Speaker 6 (12:29):
Oh well, come down, Marshall. Surely you don't believe Doc.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Adams is analyzing, Professor, And either you make it harmless

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Are You're free to sell it, and you're free to

And I'm tired of wandering.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I'll do what you say.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
God, I uh hope you don't get into trouble with
your preaching about liquor, Professor.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I've been fighting against drink ever since I was a youth.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh what about opium? Isn't that just as bad?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I don't sell enough to do any harm Marshall.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Maybe, But why he's strong about whiskey.
Speaker 12 (13:12):
When I was a child of twelve, my grandfather got
drunk and threw a pet owl onto a horse that
was standing nearby. What he did and it frightened the
horse into kicking an orphan.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Boy broke the rim of his belly. That boy died.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Marshall, Ah, I see, Professor.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Ah, mister reeves.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Welcome sir, and how is your good father.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Marshall, I'm glad you're here.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh, what's the trouble, Raves?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It's here enough, Professor, he's a trouble.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
My old man he had a bean stuck in his thought.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
The Professor told me to give him a steam bath
and then throw cold water on him.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And I was doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Or what for soupse? He catch cold and get a
cough and brang.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Up the beans.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Oh well of all, but it didn't work, mister Reeves.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
It killed him.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
What my old man is dead?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Did good? Heavens? Poor fellow.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Now I'm gonna kill you for fish.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
Now you're not no, But no man can die of
a mere cool mister Reeves.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Something must have gone wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I went wrong, all right, Come on, we'll get dark
and go say what this is all about, and you'll
get the idea of shooting anybody out of your heads.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Maybe I will.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Hey, what goes on at your house at breakfast, Well
you can take it from me. The best thing that
can go on to your breakfast table is post toasties, Yes, sir,
post toasties. The heat good corn flakes, those golden crisp
corn flakes are the best thing that's happened to corn
since the Indians discovered it.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
You know how to prove it.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Just pour out breakfast bowl folds or post toasties for
your whole tribe. Then watch how they enjoy them. Post
toasties are crisp and tasty from the first bite down
to the last spoonful. That sweet kernel corn flavor makes
your breakfast. So always ask for post toasties. The heat
(15:34):
good corn flakes.
Speaker 13 (15:36):
Post toasties heat good corn flakes. The best thing that's
happened to corn since the Indians has covered it. Keep
good corn flakes, post toasties, keep good corn flakes.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Remember post toasties is one of the famous triple wrap
post cereals. Guaranteed fresh or triple your money bag. Now
back to gun smoke.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Professor Bone wasn't a normal, everyday type citizen, but he
wasn't a murderer either, And whatever gone wrong and killed
Reeves's father couldn't be blamed entirely on him. Reeves had
been a fool to follow his advice in the first place.
Doc told him so too, In as many ways as
he could think of, we found the old man still
(16:41):
lying in the steambath. Reeves had made All he'd done
was to dig a big hole in the ground with
a fire pit in the middle, and then stretched some
canvas across the top for a roof. Doc climbed down
into it, and after a few minutes he came back
out again.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
All I can figure is your father died of a
heart attack.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I don't believe it, douh. And old man was strong.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
As a boy, and I know that.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
But there's nothing else it could have caused it.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
How long did you have him in?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
There was, oh, maybe.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Half hour, Marshal. He was having a fine time. When
I left him. He bought a whole jug of vinegar
on them rocks. I went up to the house to
get some more.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
He don't wait on what you say, vinegar?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Sure, professor, he has said he'd help him to swear.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Wait a minute here, Yeah, oh yes.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I thought so.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Uh, it's the vinegar that killed him, Reeves. Well, you
mean that's limestone you used in there.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Isn't it?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Well limestone alright, You put.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
Vinegar on hot limestone and it'll make acid gas and.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
That's what suffocated Japaw.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I didn't tell you to use limestone, mystery. You can't
blame me for that.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Nor. But the lenego is your idea, profess, and I
still say you murdered it.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Wait a minute, Raves, you're not being sensible. This thing
was an accident, that's all.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
I'm not a murderer. I never heard anybody in my layald.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Even know what you do.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
You'll fake selling that sloppy yours loaded with narcotics. Did
you tell him to stop that match?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah? Yeah, Doaki said he would.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
My medicine is as pure as the dew gentlemen, newborn.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Babe could drink?
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Let me catch your given handy, newborn babe. I'm gonna
analyze it every day you're here, and I hope that
won't be much longer.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Oh, I'm a lonely old man, sir. The only home
I have is in my wagon.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
But then go live in it somewhere else.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
You've caust enough trouble around here.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Take it easy on it.
Speaker 11 (18:57):
It might to be banished from the face of the earth.
Am I not a man like any other man? Do
you think I have no heart, no feelings, no.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Soul or want you just shut up and get out
of here. I want to bury my old man.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
I would gladly help you in that task.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Mister, No, su're not you not by alongside you are unkind.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Sir gentlemen, I take my leave with you good day.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
For some reason, the three of us stood there in
silence and watch Professor Bonone walk away. He stopped once
and glanced back at us for a moment, then went on. Later,
when we got back to Front Street, his wagon was gone.
Then we figured probably that would be the last that
we'd see of him. Dodge was fairly quiet that night,
(20:08):
and when somebody reported seeing a fire of some kind
out on the prairie, I decided I might as well
ride out and have a look.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
There's no flames left, mister Dillon. I guess it must
be all burned out.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I don't remember a house of any kind around here.
I wonder what it was.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
Maybe just a prairie fire that didn't get really started.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Uh oh, that's something Chester over there.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Yeah, I can see if you cold hold why it's
a wagon, mister Dillon. It's all burned up.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's professor bones wagon. Chester.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
I always say, you're right, that's his horse too, professor.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Professor Ball.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Now let's take a look here.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Or in the world? Could he be mister Dallan.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I don't know Chester at a look out now, I'm
gonna move summer.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I'll help you.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Look look right there.
Speaker 6 (21:41):

