Luke Slaughter of Tombstone debuted on February 23, 1958 and, sadly, only ran for a total of 16 episodes. Sam Buffington played Luke Slaughter, a Civil War cavalry officer, turned cattle rancher, in post-Civil War Arizona Territory near Fort Huachuca and the town of Tombstone, not far from the U.S. southern border. This was a well-received program but was cut short due to the pressure of television at the time. At the beginning of each show we hear "Slaughter's my name, Luke Slaughter. Cattle's my business. It's a tough business, it's a big business. I got a big stake in it. And there's no man west of the Rio Grande big enough to take it away from me."

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Slaughter's my name, Luke Slaughter. Cattle's my business. It's a
tough business, it's big business. I've got a big stake
in it. And there's no man west of the Rio
Grand big enough to take it from me.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Civil War
cavalryman turned Arizona cattleman. Across the territory, from Yuma to
(00:52):
Fort Defiance, from Flagstaff to the Watchukas, and below the
border through Chihuahua and Sonora. His name was respected or feared,
depending on which side of the law you were on.
Man of vision, man of legend, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
This special meeting of the Cattleman's Association of Tombstone is
now in order.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And I guess it's in order for me to ask
quite so special about it, to take up my time
when I'm getting the herd ready for shipment. That's a
fair question, Slaughter. Now it's just a minute. I'm not finished.
Oh go on, mister Canfield. How can you hold a
meeting special or not when you haven't got a quorum.
There's only you and Bigelow here. That's no quorum. It's enough.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Well, slaughter, this is a very special meeting. We kept
it small on the cort of you.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Me.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yes, you are the reason for this meeting.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I got to ask you to elucidate that mister Canfield
can't feel me. I have the floor. I'd like to
do the elucidating.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And of course, mister Biglow, I agree that the accused
has the right to know the charges against him accused,
so I think it only.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Fair that you know right off.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
This special meeting has been called to give you a
private opportunity to answer to the charge of horse stealing
and cattle rustling.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Who says I'm a cattle wrestler and horse thief? I
do you stand up, mister and Dickie or Iron.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No, no, no, boys, let's not add injury to insult.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
We want to get to.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The bottom of this slaughter, so do I and I
aim to. No man accuses me without proof, and there
isn't any proof.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm afraid there is slaughter, meaning meaning somebody's been stealing
horses from around Tombstone, running them across the border and
selling them in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I know I lost a couple of three ponies out
of my string. Oh I bet.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You no, No, mister Biggilow. Now let me handle this.
This appears to be a two way wrestling deal, Slaughter,
because this someone's been stealing cattle in Mexico and from
around here too, and sell them in Bisbee and Phoenix and.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Press all this time.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
You were stupid, Slaughter. You stole some of my cattle,
and you had the brass to turn around sell them
to can feel long with that last herd you drove
up from.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Mexico, Biggelow, I'm telling you again, you better back that
up with steel.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Afraid we've got proof it's you, Slaughter.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
What proof?
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
That last herd I bought from you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I paid for them in Mexico with my own money.
I drove them all the way up here through some
pretty rough country and fattened them on the way. I
sold them to you for a fair profit.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, and about a dozen of them had Bigelow's brand
on him. What oh, we'd had been altered. But it
was a pretty clumsy job. Now what have you got
to say to that?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The only thing I can say, I didn't steal Bigelow's
cattle or anybody else's. That ain't good enough for me. Slaughter.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You're new here in these parts, slaughter, but people hereabouts
think pretty well of you.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Thanks, So we got a proposition to make to you. Proposition.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yes, you pay Bigelow for his cattle, and we'll just
forget the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And if I don't, well.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Us no choice but to turn you over to the sheriff.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, slaughter, what shall it be? Neither reach both of you?
I'll just leave you, gens of your gun.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You're putting yourself outside the low slaughter.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, you're putting me there.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
We'll get up a posse, slaughter. We'll come after you.
