here that's different.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
What do you mean, well, dealing looks like a gunman
to me.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
And if there's one thing Joe FI won't stand for
around here, it's a gunman. Yes, sir, he's gonna run
dealing out of town. First time he died on him.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know, Miss John. I don't like your cater no
better than I did on your.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
First road in let's know, San Francisco, that's for sure. Afternoon, gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Hello, I don't believe I've seen you men in l
Cada before. I've never been here before. That's probably the
reason staying a long.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh yeah, I hadn't thought about it one where there?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
You know who I am, Marshall, Fire isn't it. I
don't like gunman here.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I ain't no gunman.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I was thinking more of your friend than you. You
move in pretty fast, Marshall. I mean business, gentlemen. You
make trouble here, I'll kill.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Both of you.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
What many a man has died who was a little slow.
Believe in me, mister, you've killed a lot of men. Huh,
everyone that's ever crossed me?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
How many sids?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
No, I don't keep count.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
It don't matter. No, I don't guess it does.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
There's a fellow looking for pleasure.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, sure is. No, I won't tolerate that. You're gonna
stop him if I have to kill him?
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Oh, now, look, you can't do that quite a minute
of chester. They must be friends of his. They're sure
shutting him.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Up, and they told him. You see, they're pointing over
here at me. The man didn't know. He hasn't been
to town since I took over.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
He sure he had calm down fast enough. There he
goes miles of milk. He should thank those men for that.
They just saved his life. That's a pretty tight town.
You keep fighting, and don't you forget it, either of you?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Good? They well, Oh a blued.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Up, mean hog headed men.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I already did so.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I don't know whether it's his being smarter everybody else
around here being stupid, but it's sure working. You mean,
he's got him all buffaloed and he hasn't had to
fight once. Did you see how he handled that cowboy.
He let those other men do his work for him,
and with us. He waited till he was sure that
we knew about his reputation before he got tough.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
You mean you don't think he's a gunman at tall?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't know what he is Chester, but I got
an idea how I might find on how I'll show
you and if I can take care of Joe fire,
and all I'll have to do is sit here and
wait for Carrie Post to ride back into town. The
(08:27):
first thing I did was to go to the general
store and buy an old navy pistol and a worn
out old stern.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
A cartridge belt.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And from there we went back to the Alamo Saloon
and spent the next two hours talking to Cicerold Grimes.
This time I told him where I was, and after
I explained the whole deal to him a couple of times, he.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Seemed willing to sit in.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Here's only one thing I don't like about Marshall Dillon.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
What's uh hood?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
And you get you wrong? Boding you if I here's
something of a gunman? After all, I ain't got no
bullet in my gun.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Or don't you worry about that? Cicero. I'll be right there.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Well, it's careful go wrong, and if you don't, I'll
get shot.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That's a chance.

don't have to do it if you don't want.
Speaker 6 (09:09):

this job?
Speaker 2 (09:36):

Speaker 3 (09:39):
You're the only man in town that's least expected to
stand up to Joe five.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You've never even worn a gun.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Before, now, sure, ain't. I don't believe in gunsha, But.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
He said he'd wait till somebody shoots Joe Fire and

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Thus Joe Fire must be quite a gun with himself.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Oh, none better, I mean the man in the whole country,
and to stand up to him.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
So yeah, I've been here two weeks. Nobody's faced him yet.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Oh if nobody ain't faced him, how do you know
that he's such a gunman?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
You can find out chester when you see him.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It don't make no sense to me.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
What's his game, sister? Why does he want to run?

