Gun Smoke.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there
is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers,
and that's with a US Marshall and the Smell of
gun Smoke. Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad, The story of
(00:47):
the violence that moved west with young America and the
story of a man who moved with it.

According to Dart Oh yeah, yeah, so I understand he.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Don't use English too good.
Speaker 4 (02:02):

hard to follow him, you know. But I'll say one
thing mister doing here sure does call the turn on the.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Way people blacks. That's all right. The thing that was.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Going on over there in Europe and all in cities
in the olden days, I guess just the same.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
It's what modern folks are doing here in Dodge right now.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You don't say why they were.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Steaming and flotting that lions to one another just the
same as now. At least things aren't getting any worse.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Every time person turned around, somebody was killing somebody. Seemed
like hus swords and.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Nies mostly, and it appears they didn't have no guns
to speak us back.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Then stay out. That's your sword or that that's buck Weber. Mister,
yeah it's going.
Speaker 6 (02:46):

If Sam none of us are thrown me out of
the long brand, which I'd call her trouble.
Speaker 5 (03:01):

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Think must have thought he did. Sam's a pretty fair man.
Order there.
Speaker 3 (03:06):

was all ratcy.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
What's she doing in there, she's working.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
What do you think a woman would be doing in there?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Your wife's working on the long branch. Three days ago
she took.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Some of her things and come into town. She says
she was leaving the farm. She was leaving me. Wouldn't
come back no more.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Oh fuck. You know how a woman is. She'll say
a lot of things when she's man not ranchy.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
She ain't like that, he minute marsh and I ain't
even to let her do it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'll give her some rope. She would cool off in
a few days.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Maybe, No was that she and a horn gamble or
hang around her?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
She won't.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I'm going back there and kill that.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
No good.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Wait a minute, fucking wait a minute now. Sam told
you to stay out and from the ship here, and
I think maybe he's right.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Too many in the shape, I mean, oh.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You had a little too much to drink. I think
I'm all less. I could walk.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Huh, I want to walk take his other rochester. I
want to go back there and talk to your right.
Speaker 1 (04:10):

gambler hang around filling her full of lies.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Watch gambler know what do you mean, I have frisk
gold Baits. You've been there every night since she started talking.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Soft to him, trying to give her doubts about her
rightful place in.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The world, as she must have had a few dots already, Bucker,
she wouldn't have left.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
You hang out the wait sears would have fris gold baits.
Everybody laughing at me time going back, were killing waiting?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh you're not, No, you're not. Come on, that's it, that's.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
It, full time talking behind my back.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I'll a funeral. Wouldn't give him any less to talk about.
You know, I'm taking me in jail, Marshall, just for tonight.
But tell the way to keep you out of trouble?
What side are you on anyhow?
Speaker 8 (05:10):
Nine of that?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
No good gamblers?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Maybe neither one. But there's another side to it, loose
your wife's Do you think you should leave politics.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
To the politicians?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Well, I'm sure some politicians would like this.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
But tell me, are you the sort of guy who
thinks taxes are too high?
Speaker 9 (05:45):
Do you like the way your city is kept up?
You think there should be more parks, perhaps a lot
more sandlots for baseball or football? You say you do
or don't like the foreign aid program. Well, our government
was designed to give you a voice. It'd be surprised
at how influential a letter or a wire is to
your congressman or senator. You should protect your right to
(06:08):
be heard by voting. As the Athenian Pericles said, we
do not say that a man who takes no interest
in politics.
