All right, he's welcome.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Look, Charlie, I know a lot of people are on
your side, but there are a lot of others on
Nielsen's and.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
I I'd like to stop this trouble before it goes
any further.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Was a fair fight, Marshal, I know it was.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Anytime Nielsen wants to stand up again against either of us,
we'll be ready.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
It'd be better if you'd stay out of sight until
he leaves. I can't do that, Marshall. And you know it.
People that'd say I was a coward.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What people say isn't important, Charlie.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
I don't hide from nobody.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And the only thing behind that fight was some temper
and some strong words. Aren't you man enough to forget it?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
What are you gonna do about it? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
There's nothing I can do if you're set on facing
the except try and get him out of town.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Free yourself of old fashioned ideas.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Why don't have modern, modern.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Free freshen up your taste smoking? Only the modern miracle
of the pure white miracle tip can bring all of
ellen M's full exciting flavor through to you. And that's
the big reason why today more people are changing to
ellen M than to any other cigarette. Remember L and

change to Laam, make you.

M H.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Hello Nielson Marshall. Now I didn't expect you'd ever get
to dodge again.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Guse you thought I was dead. Marshall a long with
a lot of other people.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
You didn't look very healthy when they took you out
of here.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Now I'm still alive for a little while.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Anyway, What good is it doing you to be back here?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Well, everybody figured the fight was over, but I don't
happen to think that way.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It's a lot of trouble over nothing. You and the
Mailer brothers are good men and peaceful ones. You were drinking,
and there were some names called, but that's sure, no
reason for you to come back and stir it all
up again.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
They thought they'd kill me, Marshall, and they were proud
of it.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
I don't think they were.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Look, Jim, uh, I'd like it if you'd go back
to Abilene.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I'm not gonna do it, Marshall. I got nothing to
go back to nowhere.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
What does that mean.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
I'm gonna die from my gunfight? We had the bullets
still in me.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh, there's nothing to be done about it, No, nothing
but try and settle a score. I don't see how
you're gonna be any better off trying to kill two
good men.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Jo Marshall. It's a funny thing knowing you're gonna die.
I had too much to live for when I faced
up to him the first time. I was gonna get married,
I owned some land. Those are the things I was
thinking about. I got scared and tightened up. Man shouldn't
(10:40):
have anything to think about in a gunfight. That was
kind of hard not to But I don't have now, Marshall.
I don't have a thing to lose.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Jim, you're a bad man to have in town.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I don't be here long. You can count on that
drink with me Marshall.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
Marshall, Yeah, he's dead.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
He was satisfied now, Neilson was a fair fight, just
like the first.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
I trusted needless, not to my way of thinking.
Speaker 4 (11:56):

Speaker 9 (15:19):
He left about a half hour ago.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Happened to know where he went.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
No, can't you get your pack train together and go Tom?
Speaker 10 (15:26):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
You know I can't, Kitty.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
What good's it gonna do?
Speaker 8 (15:29):
You're looking for Nielsen up, waiting for him.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
It's something I got to do.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
If he kills you, what are you gonna be proving
my brother's dead? Killing Nielsen won't bring him back. Some
man ought to be killed, sure, but not you and Nielsen.
You're fine, man, both of you.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
My brother was a good man too, Kitty, What would
you have me do?
Speaker 8 (15:56):
I don't know Tom, being the kind of arm after
what's already happened. I guess I got no right trying
to tell you what to do?
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Now?
Speaker 12 (16:08):
Do you know if Nilsen figured on coming back here?
Speaker 9 (16:11):
I don't know. Tom. I'm going to my room.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
I was just about order that drink.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Then you'll have to have it without me.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Thank you for.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
Sitting with me, Kitty.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
Matt, how long have you been here?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
There's not a thing I can do as.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
A kitty, not if you don't take the guns.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Away now, they'd only find more.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
Then you watch and kill each other. Matt, I can't
do it.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Yeah, he's coming with your bill, Allchester.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It won't leave it a few minutes he was looking
for Tom again.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
All right, you get out of side someplace.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Hide your.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Afternoon, Marshall about Tom. Look to Tom.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Uh, I'm gonna ask you to do a brave thing. Well,
you let me keep your gun for as long as
you're in Tom, No, I won't, Marshall. You and I
have been good friends.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
I'd like to keep it that way.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
But you won't do what I say.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Uh, what would you do with you in my spot.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
What you're gonna do?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I guess town, it's a different kind of a fight
this time. Nielsen's gonna die from the bullet you put
it in two months ago, and he knows it. He's
got nothing to lose. I kind of wondered why he
come back. That's why. Now would he either take off
your gun or get out of town.
Speaker 12 (18:09):
I'd like to leave, Marshall. I'd like to be recognized
string of mules with Charlie. But there won't be any
more of it.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Alright, alright, Tom, I told Nielson, and I'll tell you
from the beginning this thing it's been needless. My mistake
was not throwing the three of you in jail. Right off, Marshall, Dylan,
have a drink with me. No thanks to I'm going
back to my office. Goodbye. Well Neilson. I guess there's
(19:02):
no reason trying to talk in a sense and a
you either.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
It's gone past talking, Marshall. You aren't figuring on stopping me.
There's nothing I can do. I'll see you later.
Speaker 7 (19:35):

