Dodd City and in the territory on West, there's just
one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and
(00:31):
that's with a US Marshall and the smell of gun Smoke.
(00:53):
Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad, the transcribed story of the
violence that moved west with Young America and the story
of a man will.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Move with it. 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 3 (01:44):
Matt, got time for a drink?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
How I go with you?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Good? And the long branch is closest that's going there.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Some people say it doesn't look good for a doctor
to be seen in.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
A saloonctually in the daytime.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Then you believe it too, Oh no, no, not me.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I look on doctors as almost human, almost oh almost human.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well, well that's mighty charitable.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Love you. I'll think of that the next time you
come crawling around with your throat cutter with a bulleting.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You'll feel better when you get your drink, Doc.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, I'll feel better when I talk to Kitty.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Hello, Doc Matt, Hello Kitty.
Speaker 3 (02:28):

Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm buying the lady you drink. You sure you haven't
had enough already?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
That?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Oh now, just because you're not used to men who
act like gently.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I think he's talking about me, Kitty.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I figured that.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
What are you two been arguing about this time?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
We don't have been working up to an argument.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Kiddy's somebody else there seem has been doing that. Oh
a cowboy at the end of the five Oh, what
about it? I heard him telling Sam he's got a
pack horse outside loaded with ammunition.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, there's no harm in that anything.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
He said it to kill Kansans with.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Duc Oh what did he mean, Kiddy?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't know, man, but he's awful mad about something.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'll be back in a minute.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
No, no, be careful.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Hello, my name is Dylan, I'm the Marshall here.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
My name is Jim Hort, and I wish you'd never
heard of Kansas.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh where you're from Diana River, Texas.
Speaker 2 (03:41):

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Long enough to finish his drink. And since your so nosy,
I'll tell you I'm with nine other Texans.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
We got two thousand.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I had a cattle six days drive from here there
branded Cross r and Jack Raven's Trail Boss.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Anything else you wanna know?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, there's something else. Have all of the men in
that outfit got that backs up? Like you?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Haven't you worried one about us?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Marshall. We'll handle things. That immunition they sent you for
what's going on down there? Anyway?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Nothing A few Texans can't take your Why.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Don't you want to tell me about it? Hut?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Because I don't trust you no more, not trust any cancer.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Why don't you finish your drink because I'm gonna ride
back with you. Stop start smoking with a smile. The
(04:55):
chest be smooth, the cooler, milder. Stirfield for the smile,
and you smoke and just give him a dry Chesterfields
best for you.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
They satisfie if you want tomorrow's better cigarette today. Next
time you buy cigarettes, stop remember only Chesterfield is made
the modern way with accurae. You'll notice how fresh and good.
Chesterfield's made with accurrae taste, how smooth they are, and
(05:28):
how they satisfy. So buy Chesterfield today, smoother, cooler, best
for you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Jim Hood didn't like it much, but I got Chester
and we saddled up and road south with him. Nobody
said a word the whole day, and that night Chester
and I spelled each other, keeping awake, so's Hoyt wouldn't
slip out on us. He knew what we were doing,
and of course he does. Stretched out on the ground
and enjoyed a good night's rest. It was late the
(06:17):
next afternoon, soon after we crossed the Cimarron, that we
ran into the cross our herd bedding down for the night.
We rode around it after the Chuck wagon fire and dismounted.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Jack Raven's a trail boss, Marshall, and that's him leading
against that wagon.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Study.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Let's go talk to him, Chull.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
You tell him how you got here, so he'll know
to get mad at.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'll do that, Hoyt.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Then the first wood Hot said, in the last ten miles, I.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Guess he've been saving his strength for I don't know.
Maybe the boss here will tell us, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He don't shoot us for he looks down unfriendly.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
To me, Jack Raven, that's my name is Matt Dillon,
This chuster propfoot. How do how I'm a us Marshall
Raven Dodge. Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's your first time up the trail, first time for
any of it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Jim Hoyd didn't tell me much. He didn't want me
down here at all. And why'd you come? I got
curious about that ammunition. You're send him the dodge for
some law against it, and that depends on what you
aim to use it for.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
We aim to kill Kansas with it, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Uh huh. You've got any particular Kansas in mind?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I ain't particularly.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
He told me that's your first trip up here, the first.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Trip for any of you. What's that got to do
with it? You've lost many cattle? I've lost all I'm
going to?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
How many?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So I'm twenty thirty head sampete two of 'em after
get started. Men men out there waving blankets, they set
fire to in the night, and it wasn't it neither
we've seen them. But we couldn't chase them or go
shooting at him, and we lost the whole herd.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Now why didn't you send Hoyd for ammunition. You're gonna start.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Shooting next time there's short ammunition, Marshall, next time it happens.