You do that, and we'll get you sooner.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Or later that I doubt. Thanks for the guns, gents,
of course, I'm not taking them permanently anymore than I
take horses or cattle. You'll find them in the water
and trough across the street. If you take my advice,
don't come looking for him until I've ridden out of town.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Harry, Luke, what do you kiss along in town?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Plenty?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Well, I'm ready to move these cruise over Tucson in
time you are.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Luke, I'll have to wait, whichita, how long will it
take you to get together your gear and chow for
three days and saddle up.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Oh half hour.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
If I was rushed, you're rushed. Make it twenty minutes.
There's a posse less than a half hour behind us. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
If we're figuring on getting any further you shot of
these horses, we'd better give them a resh.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, I know which you tell. That's why we're headed
for the river.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Oh, figuring on throwing the party off the trail by riding.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
On a little uh stream.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
That's right. We'll come out on that lava outcropping down
at jack Rabbit Fatles. Then we'll see whether they can
pick up our trail. If you had to ask me,
I didn't wit.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Well, I know, but if you had, it's just what
I would have gone.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's just what I figured. Oh boy, saw down it?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Oh oo, come on there, you honer a critter?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
No time stopped for a drink?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Now they got that much time? Wichit? Let him wait
his whistle?
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Oh good. I don't know, Luke, I just can't get
over it. But you ain't like you to take this
line down.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well, I'm not exactly lying down.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
No, you're a high tail in it, which is worse.
And I always thought you had more guts than you
could hang.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
On a fence.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
There's the time to fight and the time to run, Wichita,
and this isn't the time to fight. Come on, I
tell her that's enough, gusling. Come on.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
If i's you, I'd have blown the heads off them too,
slander and shot that.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Let me prove I could outdraw them. They wouldn't disprove
their charges.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Well, you ain't going to disprove them by running away.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I hope, I am Wichita. Ah, I don't know yet
that it's a nice day for a horseback ride, isn't it.
Let's give these fellows a little rest.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
I could use a little myself.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
That lava field ain't the easiest thing to pick your
way through for man or beast.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You'll let him graze a while behind these rocks.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Let's you go up and peek over the rim. Maybe
we can see our pursuers.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
All right, get down, now, pick up your hat.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I'm sure I want.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
To make a silhouette against the sky.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
A mighty pretty view of a valley from here.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
What's so funny?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
You look out there up river?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
About a mile there they are, Yeah, fanning all over
the desert, riding back and forth and up and down
the river.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
They'll never pick up a trail.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
We shook them for fair. What are we going to
do now?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Sit shit here? That's right? Why see what happens next?
We've made our play. The next plays up to somebody else.
That's what we're sitting here to find out.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Ain't we sat here long enough? Luke?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That quite wichitown.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Shet here all day yesterday, shet here all night, freeze
in the deaths out of fire.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I told you I didn't want anybody to know we
were here.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Who's to know that partially faded back tombstone four sundown yesterday, Wigeta.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Didn't you ever learn that patience is a virtue.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
I would never know as a very virtuous.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Man, and that virtue is its own reward.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Luke sermonizing me, ain't gonna get you nowhere.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I don't mean to play skypilot wichitawn. But if you
look over there, over there to the east, a cloudy dust,
I think that may be why we've been sitting here.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Just a small string of horses six eight, maybe a
couple of hands hurting.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Them inside, hurting himself across the border.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Maybe you think there's stolen horses.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I'd bet on it.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
How come you're so certain?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, now, if you were running this wrestling and you'd accused.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
Me, why I'd never do that loop?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, But just supposing and I skipped time, Now, wouldn't
you take advantage of that fact to wrestle some more
horses and make it look like I'd done it? For certain?
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Well? Sure, sure, I would look here if I was
a wrestler.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
For trained Now, I think we can both be pretty
sure that we aren't the wrestlers.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I reconcile. But if we ain't, then them waters down
there are are soul. Let's go get him.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
No, why not?
