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 (00:11):
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. There's no man west of the Rio Grande
big enough to take it from me.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Luke Slutter of Tombstone, Civil War
cavalryman turned Arizona cattleman. Across the territory from Yuma to
(00:52):
Fort Defiance, from Flagstaff to the Wachukas, and below the
border through Chihuahua and Sonara. His name was respected or fear,
depending on which side of the law you were on.
Man of vision, man of legend, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Folks who write dictionaries must have a pretty tough time
with the word tolerance. I guess if you had to
boil it down to just one other word, maybe it'd
be understanding. Some of us here and Tombstone found that out.
And I gave Chief Margano and a few of his
Apache braves the loan of a couple of sections of
my spread to try their hand at cattle raising. And
(01:43):
I get chewed out plenty about it every time I
went into town.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Now you call it an experiment slaughter. I call it
an invitation to sneaking apaches to murder you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, I living on my spread, don't you figure it's
my business.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Ah. They won't stop with you. Once they smell white
blood again, they'll massacre everybody in Tombstone.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Look, mister Vale, Margano's through making war. He's trying to
understand our ways. He's even trying to get his people
to adopt some of them.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Are they adopted guns quick enough? But they'll never be
cattle men.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
This was their country before it was ours. They've got
a right to be part of its progress.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You can't just.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Shut the apaches up on a reservation and forget them.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Oh maybe we can't forget them. But if we drive
him back to the Cherikawas, we'll at least have some
warning when they strike.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
They aren't going to strike. Margano and I have sort
of a sort of a private treaty.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Margano's a senile, old fool. You got a private treaty
with that trigger tempered son of his Blasher.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I like him too. He's intelligent and he's got spunk.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Spunk my foot.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
You have been looking all over for you. I want
you to make the acquaintance of mister Henry Fell from
back East Fell.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
This year's Luke Slaughter my boss, and this here's Carter Vale.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
These parts a distinct pleasure, gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Indeed it is so you're from back East, mister f Yes, indeed, Boston.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
You know, boys, mister Fell here cannot draw any man
in the place. Well, he can Bardy, Yeah, sure, I'd
been a month's wages.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
He can even outdraw you, Luke.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I'm afraid neither mister Fowl nor myself have any special
reason for drawing.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well, he's got plenty of reasons, or not necessarily against
duel course.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
He will take on all comers.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You think you could outdraw me, Fell.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I have very little doubt about mister fail with what.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You aren't even packing an iron?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, you want to take him on, mister Vale, why
he'll even furnish the weapon.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Let's uh, let's just forget about it, gentleman, forget it nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Bell may as well learn some of the facts of
life in the Arizona Territory, exactly what.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I came to do, mister Vale, to learn them and
record them for posterity.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
All right, I doubt you'll ever record for this incident.
But you can start by trying to outdraw me with
mister Fell's weapons.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yep, hold on wispilled blood over a silly barroom challenge.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You been implying that I shouldn't mix in your business. Laughter,
Well this is mine correct.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Now mister Vale thinks he cannot draw mister Fell. I
and mister Fell don't think he can. And the loser
buys around for the hot simble.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
I don't indulge, but I shall be delighted to stand
treat if I lose.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You ridiculous little dude.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
All right, let's.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
See the gun.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'm on wrapping the weapons. Nobody mentioned guns?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You draw with these veil.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
And here's yours Fell, paper and a piece of chark
or what is this? Why a outdrawn match? One?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Two? Three?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Draw?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We should have buff in wise to which veil? He's
got a sense of yuma like a cow.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Buffalo watch Michter Fell, who can't He's.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
A nose flaring lips, tight chin raggy.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Hey wait a minute, is I supposed to hurry up
and draw something's veil?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
He's almost rs I'll be dug one veils suspending image
of him.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
There we are looks like you'll start through the drinks,
mister Veil. Well, now look here when a man challenges me.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
If anybody thinks it's a laughing matter, let know there's
no offense attendance. You are more than welcome to the
little sketch, and I shall be delighted to purchase the libations.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I don't welch for beds. Rank set him up for
the house.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Hey, you're a good sport, Veil, and it's mighty good
likeness too.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well, I I guess I will take the picture home
with me, fell missus Veils. Well, women sometimes enjoy do
dad like this. Luke, you know what doing here in tombstone?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah? Keeping you in free drinks?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Oh sure where that too? Would he come worst to
paint Injurines? Well, the Engines do their own painting with
war paint. Slaughter and I were just talking.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
About that we weren't getting anywhere either war painting.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I understood that the treaties where the Apaches were working
out nicely.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They are when the white men live up to them.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Well, that is practically treason against your own race, Slaughter.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
If it's treason to compare some members of my own
race with Indians like Cochise and Margano. I'm guilty. Tell
us a little more about what you plan to do,
mister Felon.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Well, I want to paint the strong Indian faces. They're customs,
the way they live. The people back east have some
amazing misconceptions about them.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah, so has Slaughter. He trusts them.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm trying to understand them anyway. Mister Felon, there are
some very interesting and colorful apaches living on my spread.
