The story of the violence.

That moves West with Young America and the story of
a man will move with it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
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 chance they job, and it makes a man
watchful and a little lonely.

What's just doing?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
You're meeting look like eve.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Way, like any other twenty year old, I guess Jessin.
He's lived back in Philadelphia since he was five.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Since his mom Cleve busted up. Yeah, I guess he'll recognize.
Oh well, mates, gosh, what are you doing down here?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Just looking over the new rivals and seeing how many
unhealthy rooms I can count on grass sing.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
When you look at that head, Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Oh rain, If that isn't a blossom of blooming you,
I think that's.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The boy was supposed to make.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, that's only in Cleveland's sons who match mean that
swaggering all roughnecks.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Got a son who dresses like her. He can't always
tell about parnces doc.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Hey, Tom, he's sure giving the depot little or something,
cho't go all way?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yes, Hey you are Tom Cleveland, aren't you? Yes? Or
I am? I'm Matt Jillen Marshall here at Dodge.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Pleasure, Marshall Dolan.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Your dad couldn't get into day, and he asked me
to meet you and get you started out to the ranch.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's very kind to you, Marshalls.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
This is all new. You get used to it.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I hope so.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But right now everyone seems to be amused at something too.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
While the boys are out here aren't much used to
such style, I guess.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And Philip, don't you? They told me this was a
correct western attire.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, it's not quiet at any rate. Your father left
the saddle horse for you at delivery state, Uh saddle horn?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Well, isn't there any means of public conveyance.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well, I'm afraid we don't have any public conveyances in
Dodge Down.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But I don't ride too well except for a flat saddle.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
A flat saddle I never heard of.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
St Oh, this is Chester prop, Tom Cleveland, how do you.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Hear? Daddy's sure going to have himself atore with you
that you know what?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It's strange heading a father after all these years. What
sort of a man is he? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Good dad? Nice? I guess he's just an ordinary frontier
cattle man.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well, I guess we'll get on all right?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, well I hope you will.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Tom.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Now watch this man, you're ready, Tom. He's fast man.
He's a lot faster than I was at his as
a gun in your holster, Son, and I shut till
the bottles in there? All right?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Raw?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Did you see it?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Matt? Is it?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah's good? Shouldn't. Tom gets four out of five of
them every time right out.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
There, and I'll be getting Clive out of five.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I don't dot it? Well, Cleve, how about to be
getting on into town?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
See you again, Marshall, Same here.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Tom, Me and my boy has been working like this, Matt,
three four hours a day for certain near two months
now he's a.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Born gun handry. Is that all right?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
When he come here and I heard how they laughed
at him, Matt, I decided I was gonna make a
command under that boy if it killed me.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now, the ideas got cleve that there's more toy than gunsling.
You can make a good shop in two months, but
it takes longer to turn a boy into a man.
M Maybe, well, he'll be treated like one, same as
I always been treated. I've stood up to the best
of them. And you know that if I got time
in Tascosa when.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I out drawed the Waco kid. Yeah, but times are changing.
The laws here now, and the law ask questions. So uh,
don't push him too fast and give him a chance
to find something and what I'm not really sure, Cleave,
but I know one thing. He's not gonna find it
(06:12):
in a pistol holster. H Free yourself the old fashioned ideas.
(06:34):
Don't free young, freshen up your taste, smoke him. Today,
all over the.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Country, more people are changing to Ellen M than to.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Any other cigarette.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And it's all because only Ellen M gives you full
exciting flavor through the your white miracle tip L and
M draws, easier taste, richer smoke's cleaner, so free up,
freshen up your taste.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Live mody, change to L and M.