Speaker 7 (09:50):
If you're theorizing is correct, they're guilty as soon.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, but they're probably just trail hands. I want to
know who the boss is.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
How are you gonna find out? Right down there?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Which is all? We're gonna trail them. Let's hit the
leathern We trailed them south across the border and into Mexico,
keeping well out of sight. By dark on the second day,
they'd reached the little town of Dela Rosa. We watched
(10:23):
the two of them, heard the horses into a corral
on the outskirts of town, then paralleled them along a
back street. As they headed for the cantina. We edged
up to the door, keeping in the shadows. Fifteen minutes
later they came out and started across the street.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
It looks like that roomenhouse over there. They're heading for loop.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah you recognize them.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Nope, never seen either of them before.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
We're going to follow them right now. We know where
they are. I'm more interested in seeing who they've been
talking to in the cantina. Come on your eyes open
on your hand near your holster, saying, honese those the killers,
he singor what'd you die? Over there at that table?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Who is she do?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Mingas a bandido? Smart and tough.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
You think he's the one.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I think we better have a talk with him. Hello Domingas,
when us not just senior slaughter? Matter? If we sit around?
You should not have come here, senior slaughter. Why not
we're just drifting through.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Oh no, you're not just drifting through, sing your slaughter.
You will run out of tombstone because they thought you
were stealing horses and.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Carol, you've got big ears, do Mingas? See? These big
ears are very valuable to me at times.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
I think you follow those horses here to find out
who's behind.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
This, Dominga's let's play it your way. But I don't
think you're the boss at this operation. I think you're
just receiving the stolen horses at this end of the line,
and that's your business, not mine. I want to know
who's behind this up Tombstone way. I have no information
for you. No, it might be a good idea for
(12:20):
you if you did have.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
You're in no position to make threats. I'm holding a
gun on you under the table.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Easy, Wichita. Yeah, I think it's your were Domingas. What's
your play?
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Trell be no play, Senor Slaughter. I'm leaving now, and
you will not follow me.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's a matter of opinion if you do, Senor Slaughter.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Yeah, when you walk through this door, you're going to
be shut.
Speaker 2 (13:04):

(14:00):
Robeson's production of Luke Slaughter of Tombstone.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
What are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Luke go out that door? I reckon, But you heard.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
What Dominga said. We'll get dry golds we step outside.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Maybe now's as good a time as any to find out.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
He's in the dark out there, we'd be setting ducks
against the light.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
That's why we're gonna have a little less light in here.
Get us. Thus, stay where you are and nobody will
get hurt. I figure it's just as dark and here
as it is out there. Now come on with your town,
(14:52):
all right. When I give the word, we'll go through
this door fast, flattening yourself against the wall on the left.
I'll be on the right. Ready, Yeah, Now you are right,
Wicha Yeah, he missed. Came from over near that horse trough.
Don't shoot till you see what you're shooting at.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
I see him, Eh, Piers, you got him.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Stay low, let's go take a look.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
You think it's Dominga's I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
He's too smart to leave cover like that. Here he is, it's.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
One of the wrestlers. You plugged him, dead cutter.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Do Minga's probably cleared out. I know him. He won't
ever call unless he's sure he's got a winning hand.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Well, maybe he's wait listen, sounds.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Like somebody is real anxious to get out of here
in a hurry. Dominga is more likely it's the other
wrestler heading north toward Tombstone, And if that is, we've
got to catch him before he gets there and make
him talk.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Come on, Luke, we ain't been much on him all night.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I know I was hoping we could head him off
before he crossed the border.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Yeah, well, how far are you figure?
Speaker 6 (16:19):
We are on a tube.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Sholder, five six hours, starting to get light.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
We got one chance of nailing him. He swinging to
the left around this ridge. We're going over the top, Luke.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
If he's got by ahead of us, were licked. You
gotta climb over the ridge like to kill these horses.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I don't think he has got by us. Which it? Oh,
here's the trail, there's no fresh tracks on it.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Yeah, I hear him coming.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Uke. We're around the bend from him. He won't see
us until he's right on top of us.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
You're gonna rope him.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I'm gonna try to. I want him alive.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
Here he comes, hey, Yeah, I got him?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
All right? Hold it?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Had you had you cut me off?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Doesn't matter. Now? What's your name? Ben Faraday? All right, Saturday?