You'll have models for all the painting you want to do.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And the apaches will have a brand new candidate for
buzzard meat. Here's powerful hard work, Luke.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I know you don't feel right out of a saddle, which,
but we're gonna need this corral. Oh oh, good morning,
Belden Slaughter Whitney.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
How the missus like your picture?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well she she wants your friend Fell to paint one
of her. You know where I can find him.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I'm afraid he isn't available today. I took him out
to the Apache camp at sunrise with paints and brushes
and canvas.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
He was happy as a chipmunk in opinion for laughter,
A tenderfoot like fel could be just refused to set
your apaches off. Suppose he tries to paint one of
their women.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Chief Margano explained about that to him. He said, a
woman who gazes too long at a reflection and a
clear stream forgets her life's purpose.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Hey, iim Apache's got the right idea about their women.
Pool how to marry one, make her hammer this corral together?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Why are you building the corral? Force laughter? Omergano won't
steal your mustangs. Well, for once, here came sort of
close to trapping me.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I'm going to try to improve the range Mustangs with
some Morgan breeding stock, and I figure there's no use
tempting Lasher and his young buck friends way beyond their
conception of our property laws.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You and your fancy talk about your Apache friends. You
don't trust him anymore than I do.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Sure I do. I just don't expect them to understand
a whole new code of ethics overnight.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Hey, somebody's sure pounding a lot of leather.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, it's look which the tides fell on that little
roan we left out there for him.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I never thought a dude like him could ride slaughter.
He's in trouble.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I got steady, oh steady, which I helped him off for.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Wait, mister fell what happened? You will close his ripped
That mare's lathered up like you was going to shave her.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, that's all right. I guess I saved most of
my paints in this canvas. Mister Slaughter. Those Indians are
far from friendly. They sat upon me, the one you
called Lasher and another redskin black art.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I told you they'd do it, Slaughter, they'll be coming
after us if we don't go after them. First.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Hold it, let's find out what started the trouble.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Nothing, I did assure you. I was painting a portrait
of the old chief with his permission. Lasher and this
other young buck came up. When he took one look
and knocked me to the ground.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Well how'd you get away?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Well, for the moment the old man seemed as surprise
as I was. This Lasher rushed to and started a
jabber and what I assumed was apache and I wrenched loose,
grabbed what I could, and somehow mounted this horse. Fortunately
the Indians horses were still.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Hobbled, miserable, sneaking cowards. Try to murder you in cold blood.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
They'll be too sure. Maybe this was Lasher's idea of
a prank.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Oh, I doubt that Lascia's friend, who I alluded with
the aid of an elbow to his Adam's apple, was
holding a knife to my throat at the same time.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Hee, it is your nasty cut on your arm.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
I'll that was a nasty knife.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'll have to take care of that wound right away.
It's the picture you were painting.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yes, it's a bit the worse for wear, but I
can repaint the smears.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Well, that's Margano's profile, all right, except you made him
look almost decent. All right, slaughter, I'll head for tombstone
and get the men together.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
What four what for to.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Drive those apaches back to the cherry carwars. There's any
left when we finished with him.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
This happened on my property. As soon as I get
fell fixed up, I'll right out and get the whole story.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
A white man has been attacked. It doesn't matter whose
property it happened on. It's a matter of defending the community.