Speaker 10 (06:18):
Minds his own business. We say he has no business
here at all. Unquote, take an interest in politics. It
is your business. This is one definition in our dictionary
of freedom.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Good to see him, man, I love Kenny.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Thought you might be going to pass us up this evening.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That's hard to break the habit, Kitty, Yeah, I understand, Ryan, say,
Weber's working.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Here now, that's right, Matt. She started three nights ago. Ah,
she wrong, She'll be back in a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Right now, she's trying.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
Oh her husband came in drunk and mad a while
ago and started abusing me.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I know, I just locked him up for the night.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I'm glad you did, math Buck, Webber could be real
mean if he got started.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm pretty's already started. Kitty. Uh, how about this Frisco Bates?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So that's it.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
I told Ramsey to talk to get around anything to it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I don't think so, not really. The Buck's got the
idea there is.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Well, he's a touchy one, Matt. He's awful hard to figure.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
I hated to see Rancy start here, but she told
me she'd left him, and she didn't have a scent
to her name. I thought she might be better off
here than some of the other places.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
At least I can sort of look after.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Oh, good evening, Marshall.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Are you Ramsey, If you too, will excuse me, I
better look after a couple of things.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
I guess you're probably kind of surprised to find me
working in a place I wo oh.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
No, I've already heard about it. I saw your husband
a little while ago. Oh you were sure you know what.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You're doing, Rancy.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I'm sure, Marshall. That's an easy life to get into,
but it's rough to get out of.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
So's fun and.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I'm afraid Buck's going to cause you trouble.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
He's caused me trouble for seven years? Is that so?
Seven years?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Dredrike make a woman a slave and worker to death?
Never a decent word. You know, some of the easy
ways work out hard to Rancy.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I take my chances.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But Buck might as won't get it to his head
right now.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I'm not going back, not ever.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I got a bucks donna say it that way?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
He has to? And what can he do about it?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
How they could try to harm you? Maybe in someway
I let him. It won't be the first time.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
There's nothing Buck, life's better than hitting a woman. That's
maybe it's a young one.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Well, right now he seems to want to hit a
fellow name Frisco Bass.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Mister Bates is he's just been kind to me. That's wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
And men like him are new to you, Rancy. They
that can cause a lot of trouble sometimes just by
being kind.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I'm not a bad woman, Marshall, at least I don't
think I am.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Oh, I ask, is this little little kindness.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
In the well the reason to laugh once?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
You know? While?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Is that too much not to ask?
Speaker 10 (10:14):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Sometimes a little too much to expect? Are you going
to monopolization? Lady?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Are leaving?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Marshalltow Oh? How are you first go? Rad see? You
better go see what it was? As a kiddie wanted
huh what oh, all right, Marshall, you excuse me, mister
b certainly.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
Is this the policy of the law in Dodd City Marshall,
interfering in people's personal affairs.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Sometimes, Yeah, at least when our personal affairs seem to
be heading toward to kill him? Who you mean Ranchay's husband,
I suppose, and he came around looking for you with
adn't he the way he's been treating her? I may
go looking for him.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Why her frisco her other woman around her? And I
like Rancy. She's out of place here, she's not to
kind of be working here, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
It may she won't be long.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I've asked Rancy to go away with me, Marshall, I've
asked her to marry me. That surprised me a little bit. Yeah,
that surprised me too, But that's the way it is.
R agreed to her. Not yet, but she will. Buck
Webber won't have a thing to say about it, he wanna.
(11:37):
I wouldn't count on that if I were you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Many a child has been warned by his power and
said if he digs too deep a hole in the
flower bed, he's liable to fall through to China. Well,
apparently this little tail had its origin in our American
folklore many years ago, and it all started when Captain
Wentworth bumped into the Great Sam Patch in the middle
of the China Seas. The captain said, why Sam, how did.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
You get here?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I thought you were drowned near the Canadian border. Sam replied,
I didn't get here, and all I don't right through
in let the Niagara dive. I went so deep I
thought it was just as short to come up till
the side, so I came out here in the China Seas.
Now you just turn your ship around and I'll race
(12:44):
you back to Boston. And if I don't beat you,
then my name's not Sam. Patch folklore belongs to every
nation's legendary past, and I guess we Americans have our
share of some tall tails.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Warned Buck.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Marshall, just leave, all right, horrible, and I hope you
slept off some of those crazy notions you had last night.