Who are you working for? No body? Don't give me that.
Who's your boss? Come on? Start talking?
Speaker 6 (17:32):
I don't know what you.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Get down. What you're talking.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Came from up on the ridge.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
You see anything?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah? A piece of a Mexican sombrero up there for
a minute, Dominga's, and I got.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
A hand it to him for being a good shot.
Faraday's dead as a.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Door near you.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, you can't do any talking now, that's a cinch.
Come on, keep blow behind these rocks, keep that head
of yours down. He'll get it blown.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
It appears to be a lot of cover for him
up there.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, once we get over this shoulder, I can see
the top of the ridge. Easy, now, I'll go first.
You see anything, No, it looks like there he is.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
A toppy's horse and heading for the border.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Sure he isn't interested in us anymore. That Faraday is
dead and can't tell us who the boss is.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Maybe des Domingus, that's likely.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
This operation's too big for a tim horned Bandito. It's
gotta be somebody at the north end of the line,
probably somebody runt in Tombstone.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Well with Faraday and that other rustler both dead. Looks
like we don't have much chance to find out who
it is.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Come on now, Wichita, don't throw in your hand till
you've used up all the aces in your sleeve. Meaning
see that hollow down there in the rocks there Faraday's body. Eh,
what about I'm gonna rig up a little camp there
for Faraday and me.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
You're gonna set up camp is a dead man.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's right, and you wit your ta You're going riding
what you.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Think I've been doing for the last twelve.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Hours, and you get some more riding ahead of you.
I want you to ride into Tombstone and tell him
we caught Faraday. Tell him he's wounded and unconscious. Tell
him to send the doctor because as soon as he
comes to we're gonna find out who the wrestler boss
really is.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
You figure Faraday's boss or come a runner to keep
him from talking.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's my gamble.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
It's a pretty local scheme.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
If you ask me, I didn't, but I'll ask you this.
You got a better one. No, then hit the letter
for Tombstone, get that story around town, and then get
back here as soon as you can. Who's that? Who's
(19:55):
out there?
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Who dead?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Gun away? Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Yes, I I bet I got more saddle sores than
this horse has to get the word around.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I would you talk to well Ezra Canfield for one else?
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Or Big Blow happened to be in town. I saw
to it that.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
He heard a lot more what they say.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Well, they said they hoped Verdy could clear you, and
they tried to sober.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Up Doc eating and get him out here. Somebody went
to find them, Big Law. I think it was.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You tell them exactly where our camp is located.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, Luke, you figure it might be either of them,
two Canfield or Big Glow could be.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
On the other hand, it could be anybody or maybe
our message didn't even get to the right man anyway.
You look at it, Whiche, It's only one thing we
can do. Now, let's wait.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
It sure gets cold on your night.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
I'm gonna put another piece of mesquit on the fire.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Leave it be with you, But I'm free from Luke.
Just leave the embers like they are. You don't want
to light yourself up for a target, do you.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Oh? You know that you mentioned.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
What time.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You figure it's getting to be past midnight, But the
looks of the stars.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
Nobody's going to be looking for us this time.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And nice maybe maybe not, Luke.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
You realize it. This is the third night running that
I haven't had any sleep. To speak out.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And get some I'll stand watch, but I can't.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Sleep, Luke, I'm too dang cool.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to turn you
out to pasture with your town. You're getting too old
and crotchety for this kind of plane.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Now, now you s here, Luke, you're just as sleepy
and just as cold as.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
I am, only you won't admit it.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Quiet, looks like the party is about to start.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Quiet, I can't. You are right, yeah, but I'm going
to need a new.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Stats serves your right for sneezeing.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Dark as a's of spades out there, I can't see your.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Thing thinking he he just shot at the sound. Keep
your eyes open. Now I'm gonna toss a rock to
one side. They can think I'm circling watch for his
gun flash. Here goes over there.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
I've got him.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Come on, he ish.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Why it's Homer big goal?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah? Big alone is he is?