Now listen to me.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Thee you fire a shot or even gore Mark Kanda,
dig sand men, it's an engineer that's stuck the rails.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Crawford up there on the rise and mounted Apache they'll
don't fire her, try and stop me.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
You do.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Keep his gun for him, which it has. Lassat Slaughter,
have you gone, loco?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
I've come from White Eyes picture maker. I will not
tell you.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Are you alone?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I am alone?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And drop that bow and ride to me.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Send White Eyes Fell to me.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
He's our enemy.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Enemy Lassa either party like a man, or sends your father.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I won your husting Slaughter.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Turn Fell loose, or I will come back with my braves.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
And take him.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I wouldn't try that.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I gave you a ten.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
The sun is at its highest.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Then I come back for the White Eyes. We only
got to noon.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Luke.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
There's twenty braves in the camp, and plenty of them
got rifles.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
They'll get around up more men than that. I'm not
gonna let this turn into war.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Did you ever stop to think that maybe you could
be wrong about engines?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
In a moment, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone returns. This is
bud Sewell with official results on the automobile competition the
whole industry watches every year the famous mobile Gas Economy run.
This year's run eighteen hundred and eighty three miles from
Los Angeles to Texas, ranging from sea level through mountain passes,
and once again, Chrysler Corporation cars took the lion's share
(12:37):
of firsts Plymouth, Chrysler and Imperial again this year for
the second straight year, winning first place over all other
cars in their class. The famous economy run Imperial, by
the way, was sweepstake's winner two, getting sixty two points
seventy one eighty eight ton miles per gallon. The Forward
Look is a lot more than look. You get a
(12:58):
better engine. Brawnier breaks tore an air ride at no
extra cost and winning performance and economy in cars of
the Forward Look from Chrysler Corporation. Take a drive this
week in a car of the Forward Look Plymouth Dodge
de Soto, Chrysler or the Triumphant Imperial Drive, one of
America's performance winners from Chrysler Corporation and now Act two
(13:30):
of William N. Robson's production of Luke Slutter of Tombstone,
carter Vale came.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
To in a fury. He swore to drive the apaches
back to the mountains. He sworried settle with me after
he'd denot. Then he mounted his big stallion and spurred
back toward tombstone to recruit men and guns.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Luke, he's mad enough to eat the devil with his
horns on, And I ain't so sure he ain't good
at cash.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
He will have a flasher brings his braves back to
take fell.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
If I had insighted those Indians, i'd tell you, mister slaughter.
But I assure you I was attacked without provocation.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Let me see your painting of Chief Margano again. Fel.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Whatever you're gonna do, Luke, do it ponto.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It was as good. He captured the strength of his profile,
his courage in his eye.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
This ain't no time to act like one of them
are critic dudes. We're two hours away from being caught
in the war.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I once saw the funeral rites for an old chief
of the Chinnamachur tribe in the Louisiana territory. His son
was very much concerned about the way the body was
laid out on the funeral pile, so that when the
dead warrior met the great spirit. Well, could you make
another portrait of Margano from memory? Posed?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
As I tell you, certainly I have his features to
my mind that I wouldn't need a muddel.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Let's go up to the house. Then you've got a
picture to paint. Fell painted a new picture of Margano.
We rode for the Apache camp a little before noon.
The picture was a gamble that I had to force
(15:22):
a parley or deal with a possible massacre.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
What of the ambushers?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
They won't But you can bet that the APACHE scouts
are escorting us in.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
I certainly don't see them.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
An Apache good hide behind one of your paint brushes.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I wish you'd explain this picture.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Followed rolls of me.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We will if it turns out I'm right, and and
we're all in a game of showdown the mighty big stakes,
and pull down to a walk. Now the camp's just
the other side of this wash. Easy, now, bother of him.
Don't let the welcoming committee scare you until fall.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Moove What welcoming committee? I don't see right out of
the mesquite Oh oh oh boy, Margano and Lasha wait,
white eyes, come with me.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
We're all coming.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
That's the buck who slashed me, mister slaughter.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Don't worry, he's acting under Margano's orders.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Now, appeers like we beat vail here anyhow.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Not by much. See that Indian riding up to the
edge of the MASA.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah, yeah, he's turning to large and old Margano or
something in sign language.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
White riders coming. It's bound to be veiling the men.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Did anyone ever surprise on a patching?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Never? Twice plenty far? Now? Oh whre they this mounth man?
