Around Dodge City and in the territory on West. There
is just one way to handle the killers of the spoilers,
and that's with a US Marshal and the smell of
guns smoke, gun moves, starrying William Conrad, the story of

(00:42):
the violence that moved west with young America, and the story.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Of a man who moved with it. I'm that man,
Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first man they look
for and the last they want to meet. It's a
chancey job, and that makes a man watchful and a
little lonely.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Nothing suits the lively pace of modern life better than pepsicola.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Light gracing, clean tasting pepsi.

an extra corgon of pepsicola.

two hundred dollars got it in my pocket.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
But you didn't need the money, did you.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
I gotta buy you a ring.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
Oh honey, the ring isn't important. We can get one
later when we're settled.

Speaker 7 (02:54):
Oh no, you're gonna have a ring right off.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
You don't want people to think I'm too.

Speaker 2 (02:59):

It isn't that time?

Speaker 2 (03:03):

Will I give him credit for that much sense?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Are you telling me? I can't call on Melinda when
I want.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
When I decided that, I'll show you not to tell you?

Speaker 6 (03:50):
Now stop it both of you. Paul. If you're gonna
act like this every time Tom comes out here, I'll
meet him someplace else.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
There's no need to fly off the hand. But I
got to wonder about a man who spends all this
time courting.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
Look, mister Miles, I know what you think of me,
but I'm gonna have my own ranch soon, and that's
a whole lot better than taking wages from somebody else.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Chester.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yes, ma'am, were you in the game, Well, no, but
I kindly watched it.

Speaker 6 (11:15):

Speaker 5 (11:19):
About midnight? I think he said he was on bed.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
And what time was Roy Taylor killed Marshall About one thirty?

Speaker 2 (11:27):
What are you driving that, Melinda?

Speaker 6 (11:28):
It's an hour's ride from here to Dodge, isn't it.
That's right at one o'clock. Tom Potter and I were
standing right out there by the big old talking.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'll look here in Milinda.

Speaker 6 (11:37):
It's true, Paul, and I'll swear to it in court, Marshall.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'll be riding to Dodge about noon tomorrow. Don't you
believe your own daughter? We'll see Tom couldn't have a
better alibi. But look, myles, I'll question him first thing
in the morning, and I'll do my own question in
Marshall behind a six gun. Now you know better than
that mine. Roy Taylor was a good friend of mine.
Marshall nobody's going to shoot him down like that. Can
get by with it. I'll find the man who does it.

(12:04):
Well good, I'll be at your office at noon. I
want to see him. Yeah, what do you think?

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Tom?

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Mm hmmm, that's a mighty pretty ring. Mister Joneson just
got it in that morning a week ago. One hundred dollars,
you say, at his loads? I can go, Tom, all right,
I'll take you.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Oh, be right with you, Marshall.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Wow, Oh, Marshall a.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Tom want me to put the ring in the box?

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Tomue, No, I'll take it as he is his money.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right, one hundred dollars, Thank you, one hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Something wrong, Marshall.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You went broke last night, didn't you? Oh? Oh yeah,
I see.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
I heard about Roy Tabo.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
He was robbed a little over a hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Tom, you know where I was? Marshall. Well, well, now
you probably won't believe me, so you go out and
ask me Lenda Miles.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
She'll tell you. All right, Tom, but where did you
get this money?

Speaker 3 (13:32):
I sold two of my horses this morning for a
hundred and ten dollars.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I ho did you just sell him too?

Speaker 3 (13:36):
George ran? But he left town with him an hour ago.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
And he lived seventy five miles north of here.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I sold him over to Steve or Marshall. Mars Grimmick
was there.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
And you wouldn't mind walking over there with me? Huh?
Why should it?

Speaker 7 (13:50):
Oh, mister Jonas, don't say anything about this to anybody,
will you? I wanted to be a surprised, of course.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Not Tom.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Thanks, let's go, Marshall.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
Have any luck.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
I'm afraid not. Chester. I haven't turned up anything.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
And you're eliminating Tom altogether.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
And I had to which Grimmick was there when he
sold those horses that George Ryan. Tom's in the clear.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Well, I'm kind of glad to hear it. He's a
good boy, you know, old man. My shortcand churn up
storm coming in here at noon? Did they expecting you
to have the killer already locked up?

Speaker 6 (14:51):
You think came in it when he said he'd kill
Tom if he ever come court in Melinda.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Again, Freddy said, Chester, did you tell Tom about it?

Speaker 5 (15:00):
I did?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
For all good, he'll do it? Oh my, hen, what
is it to speak of the devil?

Speaker 6 (15:07):
Look down?

Speaker 5 (15:08):
He Melinda that they're coming in here.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
Hello, ChiPT oh, Melndy Marshall, we've been looking for you.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh, it's the trouble, Melanda, Herpa, that's what's the trouble.
What's he done?

Speaker 6 (15:21):
He came home and said he'd shoot Tom on site
if he came around the place again.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
What are you doing in Tom?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
She come to find me, Marshall. She's got an idea
and it's a good one too.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
I thought it all out, Marshall. And there's only one
way to settle this business. How's that Tom's innocent? Paul
told me you're convinced of it yourself.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I don't think any court would convict him.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
Then you've got to arrest him and have him tried.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
What it's the only way, Marshall.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
He'll be found not guilty and it'll put Paul to
shame and you'll have to leave a salon. You've gotta
do it, Marshall.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Right now you agree with all this, Tom? Sure?