We thought maybe we'd some of us take off a
few days, do a little hunting. I see, I want
to get this herd to dodge. Wanna get it sold.
Then we're riding back this way.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
And shoot anybody you come across. Is that it?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Like I said, I ain't particular, Marshall, not about Kansas.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I ain't telling me something Raven. Do you ever hear
of Jay Hawkers? No, they're outlaws, Raven. They're murderers, criminals.
They're men who started riding on the Missouri border during
the war and they got the taste of bloot in
their mouths Now it's like they got no place to go,
so they're out after anything in sight. They cause a
(08:53):
lot of trouble.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
And why don't you stop him?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
We try. Don't forget the ordinary Kansas hates Jay Hawker's
as much as you do.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
But what do they want? What good you do them
to stampede my herd.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You'll find out what they want. They'll let you know.
And I want to stay here to help you when
they do.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I don't know whether I trust you or not.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I guess you'll have to find that one not too Raven.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, I'll find it out. I got work to do now.
I don't know if the cook or feeding the Kansas man.
But you can go ask you what's doing?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
What you doing? Huh? Huh? What is it, Truster?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's almost daylight?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Oh yeah, I guess we better get up.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I declare I didn't hear a thing all night. I
slipped right through.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well if it had been a stamp pecher to herd Chester.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
And then Jay Hawkers with Dylan.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Yeah what Look here, you're riding that horse. That's Jim Hoyt,
who wears his clothes. Look, it's all bloodied up. They're
having to help him get.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Down off his horse.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
There's Jack Raven. Yeah, what in the world do you
suppost happen?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
He didn't get those marks on his back from a fall.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Came.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Take a look at Jim Hoyt. Marshall, take a good
luck where they catch your hut?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
How come you know anybody caught me?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Marshall, that's a good question. I do you know?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I says happened before Lord. It's one of their methods.
If the Jayhawkers.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Might a fancy name for a bunch of murdering devils.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You are on garden. They sneak up on you so
that the way to trip me in flog me.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Then they give them a message for me.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
They want money. Huh.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I got two thousand head of cattle, Marshall. If I
pay them Jayhawkers two dollars ahead, they say there won't
be no more trouble by sundown.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I want that money.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
By sundown, you're gonna pay it a raven.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I'd rather lose a whole herd. We'll ride garden pairs tonight.
There won't be any more beatings, and I hope there's.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
No shooting them. Cattle are ready to run most anything
by now.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
We'd like to ride with you a raven.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I might trust you, Marshall. I don't know, but the
men wouldn't. They never stand for it. All right, we're
gonna be around. We're not leaving here, and you better
keep pretty close to camp. You might get yourself killed
if you stray very far.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Listen, Listen to an electronic miracle. This electronic miracle accurae,
means that everything from auto tires to apple pie battleship
steel to baby food, butter to cigarettes can be made
better and safer for you. Now, I meet mister Burt Choke,
brilliant young president of Industrial Nucleonics. Well, word exactly what
(12:43):
is accuray, well jarge?
Speaker 9 (12:45):
It a device by which a stream of electrons passes
through and analyzes the product while it.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Is actually been made.
Speaker 9 (12:52):
They transfit what they see to this electronic brain, which
adjusts the production machinery for errors down to millions of
an end.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
One more question, one that so many people ask me.
How does Accua make Chesterfield a better cigarette than was
ever possible before?