Good time, unbuckle your belt and let your guns drop
like I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Won't you do it?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Margano? We come in peace.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
What of the others who ride toward us.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I want this young brave in Wichita to ride out
and meet them with a white flag. We'll use your
shirt for that, fellow.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Good I got a surrender without even my gun.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Get started with your time and make sure that vales
men walk their horses into this camp. Po now, Margano, Lasso,
suppose you meet us halfway?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
We want no parley. Give us white eyes without a shirt. La.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
So you insult me when you insult my friend. Now
walk towards us, both of you. Lasa will avenge his father,
avenge him for what your father is, just as I
saw him this morning.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
My son says, little man who draws with colored stick
tell lies too great spirit about Margano.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Your son is wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I do not tell lies.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You speak with a tongue that has no wisdom. You
strike out like a child who can't reason.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I'm a man. I've killed Zunny warriors and Yachi warriors.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
I have told my son that killing can no longer
be the way of the apache. He replies that even
white men killed to have and you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
The wise white man and the wise red man make
sure a wrong has been done before they kill. Nothing
should be decided in the heat of anger.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
We've follay too long, white picture, make a tell lies
too great spirit, e or.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Your hand in this?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Like it?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
All right? There, veil. Where are the rest of your men?
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Where they can cover this place with the guns?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
If you crawl your way into a track, I.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Explain that you send out the white flag, Luke, and
don't ask me to drop my guns.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I don't aim to die before I pump some lead myself.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
We've been havin a little talk about hot heads, and
now that the place is crawling with them, mister fall
and I'll show you how wrong you all are. Margano
hastein fell as a gift for you.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
I am not softened by a gift from one who lies.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Bell does not lie. His gift is the old white
cloth he carries. Give it to your apache friend, mister Fellow,
do not touch it, my father, take it Margano. It's
your likeness. The likeness haustin Fell had not yet finished
when your son so stupidly attacked him.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
No, no, do not look upon it.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
All right, I'll make you look at it.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Oh, my own son has tolt.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Hey Lusha behold he he But this morning the picture
had but one eye, but one ear, but half of
them off.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I told you, er, hastein Fell, it not finished. You
think that a friend I brought to you would insult
your great spirit and your father by drawing him with
half a face, when he has two eyes as piercing
as the eagles.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
My people shall remember their chief as they see him here,
as hostin Fell has painted him.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
And Lusso was a fool, I will go from my
people and never return.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
No, Lasher, your father and your people need you to day.
You've become wiser. The best thing now is to I'll
just forget this foolish trouble. Now, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Hastin Fell has no shirt. He will do Lussier and
honor if he will accept Lasher's shirt of Gaskin. Who
are I shall be very pleased, and you will make
a picture of Lashier when there's no pain in your arm.
Oh my arm feels fine, Lasher, I'd like to paint you,
and I can assure mister Slaughter that I will not
attempt another profile profile. I do not understand.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's nothing, Lasher, just the word painters use. Now, Vail,
suppose you let your army know the war's over. I
turned towards Veil, hunting, and the other young Apatche was
drawing his knife. I leaped for him, but Veil was
off his horse in the same instant and hurling himself
at me.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Are you fool, mister val what you punch him for?
You think I want him to start a war? Might
help him up with Chita Hanton. We'll go ahead. Throw
your knife, what.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Anton?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
It is an evil knife, evil spirits, bewitched it, It
harmed a friend. Haunt On hurls it from him. He
luke he was naming to harm nobody. You claim to
be such an expert on Apache customs, laughter and an
expert on hot heads. And now we're square for the
(21:45):
punch you landed on me this morning, Right.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Right, Veil, I've been spouting about how tolerant and understanding
are pretty much the same thing. I guess we both
understand a little more about our neighbors. If your jaw
feels like mine he is. From now on, we're going
to be a lot more tolerant of each other.
Speaker 2 (22:21):

I couldn't sleep that night in Marton. My mother said
what was the matter?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Which he looked like something wrong?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I said nothing, nothing, he said, but there was something
wrong that night in the park, this boy in his
juvenile gang had stabbed and beaten another teenager to death.
The victim, Michael Farmer, son of a fireman, who.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Is a very courageous, spirited boy, is athletic, is an
excellent student, and we had great plans for the future.
It's a hard thing to realize that there is no
future any longer.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
For Michael Farmer's father, The future is blank. But for
the rest of us, what implications does this crime hold?
To Morrow night? On most of these stations, CBS Radio's
Unit One probes the causes and effects of the brutal
New York gang murder for which four teenagers have just
been tried and convicted. You will hear gang members, police parents,
(23:46):
all probing for an understanding of the tragedy as Edward R.