States Marshall in this whole territory.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
And he's standing right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
At Chester where we'll find out what's going on here.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So that's sair madtime. Don't worry about Joe. Pie is
not for you.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
No, he won't buy you know, on Chester, But dealing
here that's different.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
What do you mean, well, dealing looks like a gunman
to me.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
And if there's one thing Joe FI won't stand for
around here, it's a gunman. Yes, sir, he's gonna run
dealing out of town. First time he died on him.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know, Miss John. I don't like your cater no
better than I did on your.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
First road in let's know, San Francisco, that's for sure. Afternoon, gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Hello, I don't believe I've seen you men in l
Cada before. I've never been here before. That's probably the
reason staying a long.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh yeah, I hadn't thought about it one where there?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
You know who I am, Marshall, Fire isn't it. I
don't like gunman here.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I ain't no gunman.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I was thinking more of your friend than you. You
move in pretty fast, Marshall. I mean business, gentlemen. You
make trouble here, I'll kill.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Both of you.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
What many a man has died who was a little slow.
Believe in me, mister, you've killed a lot of men. Huh,
everyone that's ever crossed me?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
How many sids?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
No, I don't keep count.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
It don't matter. No, I don't guess it does.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
There's a fellow looking for pleasure.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, sure is. No, I won't tolerate that. You're gonna
stop him if I have to kill him?
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Oh, now, look, you can't do that quite a minute
of chester. They must be friends of his. They're sure
shutting him.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Up, and they told him. You see, they're pointing over
here at me. The man didn't know. He hasn't been
to town since I took over.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
He sure he had calm down fast enough. There he
goes miles of milk. He should thank those men for that.
They just saved his life. That's a pretty tight town.
You keep fighting, and don't you forget it, either of you?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Good? They well, Oh a blued.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Up, mean hog headed men.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I already did so.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I don't know whether it's his being smarter everybody else
around here being stupid, but it's sure working. You mean,
he's got him all buffaloed and he hasn't had to
fight once. Did you see how he handled that cowboy.
He let those other men do his work for him,
and with us. He waited till he was sure that
we knew about his reputation before he got tough.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
You mean you don't think he's a gunman at tall?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't know what he is Chester, but I got
an idea how I might find on how I'll show
you and if I can take care of Joe fire,
and all I'll have to do is sit here and
wait for Carrie Post to ride back into town. The
(08:27):
first thing I did was to go to the general
store and buy an old navy pistol and a worn
out old stern.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
A cartridge belt.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And from there we went back to the Alamo Saloon
and spent the next two hours talking to Cicerold Grimes.
This time I told him where I was, and after
I explained the whole deal to him a couple of times, he.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Seemed willing to sit in.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Here's only one thing I don't like about Marshall Dillon.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
What's uh hood?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
And you get you wrong? Boding you if I here's
something of a gunman? After all, I ain't got no
bullet in my gun.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Or don't you worry about that? Cicero. I'll be right there.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Well, it's careful go wrong, and if you don't, I'll
get shot.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That's a chance.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
You're taking the help of lot of cyser Row. You
don't have to do it if you don't want.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Tob you get paid for taking cance in.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Marshall. I don't, No, you don't. But there's one thing.
It'll be a kind of a hero.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Say, we'll want to I'm sure, and everybody will be
buying you drinks from here on our cysrol.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
But you will be famous, like like George Washington.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
And all in Falling.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Yeah, say that's getting paid kind of needed. Why sure
it is, Tay Marshall. How come you picked me for
this job?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
There get lopapallers could help the out. No, no, they're not.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You're the only man in town that's least expected to
stand up to Joe five.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You've never even worn a gun.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Before, now, sure, ain't. I don't believe in gunsha, But.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Don't you see cyser Row. This way, we're really gonna
show him up.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Yeah, Sharon gets You're right Marshall, and I sure hope
nothing bad happens.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I promise you'll to everything.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I can Cicero, but anothera like something can always go wrong.
I uh, I won't try to fool you about that,
and you knew.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
That's what I like about you, Marshall. You don't try
to hide anything from me.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You all set? Then?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:10):
I guess so.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I mean, I'm sure feel funny. And they share a
gun on my hip where.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You find just broke even if it ain't loaded.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Mount let's get it going alright, Cicero. You get out
in the middle of the street now and.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
He's quite a fellow.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Aim is doing? Yeah, sure is. I hope I'm right
about this. I'd hate to see him get hurt or killed. Okay,
you got up out of that alley and do his
shooting for him. Chester, then you come on back before
anybody sees you see.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Get me bye, go bye, Come on out and play, Marshall.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Come on, where are if I come on?

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Joe Fie is coming still right across street?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Yeah, all right, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
It's the matter with you, siss or Row.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
It ain't nothing the matter with.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Me, Marshall.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Pie what you're doing with that gun?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I take it off.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
You didn't know about me, did you.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
I'm a deadly gunman.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
You must be drunk talking like that.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
It'd be better for you if I was drunk.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
But I ain't.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
I always do my gun fighting plumb.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Shover you going crazy, I'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Shucking Joe Pye.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
The reason I spend so much time in the saloon
there to forget all about the men I killed. But
sometimes I can't forgot. And then I put my gun
on go out, and I killed me another one.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh, sister, I ain't making much sense, mis don and

Maybe so does everybody sort of look up to me?
Or if you wanted to be a law man, why
didn't you go be one somewhere? Why don't you have
to come here and lie about it?

You don't understand it. I couldn't be a law man,
not a real one. Why not? Well you saw what
happened with Cicero Grimes. I'm a coward, mister, That's what
I am. Coward.
Speaker 8 (14:50):

not for long. That take somebody with somebody like you,
maybe you could be a marshall.
Speaker 2 (15:04):

came here and told everybody you were the law was.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Just a kind of a game you were playing, sort