Maybe all right, come on out. I got your belongings
out here in the office, but there's no charge against you.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You're free to leave. IM glad to hear that, and
you may starts there on the table.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Thanks. I get my gun back.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Chess Her I'll get it there are, But what are
your plans where I don't can better ride back at home,
take care of the chores. Stocks used to be in
fed a couple hours earlier. And that's not what I meant.
(14:28):
But what about Ryancy?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I ain't right.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
We made up my mind yet, Marshall, leave her alone?
Will you give her a chance to use her own judgment?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Doesn't seem like she's got much of that, and the
folks she's took up with the last few days of
her own business.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
She's a grown woman.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
She's a married woman too. She had not to be
carrying on the way.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
She hasn't done anything wrong.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
I ain't saying she is.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I did nothing against Rancy.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Any woman's liable to get out of hand once in
a while and start thinking, fancy I.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Got her back out there in the farm for a
week or two, shoe hungry sis.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It's just that Frisco.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
It's causing all the trouble, trying to turn her head.
As far as I can see, all he's doing is
treating her with a little respect.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
It's a matter of opinion, Marshall. Ye, the law's got
no more dealings with me.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
All they getting on.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
No dealing speck not right now anyway.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Good that fellow was born under a bad star as
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, you may be Rightchester.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
He lives mad and he's gonna die mad. You just wait.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's about all I can do with Chester, you know, Man,
(16:08):
the best time of day is at night.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I always look forward to it.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I hope I saw it that.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
One, because after dark, this flee bit town doesn't look
sodd and ugly.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That's why I see.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
If the man puts his mind to it, he can
even imagine someplace else.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Saves to me.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
If a man really wanted to, he could pull up
stakes and beat someplace else.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
A couple of years out on this blasted prairie leaves
a man uncivilized for the rest of his life.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Dark, you were born uncivilized.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Oh, In medical school I was regarded as a lad
of culture.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I mean, if I'm a medical school I always thought
you had veterinary training.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Would have been better off ahead.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
There's more animals around hiding people, and that's not counting
the people.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
That are animals are just the same as anyone.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh, they're improving a little bit here, but you're.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Oh, yeah, sure, they're improving they're all for themselves, and
the devil take the hindmost.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
That's what human nature doesn't change. Man, that's what Chester thinks.
Since she was started him reading the Shakespeare.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
They won't do him anyhow.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
The conduct it's over the back of the dodge house,
I think he said, civilized, sure, yeah, improving people shooting
the head at all the time and bullets flying around
this way.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Nobody's dying in their beds.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Oh, yes, it's.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Over somebody far through the wind in.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The Bisco Bay room.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
They must have been hiding out here in the dark somewhere.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
All right, Come on, we can get them through the
back door.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yes well, yes, sat back ways had away from the door.
What do you all right?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Going to doctor Jesse? O?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Good?
Speaker 7 (18:04):
It's the first room, mister don racket corner from mister
Dylan with good lord man.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, all right, take over with your doc. I got
some dealings with him. Man. I don't hear nobody inside me.
(18:50):
I don't want way to find out. All right, hold
that buck.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
All right, Marshall, I thought I heard somebody.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Now you didn't been done some shooting? Huh. Oh, I
was just cleaning my gun sitting on Marshal I'll clear
this stuff off. It tell my mind. But if I
have a look at that trystal, What fuck? There have
been three shots fired here?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Oh yeah, I forgot there was a cayo botting around.
There's more of a.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Three shots fired and taunted and I back of the dodge,
US and so and a half a dozen people.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
So you're running the way from there right afterwards. But why,
I ain't been out of the house since dark?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And somebody's been riding one of your horses pretty hard
and still lathered. Don't say way I figured it. Bucky
waited outside Frisco's wonderful. You saw the lamplitting a shadow
on the blind. Then you fired through the window and
around for your horse about the way it was, yeah,
(19:58):
just about, and you're under a restroom.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
It will nothing come of it, Marshall. Want a man's
wife's being bothered. There's an unwritten call.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
There's no quote about killing from ambush.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
We had it coming to him. Jury will see it
that way. He was trying to get her to run
away with him. Everybody in town knew about it.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I didn't know she'd made up or might not to
do it. What do you mean she told kitdy tonight,
and she went over to tell Frisco, but he wasn't.