Speaker 9 (13:08):
Every cigarette made with Vaccurate control contains a more precise measure.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Of perfectly packed tobaccos.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
So Chesterfield smokes smoother without hotspots or a hard drum.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And that's why Chesterfield tastes so much better. I guess
that's why you smoke them yourself.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
For you see, I know what Accurate can do.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Where's your answer?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
If you want tomorrow's better cigarette today next time?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Stop?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Remember only Chesterfield is made the modern way with accurat
best for you.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I took Raven's advice, and Chester and I stayed with
a chug Wagon. All that day, But when the herd
was bedded down about dusk, we settled up and rode
out of camp. Raven had his men standing guard by
TuS all right, and he had the herd line and
a plane that apparently nobody could approach without being seen.
A mile or so off we scotted the land all dark,
(14:27):
and just as the moon was coming up, we found
what I've been hoping for, a deep gully about a
half a mile from the herd. The contour of the
land made it difficult to see unless you were almost
on top of it, and I picked it as the
most likely approach the jayhawkers and ewes. We hid our
horses at the bottom and climbed back out.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That's awful long.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Gullys and jayhawkers could ride out of it most anywhere
for a mile.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
How they cut chester, But right in here is where
it's closest to the herd. Oh, we gotta lie down.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
You know, I've been thinking, mister Neilon, there's only two
us might go hard if we have to shoot it out.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
If maybe it does men.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I'm hoping i won't be any shooting at all.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You know, most half my mouth Matt Herd had or
to bother 'em very much.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
They didn't bother 'em. Like Ravens said, those cattle are
ready to run at anything.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, if we can't shoot, how are we gonna stop
them jayhawkers?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Now most of that kind of cowards Chester. We surprise 'em.
Maybe we can scare 'em into dropping their guns. You'll
believe that. And I'm gambling on it anyway. And if
we start a stampede by getting into a gun battle
over here, those Texans aren't gonna treat us anybody than
they were the jay hawkers.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Make sure a hard d lord ain't that.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, they got some cause to be Jesse.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, they got no cause. Listen, somebody in the gulch. Oh,
they're right down there, mister Gilli. Now come claim it
out in.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
A minute now, if we're on top of 'em.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, come on, now, do you hear what?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
They don't do? An they shooting unless I do?
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No, I don't quiet now that's right? Oh no, no,
too much move to ride over there, So stampede from here.
Speaker 10 (16:35):
All we gotta do is spread out as long as
the goats and start shooting.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Uh huh. And don't matter whether you hit cows. Or text.
Oh that's spread out a little chessep. We'll crawl right
up on top of 'em. Yeah, alright, you come on. No, No,
we're long way is all we set up? Enough right
a fire them cattle stampiece. Sure, I'll have the hands
so full chasing 'em. They won't have time to work.
(17:00):
You better cover, get your hands up.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
You better do what he says.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
We're all around you right anywhere, all right, chessa tom what.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I was getting away was doing?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Will we chase him?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Now?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Let him go Chester, We got the other three.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
He sure did put up a fight in me.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah, I kind of misjudge her being cowards and couldn't listen. Listen, listen, Yeah,
it's the cattle. We started another stampede after all.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Better go help me now.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
The running the other way. We never got anywhere near him.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Tectives is gonna be mighty man.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, and mostly at us. We left the jay hawkers
right where they died, rode slowly back to the camp.
Nobody was there but the cook, so we sat down
and waited. We waited three or four hours before Anny
(18:08):
riders showed up, and when they did, they weren't exactly friendly.
They stood around at the distance and watched us as
though they were guarding a couple of prisoners. Finally, Jim
Hood walked over to us.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It was you done all that shooting, Marshall?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Some of it? Yeah, I was shooting too.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
The man wants to hang you.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Ah, that's up.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
We've seen you riding around.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Didn't know what you was up.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
To, but we sure found out. Didn't win.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Now you just look here, four of us here. Now
you're gonna put up a fight.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I don't blame you if it being mad now the
rest of you, but that's no excuse to be talking
about Lyncheon and I mean talking Marshall.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
We're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Wouldn't you like to know why we were doing the shooting?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
We know all we need to know.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Unbuckle them guns boat usual, I had heart. He's Jack Reid.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Raven ain't gonna stop us.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
What's going on here?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
We're about to hang us a couple of Kansans raving.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's what I figured.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Don't aim to have no interference, all right, I don't
give you any good.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I want to tell you something first, so say it out.
I was kind of curious about it, so I rode
over to where those two did all that shooting.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
You know what, I found a bunch of empty cartridges.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I found three dead men hot laying in a gully.