Murrow narrates Unit One's penetrating study, Who killed Michael Farmer?
Tomorrow night? Next week?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
At this time, we return with slaughters the name Luke Slaughter.
When we meet up again, you can call me that
Luke Slaughter.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
This is the CBS 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. There's no man west of the Rio Grande
big enough to take it from me.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Luke Slutter of Tombstone, Civil War
cavalryman turned Arizona cattleman. Across the territory from Yuma to
(00:52):
Fort Defiance, from Flagstaff to the Wachukas, and below the
border through Chihuahua and Sonara. His name was respected or fear,
depending on which side of the law you were on.
Man of vision, man of legend, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Folks who write dictionaries must have a pretty tough time
with the word tolerance. I guess if you had to
boil it down to just one other word, maybe it'd
be understanding. Some of us here and Tombstone found that out.
And I gave Chief Margano and a few of his
Apache braves the loan of a couple of sections of
my spread to try their hand at cattle raising. And
(01:43):
I get chewed out plenty about it every time I
went into town.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Now you call it an experiment slaughter. I call it
an invitation to sneaking apaches to murder you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, I living on my spread, don't you figure it's
my business.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Ah. They won't stop with you. Once they smell white
blood again, they'll massacre everybody in Tombstone.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Look, mister Vale, Margano's through making war. He's trying to
understand our ways. He's even trying to get his people
to adopt some of them.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Are they adopted guns quick enough? But they'll never be
cattle men.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
This was their country before it was ours. They've got
a right to be part of its progress.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You can't just.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Shut the apaches up on a reservation and forget them.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Oh maybe we can't forget them. But if we drive
him back to the Cherikawas, we'll at least have some
warning when they strike.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
They aren't going to strike. Margano and I have sort
of a sort of a private treaty.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Margano's a senile, old fool. You got a private treaty
with that trigger tempered son of his Blasher.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I like him too. He's intelligent and he's got spunk.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Spunk my foot.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
You have been looking all over for you. I want
you to make the acquaintance of mister Henry Fell from
back East Fell.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
This year's Luke Slaughter my boss, and this here's Carter Vale.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
These parts a distinct pleasure, gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Indeed it is so you're from back East, mister f Yes, indeed, Boston.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
You know, boys, mister Fell here cannot draw any man
in the place. Well, he can Bardy, Yeah, sure, I'd
been a month's wages.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
He can even outdraw you, Luke.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I'm afraid neither mister Fowl nor myself have any special
reason for drawing.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well, he's got plenty of reasons, or not necessarily against
duel course.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
He will take on all comers.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You think you could outdraw me, Fell.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I have very little doubt about mister fail with what.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You aren't even packing an iron?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, you want to take him on, mister Vale, why
he'll even furnish the weapon.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Let's uh, let's just forget about it, gentleman, forget it nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Bell may as well learn some of the facts of
life in the Arizona Territory, exactly what.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I came to do, mister Vale, to learn them and
record them for posterity.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
All right, I doubt you'll ever record for this incident.
But you can start by trying to outdraw me with
mister Fell's weapons.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yep, hold on wispilled blood over a silly barroom challenge.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You been implying that I shouldn't mix in your business. Laughter,
Well this is mine correct.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Now mister Vale thinks he cannot draw mister Fell. I
and mister Fell don't think he can. And the loser
buys around for the hot simble.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
I don't indulge, but I shall be delighted to stand
treat if I lose.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You ridiculous little dude.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
All right, let's.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
See the gun.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'm on wrapping the weapons. Nobody mentioned guns?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You draw with these veil.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
And here's yours Fell, paper and a piece of chark
or what is this? Why a outdrawn match? One?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Two? Three?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Draw?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We should have buff in wise to which veil? He's
got a sense of yuma like a cow.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Buffalo watch Michter Fell, who can't He's.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
A nose flaring lips, tight chin raggy.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Hey wait a minute, is I supposed to hurry up
and draw something's veil?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
He's almost rs I'll be dug one veils suspending image
of him.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
There we are looks like you'll start through the drinks,
mister Veil. Well, now look here when a man challenges me.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
If anybody thinks it's a laughing matter, let know there's
no offense attendance. You are more than welcome to the
little sketch, and I shall be delighted to purchase the libations.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I don't welch for beds. Rank set him up for
the house.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Hey, you're a good sport, Veil, and it's mighty good
likeness too.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well, I I guess I will take the picture home
with me, fell missus Veils. Well, women sometimes enjoy do
dad like this. Luke, you know what doing here in tombstone?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah? Keeping you in free drinks?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Oh sure where that too? Would he come worst to
paint Injurines? Well, the Engines do their own painting with
war paint. Slaughter and I were just talking.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
About that we weren't getting anywhere either war painting.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I understood that the treaties where the Apaches were working
out nicely.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They are when the white men live up to them.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Well, that is practically treason against your own race, Slaughter.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
If it's treason to compare some members of my own
race with Indians like Cochise and Margano. I'm guilty. Tell
us a little more about what you plan to do,
mister Felon.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Well, I want to paint the strong Indian faces. They're customs,
the way they live. The people back east have some
amazing misconceptions about them.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah, so has Slaughter. He trusts them.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm trying to understand them anyway. Mister Felon, there are
some very interesting and colorful apaches living on my spread.
