He's sure a bit yourself a reputation since then. Oh yeah,
I've heard talk about you.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You don't look like a gun manol and you act
like one. Well they always said he was.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Real, soft talking and polite light. I'm proud to know you,
Madonna E. My name is Casey. How do you do,
mister Casey? Mister Casey, imagine Lou Madellan calling me, mister Casey,

Eh, mister Medella, how come you're wearing your gun in
the holster now? Always heard you carry that Louisi.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
In your belt. I can handle it both ways. Eh.
Maybe you thought people wouldn't recognize you so fast wearing
it different?
Speaker 3 (06:48):

It kind of marks a man right off carrying his
gun his belt. Yeah, yeah, I guess it does, say

I never got real acquainted with a man of your
breed before my pleasure money.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
You sure are polite, mister Medellan, No need to be otherwise.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I figured, well, one thing, you make a lot of
friends mighty fast, and I guess that's easy for a
man like you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Sometimes sometimes it did. Well, let's move over the table, gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What is it? Chester say? I've been looking all over
for you. Oh trouble, No, sure, but the sure could be.
Did you ever hear of Looma Deellon? Is he? And Tom? Yes? Sue.
He was right in the Alepher Gander there about a
hour ago. I had to beer with him. Or what's
he doing in Dodge? Do you find that out? Well,
he didn't say, mister Dillon. But he is about the
nicest politest fella you ever met. All I've heard about
(08:16):
him is he started killing people a few months ago
up in Colorado Territory. Yeah. Sure, he's a gunman. Alright,
cases I'm in a fight in the Hunter. He's with
him right now. Casey's a fool, Chester, don't you be no? Sure,
it's just that I never met nobody like him.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Oh, he's so quiet and easy going.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Sure, I think I'll have a talk with him. Chester.
Come on, say you think he's here looking for trouble,
mister Dillon man like that's always looking for trouble. Now, Yes,
I guess that's true. Alright, So I didn't. That's him
(08:56):
sitting right over there, Casey.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I've got three more days here in town before I
quit La Hunt. I said to him, I wanna know
sure that y Elowier Marshall. I guess Chester told you
who they is. Eh, It's here's loom Madellan Marshall. Hello,
Madella greatest gunman in Colorado Territory since Clay Allison went
(09:22):
to New Mexico.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah, I've heard a little about you. Mcdellon. Pretty new
at this game, aren't you yet, sir? Pretty new? Case
He didn't mention it. But my name is Dylan. I'm
a US Marshall. I represent the law in Dodger. I
know your Marsell Dylan. You're planning to stay here long? Well,
(09:47):
I don't make playing much, marcell. I thought maybe you
were here for some reason. Oh, no, no reason, none
I can think of anyway I I see. Yeah, I'd
hate to be in your shoes. You try to run
loum Medellan out of Dodge. I told Chester that you're
a fool, Casey. Now I'm telling you. Mdellen's a a
(10:12):
friend of mine. You better talk easy to shut out,
Casey Madela. This is just what I came to tell you.
Trouble breeds around a man like you. Somehow it can't
be helped, and I'm hired to keep trouble out of Dodge.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Don't worry about me, Marshall. I'm not worried about you.
But no, sure, ain't nobody gonna take loom madelon, as
there is no matter how good he is, somebody will
kill him one day.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It always happened, sooner or later. You may be Marshall.
Maybe if he starts any trouble, there's nothing to worry about. Marshall.
Don't you tell him? A man like you ain't afraid
of him, madelan tell him. I think he knows that,
don't you, Marshall. I'm a little hand at this game. Mcdellen.
(11:03):
E're you, But if you live long enough, you'll find
out that being afraid isn't what counts. No, Well, what
duh worrying about it the way you're worrying right now.