What now, I don't know what these here Jayhawkers is
supposed to look like. But them three men I found,
that's how they ought to look. It's for true re
It's true.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I guess I've been a little hot headed.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I didn't trust some Marshal either, not at first.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, ain't.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Hey, you've done our work for us, Marshall. It was
you too, found them devils and faced.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I forget it. Oh that's ober. I don't think it'll
be bothered anymore.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Say Marshall. Me and Howitt and the men. Uh, well,
we've had a bad trip. When we get to Dodge,
we'll maybe wanna kick up our heels a little.

pack horse outside loaded with ammunition.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, there's no harm in that anything.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
He said it to kill Kansans with.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Duc Oh what did he mean, Kiddy?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't know, man, but he's awful mad about something.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'll be back in a minute.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
No, no, be careful.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Hello, my name is Dylan, I'm the Marshall here.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
My name is Jim Hort, and I wish you'd never
heard of Kansas.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh where you're from Diana River, Texas.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'm Texas. They staying here long.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Long enough to finish his drink. And since your so nosy,
I'll tell you I'm with nine other Texans.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
We got two thousand.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I had a cattle six days drive from here there
branded Cross r and Jack Raven's Trail Boss.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Anything else you wanna know?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, there's something else. Have all of the men in
that outfit got that backs up? Like you?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Haven't you worried one about us?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Marshall. We'll handle things. That immunition they sent you for
what's going on down there? Anyway?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Nothing A few Texans can't take your Why.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Don't you want to tell me about it? Hut?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Because I don't trust you no more, not trust any cancer.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Why don't you finish your drink because I'm gonna ride
back with you. Stop start smoking with a smile. The
(04:55):
chest be smooth, the cooler, milder. Stirfield for the smile,
and you smoke and just give him a dry Chesterfields
best for you.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
They satisfie if you want tomorrow's better cigarette today. Next
time you buy cigarettes, stop remember only Chesterfield is made
the modern way with accurae. You'll notice how fresh and good.
Chesterfield's made with accurrae taste, how smooth they are, and
(05:28):
how they satisfy. So buy Chesterfield today, smoother, cooler, best
for you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Jim Hood didn't like it much, but I got Chester
and we saddled up and road south with him. Nobody
said a word the whole day, and that night Chester
and I spelled each other, keeping awake, so's Hoyt wouldn't
slip out on us. He knew what we were doing,
and of course he does. Stretched out on the ground
and enjoyed a good night's rest. It was late the
(06:17):
next afternoon, soon after we crossed the Cimarron, that we
ran into the cross our herd bedding down for the night.
We rode around it after the Chuck wagon fire and dismounted.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Jack Raven's a trail boss, Marshall, and that's him leading
against that wagon.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Study.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Let's go talk to him, Chull.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
You tell him how you got here, so he'll know
to get mad at.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'll do that, Hoyt.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Then the first wood Hot said, in the last ten miles, I.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Guess he've been saving his strength for I don't know.
Maybe the boss here will tell us, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He don't shoot us for he looks down unfriendly.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
To me, Jack Raven, that's my name is Matt Dillon,
This chuster propfoot. How do how I'm a us Marshall
Raven Dodge. Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's your first time up the trail, first time for
any of it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Jim Hoyd didn't tell me much. He didn't want me
down here at all. And why'd you come? I got
curious about that ammunition. You're send him the dodge for
some law against it, and that depends on what you
aim to use it for.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
We aim to kill Kansas with it, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Uh huh. You've got any particular Kansas in mind?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I ain't particularly.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
He told me that's your first trip up here, the first.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Trip for any of you. What's that got to do
with it? You've lost many cattle? I've lost all I'm
going to?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
How many?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So I'm twenty thirty head sampete two of 'em after
get started. Men men out there waving blankets, they set
fire to in the night, and it wasn't it neither
we've seen them. But we couldn't chase them or go
shooting at him, and we lost the whole herd.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Now why didn't you send Hoyd for ammunition. You're gonna start.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Shooting next time there's short ammunition, Marshall, next time it happens.
We thought maybe we'd some of us take off a
few days, do a little hunting. I see, I want
to get this herd to dodge. Wanna get it sold.