Speaker 2 (21:43):
That's a profession. I'm afraid Solchester.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Horror, old fella.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
He must have been asleep and his wagon caught fire.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Maybe funny he couldn't get out though, unless he was
drunk or something.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Professor Bone didn't drink Chester.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
That's right, I forgot he sure didn't.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Say.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
You think maybe somebody did this, mister donnan.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I only had two or three men pretty.

You've been acting like one, But that's not what's important.
Not I've analyzed some of bones so called medicine. It's
got opium in it, for one thing.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
But do you think it's dangerous?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Of course it is.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
People can get in my habit, and what's worth that
something is wrong with them and they're taking the stuff.
They wouldn't find out until it's too late.
Speaker 2 (10:51):

and meantime you stay away from Himchester.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Yes, sir, I'm sorry, mister Jones.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
His dropsy coat, unhappy wires, empty larger, naked children, washed clothes,
ricky root. That's enough, blucky noses, broken fins.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Flat purses and fat recupation. I said, that's enough of that, profession.
Speaker 7 (11:40):

Speaker 8 (11:42):
Of good whiskey over your head.
Speaker 6 (11:44):

Speaker 3 (12:17):
And to what do I owe this honor?
Speaker 11 (12:19):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It isn't exactly an honor, Professor. I want you to
stop putting opium and that stop your selling.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Oh well, come down, Marshall. Surely you don't believe Doc.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Adams is analyzing, Professor, And either you make it harmless
or I'm gonna run you out of dodge.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yes, yes, I believe you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Are You're free to sell it, and you're free to
do all the talk and you want.
Speaker 11 (12:44):
But that's all I'm I'm a lonely old man, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And I'm tired of wandering.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I'll do what you say.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
God, I uh hope you don't get into trouble with
your preaching about liquor, Professor.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I've been fighting against drink ever since I was a youth.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh what about opium? Isn't that just as bad?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I don't sell enough to do any harm Marshall.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Maybe, But why he's strong about whiskey.
Speaker 12 (13:12):
When I was a child of twelve, my grandfather got
drunk and threw a pet owl onto a horse that
was standing nearby. What he did and it frightened the
horse into kicking an orphan.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Boy broke the rim of his belly. That boy died.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Marshall, Ah, I see, Professor.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Ah, mister reeves.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Welcome sir, and how is your good father.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Marshall, I'm glad you're here.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh, what's the trouble, Raves?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It's here enough, Professor, he's a trouble.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
My old man he had a bean stuck in his thought.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
The Professor told me to give him a steam bath
and then throw cold water on him.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And I was doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Or what for soupse? He catch cold and get a
cough and brang.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Up the beans.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Oh well of all, but it didn't work, mister Reeves.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
It killed him.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
What my old man is dead?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Did good? Heavens? Poor fellow.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Now I'm gonna kill you for fish.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
Now you're not no, But no man can die of
a mere cool mister Reeves.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Something must have gone wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I went wrong, all right, Come on, we'll get dark
and go say what this is all about, and you'll
get the idea of shooting anybody out of your heads.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Maybe I will.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Hey, what goes on at your house at breakfast, Well
you can take it from me. The best thing that
can go on to your breakfast table is post toasties, Yes, sir,
post toasties. The heat good corn flakes, those golden crisp
corn flakes are the best thing that's happened to corn
since the Indians discovered it.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
You know how to prove it.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Just pour out breakfast bowl folds or post toasties for
your whole tribe. Then watch how they enjoy them. Post
toasties are crisp and tasty from the first bite down
to the last spoonful. That sweet kernel corn flavor makes
your breakfast. So always ask for post toasties. The heat
(15:34):
good corn flakes.
Speaker 13 (15:36):
Post toasties heat good corn flakes. The best thing that's
happened to corn since the Indians has covered it. Keep
good corn flakes, post toasties, keep good corn flakes.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Remember post toasties is one of the famous triple wrap
