Now, but I think a sermon did do me good too.

lift me up, mister Dillon. The best one I ever
heard was back in Prairie Fall.

come right into the gambling, Holly did and stood up
on the table. He liked, got shot for he finished
the first sentence, shoudered him and went right on.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Ask him, Marshall, I've never had any trouble with the law.
Speaker 7 (09:23):

do with you.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
A deliberate killing is the business of the law anywhere.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
I met some people, but I don't remember no gamblers,
not No.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Ask him, Jemmy.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Is there any reason why a man you've never even
seen before would want to kill you?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Kill me?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
This this fellow is to ask him. He's here gunning
for me.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
He probably followed me out here, he says, he's got
good reason. I don't seem to me like you ought
to know about it if there was a reason like that.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I don't know why any man I ever met one
to kill me.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, that's good enough for me, Jim, What are you
gonna do? Wait for him to come and take him?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
He was like, I already help.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Now you just sit tight.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
At least I'd like to ask him why he think
that could.

Nods Chester, Oh howdy Chester him nice dog, see mister Joan?

something No, kaiawa come at you whatever? Able to do?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
All right, Jim, Come on, Chester, we'll head back toward town. Yes, everybody,
let circle and come back.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Well, he'll likely use that draw back with a barn.
That's the way the Koio would come in.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
All right, Jim, But you stay in the house.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Don't worry nothing about me. I got my old scattered gun.
Speaker 2 (13:47):

do it. That's why you're looking down this gun. Now
you're gonna tell me.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Why talk?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Mister?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
You killed my best friend without reason or sense, in
cold blood.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Where I sha lie. I never killed no man.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Jameson cass of Kansas Territory on the night of June twelfth,
two years ago, in a bar room on the Cincinnati waterfront.
You pleaded self defense and they let you go. Only
it wasn't self defense. It's taken me two long years
to track you down.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
But that was an Indian.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
That was a Delaware Indian.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
He was my servant and he was my friend, the
best friend I ever had. He was as good a
man as you are or any other white.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Man, James, as true wor mad he nothing killed Indian.
You know that you had no reason. Ell he he
joshured me and bothered me, had no right being there
tall with white men.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Oh, I'll kill you with my bare hands.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Hand back asom.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
He's still taking his partner.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Shall you hate Indians too?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Ask him? I hate killing of any kind.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
What Indians don't count is that it. If it been
my friend, I'd probably feel.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Like you do.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Eh, not this murcer.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Ask him that you ever think maybe Jim's got a
reason for the way he feels too?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
A reason? What reason? Well?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Out here there are plenty who feel his way. The
situation's different. Indians aren't all like your delaware. You take
a look up there behind a house, a little grass
plot with the flowers and a three headstones. Those are
Cass's reasons, his wife and his two kids.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And Kyle has put him there.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't hold with what Cass did, but.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
What you're doing is no better.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I don't care what his reasons. I come here to
kill him.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I'm going to do it.
Speaker 5 (19:05):

your chance. Give him back his gun, Jim, turn back, Matt.
This is between him and me. You stay out of
it given the gun Chester.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
No Chester, Jim. Can't you see that.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
You ain't going to be satisfied short of blood? Well
now I ain't either. Wait a minute, Jack, Matt, I'd
hate to have to blast you.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Use your head.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Chimp man comes to kill me, it's him or me, mister,
that's a shotguns.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I told you well that tuns Jim.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
I won't be stopped on the cow.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeh, Jim, Matt.

Speaker 5 (20:35):

Speaker 3 (20:44):
No, you just finded Chester right into town. I got
dock out here as fast as you can.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Will you let me get in Marshall? Least I can do?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Alright? Ask him? Go ahead, but hurry.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Mister, Jones.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You think he'll really bring Doc back? And Chester he'll
bring him back?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Why you took a awful chance of that cousin shotgun?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
It was a gamble, Chester, Yeah, but when you could
have lost.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Maybe you better read me a sermon on the evils
a gambling.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
In a moment our Star William Conrad. When your child
raises his hand in the classroom, does the teacher have
time to answer his questions? How many questions go unanswered
in your schools because teachers in crowded classrooms just don't
have the time to get around to each child. This
is only one of the serious situations that's going to
be faced again and again this year in schools all
(22:07):
over the nation. Every child deserves the best possible educational facilities.
Though a good deal has been done since the post
war years, increased enrollments for this term threatened to wipe
out all gains. Our schools are packed by the largest
enrollment in history. There will be critical shortages in school
room staff, personnel, and transportation unless you do something about it.
(22:28):
Join and work with your local civic group and school board. Now,
through the PTA and other groups, you can take action
to improve the schools in your own community and help
find more qualified teachers who are so desperately needed. Don't
waste time. Your child's education is at stake. Don't leave
it up to the next fellow, because you're the person
who can help improve our schools. This has been a
(22:48):
public service message by CBS.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Well, you're a long way from water here thanks to
the Santa Fe Railroad.