Then we're riding back this way.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
And shoot anybody you come across. Is that it?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Like I said, I ain't particular, Marshall, not about Kansas.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I ain't telling me something Raven. Do you ever hear
of Jay Hawkers? No, they're outlaws, Raven. They're murderers, criminals.
They're men who started riding on the Missouri border during
the war and they got the taste of bloot in
their mouths Now it's like they got no place to go,
so they're out after anything in sight. They cause a
(08:53):
lot of trouble.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
And why don't you stop him?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
We try. Don't forget the ordinary Kansas hates Jay Hawker's
as much as you do.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
But what do they want? What good you do them
to stampede my herd.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You'll find out what they want. They'll let you know.
And I want to stay here to help you when
they do.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I don't know whether I trust you or not.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I guess you'll have to find that one not too Raven.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, I'll find it out. I got work to do now.
I don't know if the cook or feeding the Kansas man.
But you can go ask you what's doing?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
What you doing? Huh? Huh? What is it, Truster?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's almost daylight?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Oh yeah, I guess we better get up.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I declare I didn't hear a thing all night. I
slipped right through.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well if it had been a stamp pecher to herd Chester.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
And then Jay Hawkers with Dylan.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Yeah what Look here, you're riding that horse. That's Jim Hoyt,
who wears his clothes. Look, it's all bloodied up. They're
having to help him get.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Down off his horse.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
There's Jack Raven. Yeah, what in the world do you
suppost happen?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
He didn't get those marks on his back from a fall.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Came.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Take a look at Jim Hoyt. Marshall, take a good
luck where they catch your hut?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
How come you know anybody caught me?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Marshall, that's a good question. I do you know?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I says happened before Lord. It's one of their methods.
If the Jayhawkers.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Might a fancy name for a bunch of murdering devils.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You are on garden. They sneak up on you so
that the way to trip me in flog me.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Then they give them a message for me.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
They want money. Huh.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I got two thousand head of cattle, Marshall. If I
pay them Jayhawkers two dollars ahead, they say there won't
be no more trouble by sundown.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I want that money.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
By sundown, you're gonna pay it a raven.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I'd rather lose a whole herd. We'll ride garden pairs tonight.
There won't be any more beatings, and I hope there's.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
No shooting them. Cattle are ready to run most anything
by now.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
We'd like to ride with you a raven.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I might trust you, Marshall. I don't know, but the
men wouldn't. They never stand for it. All right, we're
gonna be around. We're not leaving here, and you better
keep pretty close to camp. You might get yourself killed
if you stray very far.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Listen, Listen to an electronic miracle. This electronic miracle accurae,
means that everything from auto tires to apple pie battleship
steel to baby food, butter to cigarettes can be made
better and safer for you. Now, I meet mister Burt Choke,
brilliant young president of Industrial Nucleonics. Well, word exactly what
(12:43):
is accuray, well jarge?
Speaker 9 (12:45):
It a device by which a stream of electrons passes
through and analyzes the product while it.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Is actually been made.
Speaker 9 (12:52):
They transfit what they see to this electronic brain, which
adjusts the production machinery for errors down to millions of
an end.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
One more question, one that so many people ask me.
How does Accua make Chesterfield a better cigarette than was
ever possible before?
Speaker 9 (13:08):
Every cigarette made with Vaccurate control contains a more precise measure.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Of perfectly packed tobaccos.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
So Chesterfield smokes smoother without hotspots or a hard drum.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And that's why Chesterfield tastes so much better. I guess
that's why you smoke them yourself.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
For you see, I know what Accurate can do.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Where's your answer?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
If you want tomorrow's better cigarette today next time?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Stop?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Remember only Chesterfield is made the modern way with accurat
best for you.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I took Raven's advice, and Chester and I stayed with
a chug Wagon. All that day, But when the herd
was bedded down about dusk, we settled up and rode
out of camp. Raven had his men standing guard by
TuS all right, and he had the herd line and
a plane that apparently nobody could approach without being seen.