Then the clerk of the dodge house over the keta
Frisco's room, so she could go back and wait for him.
You're saying, Marshall, there's Ramsey who let that lamp to night.
It was her shadow on the blind. Yeah, and that's right, book,
(20:35):
she's dead, and jury's don't have much sympathy for men
who kill women. You're gonna hang Buck just as sure
as shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
How well do you know the history of your Marine corps?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
For example, did you know that the Marines were the
first American troops to be decorated with a Forager, one
of France's highest decorations of honor. In June nineteen eighteen,
the German Army was in possession of Bello Wood, a
highly strategic point on the way to Paris, and unless
the wood was secured by the Allies, Paris would soon fall.
(21:39):
Two regiments of the American Second Division, the fifth and
sixth Marines, were deployed to the south of bellow Wood
and ordered to drive.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
The German troops back.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Although greatly outnumbered, the Marines attacked again and again, and
within three weeks below Wood was secured for the Allies.
After Bellowwood, the Marines continued their valiant fight, and to
them the grateful French government awarded the Croud of Guere
with two palms in the Gold Star, and the first
American troops to be so honored the Forageier. Thus another
(22:13):
page was added to the history of your United States
Marine Corps.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Gunns were Houston, directed by Norman McDonald's starred William Conrad

Speaker 1 (01:01):
It's a chance, said job that does make some man watchful.
Had a little lone.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Lady, you know what, mister Dolan is pretty dark une
(01:35):
funny when you stop to think about it.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
What is Chester life? Is you been reading another book?
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Well, yes, right, I have it.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It's one doc lent me. It was wrote by some
fellow name Shakespeare. Did you ever hear him, mister Jne Shakespeare?
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Yes, me, pretty well.
Speaker 7 (01:54):

Speaker 6 (01:55):
I guess he died though quite a while back.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
According to Dart Oh yeah, yeah, so I understand he.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Don't use English too good.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
He's on them foreigners, so it makes it kind of
hard to follow him, you know. But I'll say one
thing mister doing here sure does call the turn on the.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Way people blacks. That's all right. The thing that was.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Going on over there in Europe and all in cities
in the olden days, I guess just the same.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
It's what modern folks are doing here in Dodge right now.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You don't say why they were.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Steaming and flotting that lions to one another just the
same as now. At least things aren't getting any worse.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Every time person turned around, somebody was killing somebody. Seemed
like hus swords and.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Nies mostly, and it appears they didn't have no guns
to speak us back.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Then stay out. That's your sword or that that's buck Weber. Mister,
yeah it's going.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
I'll show you if i'll come back here doing that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Hello, fucker, Oh I show that seems to be the trouble.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Trouble, mar show, no trouble at all.

If Sam none of us are thrown me out of
the long brand, which I'd call her trouble.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
He didn't have no cause to, I.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Think must have thought he did. Sam's a pretty fair man.