Speaker 6 (22:59):
He head?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
No shoulder? He'll keep long enough to stand trial anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
If he hadn't fallen for your trap, if he'd have
known that Faraday was dead and couldn't talk, he'd still.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Be in the clear.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Ew. You know, they say what a man doesn't know
won't hurt him. That isn't true in Biggelow's case. But
he didn't know he's going to kill him. Luke.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Slaughter of Tombstone, starring Sam Buffington, was written by Robert
Stanley and adapted for radio and directed by William N.
Robeson editorial supervision by Tom Hanley. Supporting mister Buffington were
Louis Van Ruton, Lawrence Dobkin, Junius Matthews, and Don Diamond,
with music composed and conducted by Wilbur Hatch next week.
(24:08):
At this time we returned with slaughters.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The name Luke Slaughter. When we meet up again, you
can call me that, Luke Slaughter. This is the CBS
(24:39):
Radio Network.
Slaughter's my name, Luke Slaughter. Cattle's my business. It's a
tough business, it's big business. I've got a big stake
in it. And there's no man west of the Rio
Grand big enough to take it from me.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Civil War
cavalryman turned Arizona cattleman. Across the territory, from Yuma to
(00:52):
Fort Defiance, from Flagstaff to the Watchukas, and below the
border through Chihuahua and Sonora. His name was respected or feared,
depending on which side of the law you were on.
Man of vision, man of legend, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
This special meeting of the Cattleman's Association of Tombstone is
now in order.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And I guess it's in order for me to ask
quite so special about it, to take up my time
when I'm getting the herd ready for shipment. That's a
fair question, Slaughter. Now it's just a minute. I'm not finished.
Oh go on, mister Canfield. How can you hold a
meeting special or not when you haven't got a quorum.
There's only you and Bigelow here. That's no quorum. It's enough.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Well, slaughter, this is a very special meeting. We kept
it small on the cort of you.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Me.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yes, you are the reason for this meeting.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I got to ask you to elucidate that mister Canfield
can't feel me. I have the floor. I'd like to
do the elucidating.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And of course, mister Biglow, I agree that the accused
has the right to know the charges against him accused,
so I think it only.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Fair that you know right off.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
This special meeting has been called to give you a
private opportunity to answer to the charge of horse stealing
and cattle rustling.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Who says I'm a cattle wrestler and horse thief? I
do you stand up, mister and Dickie or Iron.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No, no, no, boys, let's not add injury to insult.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
We want to get to.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The bottom of this slaughter, so do I and I
aim to. No man accuses me without proof, and there
isn't any proof.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm afraid there is slaughter, meaning meaning somebody's been stealing
horses from around Tombstone, running them across the border and
selling them in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I know I lost a couple of three ponies out
of my string. Oh I bet.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You no, No, mister Biggilow. Now let me handle this.
This appears to be a two way wrestling deal, Slaughter,
because this someone's been stealing cattle in Mexico and from
around here too, and sell them in Bisbee and Phoenix and.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Press all this time.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
You were stupid, Slaughter. You stole some of my cattle,
and you had the brass to turn around sell them
to can feel long with that last herd you drove
up from.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Mexico, Biggelow, I'm telling you again, you better back that
up with steel.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Afraid we've got proof it's you, Slaughter.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
What proof?
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
That last herd I bought from you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I paid for them in Mexico with my own money.
I drove them all the way up here through some
pretty rough country and fattened them on the way. I
sold them to you for a fair profit.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, and about a dozen of them had Bigelow's brand
on him. What oh, we'd had been altered. But it
was a pretty clumsy job. Now what have you got
to say to that?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The only thing I can say, I didn't steal Bigelow's
cattle or anybody else's. That ain't good enough for me. Slaughter.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You're new here in these parts, slaughter, but people hereabouts
think pretty well of you.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Thanks, So we got a proposition to make to you. Proposition.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yes, you pay Bigelow for his cattle, and we'll just
forget the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And if I don't, well.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Us no choice but to turn you over to the sheriff.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, slaughter, what shall it be? Neither reach both of you?