That's a nice night, mister Dylan, cold and clear, the
cake of ice.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Ask him be a little fosty for four mornings. I

airs of gog iron sharp.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You could hear church bell ten miles away.
Speaker 2 (08:08):

Speaker 3 (08:35):
I'm trying to find me a Cleveland's something wrong. Yeah,
he's got to get that boy heads out of the
long branch.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
He brought him in earlier and then left him. Then
Tom's been drinking too much.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That's Cleaves. The way I'm making a man out of him.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well, they better make him a quiet I want who
won't live long enough to be a man.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (08:52):
The boy's talking too much?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Please, started himself bragging all over the place. You don't
know you?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, I know?
Speaker 3 (08:58):

Speaker 2 (10:06):

Speaker 3 (10:14):
It was just an argument, Marshal.
Speaker 2 (10:16):

I ain't been here long enough to tell he's just
a half day kid, broy. Man's got a gun on
his hip. He ain't a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He saw he was on the project of not enough
to give him room. Most folks give me room, Marshall.
And I didn't have to shoot him in the arm.
Speaker 2 (10:47):

back turn?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I shot him, mister, and his back wasn't turned. You're
ru filthy. I hold it both of him. Now, talk
soft and keep your hands on the bar. You'll answer
to me for this, and you won't be facing up
to a half grown kid. Ah, all right, mister, let's
(11:28):
say eleven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I'll wait for you a delivery stable good enough just
to ask for Brawley Star, Brawling Star, and at Marshall
see you in the morning.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Mister, What.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
What have I done?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Man?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I m'd say you got yourself in about as much
trouble as you can handle. Cleve, maybe more than you
can handle it. Happy holidays from L and M. And
(12:22):
here's how to say it to your friends. Give modern
Here's L and M Holiday cartons. L and M Holiday
cartons are gay, handsome, a gift that says both you