Order there.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I wasn't doing nothing, and she just wanted to see rancey

Speaker 1 (03:13):
What's she doing in there, she's working.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
What do you think a woman would be doing in there?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Your wife's working on the long branch. Three days ago
she took.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Some of her things and come into town. She says
she was leaving the farm. She was leaving me. Wouldn't
come back no more.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Oh fuck. You know how a woman is. She'll say
a lot of things when she's man not ranchy.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
She ain't like that, he minute marsh and I ain't
even to let her do it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'll give her some rope. She would cool off in
a few days.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Maybe, No was that she and a horn gamble or
hang around her?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
She won't.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I'm going back there and kill that.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
No good.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Wait a minute, fucking wait a minute now. Sam told
you to stay out and from the ship here, and
I think maybe he's right.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Too many in the shape, I mean, oh.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You had a little too much to drink. I think
I'm all less. I could walk.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Huh, I want to walk take his other rochester. I
want to go back there and talk to your right.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm on, I'm on it.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
We'll keep you'll keep all right. It's just like talking
gambler hang around filling her full of lies.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Watch gambler know what do you mean, I have frisk
gold Baits. You've been there every night since she started talking.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Soft to him, trying to give her doubts about her
rightful place in.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The world, as she must have had a few dots already, Bucker,
she wouldn't have left.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
You hang out the wait sears would have fris gold baits.
Everybody laughing at me time going back, were killing waiting?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh you're not, No, you're not. Come on, that's it, that's.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
It, full time talking behind my back.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I'll a funeral. Wouldn't give him any less to talk about.
You know, I'm taking me in jail, Marshall, just for tonight.
But tell the way to keep you out of trouble?
What side are you on anyhow?
Speaker 8 (05:10):
Nine of that?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
No good gamblers?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Maybe neither one. But there's another side to it, loose
your wife's Do you think you should leave politics.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
To the politicians?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Well, I'm sure some politicians would like this.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
But tell me, are you the sort of guy who
thinks taxes are too high?
Speaker 9 (05:45):
Do you like the way your city is kept up?
You think there should be more parks, perhaps a lot
more sandlots for baseball or football? You say you do
or don't like the foreign aid program. Well, our government
was designed to give you a voice. It'd be surprised
at how influential a letter or a wire is to
your congressman or senator. You should protect your right to
(06:08):
be heard by voting. As the Athenian Pericles said, we
do not say that a man who takes no interest
in politics.
Speaker 10 (06:18):
Minds his own business. We say he has no business
here at all. Unquote, take an interest in politics. It
is your business. This is one definition in our dictionary
of freedom.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Good to see him, man, I love Kenny.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Thought you might be going to pass us up this evening.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That's hard to break the habit, Kitty, Yeah, I understand, Ryan, say,
Weber's working.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Here now, that's right, Matt. She started three nights ago. Ah,
she wrong, She'll be back in a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Right now, she's trying.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
Oh her husband came in drunk and mad a while
ago and started abusing me.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I know, I just locked him up for the night.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I'm glad you did, math Buck, Webber could be real
mean if he got started.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm pretty's already started. Kitty. Uh, how about this Frisco Bates?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So that's it.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
I told Ramsey to talk to get around anything to it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I don't think so, not really. The Buck's got the
idea there is.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Well, he's a touchy one, Matt. He's awful hard to figure.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
I hated to see Rancy start here, but she told
me she'd left him, and she didn't have a scent
to her name. I thought she might be better off
here than some of the other places.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
At least I can sort of look after.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Oh, good evening, Marshall.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Are you Ramsey, If you too, will excuse me, I
better look after a couple of things.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
I guess you're probably kind of surprised to find me
working in a place I wo oh.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
No, I've already heard about it. I saw your husband
a little while ago. Oh you were sure you know what.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You're doing, Rancy.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I'm sure, Marshall. That's an easy life to get into,
but it's rough to get out of.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
So's fun and.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I'm afraid Buck's going to cause you trouble.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
He's caused me trouble for seven years? Is that so?
Seven years?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Dredrike make a woman a slave and worker to death?
Never a decent word. You know, some of the easy
ways work out hard to Rancy.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I take my chances.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But Buck might as won't get it to his head
right now.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I'm not going back, not ever.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I got a bucks donna say it that way?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
He has to? And what can he do about it?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
How they could try to harm you? Maybe in someway
I let him. It won't be the first time.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
There's nothing Buck, life's better than hitting a woman. That's
maybe it's a young one.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Well, right now he seems to want to hit a
fellow name Frisco Bass.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Mister Bates is he's just been kind to me. That's wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
And men like him are new to you, Rancy. They
that can cause a lot of trouble sometimes just by
being kind.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I'm not a bad woman, Marshall, at least I don't
think I am.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Oh, I ask, is this little little kindness.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
In the well the reason to laugh once?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
You know? While?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Is that too much not to ask?