I'll just leave you, gens of your gun.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You're putting yourself outside the low slaughter.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, you're putting me there.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
We'll get up a posse, slaughter. We'll come after you.
You do that, and we'll get you sooner.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Or later that I doubt. Thanks for the guns, gents,
of course, I'm not taking them permanently anymore than I
take horses or cattle. You'll find them in the water
and trough across the street. If you take my advice,
don't come looking for him until I've ridden out of town.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Harry, Luke, what do you kiss along in town?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Plenty?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Well, I'm ready to move these cruise over Tucson in
time you are.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Luke, I'll have to wait, whichita, how long will it
take you to get together your gear and chow for
three days and saddle up.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Oh half hour.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
If I was rushed, you're rushed. Make it twenty minutes.
There's a posse less than a half hour behind us. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
If we're figuring on getting any further you shot of
these horses, we'd better give them a resh.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, I know which you tell. That's why we're headed
for the river.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Oh, figuring on throwing the party off the trail by riding.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
On a little uh stream.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
That's right. We'll come out on that lava outcropping down
at jack Rabbit Fatles. Then we'll see whether they can
pick up our trail. If you had to ask me,
I didn't wit.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Well, I know, but if you had, it's just what
I would have gone.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's just what I figured. Oh boy, saw down it?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Oh oo, come on there, you honer a critter?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
No time stopped for a drink?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Now they got that much time? Wichit? Let him wait
his whistle?
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Oh good. I don't know, Luke, I just can't get
over it. But you ain't like you to take this
line down.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well, I'm not exactly lying down.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
No, you're a high tail in it, which is worse.
And I always thought you had more guts than you
could hang.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
On a fence.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
There's the time to fight and the time to run, Wichita,
and this isn't the time to fight. Come on, I
tell her that's enough, gusling. Come on.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
If i's you, I'd have blown the heads off them too,
slander and shot that.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Let me prove I could outdraw them. They wouldn't disprove
their charges.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Well, you ain't going to disprove them by running away.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I hope, I am Wichita. Ah, I don't know yet
that it's a nice day for a horseback ride, isn't it.
Let's give these fellows a little rest.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
I could use a little myself.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
That lava field ain't the easiest thing to pick your
way through for man or beast.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You'll let him graze a while behind these rocks.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Let's you go up and peek over the rim. Maybe
we can see our pursuers.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
All right, get down, now, pick up your hat.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I'm sure I want.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
To make a silhouette against the sky.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
A mighty pretty view of a valley from here.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
What's so funny?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
You look out there up river?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
About a mile there they are, Yeah, fanning all over
the desert, riding back and forth and up and down
the river.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
They'll never pick up a trail.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
We shook them for fair. What are we going to
do now?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Sit shit here? That's right? Why see what happens next?
We've made our play. The next plays up to somebody else.
That's what we're sitting here to find out.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Ain't we sat here long enough? Luke?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That quite wichitown.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Shet here all day yesterday, shet here all night, freeze
in the deaths out of fire.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I told you I didn't want anybody to know we
were here.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Who's to know that partially faded back tombstone four sundown yesterday, Wigeta.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Didn't you ever learn that patience is a virtue.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
I would never know as a very virtuous.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Man, and that virtue is its own reward.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Luke sermonizing me, ain't gonna get you nowhere.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I don't mean to play skypilot wichitawn. But if you
look over there, over there to the east, a cloudy dust,
I think that may be why we've been sitting here.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Just a small string of horses six eight, maybe a
couple of hands hurting.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Them inside, hurting himself across the border.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Maybe you think there's stolen horses.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I'd bet on it.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
How come you're so certain?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, now, if you were running this wrestling and you'd accused.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
Me, why I'd never do that loop?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, But just supposing and I skipped time, Now, wouldn't
you take advantage of that fact to wrestle some more
horses and make it look like I'd done it? For certain?