with gambling him.

Why do you want to kill Jim Cass? What makes
you think i'd do a man eating up by hate

Speaker 3 (05:20):
You better remember something else too. Jim Cass is a
friend of mine. You go anywhere near him, and it'll be.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
A pleasure to run you clear out of the country.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
It wouldn't do any good, Marshall, I'll get him sooner
or later.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
Good afternoon.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
I saw Jim Cass over the long Branch, not fifteen
minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Free yourself of old fashioned ideas.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Why don't you have modern?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Free, price it up your taste, smoke it today.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
All over the country, more people are changing to LL
and M than to any other cigarette. And it's all
because only Ellen M gives you full exciting flavor through
the pure white miracle tip. L and M draws easier taste,
richer smoke's cleaner. So free up, freshen up your taste,
(07:24):
live modern, Change to LL and M. Make you day,
your big red letter day, and start to live the
modern way.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Live, live, live modern.
Speaker 9 (07:35):

for a while, William.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Sure, as long as he's got money. Okay, thanks kidding, Marshall,
have a drink and no thanks.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Ask him, Marshall, I've never had any trouble with the law.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
I don't want any now. This has got nothing to
do with you.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
A deliberate killing is the business of the law anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
As him, he'll have his fair chance, sure house odds,
And I told you Jim Cass is not a fighting man,
so you'll do his fighting for him if I have to, Hm.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
I'm sorry, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Sure, but you won't stop it, William. No, he must
have a powerful hate I have.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I couldn't lock you up in the.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And postpone it for a few days, that's all. And
it's for running me out of town.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
I'm leaving anyway to go out to Castles. If you
want to warn him.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You better go now so you can follow him.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
I can find him without your help.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Ask him.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'm gonna warn you. You harm Jim Cass, and I'm
gonna jail you or kill him.
Speaker 7 (10:26):

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Oh no, not likely from Ohio river boats.
Speaker 3 (11:54):

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Uh, I was back east to Pennsylvania a couple of
years ago. You remember that.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
I met some people, but I don't remember no gamblers,
not No.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Ask him, Jemmy.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Is there any reason why a man you've never even
seen before would want to kill you?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Kill me?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
This this fellow is to ask him. He's here gunning
for me.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
He probably followed me out here, he says, he's got
good reason. I don't seem to me like you ought
to know about it if there was a reason like that.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I don't know why any man I ever met one
to kill me.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, that's good enough for me, Jim, What are you
gonna do? Wait for him to come and take him?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
He was like, I already help.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Now you just sit tight.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
At least I'd like to ask him why he think
that could.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Be him, and maybe I'll take a look.
Speaker 10 (12:52):
Nods Chester, Oh howdy Chester him nice dog, see mister Joan?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, Chester, ask him Pologia out like you thought. But
soon as he spotted the place, he turned off. I
come in tell you like you said.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah, that's my mistake. Now we've lost him. He's out
there somewhere waiting for us to leave.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well what do we do, Jim? Maybe you better ride
into town with.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Us and let a gunman scare me off my place
something No, kaiawa come at you whatever? Able to do?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
All right, Jim, Come on, Chester, we'll head back toward town. Yes, everybody,
let circle and come back.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Well, he'll likely use that draw back with a barn.
That's the way the Koio would come in.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
All right, Jim, But you stay in the house.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Don't worry nothing about me. I got my old scattered gun.
Speaker 2 (13:47):

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Live free on freshen up your taste Smoking and M.
Only the modern miracle of the pure white miracle tip
can bring all of L and M's full exciting flavor

more people are changing to L and M than to

Remember, L and.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
M draws easier, taste, richer, smokes cleaner.