post cereals. Guaranteed fresh or triple your money bag. Now
back to gun smoke.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Professor Bone wasn't a normal, everyday type citizen, but he
wasn't a murderer either, And whatever gone wrong and killed
Reeves's father couldn't be blamed entirely on him. Reeves had
been a fool to follow his advice in the first place.
Doc told him so too, In as many ways as
he could think of, we found the old man still
(16:41):
lying in the steambath. Reeves had made All he'd done
was to dig a big hole in the ground with
a fire pit in the middle, and then stretched some
canvas across the top for a roof. Doc climbed down
into it, and after a few minutes he came back
out again.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
All I can figure is your father died of a
heart attack.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I don't believe it, douh. And old man was strong.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
As a boy, and I know that.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
But there's nothing else it could have caused it.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
How long did you have him in?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
There was, oh, maybe.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Half hour, Marshal. He was having a fine time. When
I left him. He bought a whole jug of vinegar
on them rocks. I went up to the house to
get some more.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
He don't wait on what you say, vinegar?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Sure, professor, he has said he'd help him to swear.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Wait a minute here, Yeah, oh yes.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I thought so.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Uh, it's the vinegar that killed him, Reeves. Well, you
mean that's limestone you used in there.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Isn't it?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Well limestone alright, You put.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
Vinegar on hot limestone and it'll make acid gas and.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
That's what suffocated Japaw.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I didn't tell you to use limestone, mystery. You can't
blame me for that.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Nor. But the lenego is your idea, profess, and I
still say you murdered it.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Wait a minute, Raves, you're not being sensible. This thing
was an accident, that's all.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
I'm not a murderer. I never heard anybody in my layald.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Even know what you do.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
You'll fake selling that sloppy yours loaded with narcotics. Did
you tell him to stop that match?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah? Yeah, Doaki said he would.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
My medicine is as pure as the dew gentlemen, newborn.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Babe could drink?
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Let me catch your given handy, newborn babe. I'm gonna
analyze it every day you're here, and I hope that
won't be much longer.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Oh, I'm a lonely old man, sir. The only home
I have is in my wagon.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
But then go live in it somewhere else.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
You've caust enough trouble around here.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Take it easy on it.
Speaker 11 (18:57):
It might to be banished from the face of the earth.
Am I not a man like any other man? Do
you think I have no heart, no feelings, no.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Soul or want you just shut up and get out
of here. I want to bury my old man.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
I would gladly help you in that task.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Mister, No, su're not you not by alongside you are unkind.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Sir gentlemen, I take my leave with you good day.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
For some reason, the three of us stood there in
silence and watch Professor Bonone walk away. He stopped once
and glanced back at us for a moment, then went on. Later,
when we got back to Front Street, his wagon was gone.
Then we figured probably that would be the last that
we'd see of him. Dodge was fairly quiet that night,
(20:08):
and when somebody reported seeing a fire of some kind
out on the prairie, I decided I might as well
ride out and have a look.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
There's no flames left, mister Dillon. I guess it must
be all burned out.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I don't remember a house of any kind around here.
I wonder what it was.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
Maybe just a prairie fire that didn't get really started.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Uh oh, that's something Chester over there.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Yeah, I can see if you cold hold why it's
a wagon, mister Dillon. It's all burned up.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's professor bones wagon. Chester.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
I always say, you're right, that's his horse too, professor.
Speaker 4 (21:10):

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Now let's take a look here.
Speaker 6 (21:21):

Speaker 7 (21:51):
He must have been asleep and his wagon caught fire.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Maybe funny he couldn't get out though, unless he was
drunk or something.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Professor Bone didn't drink Chester.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
That's right, I forgot he sure didn't.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Say.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
You think maybe somebody did this, mister donnan.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I only had two or three men pretty.