Speaker 4 (19:40):
How uh, there is nothing I could do for him, mad.
Speaker 6 (19:44):

he's a good man.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Both of 'em was. There's no reason for you to
feel bad. Mad you it tried your very best to
stop it.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I'm glad there's gonna be a law about carrying guns,
and it's gonna be fights like these.

It'll bring it.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Man got the right, mister, They're gonna lose a Chester.

Look, Charlie, I know a lot of people are on
your side, but there are a lot of others on
Nielsen's and.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
I I'd like to stop this trouble before it goes
any further.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Was a fair fight, Marshal, I know it was.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Anytime Nielsen wants to stand up again against either of us,
we'll be ready.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
It'd be better if you'd stay out of sight until
he leaves. I can't do that, Marshall. And you know it.
People that'd say I was a coward.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What people say isn't important, Charlie.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
I don't hide from nobody.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And the only thing behind that fight was some temper
and some strong words. Aren't you man enough to forget it?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
What are you gonna do about it? Marshall?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
There's nothing I can do if you're set on facing
the except try and get him out of town.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Free yourself of old fashioned ideas.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Why don't have modern, modern.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Free freshen up your taste smoking? Only the modern miracle
of the pure white miracle tip can bring all of
ellen M's full exciting flavor through to you. And that's
the big reason why today more people are changing to
ellen M than to any other cigarette. Remember L and
(07:59):
M draws easy, taste, richer, smoke's cleaner. So live modern,
change to Laam, make you.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Day your big red letter day, and start to live
the modern way. The live live mother.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Smoke and Aldam. It's America's fastest growing cigarette.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
M H.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Hello Nielson Marshall. Now I didn't expect you'd ever get
to dodge again.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Guse you thought I was dead. Marshall a long with
a lot of other people.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
You didn't look very healthy when they took you out
of here.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Now I'm still alive for a little while.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Anyway, What good is it doing you to be back here?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Well, everybody figured the fight was over, but I don't
happen to think that way.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It's a lot of trouble over nothing. You and the
Mailer brothers are good men and peaceful ones. You were drinking,
and there were some names called, but that's sure, no
reason for you to come back and stir it all
up again.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
They thought they'd kill me, Marshall, and they were proud
of it.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
I don't think they were.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Look, Jim, uh, I'd like it if you'd go back
to Abilene.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I'm not gonna do it, Marshall. I got nothing to
go back to nowhere.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
What does that mean.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
I'm gonna die from my gunfight? We had the bullets
still in me.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh, there's nothing to be done about it, No, nothing
but try and settle a score. I don't see how
you're gonna be any better off trying to kill two
good men.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Jo Marshall. It's a funny thing knowing you're gonna die.
I had too much to live for when I faced
up to him the first time. I was gonna get married,
I owned some land. Those are the things I was
thinking about. I got scared and tightened up. Man shouldn't
(10:40):
have anything to think about in a gunfight. That was
kind of hard not to But I don't have now, Marshall.
I don't have a thing to lose.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Jim, you're a bad man to have in town.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I don't be here long. You can count on that
drink with me Marshall.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
No, no, not to night.
Speaker 10 (11:06):
Thanks Neilsen here you're looking for me and my brother.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
You'll forget that Charlie and get out of here. Where
should I get out to? Marshall? You want me to
run away? Neilson? Oh Charlie?
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Is he dead?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Marshall, Yeah, he's dead.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
He was satisfied now, Neilson was a fair fight, just
like the first.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
I trusted needless, not to my way of thinking.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Tell me, Marshall, when's Charlie's brother gonna get back to town?
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Tom? Hold up a man, Tom.
Speaker 11 (12:26):
Hello, Chester, But you're doing way out here, mister Jalal
wanted me to stop you before you got up to
the plaza.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
And what for?
Speaker 7 (12:34):
Well, Jim Neilsen's waiting.
Speaker 11 (12:35):
For you, Nielson, What about my brother, Charlie's dad? Tom