the L and M miracles him.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
L and M draws easier taste, richer, smokes cleaner.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's why the day more people are changing to Ellen
M than to any other cigarette. So smoke elam and
remember your friends appreciate your gift of Ellen M Holiday cartons.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Smoke putting eleven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Mister John, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Uh, you've turned that stove damper down. It's getting kind
of hot any here.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
You're just gonna sit here? Yeah, I guess so, But
BROLLI starl killing Chester. The one thing the law can't
do is keep a fool from being a fool.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well, I know, but Roy's up there of this stable
in and on my hitching ryal mind, on his own business.
I got no reason to bother him. And if Cleve
jumps him, it'll be self defense and I still got
no reason. Yeah, but maybe Cleve won't be off her.
He won't. Probably he'll make sure of that. Oh, morning, kitty, Kitty, Matt.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
I seem to be making a habit of running to.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You about the Cleveland. Yeah, you and Chester both? What's wrong? Now?
What's the old man Cleve?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
He's sitting over there in the long Branch drinking, then
added for two hours.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Oh, I didn't know he was in town yet. Man,
he actslutely crazy.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Will you come talk to him at least?
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Sure, kiddy, Wanning Cleve, what are you doing here? Mind
(15:06):
if I said, I'm all right you wanner?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Thanks? Ah, looks like you've taken on a fair sized
load there. What's the difference.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
It's a bad state to be in for a man
about to walk into a gun. I'm alright, don't worry
them about me. Brawley is fast, cleave as fast as
they come. You've got a lot of nerve to give
him even better odds by getting yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Gis my business. And of course a man that faces
down the Waco kid doesn't have much to worry about.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I guess n No, we may have that Brawley's the
man who killed the kid a few years later, and
I'll press it. You know you're a full Cleve. I
didn't just stay home this morning. I had to come.
They laughed at.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Cleve. You've never even.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Seen the Waco kid or anything the othership brag about. Oh,
you've never been in a gunfight in your life.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It ain't true. It is true, and you know it.
As long as it stayed just harmless, target didn't matter much.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But you started felling your boy fully to trying to
make him into something you never were.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And last night you never got him killed by it.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh, boys got to know how to take care of us.
Taking care of himself is one thing. Mothering off and
I guess a bullet throw his arms another. He could
just as well have been in his heart. Probably let
him off easy and a year agoing up there and
get yourself killed.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Though I ain't. I can't. I can't do it, trying
to drink myself up through her and I can't man
(17:00):
my collar. I forget it. Cleeve. If a man runs
into somebody who can put the Indian side, look your boy,
uh ketty, yeah man, take care of him. We're gettyim upstairs.
(17:25):
It's something you can do, a whole lot of.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Chester where Tom takes.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Now what is it?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Tom's out there in the street, He's wearing a gun.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
And he's headed for the liver statement, all right, this
kid must be out of his head.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Tom Tom Clay was yes, sir, Hold up.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
On willis.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Where are you going? Tom?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I don't know where I'm going to, Marshall. It's my fight.
I started it, Dad didn't.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I don't know who started it, but I know who's
gonna stop it. Taker's gotten Chester. Wait, shut up now?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Used to stay here and don't know Chester where he
tries to get away for the bullet Roy's und round.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I'll be happy to well now.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I wasn't exactly looking to see you this morning, Marshal.
You ain't here to stand up for somebody else. Sorry,
you just standing up for the law.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Probably well it was in mind nor there ain't no
law being broke, call it law in order that the
gunfights not very orderly. I sure don't aim tod you
no shooting less than somebody shoots it me first. Nobody's gone,
so probably Cleveland's not gonna show. Oh, no, find I
had a feeling you wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He looked a little Crawley last night, just the big wind,
no rain. His boy feels different though. I just stopped
in up the streets there. He was heading down here
to face you. I'll say one thing. The yearling ain't
got much sense, but he's sure full of vinegar. He's
a good kid, probably in spite of what his dad's
done to him. I wouldn't want anything to happen to him.
(19:20):
You won't long as you stay shy of me. And
there's one way to make sure of that. He got
a horse there and a stable, Get it and ride
the law. Say that, Marshall, I said it, Broaly.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You really run your town, don't you? All right? Marshall?
And I got no reason to stay. I'll ride good.
It's a long Broaly jobs anymore. I do have any
(20:01):
words this, mister Dylan.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
What happened anytimes?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Nothing much. Tom Prowley's righting out of town, and you
better get back out of the ranch.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I have to find my father first.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
He's in town somewhere. He'll be out later. Tom.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
He's drunk, isn't he. Well, it's all right, Marshall. I
understand him rather well. I think he's something of a
braggart and a liar, and most likely a coward.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I don't worry. I'll never let him find out. I know,
after all, he's my father.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Well, then maybe you can help him grow up. Uh,
maybe you can make a man out of him. I
hope so, sir, in a certain time, I think you
will in a moment, Our Star William Conrad. In nineteen hundred,
(21:29):
twenty miles an hour very often was excessive speed. But
in nineteen hundred, as now, speed is a relative concept.
It's relative, for instance, to traffic conditions. An empty highway
is safer than a crowded one. It's relative to the
time of day dusk, dawn, and night driving is more
hazardous than daylight. It's relative to weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
(21:53):
and snow means slow down, even on highways that are
posted for high maximum speed limits. In other words, safe
speed is a question of driver's judgment. Police patrols can
pick up a few of the most careless drivers. But
the policeman that counts the most is the one you
carry in your own head. When he tells you to
(22:15):
slow down and stop taking chances, listen to him.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
The life you save may be your own.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
This has been a CBS Radio public service announcement and
now William Conrad, you know on the frontier, if a
girl was looking for her husband, they used to say she's.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Throwing a mighty wide loop. Well, next week a girl
catches her husband right enough, but not the one she wants.
And that was the West.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Raw?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Did you see it?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Matt? Is it?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah's good? Shouldn't. Tom gets four out of five of
them every time right out.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
There, and I'll be getting Clive out of five.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I don't dot it? Well, Cleve, how about to be
getting on into town?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
See you again, Marshall, Same here.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Tom, Me and my boy has been working like this, Matt,
three four hours a day for certain near two months
now he's a.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Born gun handry. Is that all right?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
When he come here and I heard how they laughed
at him, Matt, I decided I was gonna make a
command under that boy if it killed me.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now, the ideas got cleve that there's more toy than gunsling.
You can make a good shop in two months, but
it takes longer to turn a boy into a man.
M Maybe, well, he'll be treated like one, same as
I always been treated. I've stood up to the best
of them. And you know that if I got time
in Tascosa when.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I out drawed the Waco kid. Yeah, but times are changing.
The laws here now, and the law ask questions. So uh,
don't push him too fast and give him a chance
to find something and what I'm not really sure, Cleave,
but I know one thing. He's not gonna find it
(06:12):
in a pistol holster. H Free yourself the old fashioned ideas.
(06:34):
Don't free young, freshen up your taste, smoke him. Today,
all over the.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Country, more people are changing to Ellen M than to.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Any other cigarette.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And it's all because only Ellen M gives you full
exciting flavor through the your white miracle tip L and
M draws, easier taste, richer smoke's cleaner, so free up,
freshen up your taste.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Live mody, change to L and M.