I have a feeling you've been playing lucky so far mcdullon,
but don't count on it last. And I know what
I'm doing, Marshall. What are you doing in Dodgemdellon? I
(11:26):
wanted to see the town You not alright? Oh that's
all right, But the first sign of trouble and you're
through here. Sure, Marshall. Sure.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
If your family is getting weary of the same old
(12:06):
breakfast cereal every morning, it's time to retire it and
introduce them the new sugar crinkles, say new Sugar Crinkles
is the sugar rice treat that's just right sweet. And
I'm here to tell you sugar crinkles make breakfast more
fun than a circus. Golden crisp, nuggets of sugar coated rice,
(12:27):
and every nugget in your breakfast bowl just right sweet.
Forget your experience with sugar coated cereals. It seemed too sweet,
and with others it don't seem sweet enough. Treat yourself
and your favorite family the new sugar crinkles at breakfast
time and snack time too.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
All your tecost star right you.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Lu Suggart c Sugart Crinkles, cat feet feet sugar rice beet.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Bet, just bright sweet with milk for the breakfast jove.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
That's a fact from the pack. Oh boy, just right,
we shot God. Now back to gun smoke.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I'd seen a lot of gunmen and killers in my time,
and some of them were mighty peculiar people. But the
strangest I ever run across was Blue Medelon. It wasn't
his quiet, polite manner that bothered me, but the feeling
I got that he wasn't very sure of himself or
of what he was doing. I didn't see him again
(13:52):
that day or the next until along toward evening I
was sitting in Doc's office when Chester came up and
told me he'd heard ab Fisher was in town. I'd
known Fisher some years back, and I had heard a
lot about him since, so I set out at once
to find him. Having one gunment around was better not
(14:14):
but having two meant certain trouble. You're gonna look in
the Texas trail, mister doing, I might as well try
it first as close as to me, see. Oh, why
does everything have to happen at one and nothing's happened
to yet? Chester? See him? No, Well, there's a little
(14:39):
mcdellan over there. Well, he's sitting with miss Kiddy. Mister Dion. Yeah, uh,
stay here, Chester and keep your eyes open, and.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I, Kitty, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Oh hello, man, Hello, Kitty, pull up a chair.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I sha oh, thank him.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
You look worried about something.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Man. Maybe it's because I'm sitting with his girl.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
You're sitting with me because you got the price of
a drink.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Mister, that's not very nicely, you're kiddy, Never mind, Madula,
tell me you know I have a Fisher.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Have Fisher? No adult Marshall ever heard of him? Never
even heard of him?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Good?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So long, go back.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
You sure worried about something you know he is.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Don't pay any attention to him, Kitty, have another drink.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Where'd you got all the money? You didn't have much
last night?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Casey over there, lent me shome till mine gets here.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
I've heard that story of before.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I never saw him before?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So you alluma Deli? Who are you?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Have?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
A Fisher?
Speaker 5 (15:59):
From beginning? I found this you gentlemen, will excuse me?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh what do you want?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Fisher told me you were in town. I thought i'd
like to meet you. Oh well, I'm glad to know you.
I heard about you in Denver. Oh sure, sure? You
(16:29):
say you're pretty fast?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, yes, i am.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
The delement makes me uncomfortable to be around a man
who thinks he's better than I am.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Don't feel that way. Here, I'll buy you a drink.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Put your money on the table. All right, it is,
and there's mine. I I don't understand. One of us
(17:11):
gets four drinks, the one that lives. Why drama, don't
go on talk.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
No, wait, litten, then I will.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Cut You're killing You killed Rumadylon and did you. He
didn't even draw, He never even tried. He had his chance.
He lives.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I'll give him another one anytime. Alright now, I'm gonna
have me four quick drinks. All that happened, Matt Dylan,
so it is? Don't try anything? Why should I, Matt,
you're under arrest.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I what for the telling? Lou Madellan?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
They say you drew first. He was kind of poky
about it, and I had to. She can't arrest me, Matt.
It's murderer. I case you haven't heard, Lou Macdellon's got
a price on his head. He's wandered in Denver for
he shooting a few citizens while he was robbing a bank.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Did her alive, Matt? I'll get a thousand dollars for this?
