Speaker 6 (03:52):
You're the law here and we'll believe you.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well, that was commanche country, Yeah, but it isn't anymore.
I thought if a single Indian's been seen down there
for two or three years, her all on the reservation?
Speaker 8 (04:03):
Now is that the truth?
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Marshall, you swear that's the truth.

Well, you can go out to Fort Dodge and that's
the army.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
They will tell you no, No, he'll believe you.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Well, you can believe bob Ora and he's lived there
quite a while.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Marshall used to see buyo bye good bye.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Ain't you taking a little too much responsibility for that?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Mister Doolan, What do you mean, Chester?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Well, how can you say?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Ever?
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Command in the country's on that reservation. I think they're
taking a big chance. Maybe Bob Arran ain't seen none,
but that don't mean nothing, not when it comes to Indians.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Her chance in the weather too, Chester, and they know it.
Speaker 6 (04:56):

Speaker 3 (06:05):
It's only one grave. It's not very deep either, just
a few inches.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
You gonna dig it up.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I gotta find out who it is Chester.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Oh you mean if it's mister Jobs, then they took
her alive.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yeah, but Comanches wouldn't bury nobody, mister Dillon, No, they wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (06:32):

Speaker 6 (06:33):

Yeah, well, where's mister Jalap? You think they took him presoner?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I don't know, Chester, but look sharp now, we don't
want to get us.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You've heard Bobby Haggard whistling it on radio and television
right now, A country style version, Okay, Partners.
Speaker 11 (07:29):
Packs more pleasure, packs more pleasure. Chesterfield packs more pleasure
because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It stands to reason a cigarette made better and packed
better smokes better, tastes better, and Chesterfield is more perfectly packed.
By Accurrae, this electronic miracle removes human error in cigarette manufacture.
So Acurae Chesterfield is firm and pleasing to the lips,
mild yet deeply satisfying. Yes, Chester fel It gives you
(08:00):
something no other cigarette can give you.
Speaker 11 (08:03):
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Packed to the touch, to the taste. Chesterfield packs more
pleasure because it's more perfectly packed by Chesterfield mild, Yet
they satisfied the most.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
That's time to the rail hair chest.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
I see, Bob Bline pretty lucky. It doesn't look like
an Indian has been anywhere's near here.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
From the tracks that the jobs. There was a small party.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Well, I know, but that wouldn't keep from coming over here.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Only a big party. He'll get every ranch chest to
small one attacks and then rides on for miles before
trying it again. I went a minute, what, uh it's footprints.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Well, there's lots of put prints all over. Yeah, come on,
(09:38):
I guess your anna home.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
He's gotta bed. And you notice that saddled horse in
his corral.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
You gonna walk right in, all right?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I arerun, Marshall, dullon, all right.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I told you there ain't nobody here, mister Dillon.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I look at the kitchen. Chiir, he's here.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Chester White joined he's been scalped too, a bullet hole
in his chest, who then commanded he was hereafter.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
You don't know who they scalping? Didn't he?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Do you have a head of Indians killing a man
and not setting fire to his place?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
No, I guess I never did.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
There are three horses in that corral. Even drunk an
Indian wouldn't leave a horse behind.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Yeah, but he's been scalping.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Anybody with a sharp knife can scalp a man Chester.
You don't have to be an Indian to do that.
What do you mean outside those tracks? I stopped to
look at. They're made by a man wearing boots about
the biggest boots I ever saw?
Speaker 6 (10:52):
You thinking, will jalp those tracks?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Aren't born two days old and barber and hasn't been
dead any longer.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Yeah, but Jalap wouldn't come scalping me.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The Comanches killed his wife Chester. We don't know what
happened to him, but my guess is he's alive. The
Indians don't take male prisoners his age.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
But that don't say he done this to Barbons, just that.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
There are only two people who told Jalap and his
wife they'd be safe out here. Oran was one of 'em.
Jalap's wife gets killed, He escaped somehow and comes here
to take his revenge. He did the Oran with the
Comanches did to her.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
It's awful hard to believe, mister Dill.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
He wouldn't be the first man driven crazy with grief.
Maybe and if it's true and the next on his list.
When we get back to Dodge and an idea, Jalap
will be there waiting for me evening then Hello, kiddie. Ah,
(12:04):
any coffee left in that part?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
And he's an extra coups. He looked tired.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Ah, we rode all night, Kitty. Huh, I haven't been
the bed yet.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Uh. No, Jessa came in the long brunch No luck
huh ah, not so far. You could be wrong about him, Matt.
Jallap might be in Colorado but noth.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Maybe he might have killed Bob Oran.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Sure, kind of hard to believe it, kind of Dodge
looking to scalp a gun bear on us.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Marshall.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Hell, I'm beginning to think maybe you're right, Kitty. Maybe
I made a mistake about the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
But somebody killed on Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
They should have. Yes, I better go out there and
have another look around with all those commanders on the
war put No there are only three or four of 'em, kiddies,
some young braves who would jump reservation last week?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
How do you know that?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I reported the whole business a major honeymoon at Fort Dodge.
He told me about it.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Oh even so, isn't he doing anything about him?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
He put a company a troopers in the field.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Sure, all they'll do is kick up a lot of dust.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Probably, Well, kitty, I think I'll turn in for a
couple of hours. I need some sleep.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
The best idea you had yet?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
What Chester comes in? Will you tell him I've gone
to my room? How did you say, kid?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, yes, I did.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I come in just after you left. I've been trying
to catch you before you got to your room.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Here.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Oh what is it? Did you find him?
Speaker 7 (14:07):