Speaker 8 (15:56):
I do.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Melinda's right.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
It's the only thing that'll work.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
You'll do it, Marshall, won't you?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
No, No, I can't do it. But Marshall, I'm sorry, Melinda,
but the law can't be used that way.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
Then you won't help them.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
I didn't say that I've been doing some thinking. Maybe
I'll come up with something. But meantime you get back
home and Tom, you stay away from there. I don't
want any more killings.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Come on, Melinda, I'll take you back to your horse.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
You give up off of lazy, don't you.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
I didn't say i'd given up. Come on, Chester, Sure,
I'm riding out of town for a couple of days.
What keep an eye on things here, will you?

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Yes, sir? But by jing this sure, he's a fine time.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
You'd go horseback riding?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
All I can say I need the exercise. Everybody likes

(17:10):
good news.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Since this is true, wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Expanded CBS News broadcasts find greater favor with the vast
CBS radio listening audience if they simply omitted bad news.
There's a pretty obvious answer to that one, and it
goes like this. Of course, not Expanded CBS News has
only one object to present all the important global news
swiftly and without bias.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
This takes more than just good intentions. It takes thousands
upon thousands of.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Miles of complex communications links, hundreds of skilled newsmen. There's
that matter of experience, too, the kind of experience only
years can create. In a sense, expanded CBS News is
a network within a network service, acting around the clock
to meet your need to know, to keep you informed
of important events, no matter where they happen, for longer,

(18:02):
stronger coverage of world happenings. It's expanded CBS News on
CBS Radio.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
You can depend on it.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
Chester. Is the Marshall here? No Blendy, he ain't.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
We gotta find the Marshall.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Chester. What's the matter with you two?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
What are you riding up Front Street together for?

Speaker 6 (18:41):
We decided to run away. I met Tom this afternoon
near home.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
But her paw sauce and he's right on our trail.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
He'll kill Tom, I know he will.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
You're a darn pool Tom. Mister gun told you to
keep away from her. That don't help me.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
Now you've gotta do something.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Chester, all right, get on inside the office, both of you.

Speaker 9 (19:01):
I'll lock you up and stand guard.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
He'll have to go through me first.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Oh thank you. Come on, Tom.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Now wait, I don't rightly admire be in a shop
like a wrap in a trap. Well, I don't see
you standing out in the opening facing him.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
That's unfair.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
I didn't say it was easy.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
Impart Now it's too late.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
You stand right where you are, boy, please, And.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I warned you what had happened you?

Speaker 5 (19:26):
Yeah, no, I'll wait a minute. Be from I ain't
gonna be no killing around here.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
I don't aim to kill him here.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
I'm gonna take him out on the prairie.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Give him an even chance with me. No, I ain't.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
I ain't even gonna let you do that.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
You can't very well stop me Chester. Oh, mister Dylon,
what's going on here? Nothing? You're gonna stop Marshall.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
He's about to kill Tom Marshall.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
He's not gotta kill anybody. Come out, Tom. I got
right up to George runs what he told me to
give you this? What you wanted to be sure you
got your money? No, it isn't mine. He don't know me.
Think yes, it does. One hundred and ten dollars. He

(20:09):
said he'd pay you in a couple of weeks. You
remember here it is he paid me. Bless you? What
is all this, Marshall? I remember Moss Grimmick saying he
didn't actually see any money change in hands that day.
Oh he don't. Melinda. You got word into Tom about
the alibi you'd set up for him. Didn't you well,

(20:30):
didn't you?

Speaker 6 (20:33):
Yes, the cook's helper. I woke him up and made
him ride into town with a note before dawn.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Melnda Miles, I expected was Tom who shut Roy Taylor?
After all? I knew it. I knew it all along.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
You know too much.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
You won't be you don't come and get me right,
all right? Chesster take him in, unlock him up. Yes, come,
why he was going to shoot me? You can be
thankful he didn't. That is going to be needing you

(21:13):
now more than ever. You're right, Marshall, Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
M hm.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Come on, Melinda, this time we went home. Hi. This

(21:58):
is Dennis James to make a point about reliable, effective
Kellogg's All brand. Repeat after me, please, What do you
want when you need brand? What do you want when
you need brand reliability?

Speaker 6 (22:12):
Rely, verity?

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Now?

Speaker 2 (22:14):
What do you get in Kellogg's All Brand?

Speaker 5 (22:16):
What do you get in Calloggs All brand reliability?

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Right? You see Kellogg's All Brand as the reliable brand
that millions depend on or the effectiveness they want. It's
the real battle Creek formula that brings you more brand
bulk in every serving, more of the vital brand bulk
that helps you keep regular. Kellogg's All Brand is also
low in calories and mighty pleasant tasting. You can truss
Kelloggs for that. The crisp toasted shreds have the kind

(22:44):
of good brand muffin flavor that most folks are partial to.
So next time you are shopping, get Kellogg's All Brand
and you'll get reliability.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
That's what you get in Jelogs.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
All Reliability guns.