Is that true? Aunt's true? You're no good anymore, rab
But at least you never tried to lie your way
out of anything I know of.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
If it wasn't true, Matt, I'd have tried to shoot you.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'll telegraph about it. But meanwhile you'll have to sleep
in jail. Sure 'em, Matt, save me the price of
a room. O case they don't stand there, get Madellon
over the docks. Here it is, mister Dyllon. They finally
(19:08):
answered your telegraphing.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Ab Fisher's right, one thousand dollars for loom Madelon bead
Or alive in it kind of the sheriff up in Denver.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Will I tell Fisher about him? Uh? No, let him
away a while. He isn't worried anyway. I'm gonna go
up to the docks and see if Madellan's still alive. Yes,
(19:41):
how is he a doctor?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Oh well, he's alive, match much? Not for long? Can
he talk? Oh? He can talk alright, but when he goes,
he'll a little fast. There's nothing more I can do
for him. Where he got him in the back room.
I thought he'd be quiet there. Come in with me,
doctor s Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Marshal Dylan's here, mcdellan, Hello, Marshall. How you feeling Madellan? Poorly?
I ain't gonna make it, Marshal. That fella shot me
up bad. Yeah, uh, Madella, And I wanna ask her
(20:29):
something about last night. Oh then you find out. No,
I haven't found out, but maybe you'll tell me. Why
didn't you draw on that Fisher?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I I was too scared, like you said, I tried
to tell him about everything, but he shot me before
I could talk.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And that doesn't make sense. How could you have killed
all the men they say you have acting the.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Way you do, Marsel. I never killed a man in
my life. Why no, sir, I'm just a poor cowboy.
I got fired at my last job and I thought
maybe i'd find something to do around here.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It's the truth. I ran into them fellas at the bar.
They thought I was a big gun, and they gave
me a lot of respect, Marshall. I never had no
respect before from nobody.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Uh, well, I love what is your name? Coots? Wie
Coots and w Coots? And I said something was wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I guess I I look like that little midel and
don your full casey anyway, but I sure.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Couldn't act like them. I'm in bad, cheap march. I'm sorry, Coots,
that's all I first time in my life I got
me respect. But I first he's dead, mate, I'll be
(22:47):
cootso poor devil. Yeah, this is uh, it's kind of
sad man. Yeah, it's gonna be kind of sad for
ab Fisher too. No, I gotta go tell him that
he killed an innocent man, and he'll probably hang for it.
(23:12):
He's going to be mighty disappointed.

adventure on gun smoke. If you want to be a

friends mighty fast, and I guess that's easy for a
man like you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Sometimes sometimes it did. Well, let's move over the table, gentlemen.
We have our beer there, Sam Sam, mister Mendellan was
drinks brought to a table? You bet be right there?
(07:49):
Which you deal in? Which you deal in?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What is it? Chester say? I've been looking all over
for you. Oh trouble, No, sure, but the sure could be.
Did you ever hear of Looma Deellon? Is he? And Tom? Yes? Sue.
He was right in the Alepher Gander there about a
hour ago. I had to beer with him. Or what's
he doing in Dodge? Do you find that out? Well,
he didn't say, mister Dillon. But he is about the
nicest politest fella you ever met. All I've heard about
(08:16):
him is he started killing people a few months ago
up in Colorado Territory. Yeah. Sure, he's a gunman. Alright,
cases I'm in a fight in the Hunter. He's with
him right now. Casey's a fool, Chester, don't you be no? Sure,
it's just that I never met nobody like him.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Oh, he's so quiet and easy going.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Sure, I think I'll have a talk with him. Chester.