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Well? Sure, sure, I would look here if I was
a wrestler.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
For trained Now, I think we can both be pretty
sure that we aren't the wrestlers.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I reconcile. But if we ain't, then them waters down
there are are soul. Let's go get him.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
No, why not?
Speaker 7 (09:50):
If you're theorizing is correct, they're guilty as soon.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, but they're probably just trail hands. I want to
know who the boss is.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
How are you gonna find out? Right down there?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Which is all? We're gonna trail them. Let's hit the
leathern We trailed them south across the border and into Mexico,
keeping well out of sight. By dark on the second day,
they'd reached the little town of Dela Rosa. We watched
(10:23):
the two of them, heard the horses into a corral
on the outskirts of town, then paralleled them along a
back street. As they headed for the cantina. We edged
up to the door, keeping in the shadows. Fifteen minutes
later they came out and started across the street.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
It looks like that roomenhouse over there. They're heading for loop.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah you recognize them.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Nope, never seen either of them before.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
We're going to follow them right now. We know where
they are. I'm more interested in seeing who they've been
talking to in the cantina. Come on your eyes open
on your hand near your holster, saying, honese those the killers,
he singor what'd you die? Over there at that table?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Who is she do?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Mingas a bandido? Smart and tough.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
You think he's the one.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I think we better have a talk with him. Hello Domingas,
when us not just senior slaughter? Matter? If we sit around?
You should not have come here, senior slaughter. Why not
we're just drifting through.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Oh no, you're not just drifting through, sing your slaughter.
You will run out of tombstone because they thought you
were stealing horses and.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Carol, you've got big ears, do Mingas? See? These big
ears are very valuable to me at times.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
I think you follow those horses here to find out
who's behind.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
This, Dominga's let's play it your way. But I don't
think you're the boss at this operation. I think you're
just receiving the stolen horses at this end of the line,
and that's your business, not mine. I want to know
who's behind this up Tombstone way. I have no information
for you. No, it might be a good idea for
(12:20):
you if you did have.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
You're in no position to make threats. I'm holding a
gun on you under the table.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Easy, Wichita. Yeah, I think it's your were Domingas. What's
your play?
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Trell be no play, Senor Slaughter. I'm leaving now, and
you will not follow me.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's a matter of opinion if you do, Senor Slaughter.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Yeah, when you walk through this door, you're going to
be shut.
Speaker 2 (13:04):

(14:00):
Robeson's production of Luke Slaughter of Tombstone.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
What are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Luke go out that door? I reckon, But you heard.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
What Dominga said. We'll get dry golds we step outside.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Maybe now's as good a time as any to find out.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
He's in the dark out there, we'd be setting ducks
against the light.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
That's why we're gonna have a little less light in here.
Get us. Thus, stay where you are and nobody will
get hurt. I figure it's just as dark and here
as it is out there. Now come on with your town,
(14:52):
all right. When I give the word, we'll go through
this door fast, flattening yourself against the wall on the left.
I'll be on the right. Ready, Yeah, Now you are right,
Wicha Yeah, he missed. Came from over near that horse trough.
Don't shoot till you see what you're shooting at.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
I see him, Eh, Piers, you got him.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Stay low, let's go take a look.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
You think it's Dominga's I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
He's too smart to leave cover like that. Here he is, it's.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
One of the wrestlers. You plugged him, dead cutter.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Do Minga's probably cleared out. I know him. He won't
ever call unless he's sure he's got a winning hand.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Well, maybe he's wait listen, sounds.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Like somebody is real anxious to get out of here
in a hurry. Dominga is more likely it's the other
wrestler heading north toward Tombstone, And if that is, we've
got to catch him before he gets there and make
him talk.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Come on, Luke, we ain't been much on him all night.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I know I was hoping we could head him off
before he crossed the border.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Yeah, well, how far are you figure?