Speaker 10 (10:14):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Sometimes a little too much to expect? Are you going
to monopolization? Lady?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Are leaving?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Marshalltow Oh? How are you first go? Rad see? You
better go see what it was? As a kiddie wanted
huh what oh, all right, Marshall, you excuse me, mister
b certainly.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
Is this the policy of the law in Dodd City Marshall,
interfering in people's personal affairs.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Sometimes, Yeah, at least when our personal affairs seem to
be heading toward to kill him? Who you mean Ranchay's husband,
I suppose, and he came around looking for you with
adn't he the way he's been treating her? I may
go looking for him.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Why her frisco her other woman around her? And I
like Rancy. She's out of place here, she's not to
kind of be working here, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
It may she won't be long.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I've asked Rancy to go away with me, Marshall, I've
asked her to marry me. That surprised me a little bit. Yeah,
that surprised me too, But that's the way it is.
R agreed to her. Not yet, but she will. Buck
Webber won't have a thing to say about it, he wanna.
(11:37):
I wouldn't count on that if I were you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Many a child has been warned by his power and
said if he digs too deep a hole in the
flower bed, he's liable to fall through to China. Well,
apparently this little tail had its origin in our American
folklore many years ago, and it all started when Captain
Wentworth bumped into the Great Sam Patch in the middle
of the China Seas. The captain said, why Sam, how did.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
You get here?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I thought you were drowned near the Canadian border. Sam replied,
I didn't get here, and all I don't right through
in let the Niagara dive. I went so deep I
thought it was just as short to come up till
the side, so I came out here in the China Seas.
Now you just turn your ship around and I'll race
(12:44):
you back to Boston. And if I don't beat you,
then my name's not Sam. Patch folklore belongs to every
nation's legendary past, and I guess we Americans have our
share of some tall tails.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Warned Buck.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Marshall, just leave, all right, horrible, and I hope you
slept off some of those crazy notions you had last night.
Maybe all right, come on out. I got your belongings
out here in the office, but there's no charge against you.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You're free to leave. IM glad to hear that, and
you may starts there on the table.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Thanks. I get my gun back.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Chess Her I'll get it there are, But what are
your plans where I don't can better ride back at home,
take care of the chores. Stocks used to be in
fed a couple hours earlier. And that's not what I meant.
(14:28):
But what about Ryancy?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I ain't right.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
We made up my mind yet, Marshall, leave her alone?
Will you give her a chance to use her own judgment?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Doesn't seem like she's got much of that, and the
folks she's took up with the last few days of
her own business.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
She's a grown woman.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
She's a married woman too. She had not to be
carrying on the way.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
She hasn't done anything wrong.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
I ain't saying she is.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I did nothing against Rancy.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Any woman's liable to get out of hand once in
a while and start thinking, fancy I.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Got her back out there in the farm for a
week or two, shoe hungry sis.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It's just that Frisco.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
It's causing all the trouble, trying to turn her head.
As far as I can see, all he's doing is
treating her with a little respect.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
It's a matter of opinion, Marshall. Ye, the law's got
no more dealings with me.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
All they getting on.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
No dealing speck not right now anyway.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Good that fellow was born under a bad star as
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, you may be Rightchester.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
He lives mad and he's gonna die mad. You just wait.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's about all I can do with Chester, you know, Man,
(16:08):
the best time of day is at night.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I always look forward to it.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I hope I saw it that.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
One, because after dark, this flee bit town doesn't look
sodd and ugly.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That's why I see.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
If the man puts his mind to it, he can
even imagine someplace else.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Saves to me.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
If a man really wanted to, he could pull up
stakes and beat someplace else.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
A couple of years out on this blasted prairie leaves
a man uncivilized for the rest of his life.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Dark, you were born uncivilized.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Oh, In medical school I was regarded as a lad
of culture.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I mean, if I'm a medical school I always thought
you had veterinary training.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Would have been better off ahead.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
There's more animals around hiding people, and that's not counting
the people.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
That are animals are just the same as anyone.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh, they're improving a little bit here, but you're.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Oh, yeah, sure, they're improving they're all for themselves, and
the devil take the hindmost.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
That's what human nature doesn't change. Man, that's what Chester thinks.