That's a nice night, mister Dylan, cold and clear, the

Ask him be a little fosty for four mornings. I

airs of gog iron sharp.

I'm trying to find me a Cleveland's something wrong. Yeah,
he's got to get that boy heads out of the
long branch.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
He brought him in earlier and then left him. Then
Tom's been drinking too much.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That's Cleaves. The way I'm making a man out of him.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well, they better make him a quiet I want who
won't live long enough to be a man.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (08:52):
The boy's talking too much?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Please, started himself bragging all over the place. You don't
know you?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, I know?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Left, he left, the boys took it up. He kept
potting Tom until well he's just.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Sick?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Marshalls out here, Let's get over there under the lamp son.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Time at all. Hot it happen, boy, I did it?

didn't know you were in Tom. Probably I just got here.
This afternoon doesn't take you along, does.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
It, Marshall?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Till I I I hope you won't take any official
action in this. It was a fair draw. You better
go on over there and that doc take that bullet
out of Tom.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Come on, boy.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It was just an argument, Marshal.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
He he out drew lots waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Here picking kind of easy game, aren't you, broy he picked.
I didn't got business and dodge, have you and me?
I ain't been here long enough to tell he's just
a half day kid, broy. Man's got a gun on
his hip. He ain't a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He saw he was on the project of not enough
to give him room. Most folks give me room, Marshall.
And I didn't have to shoot him in the arm.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
You know, no, you didn't, Tom, all right, it's nothing
that who's on a bull?
Speaker 6 (10:56):