Speaker 6 (16:19):
We are on a tube.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Sholder, five six hours, starting to get light.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
We got one chance of nailing him. He swinging to
the left around this ridge. We're going over the top, Luke.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
If he's got by ahead of us, were licked. You
gotta climb over the ridge like to kill these horses.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I don't think he has got by us. Which it? Oh,
here's the trail, there's no fresh tracks on it.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Yeah, I hear him coming.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Uke. We're around the bend from him. He won't see
us until he's right on top of us.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
You're gonna rope him.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I'm gonna try to. I want him alive.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
Here he comes, hey, Yeah, I got him?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
All right? Hold it?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Had you had you cut me off?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Doesn't matter. Now? What's your name? Ben Faraday? All right, Saturday?
Who are you working for? No body? Don't give me that.
Who's your boss? Come on? Start talking?
Speaker 6 (17:32):
I don't know what you.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Get down. What you're talking.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Came from up on the ridge.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
You see anything?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah? A piece of a Mexican sombrero up there for
a minute, Dominga's, and I got.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
A hand it to him for being a good shot.
Faraday's dead as a.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Door near you.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, you can't do any talking now, that's a cinch.
Come on, keep blow behind these rocks, keep that head
of yours down. He'll get it blown.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
It appears to be a lot of cover for him
up there.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, once we get over this shoulder, I can see
the top of the ridge. Easy, now, I'll go first.
You see anything, No, it looks like there he is.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
A toppy's horse and heading for the border.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Sure he isn't interested in us anymore. That Faraday is
dead and can't tell us who the boss is.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Maybe des Domingus, that's likely.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
This operation's too big for a tim horned Bandito. It's
gotta be somebody at the north end of the line,
probably somebody runt in Tombstone.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Well with Faraday and that other rustler both dead. Looks
like we don't have much chance to find out who
it is.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Come on now, Wichita, don't throw in your hand till
you've used up all the aces in your sleeve. Meaning
see that hollow down there in the rocks there Faraday's body. Eh,
what about I'm gonna rig up a little camp there
for Faraday and me.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
You're gonna set up camp is a dead man.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's right, and you wit your ta You're going riding
what you.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Think I've been doing for the last twelve.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Hours, and you get some more riding ahead of you.
I want you to ride into Tombstone and tell him
we caught Faraday. Tell him he's wounded and unconscious. Tell
him to send the doctor because as soon as he
comes to we're gonna find out who the wrestler boss
really is.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
You figure Faraday's boss or come a runner to keep
him from talking.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's my gamble.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
It's a pretty local scheme.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
If you ask me, I didn't, but I'll ask you this.
You got a better one. No, then hit the letter
for Tombstone, get that story around town, and then get
back here as soon as you can. Who's that? Who's
(19:55):
out there?
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Who dead?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Gun away? Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Yes, I I bet I got more saddle sores than
this horse has to get the word around.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I would you talk to well Ezra Canfield for one else?
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Or Big Blow happened to be in town. I saw
to it that.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
He heard a lot more what they say.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Well, they said they hoped Verdy could clear you, and
they tried to sober.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Up Doc eating and get him out here. Somebody went
to find them, Big Law. I think it was.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You tell them exactly where our camp is located.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, Luke, you figure it might be either of them,
two Canfield or Big Glow could be.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
On the other hand, it could be anybody or maybe
our message didn't even get to the right man anyway.
You look at it, Whiche, It's only one thing we
can do. Now, let's wait.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
It sure gets cold on your night.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
I'm gonna put another piece of mesquit on the fire.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Leave it be with you, But I'm free from Luke.
Just leave the embers like they are. You don't want
to light yourself up for a target, do you.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Oh? You know that you mentioned.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
What time.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You figure it's getting to be past midnight, But the
looks of the stars.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
Nobody's going to be looking for us this time.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And nice maybe maybe not, Luke.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
You realize it. This is the third night running that
I haven't had any sleep. To speak out.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And get some I'll stand watch, but I can't.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Sleep, Luke, I'm too dang cool.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to turn you
out to pasture with your town. You're getting too old
and crotchety for this kind of plane.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Now, now you s here, Luke, you're just as sleepy
and just as cold as.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
I am, only you won't admit it.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Quiet, looks like the party is about to start.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Quiet, I can't. You are right, yeah, but I'm going
to need a new.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