Since she was started him reading the Shakespeare.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
They won't do him anyhow.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
The conduct it's over the back of the dodge house,
I think he said, civilized, sure, yeah, improving people shooting
the head at all the time and bullets flying around
this way.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Nobody's dying in their beds.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Oh, yes, it's.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Over somebody far through the wind in.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The Bisco Bay room.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
They must have been hiding out here in the dark somewhere.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
All right, Come on, we can get them through the
back door.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yes well, yes, sat back ways had away from the door.
What do you all right?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Going to doctor Jesse? O?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Good?
Speaker 7 (18:04):
It's the first room, mister don racket corner from mister
Dylan with good lord man.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, all right, take over with your doc. I got
some dealings with him. Man. I don't hear nobody inside me.
(18:50):
I don't want way to find out. All right, hold
that buck.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
All right, Marshall, I thought I heard somebody.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Now you didn't been done some shooting? Huh. Oh, I
was just cleaning my gun sitting on Marshal I'll clear
this stuff off. It tell my mind. But if I
have a look at that trystal, What fuck? There have
been three shots fired here?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Oh yeah, I forgot there was a cayo botting around.
There's more of a.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Three shots fired and taunted and I back of the dodge,
US and so and a half a dozen people.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
So you're running the way from there right afterwards. But why,
I ain't been out of the house since dark?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And somebody's been riding one of your horses pretty hard
and still lathered. Don't say way I figured it. Bucky
waited outside Frisco's wonderful. You saw the lamplitting a shadow
on the blind. Then you fired through the window and
around for your horse about the way it was, yeah,
(19:58):
just about, and you're under a restroom.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
It will nothing come of it, Marshall. Want a man's
wife's being bothered. There's an unwritten call.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
There's no quote about killing from ambush.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
We had it coming to him. Jury will see it
that way. He was trying to get her to run
away with him. Everybody in town knew about it.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I didn't know she'd made up or might not to
do it. What do you mean she told kitdy tonight,
and she went over to tell Frisco, but he wasn't.
Then the clerk of the dodge house over the keta
Frisco's room, so she could go back and wait for him.
You're saying, Marshall, there's Ramsey who let that lamp to night.
It was her shadow on the blind. Yeah, and that's right, book,
(20:35):
she's dead, and jury's don't have much sympathy for men
who kill women. You're gonna hang Buck just as sure
as shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
How well do you know the history of your Marine corps?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
For example, did you know that the Marines were the
first American troops to be decorated with a Forager, one
of France's highest decorations of honor. In June nineteen eighteen,
the German Army was in possession of Bello Wood, a
highly strategic point on the way to Paris, and unless
the wood was secured by the Allies, Paris would soon fall.
(21:39):
Two regiments of the American Second Division, the fifth and
sixth Marines, were deployed to the south of bellow Wood
and ordered to drive.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
The German troops back.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Although greatly outnumbered, the Marines attacked again and again, and
within three weeks below Wood was secured for the Allies.
After Bellowwood, the Marines continued their valiant fight, and to
them the grateful French government awarded the Croud of Guere
with two palms in the Gold Star, and the first
American troops to be so honored the Forageier. Thus another
(22:13):
page was added to the history of your United States
Marine Corps.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Gunns were Houston, directed by Norman McDonald's starred William Conrad

Harley Bear as Tester, Howard mcneher as Doc, and Georgia