Father?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Where is the sneak to caught my boy with his
back turn?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I shot him, mister, and his back wasn't turned. You're
ru filthy. I hold it both of him. Now, talk
soft and keep your hands on the bar. You'll answer
to me for this, and you won't be facing up
to a half grown kid. Ah, all right, mister, let's
(11:28):
say eleven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I'll wait for you a delivery stable good enough just
to ask for Brawley Star, Brawling Star, and at Marshall
see you in the morning.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Mister, What.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
What have I done?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Man?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I m'd say you got yourself in about as much
trouble as you can handle. Cleve, maybe more than you
can handle it. Happy holidays from L and M. And
(12:22):
here's how to say it to your friends. Give modern
Here's L and M Holiday cartons. L and M Holiday
cartons are gay, handsome, a gift that says both you
and your friends know how to.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Modern free, freshen up your taste, smoke it. Remember when you.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Smoke Leen M, you always get full, exciting flavor through
the L and M miracles him.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
L and M draws easier taste, richer, smokes cleaner.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's why the day more people are changing to Ellen
M than to any other cigarette. So smoke elam and
remember your friends appreciate your gift of Ellen M Holiday cartons.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Smoke putting eleven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Mister John, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Uh, you've turned that stove damper down. It's getting kind
of hot any here.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
You're just gonna sit here? Yeah, I guess so, But
BROLLI starl killing Chester. The one thing the law can't
do is keep a fool from being a fool.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well, I know, but Roy's up there of this stable
in and on my hitching ryal mind, on his own business.
I got no reason to bother him. And if Cleve
jumps him, it'll be self defense and I still got
no reason. Yeah, but maybe Cleve won't be off her.
He won't. Probably he'll make sure of that. Oh, morning, kitty, Kitty, Matt.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
I seem to be making a habit of running to.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You about the Cleveland. Yeah, you and Chester both? What's wrong? Now?
What's the old man Cleve?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
He's sitting over there in the long Branch drinking, then
added for two hours.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Oh, I didn't know he was in town yet. Man,
he actslutely crazy.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Will you come talk to him at least?
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Sure, kiddy, Wanning Cleve, what are you doing here? Mind
(15:06):
if I said, I'm all right you wanner?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Thanks? Ah, looks like you've taken on a fair sized
load there. What's the difference.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
It's a bad state to be in for a man
about to walk into a gun. I'm alright, don't worry
them about me. Brawley is fast, cleave as fast as
they come. You've got a lot of nerve to give
him even better odds by getting yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Gis my business. And of course a man that faces
down the Waco kid doesn't have much to worry about.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I guess n No, we may have that Brawley's the
man who killed the kid a few years later, and
I'll press it. You know you're a full Cleve. I
didn't just stay home this morning. I had to come.
They laughed at.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Cleve. You've never even.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Seen the Waco kid or anything the othership brag about. Oh,
you've never been in a gunfight in your life.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It ain't true. It is true, and you know it.
As long as it stayed just harmless, target didn't matter much.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But you started felling your boy fully to trying to
make him into something you never were.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And last night you never got him killed by it.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh, boys got to know how to take care of us.
Taking care of himself is one thing. Mothering off and
I guess a bullet throw his arms another. He could
just as well have been in his heart. Probably let
him off easy and a year agoing up there and
get yourself killed.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Though I ain't. I can't. I can't do it, trying
to drink myself up through her and I can't man
(17:00):
my collar. I forget it. Cleeve. If a man runs
into somebody who can put the Indian side, look your boy,
uh ketty, yeah man, take care of him. We're gettyim upstairs.
(17:25):
It's something you can do, a whole lot of.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Chester where Tom takes.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Now what is it?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Tom's out there in the street, He's wearing a gun.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
And he's headed for the liver statement, all right, this
kid must be out of his head.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Tom Tom Clay was yes, sir, Hold up.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
On willis.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Where are you going? Tom?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I don't know where I'm going to, Marshall. It's my fight.
I started it, Dad didn't.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I don't know who started it, but I know who's
gonna stop it. Taker's gotten Chester. Wait, shut up now?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Used to stay here and don't know Chester where he
tries to get away for the bullet Roy's und round.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I'll be happy to well now.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I wasn't exactly looking to see you this morning, Marshal.
You ain't here to stand up for somebody else. Sorry,
you just standing up for the law.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Probably well it was in mind nor there ain't no
law being broke, call it law in order that the
gunfights not very orderly. I sure don't aim tod you
no shooting less than somebody shoots it me first. Nobody's gone,
so probably Cleveland's not gonna show. Oh, no, find I
had a feeling you wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He looked a little Crawley last night, just the big wind,
no rain. His boy feels different though. I just stopped
in up the streets there. He was heading down here
to face you. I'll say one thing. The yearling ain't
got much sense, but he's sure full of vinegar. He's
a good kid, probably in spite of what his dad's
done to him. I wouldn't want anything to happen to him.
(19:20):
You won't long as you stay shy of me. And
there's one way to make sure of that. He got
a horse there and a stable, Get it and ride
the law. Say that, Marshall, I said it, Broaly.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You really run your town, don't you? All right? Marshall?
And I got no reason to stay. I'll ride good.
It's a long Broaly jobs anymore. I do have any
(20:01):
words this, mister Dylan.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
What happened anytimes?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Nothing much. Tom Prowley's righting out of town, and you
better get back out of the ranch.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I have to find my father first.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
He's in town somewhere. He'll be out later. Tom.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
He's drunk, isn't he. Well, it's all right, Marshall. I
understand him rather well. I think he's something of a
braggart and a liar, and most likely a coward.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I don't worry. I'll never let him find out. I know,
after all, he's my father.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Well, then maybe you can help him grow up. Uh,
maybe you can make a man out of him. I
hope so, sir, in a certain time, I think you
will in a moment, Our Star William Conrad. In nineteen hundred,
(21:29):
twenty miles an hour very often was excessive speed. But
in nineteen hundred, as now, speed is a relative concept.
It's relative, for instance, to traffic conditions. An empty highway
is safer than a crowded one. It's relative to the
time of day dusk, dawn, and night driving is more
hazardous than daylight. It's relative to weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
(21:53):
and snow means slow down, even on highways that are
posted for high maximum speed limits. In other words, safe
speed is a question of driver's judgment. Police patrols can
pick up a few of the most careless drivers. But
the policeman that counts the most is the one you
carry in your own head. When he tells you to
(22:15):
slow down and stop taking chances, listen to him.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
The life you save may be your own.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
This has been a CBS Radio public service announcement and
now William Conrad, you know on the frontier, if a
girl was looking for her husband, they used to say she's.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Throwing a mighty wide loop. Well, next week a girl
catches her husband right enough, but not the one she wants.
And that was the West.
