pleasing to the lips, mild yet deeply satisfying
to the taste, and accurrae. Chesterfield has an open, easy
draw that unlocks all the pleasure of fine tobaccos. So
remember Chesterfield packs more pleasure by Chesterfield miles, yet they
(05:01):
satisfy the most.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Jeff Monger's faith don't look.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
No better than it ever did? Does it?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Not much?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I said, no, look at that for me?
Speaker 6 (05:35):
His longer out doing chores as usual.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't want to where.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Josh is asleep? Some words probably.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Mar alright, ma'am Harley, there's Joff here, ma'am.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
A today, one Saturday, he'd be here. Josh goes to Dodge.
Ever Saturday he does.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I never see him.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
If he socialize more, you'd see him. Joss got his ways.
Marshall a lonesome, but there hisn't.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I see uh lismungret. Do you know a man called
Eban haiks Has.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
If you speak that name around here, you won't be welcome.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Marshall, there's trouble between you make.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Your call Joff being the Onymonga left and even being
the only Hakes left. Then you could say there's trouble.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Ah, you mean it's a feud.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Most families been whittled down to just them too.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I see. Is that why Joff came out to Kansas
to get away from it?
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Not if he's always talking about going back long enough
to kill Eban haiks h.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What do you think, ma'am? Don't you think it's gone
far enough?
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Either one of them could call it off if he
wants so.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Mulye uh, how did this feud start?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Man?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
If you had any upbringing, you wouldn't I as it's
a family matter. Where'd you see even Haggs anyway?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Oh, he was in Dodge asking about Joff.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
He was asking.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Then he'll find him, and that's bad. Jock don't even
know he's around.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well, that's why I came out here.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Jock knew about him. I wouldn't worry. Josh's better shock
and even hats any day.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
But missus Monger, the law doesn't hold with Feuden. Whichever
one kills the other, he'll hang for it.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
You start meddling, they'll shoot you. But I'm worried about Jock.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
He'll be drunk, so it was this dark.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I'll find him, man, goodbye, goodbye is all he'll people
like that, mister other mighty independent justin Oh.
Speaker 6 (07:38):

Speaker 2 (07:40):
And not when it comes to Feuden. And I look
over there, hm, but that little bluff there, well, now.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
How did he get here?

Hello, heikes that Josh Mongers plays yonder? Peace officer. Yeah good,

Speaker 3 (08:24):

Speaker 3 (08:27):

They learned something more than feuding.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
People everywhere are finding the Chesterfield packs more pleasure. Yes,
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
For the more.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Perfectly packed your cigarette, the more taste and mildness are
released for you. And Chesterfield, made with Accurae, is more
perfectly packed than any cigarette ever could be before. Firm
and pleasing to the lips, mild yet deeply satisfying to
the taste, and accurate. Chesterfield has an open easy draw
(14:42):
that unlocks all the pleasure of fine tobaccos. So remember,
Chesterfield packs more pleasure by Chesterfield mild, yet they satisfy
the most.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I wasn't sure that jail had teach Jot and even
a thing, but I still couldn't let him run loose
and chewed each other down. So the next morning Chester
and I went looking for him. We found where they'd
built a small fire out the back of the long Branch,
and we found a number of empty bottles, but that
was all. We searched the town till noon with no luck,
(15:34):
and I decided to ride out to the Longer place
and see if, by any chance Joth had returned. There
was nobody inside when we got there, so we dismounted
and walked up to the door.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
They smoked, don that you, mister young.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That doesn't mean Jot's here? Chester, afternoon? All away, Marshall, No,
wait a minute as much.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
If you don't wanna get shot, you'll do what I say.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Friendly, ain't you?
Speaker 6 (16:10):
Yeah, but you didn't have no gun.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
It must be Jothing there.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Well, if it is, why would he want to shoot you?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I know there's one reason I can think of.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
You mean, he's gone and killed even hags.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I don't know, Chester, but I'm sure gonna find out.
They ain't gonna open me now there's a window around
the side. You're being very clean when he'll do he

I ain't never heard of a man coming into another
man's house that way.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
If he had any upbringing, he wouldn't have.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's the kind of people they got in Kansas jaw.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Never mind about that job. Now, why did your wife Fredna?
Shut me? What's going on here?
Speaker 7 (17:42):
If you hadn't come to put them in jail, you

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Marshall, How did you know I was gonna put him
in jail?
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Even says you told him you was.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Oh that's right, I didn't if he killed anybody, I
ain't killed nobody.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Feuds off.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
We stopped him, You stopped it sure. Last night we
got to talking a little about old times and everything.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
You know what we find out?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
No what you tell him?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well, peace officer, this here feuds started a long time ago.
What happened was my grandfather stole Jos's grandfather's girl and
married up with her. So Josh's grandfather declared a feud
right then and there. But you ain't told him what
we found out yet. Eton Oh, well, we hadn't thought
of it before, peace officer. But last night we was
thinking that if my grandfather hadn't done that, then Joss
(18:32):
here would have been me. What don't you see Otherwise
my grandmother would have married up with Josh's grandfather and
I'd have been Joss.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
So anyway you look at it, we're kind of related,
Like anyway you looked at it last night to mean
I saw them mother.

(20:26):
our star William Conrad friends, at this time I'd like
to join with Ligan and Myers, the makers of Chesterfield
and LMM filters. They're over six thousand wholesale distributors and
the one million, three hundred thousand retailed cigarette dealers, and
wish all of you very merry Christmas. On the frontier,
(20:53):
violent death might come to a man in a number
of ways, and life around him served as a daily
reminder gun fighting in the street, stampede and cattle marauding indians,
hunger thirst. There were a lot of ways to die,
and most of them hard, But the Westerner wasn't bothered
by that. The important thing was when his time came,
(21:17):
that well, that he'd dies standing up and in fine style.
And that was the West.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Good Night, gunn Smoke, Produced and directed by Norman McDonald's cars,
(21:52):
William Conrad as Matt Dylan Us Marshall. Our story was
specially written for gun Smoke by John Meston, with music
composed and inducted by Rex Cory, sound patterns by Tom
Hanley and Bill James. Featured in the cast were John Dayner,
Helen pleeb and Vic Perlin, Harley bear Is Chester, Howard
mcneher is Doc. And Georgia Ellis is kidding. Most accidents
(22:16):
aren't really accidental at all. Only you can cause an accident.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's up to you to read and heed the safety signs,
to keep your eyes on the road, to watch out
for those curves ahead and the car is driving along
near you. Most drivers know how to operate a car.
They know the traffic rooms, they know that speeding, taking chances,
failing to keep to the right of the line are
dangerous hazards. Accidents happened because drivers do these things despite
(22:44):
what they know. So while you are driving, remember that
you and only you are responsible for your life and
the lives of those driving with you. Drive carefully. Make
(23:05):