A mile or so off we scotted the land all dark,
(14:27):
and just as the moon was coming up, we found
what I've been hoping for, a deep gully about a
half a mile from the herd. The contour of the
land made it difficult to see unless you were almost
on top of it, and I picked it as the
most likely approach the jayhawkers and ewes. We hid our
horses at the bottom and climbed back out.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That's awful long.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Gullys and jayhawkers could ride out of it most anywhere
for a mile.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
How they cut chester, But right in here is where
it's closest to the herd. Oh, we gotta lie down.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
You know, I've been thinking, mister Neilon, there's only two
us might go hard if we have to shoot it out.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
If maybe it does men.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I'm hoping i won't be any shooting at all.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You know, most half my mouth Matt Herd had or
to bother 'em very much.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
They didn't bother 'em. Like Ravens said, those cattle are
ready to run at anything.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, if we can't shoot, how are we gonna stop
them jayhawkers?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Now most of that kind of cowards Chester. We surprise 'em.
Maybe we can scare 'em into dropping their guns. You'll
believe that. And I'm gambling on it anyway. And if
we start a stampede by getting into a gun battle
over here, those Texans aren't gonna treat us anybody than
they were the jay hawkers.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Make sure a hard d lord ain't that.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, they got some cause to be Jesse.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, they got no cause. Listen, somebody in the gulch. Oh,
they're right down there, mister Gilli. Now come claim it
out in.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
A minute now, if we're on top of 'em.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, come on, now, do you hear what?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
They don't do? An they shooting unless I do?
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No, I don't quiet now that's right? Oh no, no,
too much move to ride over there, So stampede from here.
Speaker 10 (16:35):
All we gotta do is spread out as long as
the goats and start shooting.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Uh huh. And don't matter whether you hit cows. Or text.
Oh that's spread out a little chessep. We'll crawl right
up on top of 'em. Yeah, alright, you come on. No, No,
we're long way is all we set up? Enough right
a fire them cattle stampiece. Sure, I'll have the hands
so full chasing 'em. They won't have time to work.
(17:00):
You better cover, get your hands up.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
You better do what he says.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
We're all around you right anywhere, all right, chessa tom what.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I was getting away was doing?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Will we chase him?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Now?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Let him go Chester, We got the other three.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
He sure did put up a fight in me.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah, I kind of misjudge her being cowards and couldn't listen. Listen, listen, Yeah,
it's the cattle. We started another stampede after all.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Better go help me now.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
The running the other way. We never got anywhere near him.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Tectives is gonna be mighty man.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, and mostly at us. We left the jay hawkers
right where they died, rode slowly back to the camp.
Nobody was there but the cook, so we sat down
and waited. We waited three or four hours before Anny
(18:08):
riders showed up, and when they did, they weren't exactly friendly.
They stood around at the distance and watched us as
though they were guarding a couple of prisoners. Finally, Jim
Hood walked over to us.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It was you done all that shooting, Marshall?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Some of it? Yeah, I was shooting too.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
The man wants to hang you.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Ah, that's up.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
We've seen you riding around.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Didn't know what you was up.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
To, but we sure found out. Didn't win.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Now you just look here, four of us here. Now
you're gonna put up a fight.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I don't blame you if it being mad now the
rest of you, but that's no excuse to be talking
about Lyncheon and I mean talking Marshall.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
We're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Wouldn't you like to know why we were doing the shooting?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
We know all we need to know.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Unbuckle them guns boat usual, I had heart. He's Jack Reid.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Raven ain't gonna stop us.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
What's going on here?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
We're about to hang us a couple of Kansans raving.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's what I figured.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Don't aim to have no interference, all right, I don't
give you any good.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I want to tell you something first, so say it out.
I was kind of curious about it, so I rode
over to where those two did all that shooting.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
You know what, I found a bunch of empty cartridges.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I found three dead men hot laying in a gully.
What now, I don't know what these here Jayhawkers is
supposed to look like. But them three men I found,
that's how they ought to look. It's for true re
It's true.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I guess I've been a little hot headed.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I didn't trust some Marshal either, not at first.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, ain't.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Hey, you've done our work for us, Marshall. It was
you too, found them devils and faced.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I forget it. Oh that's ober. I don't think it'll
be bothered anymore.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Say Marshall. Me and Howitt and the men. Uh, well,
we've had a bad trip. When we get to Dodge,
we'll maybe wanna kick up our heels a little.