You'll have models for all the painting you want to do.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And the apaches will have a brand new candidate for
buzzard meat. Here's powerful hard work, Luke.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I know you don't feel right out of a saddle, which,
but we're gonna need this corral. Oh oh, good morning,
Belden Slaughter Whitney.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
How the missus like your picture?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well she she wants your friend Fell to paint one
of her. You know where I can find him.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I'm afraid he isn't available today. I took him out
to the Apache camp at sunrise with paints and brushes
and canvas.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
He was happy as a chipmunk in opinion for laughter,
A tenderfoot like fel could be just refused to set
your apaches off. Suppose he tries to paint one of
their women.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Chief Margano explained about that to him. He said, a
woman who gazes too long at a reflection and a
clear stream forgets her life's purpose.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Hey, iim Apache's got the right idea about their women.
Pool how to marry one, make her hammer this corral together?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Why are you building the corral? Force laughter? Omergano won't
steal your mustangs. Well, for once, here came sort of
close to trapping me.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I'm going to try to improve the range Mustangs with
some Morgan breeding stock, and I figure there's no use
tempting Lasher and his young buck friends way beyond their
conception of our property laws.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You and your fancy talk about your Apache friends. You
don't trust him anymore than I do.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Sure I do. I just don't expect them to understand
a whole new code of ethics overnight.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Hey, somebody's sure pounding a lot of leather.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, it's look which the tides fell on that little
roan we left out there for him.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I never thought a dude like him could ride slaughter.
He's in trouble.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I got steady, oh steady, which I helped him off for.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Wait, mister fell what happened? You will close his ripped
That mare's lathered up like you was going to shave her.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, that's all right. I guess I saved most of
my paints in this canvas. Mister Slaughter. Those Indians are
far from friendly. They sat upon me, the one you
called Lasher and another redskin black art.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I told you they'd do it, Slaughter, they'll be coming
after us if we don't go after them. First.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Hold it, let's find out what started the trouble.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Nothing, I did assure you. I was painting a portrait
of the old chief with his permission. Lasher and this
other young buck came up. When he took one look
and knocked me to the ground.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Well how'd you get away?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Well, for the moment the old man seemed as surprise
as I was. This Lasher rushed to and started a
jabber and what I assumed was apache and I wrenched loose,
grabbed what I could, and somehow mounted this horse. Fortunately
the Indians horses were still.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Hobbled, miserable, sneaking cowards. Try to murder you in cold blood.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
They'll be too sure. Maybe this was Lasher's idea of
a prank.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Oh, I doubt that Lascia's friend, who I alluded with
the aid of an elbow to his Adam's apple, was
holding a knife to my throat at the same time.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Hee, it is your nasty cut on your arm.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
I'll that was a nasty knife.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'll have to take care of that wound right away.
It's the picture you were painting.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yes, it's a bit the worse for wear, but I
can repaint the smears.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Well, that's Margano's profile, all right, except you made him
look almost decent. All right, slaughter, I'll head for tombstone
and get the men together.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
What four what for to.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Drive those apaches back to the cherry carwars. There's any
left when we finished with him.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
This happened on my property. As soon as I get
fell fixed up, I'll right out and get the whole story.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
A white man has been attacked. It doesn't matter whose
property it happened on. It's a matter of defending the community.