Speaker 6 (14:08):
Now, Uh, what I wanted to know is could I
get some sleep too?
Speaker 3 (14:13):

Speaker 6 (04:05):

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well, you can go out to Fort Dodge and that's
the army.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
They will tell you no, No, he'll believe you.
Speaker 3 (04:12):

quite a while.
Speaker 6 (04:15):

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Well, I'll brave it.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
All right. I've got a ride down your way in
a few weeks. Uh, you don't mind, I'll come by

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh, you'll be welcome.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Marshall used to see buyo bye good bye.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Ain't you taking a little too much responsibility for that?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Mister Doolan, What do you mean, Chester?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Well, how can you say?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Ever?
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Command in the country's on that reservation. I think they're
taking a big chance. Maybe Bob Arran ain't seen none,
but that don't mean nothing, not when it comes to Indians.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Her chance in the weather too, Chester, and they know it.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
No, maybe so, but I'm glad it wasn't me. Told
him m I thought the old Matthew place was riding
(05:16):
them cottonwoods.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Mister Jones yard was on the jobs. Must have moved
to ashore. Don't seen no house?
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Look closer, Yeah, there's something there.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, why it's all tore down.
Speaker 10 (05:29):
It's just a heap.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Mister Jone has been burned.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
They've had a fire out here, looks that way.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
I don't see nobody around.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
No, let's have a look, my s.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Sure ain't much left, is he?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Oh there's this it's an arrow, uh command you? And
there's another one half burned.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Oh my goodness. Hey, look at there, mister Dillon. Somebody
made a grave. It's fresh dug too, But.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It's only one grave. It's not very deep either, just
a few inches.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
You gonna dig it up.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I gotta find out who it is Chester.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Oh you mean if it's mister Jobs, then they took
her alive.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yeah, but Comanches wouldn't bury nobody, mister Dillon, No, they wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Her.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
She mean scalped. Oh ain't that awful.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I will have to bury her proper, Chester, and we'll
ride over to Bob Oren's. Maybe they got him too.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Yeah, well, where's mister Jalap? You think they took him presoner?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I don't know, Chester, but look sharp now, we don't
want to get us.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You've heard Bobby Haggard whistling it on radio and television
right now, A country style version, Okay, Partners.
Speaker 11 (07:29):
Packs more pleasure, packs more pleasure. Chesterfield packs more pleasure
because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It stands to reason a cigarette made better and packed
better smokes better, tastes better, and Chesterfield is more perfectly packed.
By Accurrae, this electronic miracle removes human error in cigarette manufacture.
So Acurae Chesterfield is firm and pleasing to the lips,
mild yet deeply satisfying. Yes, Chester fel It gives you
(08:00):
something no other cigarette can give you.
Speaker 11 (08:03):
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Packed to the touch, to the taste. Chesterfield packs more
pleasure because it's more perfectly packed by Chesterfield mild, Yet
they satisfied the most.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
That's time to the rail hair chest.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
I see, Bob Bline pretty lucky. It doesn't look like
an Indian has been anywhere's near here.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
From the tracks that the jobs. There was a small party.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Well, I know, but that wouldn't keep from coming over here.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Only a big party. He'll get every ranch chest to
small one attacks and then rides on for miles before
trying it again. I went a minute, what, uh it's footprints.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Well, there's lots of put prints all over. Yeah, come on,
(09:38):
I guess your anna home.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
He's gotta bed. And you notice that saddled horse in
his corral.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
You gonna walk right in, all right?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I arerun, Marshall, dullon, all right.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I told you there ain't nobody here, mister Dillon.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I look at the kitchen. Chiir, he's here.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Chester White joined he's been scalped too, a bullet hole