Come on, say you think he's here looking for trouble,
mister Dillon man like that's always looking for trouble. Now, Yes,
I guess that's true. Alright, So I didn't. That's him
(08:56):
sitting right over there, Casey.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I've got three more days here in town before I
quit La Hunt. I said to him, I wanna know
sure that y Elowier Marshall. I guess Chester told you
who they is. Eh, It's here's loom Madellan Marshall. Hello,
Madella greatest gunman in Colorado Territory since Clay Allison went
(09:22):
to New Mexico.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah, I've heard a little about you. Mcdellon. Pretty new
at this game, aren't you yet, sir? Pretty new? Case
He didn't mention it. But my name is Dylan. I'm
a US Marshall. I represent the law in Dodger. I
know your Marsell Dylan. You're planning to stay here long? Well,
(09:47):
I don't make playing much, marcell. I thought maybe you
were here for some reason. Oh, no, no reason, none
I can think of anyway I I see. Yeah, I'd
hate to be in your shoes. You try to run
loum Medellan out of Dodge. I told Chester that you're
a fool, Casey. Now I'm telling you. Mdellen's a a
(10:12):
friend of mine. You better talk easy to shut out,
Casey Madela. This is just what I came to tell you.
Trouble breeds around a man like you. Somehow it can't
be helped, and I'm hired to keep trouble out of Dodge.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Don't worry about me, Marshall. I'm not worried about you.
But no, sure, ain't nobody gonna take loom madelon, as
there is no matter how good he is, somebody will
kill him one day.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It always happened, sooner or later. You may be Marshall.
Maybe if he starts any trouble, there's nothing to worry about. Marshall.
Don't you tell him? A man like you ain't afraid
of him, madelan tell him. I think he knows that,
don't you, Marshall. I'm a little hand at this game. Mcdellen.
(11:03):
E're you, But if you live long enough, you'll find
out that being afraid isn't what counts. No, Well, what
duh worrying about it the way you're worrying right now.
I have a feeling you've been playing lucky so far mcdullon,
but don't count on it last. And I know what
I'm doing, Marshall. What are you doing in Dodgemdellon? I
(11:26):
wanted to see the town You not alright? Oh that's
all right, But the first sign of trouble and you're
through here. Sure, Marshall. Sure.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
If your family is getting weary of the same old
(12:06):
breakfast cereal every morning, it's time to retire it and
introduce them the new sugar crinkles, say new Sugar Crinkles
is the sugar rice treat that's just right sweet. And
I'm here to tell you sugar crinkles make breakfast more
fun than a circus. Golden crisp, nuggets of sugar coated rice,
(12:27):
and every nugget in your breakfast bowl just right sweet.
Forget your experience with sugar coated cereals. It seemed too sweet,
and with others it don't seem sweet enough. Treat yourself
and your favorite family the new sugar crinkles at breakfast
time and snack time too.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
All your tecost star right you.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Lu Suggart c Sugart Crinkles, cat feet feet sugar rice beet.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Bet, just bright sweet with milk for the breakfast jove.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
That's a fact from the pack. Oh boy, just right,
we shot God. Now back to gun smoke.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I'd seen a lot of gunmen and killers in my time,
and some of them were mighty peculiar people. But the
strangest I ever run across was Blue Medelon. It wasn't
his quiet, polite manner that bothered me, but the feeling
I got that he wasn't very sure of himself or
of what he was doing. I didn't see him again
(13:52):
that day or the next until along toward evening I
was sitting in Doc's office when Chester came up and
told me he'd heard ab Fisher was in town. I'd
known Fisher some years back, and I had heard a
lot about him since, so I set out at once
to find him. Having one gunment around was better not
(14:14):
but having two meant certain trouble. You're gonna look in
the Texas trail, mister doing, I might as well try
it first as close as to me, see. Oh, why
does everything have to happen at one and nothing's happened
to yet? Chester? See him? No, Well, there's a little
(14:39):
mcdellan over there. Well, he's sitting with miss Kiddy. Mister Dion. Yeah, uh,
stay here, Chester and keep your eyes open, and.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I, Kitty, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Oh hello, man, Hello, Kitty, pull up a chair.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I sha oh, thank him.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
You look worried about something.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Man. Maybe it's because I'm sitting with his girl.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
You're sitting with me because you got the price of
a drink.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Mister, that's not very nicely, you're kiddy, Never mind, Madula,
tell me you know I have a Fisher.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Have Fisher? No adult Marshall ever heard of him? Never
even heard of him?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Good?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So long, go back.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
You sure worried about something you know he is.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Don't pay any attention to him, Kitty, have another drink.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Where'd you got all the money? You didn't have much
last night?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Casey over there, lent me shome till mine gets here.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
I've heard that story of before.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I never saw him before?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So you alluma Deli? Who are you?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Have?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
A Fisher?