Now listen to me.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Thee you fire a shot or even gore Mark Kanda,
dig sand men, it's an engineer that's stuck the rails.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Crawford up there on the rise and mounted Apache they'll
don't fire her, try and stop me.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
You do.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Keep his gun for him, which it has. Lassat Slaughter,
have you gone, loco?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
I've come from White Eyes picture maker. I will not
tell you.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Are you alone?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I am alone?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And drop that bow and ride to me.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Send White Eyes Fell to me.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
He's our enemy.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Enemy Lassa either party like a man, or sends your father.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I won your husting Slaughter.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Turn Fell loose, or I will come back with my braves.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
And take him.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I wouldn't try that.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I gave you a ten.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
The sun is at its highest.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Then I come back for the White Eyes. We only
got to noon.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Luke.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
There's twenty braves in the camp, and plenty of them
got rifles.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
They'll get around up more men than that. I'm not
gonna let this turn into war.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Did you ever stop to think that maybe you could
be wrong about engines?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
In a moment, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone returns. This is
bud Sewell with official results on the automobile competition the
whole industry watches every year the famous mobile Gas Economy run.
This year's run eighteen hundred and eighty three miles from
Los Angeles to Texas, ranging from sea level through mountain passes,
and once again, Chrysler Corporation cars took the lion's share
(12:37):
of firsts Plymouth, Chrysler and Imperial again this year for
the second straight year, winning first place over all other
cars in their class. The famous economy run Imperial, by
the way, was sweepstake's winner two, getting sixty two points
seventy one eighty eight ton miles per gallon. The Forward
Look is a lot more than look. You get a
(12:58):
better engine. Brawnier breaks tore an air ride at no
extra cost and winning performance and economy in cars of
the Forward Look from Chrysler Corporation. Take a drive this
week in a car of the Forward Look Plymouth Dodge
de Soto, Chrysler or the Triumphant Imperial Drive, one of
America's performance winners from Chrysler Corporation and now Act two
(13:30):
of William N. Robson's production of Luke Slutter of Tombstone,
carter Vale came.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
To in a fury. He swore to drive the apaches
back to the mountains. He sworried settle with me after
he'd denot. Then he mounted his big stallion and spurred
back toward tombstone to recruit men and guns.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Luke, he's mad enough to eat the devil with his
horns on, And I ain't so sure he ain't good
at cash.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
He will have a flasher brings his braves back to
take fell.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
If I had insighted those Indians, i'd tell you, mister slaughter.
But I assure you I was attacked without provocation.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Let me see your painting of Chief Margano again. Fel.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Whatever you're gonna do, Luke, do it ponto.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It was as good. He captured the strength of his profile,
his courage in his eye.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
This ain't no time to act like one of them
are critic dudes. We're two hours away from being caught
in the war.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I once saw the funeral rites for an old chief
of the Chinnamachur tribe in the Louisiana territory. His son
was very much concerned about the way the body was
laid out on the funeral pile, so that when the
dead warrior met the great spirit. Well, could you make
another portrait of Margano from memory? Posed?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
As I tell you, certainly I have his features to
my mind that I wouldn't need a muddel.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Let's go up to the house. Then you've got a
picture to paint. Fell painted a new picture of Margano.
We rode for the Apache camp a little before noon.
The picture was a gamble that I had to force
(15:22):
a parley or deal with a possible massacre.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
What of the ambushers?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
They won't But you can bet that the APACHE scouts
are escorting us in.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
I certainly don't see them.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
An Apache good hide behind one of your paint brushes.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I wish you'd explain this picture.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Followed rolls of me.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We will if it turns out I'm right, and and
we're all in a game of showdown the mighty big stakes,
and pull down to a walk. Now the camp's just
the other side of this wash. Easy, now, bother of him.
Don't let the welcoming committee scare you until fall.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Moove What welcoming committee? I don't see right out of
the mesquite Oh oh oh boy, Margano and Lasha wait,
white eyes, come with me.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
We're all coming.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
That's the buck who slashed me, mister slaughter.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Don't worry, he's acting under Margano's orders.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Now, appeers like we beat vail here anyhow.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Not by much. See that Indian riding up to the
edge of the MASA.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah, yeah, he's turning to large and old Margano or
something in sign language.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
White riders coming. It's bound to be veiling the men.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Did anyone ever surprise on a patching?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Never? Twice plenty far? Now? Oh whre they this mounth man?