in his chest, who then commanded he was hereafter.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
You don't know who they scalping? Didn't he?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Do you have a head of Indians killing a man
and not setting fire to his place?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
No, I guess I never did.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
There are three horses in that corral. Even drunk an
Indian wouldn't leave a horse behind.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Yeah, but he's been scalping.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Anybody with a sharp knife can scalp a man Chester.
You don't have to be an Indian to do that.
What do you mean outside those tracks? I stopped to
look at. They're made by a man wearing boots about
the biggest boots I ever saw?
Speaker 6 (10:52):
You thinking, will jalp those tracks?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Aren't born two days old and barber and hasn't been
dead any longer.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Yeah, but Jalap wouldn't come scalping me.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The Comanches killed his wife Chester. We don't know what
happened to him, but my guess is he's alive. The
Indians don't take male prisoners his age.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
But that don't say he done this to Barbons, just that.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
There are only two people who told Jalap and his
wife they'd be safe out here. Oran was one of 'em.
Jalap's wife gets killed, He escaped somehow and comes here
to take his revenge. He did the Oran with the
Comanches did to her.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
It's awful hard to believe, mister Dill.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
He wouldn't be the first man driven crazy with grief.
Maybe and if it's true and the next on his list.
When we get back to Dodge and an idea, Jalap
will be there waiting for me evening then Hello, kiddie. Ah,
(12:04):
any coffee left in that part?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
And he's an extra coups. He looked tired.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Ah, we rode all night, Kitty. Huh, I haven't been
the bed yet.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Uh. No, Jessa came in the long brunch No luck
huh ah, not so far. You could be wrong about him, Matt.
Jallap might be in Colorado but noth.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Maybe he might have killed Bob Oran.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Sure, kind of hard to believe it, kind of Dodge
looking to scalp a gun bear on us.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Marshall.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Hell, I'm beginning to think maybe you're right, Kitty. Maybe
I made a mistake about the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
But somebody killed on Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
They should have. Yes, I better go out there and
have another look around with all those commanders on the
war put No there are only three or four of 'em, kiddies,
some young braves who would jump reservation last week?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
How do you know that?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I reported the whole business a major honeymoon at Fort Dodge.
He told me about it.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Oh even so, isn't he doing anything about him?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
He put a company a troopers in the field.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Sure, all they'll do is kick up a lot of dust.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Probably, Well, kitty, I think I'll turn in for a
couple of hours. I need some sleep.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
The best idea you had yet?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
What Chester comes in? Will you tell him I've gone
to my room? How did you say, kid?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, yes, I did.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I come in just after you left. I've been trying
to catch you before you got to your room.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Here.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Oh what is it? Did you find him?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
No, sir?
Speaker 6 (14:08):
Now, Uh, what I wanted to know is could I
get some sleep too?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I court chancer? I thought you understood that.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
And then I'll go back to the office and lay
down there.

I left her cowered.

Terrible.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
I mean it was terrible, but I fixed bab Oorn
for it. He told me to was safe out there.
Now I'm going to fix you and to take you
right down by the river Marsh. You're going to fix
you there. You just make one move on the way
and I'll leave you in two big pieces.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Now you walk, Say where are you listening to gun

smoke in your car? Getting ready for dinner?

Oh? I see, just relaxing in your favorite easy chair. Well,
i'd say you're in a good spot right now to
really enjoy a Chesterfield. You see, Chesterfield packs more pleasure
because it's more perfectly packed. It stands to reason a
cigarette made better and packed better, smokes better, tastes better,
(16:46):
and Chesterfield is more perfectly packed by Acurae. This electronic
miracle removes human error in cigarette manufacture. So Accurae Chesterfield
is firm and pleasing to the lip, Mild yet deeply satisfied. Yes,