Speaker 5 (15:59):
From beginning? I found this you gentlemen, will excuse me?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh what do you want?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Fisher told me you were in town. I thought i'd
like to meet you. Oh well, I'm glad to know you.
I heard about you in Denver. Oh sure, sure? You
(16:29):
say you're pretty fast?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, yes, i am.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
The delement makes me uncomfortable to be around a man
who thinks he's better than I am.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Don't feel that way. Here, I'll buy you a drink.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Put your money on the table. All right, it is,
and there's mine. I I don't understand. One of us
(17:11):
gets four drinks, the one that lives. Why drama, don't
go on talk.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
No, wait, litten, then I will.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Cut You're killing You killed Rumadylon and did you. He
didn't even draw, He never even tried. He had his chance.
He lives.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I'll give him another one anytime. Alright now, I'm gonna
have me four quick drinks. All that happened, Matt Dylan,
so it is? Don't try anything? Why should I, Matt,
you're under arrest.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I what for the telling? Lou Madellan?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
They say you drew first. He was kind of poky
about it, and I had to. She can't arrest me, Matt.
It's murderer. I case you haven't heard, Lou Macdellon's got
a price on his head. He's wandered in Denver for
he shooting a few citizens while he was robbing a bank.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Did her alive, Matt? I'll get a thousand dollars for this?
Is that true? Aunt's true? You're no good anymore, rab
But at least you never tried to lie your way
out of anything I know of.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
If it wasn't true, Matt, I'd have tried to shoot you.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'll telegraph about it. But meanwhile you'll have to sleep
in jail. Sure 'em, Matt, save me the price of
a room. O case they don't stand there, get Madellon
over the docks. Here it is, mister Dyllon. They finally
(19:08):
answered your telegraphing.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Ab Fisher's right, one thousand dollars for loom Madelon bead
Or alive in it kind of the sheriff up in Denver.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Will I tell Fisher about him? Uh? No, let him
away a while. He isn't worried anyway. I'm gonna go
up to the docks and see if Madellan's still alive. Yes,
(19:41):
how is he a doctor?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Oh well, he's alive, match much? Not for long? Can
he talk? Oh? He can talk alright, but when he goes,
he'll a little fast. There's nothing more I can do
for him. Where he got him in the back room.
I thought he'd be quiet there. Come in with me,
doctor s Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Marshal Dylan's here, mcdellan, Hello, Marshall. How you feeling Madellan? Poorly?
I ain't gonna make it, Marshal. That fella shot me
up bad. Yeah, uh, Madella, And I wanna ask her
(20:29):
something about last night. Oh then you find out. No,
I haven't found out, but maybe you'll tell me. Why
didn't you draw on that Fisher?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I I was too scared, like you said, I tried
to tell him about everything, but he shot me before
I could talk.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And that doesn't make sense. How could you have killed
all the men they say you have acting the.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Way you do, Marsel. I never killed a man in
my life. Why no, sir, I'm just a poor cowboy.
I got fired at my last job and I thought
maybe i'd find something to do around here.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It's the truth. I ran into them fellas at the bar.
They thought I was a big gun, and they gave
me a lot of respect, Marshall. I never had no
respect before from nobody.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Uh, well, I love what is your name? Coots? Wie
Coots and w Coots? And I said something was wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I guess I I look like that little midel and
don your full casey anyway, but I sure.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Couldn't act like them. I'm in bad, cheap march. I'm sorry, Coots,
that's all I first time in my life I got
me respect. But I first he's dead, mate, I'll be
(22:47):
cootso poor devil. Yeah, this is uh, it's kind of
sad man. Yeah, it's gonna be kind of sad for
ab Fisher too. No, I gotta go tell him that
he killed an innocent man, and he'll probably hang for it.
(23:12):
He's going to be mighty disappointed.