Good time, unbuckle your belt and let your guns drop
like I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Won't you do it?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Margano? We come in peace.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
What of the others who ride toward us.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I want this young brave in Wichita to ride out
and meet them with a white flag. We'll use your
shirt for that, fellow.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Good I got a surrender without even my gun.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Get started with your time and make sure that vales
men walk their horses into this camp. Po now, Margano, Lasso,
suppose you meet us halfway?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
We want no parley. Give us white eyes without a shirt. La.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
So you insult me when you insult my friend. Now
walk towards us, both of you. Lasa will avenge his father,
avenge him for what your father is, just as I
saw him this morning.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
My son says, little man who draws with colored stick
tell lies too great spirit about Margano.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Your son is wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I do not tell lies.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You speak with a tongue that has no wisdom. You
strike out like a child who can't reason.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I'm a man. I've killed Zunny warriors and Yachi warriors.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
I have told my son that killing can no longer
be the way of the apache. He replies that even
white men killed to have and you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
The wise white man and the wise red man make
sure a wrong has been done before they kill. Nothing
should be decided in the heat of anger.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
We've follay too long, white picture, make a tell lies
too great spirit, e or.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Your hand in this?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Like it?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
All right? There, veil. Where are the rest of your men?
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Where they can cover this place with the guns?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
If you crawl your way into a track, I.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Explain that you send out the white flag, Luke, and
don't ask me to drop my guns.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I don't aim to die before I pump some lead myself.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
We've been havin a little talk about hot heads, and
now that the place is crawling with them, mister fall
and I'll show you how wrong you all are. Margano
hastein fell as a gift for you.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
I am not softened by a gift from one who lies.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Bell does not lie. His gift is the old white
cloth he carries. Give it to your apache friend, mister Fellow,
do not touch it, my father, take it Margano. It's
your likeness. The likeness haustin Fell had not yet finished
when your son so stupidly attacked him.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
No, no, do not look upon it.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
All right, I'll make you look at it.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Oh, my own son has tolt.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Hey Lusha behold he he But this morning the picture
had but one eye, but one ear, but half of
them off.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I told you, er, hastein Fell, it not finished. You
think that a friend I brought to you would insult
your great spirit and your father by drawing him with
half a face, when he has two eyes as piercing
as the eagles.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
My people shall remember their chief as they see him here,
as hostin Fell has painted him.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
And Lusso was a fool, I will go from my
people and never return.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
No, Lasher, your father and your people need you to day.
You've become wiser. The best thing now is to I'll
just forget this foolish trouble. Now, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Hastin Fell has no shirt. He will do Lussier and
honor if he will accept Lasher's shirt of Gaskin. Who
are I shall be very pleased, and you will make
a picture of Lashier when there's no pain in your arm.
Oh my arm feels fine, Lasher, I'd like to paint you,
and I can assure mister Slaughter that I will not
attempt another profile profile. I do not understand.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's nothing, Lasher, just the word painters use. Now, Vail,
suppose you let your army know the war's over. I
turned towards Veil, hunting, and the other young Apatche was
drawing his knife. I leaped for him, but Veil was
off his horse in the same instant and hurling himself
at me.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Are you fool, mister val what you punch him for?
You think I want him to start a war? Might
help him up with Chita Hanton. We'll go ahead. Throw
your knife, what.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Anton?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
It is an evil knife, evil spirits, bewitched it, It
harmed a friend. Haunt On hurls it from him. He
luke he was naming to harm nobody. You claim to
be such an expert on Apache customs, laughter and an
expert on hot heads. And now we're square for the
(21:45):
punch you landed on me this morning, Right.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Right, Veil, I've been spouting about how tolerant and understanding
are pretty much the same thing. I guess we both
understand a little more about our neighbors. If your jaw
feels like mine he is. From now on, we're going
to be a lot more tolerant of each other.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Luke Slatter of Tombstone, starring Sam Buffington, was written by
fran Van Hardistfeldt, with editorial supervision by Tom Hanley, and
directed by William and Robeson. Supporting mister Buffington were Junius Matthews,
Carl Swenson, Ben Wright, Don Diamond, and Jack Krusian. Music
(22:42):
was composed and conducted by Amerigo Marino.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I couldn't sleep that night in Marton. My mother said
what was the matter?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Which he looked like something wrong?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