Where'd you come from?
Speaker 3 (16:01):

Speaker 7 (16:11):

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Just I got the horses and we'll get out. Jim,
I told you to stay in the house.
Speaker 5 (16:20):

Speaker 4 (16:34):
All right.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
No, mister, my name is Jim Tasss. You tell me yours.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Ask him, Clint, ask him.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I'm supposed to know you. No we ever met. No,
but you got the notion to kill me, then I'll
do it. That's why you're looking down this gun. Now
you're gonna tell me.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Why talk?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Mister?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
You killed my best friend without reason or sense, in
cold blood.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Where I sha lie. I never killed no man.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Jameson cass of Kansas Territory on the night of June twelfth,
two years ago, in a bar room on the Cincinnati waterfront.
You pleaded self defense and they let you go. Only
it wasn't self defense. It's taken me two long years
to track you down.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
But that was an Indian.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
That was a Delaware Indian.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
He was my servant and he was my friend, the
best friend I ever had. He was as good a
man as you are or any other white.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Man, James, as true wor mad he nothing killed Indian.
You know that you had no reason. Ell he he
joshured me and bothered me, had no right being there
tall with white men.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Oh, I'll kill you with my bare hands.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Hand back asom.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
He's still taking his partner.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Shall you hate Indians too?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Ask him? I hate killing of any kind.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
What Indians don't count is that it. If it been
my friend, I'd probably feel.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Like you do.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Eh, not this murcer.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Ask him that you ever think maybe Jim's got a
reason for the way he feels too?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
A reason? What reason? Well?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Out here there are plenty who feel his way. The
situation's different. Indians aren't all like your delaware. You take
a look up there behind a house, a little grass
plot with the flowers and a three headstones. Those are
Cass's reasons, his wife and his two kids.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And Kyle has put him there.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't hold with what Cass did, but.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
What you're doing is no better.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I don't care what his reasons. I come here to
kill him.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I'm going to do it.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Ask come all right, mister, and genever you will get
your chance. Give him back his gun, Jim, turn back, Matt.
This is between him and me. You stay out of
it given the gun Chester.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
No Chester, Jim. Can't you see that.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
You ain't going to be satisfied short of blood? Well
now I ain't either. Wait a minute, Jack, Matt, I'd
hate to have to blast you.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Use your head.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Chimp man comes to kill me, it's him or me, mister,
that's a shotguns.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I told you well that tuns Jim.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
I won't be stopped on the cow.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeh, Jim, Matt.
Speaker 5 (19:54):

Chester. Give me your kerchief here at Marshall take mine?
Speaker 7 (20:10):

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Ask him? Maybe I had this coming. I never thought
much about that Indian. Maybe I should.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
You'd be quiet generalized still Marshall, I Marshall, I'm sorry
I caused. It's a little late to be sorry, isn't it?
Ask him?
Speaker 9 (20:33):

Why don't you get out of here? Befeard?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I'm going mad? Eh?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Is she dead? No?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
No, you just finded Chester right into town. I got
dock out here as fast as you can.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Will you let me get in Marshall? Least I can do?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Alright? Ask him? Go ahead, but hurry.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Mister, Jones.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You think he'll really bring Doc back? And Chester he'll
bring him back?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Why you took a awful chance of that cousin shotgun?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
It was a gamble, Chester, Yeah, but when you could
have lost.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Maybe you better read me a sermon on the evils
a gambling.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
In a moment our Star William Conrad. When your child
raises his hand in the classroom, does the teacher have
time to answer his questions? How many questions go unanswered
in your schools because teachers in crowded classrooms just don't
have the time to get around to each child. This
is only one of the serious situations that's going to
be faced again and again this year in schools all
(22:07):
over the nation. Every child deserves the best possible educational facilities.
Though a good deal has been done since the post
war years, increased enrollments for this term threatened to wipe
out all gains. Our schools are packed by the largest
enrollment in history. There will be critical shortages in school
room staff, personnel, and transportation unless you do something about it.
(22:28):
Join and work with your local civic group and school board. Now,
through the PTA and other groups, you can take action
to improve the schools in your own community and help
find more qualified teachers who are so desperately needed. Don't
waste time. Your child's education is at stake. Don't leave
it up to the next fellow, because you're the person
who can help improve our schools. This has been a
(22:48):
public service message by CBS.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