Speaker 4 (12:47):

Speaker 11 (12:47):

Speaker 6 (12:50):
I thank you, Chester, thank the Marshall. Tom. You're gonna
ride in anyway. I got no place else to go here.
Speaker 7 (13:27):

exciting flavor through L and m's pure white miracle tips.

Hello, Kitty, I thought you in Clay City. I was.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
I did real well too.
Speaker 11 (15:04):
I signed up for Charlie and me take a pack
train clear to Lincoln County.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Charlie's dead.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Can I get you drink Tom?
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Maybe later? I thought Nielsen was here.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
He left about a half hour ago.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Happened to know where he went.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
No, can't you get your pack train together and go Tom?
Speaker 10 (15:26):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
You know I can't, Kitty.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
What good's it gonna do?
Speaker 8 (15:29):
You're looking for Nielsen up, waiting for him.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
It's something I got to do.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
If he kills you, what are you gonna be proving
my brother's dead? Killing Nielsen won't bring him back. Some
man ought to be killed, sure, but not you and Nielsen.
You're fine, man, both of you.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
My brother was a good man too, Kitty, What would
you have me do?
Speaker 8 (15:56):
I don't know Tom, being the kind of arm after
what's already happened. I guess I got no right trying
to tell you what to do?
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Now?
Speaker 12 (16:08):
Do you know if Nilsen figured on coming back here?
Speaker 9 (16:11):
I don't know. Tom. I'm going to my room.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
I was just about order that drink.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Then you'll have to have it without me.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Thank you for.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
Sitting with me, Kitty.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
Matt, how long have you been here?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
There's not a thing I can do as.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
A kitty, not if you don't take the guns.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Away now, they'd only find more.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
Then you watch and kill each other. Matt, I can't
do it.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Yeah, he's coming with your bill, Allchester.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It won't leave it a few minutes he was looking
for Tom again.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
All right, you get out of side someplace.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Hide your.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Afternoon, Marshall about Tom. Look to Tom.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Uh, I'm gonna ask you to do a brave thing. Well,
you let me keep your gun for as long as
you're in Tom, No, I won't, Marshall. You and I
have been good friends.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
I'd like to keep it that way.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
But you won't do what I say.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Uh, what would you do with you in my spot.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
What you're gonna do?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I guess town, it's a different kind of a fight
this time. Nielsen's gonna die from the bullet you put
it in two months ago, and he knows it. He's
got nothing to lose. I kind of wondered why he
come back. That's why. Now would he either take off
your gun or get out of town.
Speaker 12 (18:09):
I'd like to leave, Marshall. I'd like to be recognized
string of mules with Charlie. But there won't be any
more of it.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Alright, alright, Tom, I told Nielson, and I'll tell you
from the beginning this thing it's been needless. My mistake
was not throwing the three of you in jail. Right off, Marshall, Dylan,
have a drink with me. No thanks to I'm going
back to my office. Goodbye. Well Neilson. I guess there's
(19:02):
no reason trying to talk in a sense and a
you either.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
It's gone past talking, Marshall. You aren't figuring on stopping me.
There's nothing I can do. I'll see you later.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
That doc.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
How uh, there is nothing I could do for him, mad.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
He's dead. Let us seem like such a way. See
he's a good man.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Both of 'em was. There's no reason for you to
feel bad. Mad you it tried your very best to
stop it.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I'm glad there's gonna be a law about carrying guns,
and it's gonna be fights like these.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
It'll bring it.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Man got the right, mister, They're gonna lose a Chester.
This sort of thing doesn't stop, Doc, I'll.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Have the body taken away. Alright.
