Speaker 4 (02:05):
Told him, Well, Marshall, this fool Dutchman messed up my
pony and then he wants to get paid on top
of it.

Maybe it's a stone bruise.

Now Marshall, I will take Gretchen to the hotel coming
here again.
Speaker 2 (07:53):

Speaker 3 (08:00):
She seems a little scared, doesn't she?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Mad? Oh Doc, she took a chance on coming out here.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yeah, I was sold to name him. Getting married to
a mail or of the bride like buying a pig
and a pope. You can't be sure till it's too
late and awful. Come on, Matt, this is an excuse
for some sort of a celebration.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I'll buy a glass of rye.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Hey you too, Chester, all right, Doc, since you're buying,
you know, I.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Was just thinking she's so little and name was so big.
I hope he don't take it into his mind.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
To beat her.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
None amos about the gentlest man I've ever known Chester.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Besides, Chester men don't always beat their wives.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
My paw did.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Sam set out some glasses, and the bottle of rye
was hidden.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
And then where the stage comes in a few minutes ago,
I see where it gets yourself a gap going out.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Of my newspaper, and Gil told me.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
All we need around here now there's two We are
a tarn feather, the.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Both of them. And send him on that way.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You and Chester wait here.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Good for foreigners that they trying to take over the town.

Dodge no more, Marshall.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
That when he's thinking that way, he told me.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
This is between wol Hater and me.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
There's nothing to do with the law.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
It's got a lot to do with me, Tolman.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Now you drink up and get out, and you take
Spooner and Wooly here with you.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Not just a man to me, all of you.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Balld Hater's trying to mind his own business. And if
there's any trouble, I don't know who started us, and
he will go to jail.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You saying you're gonna lock me up.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Told them if any ol wol Hater ever gets mad enough,
he will kill you with his bare hands.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Now leave him and his girl alone.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Girl why she's probably not a bottler.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
All right, Tolman. E and Spooner carry Willie out of here. Okay, Marshall,

Did you know Amo Woolheater has been just standing across
the plaza there all morning?
Speaker 6 (17:56):
He's waiting, Jesse, waiting that Saturday, and Homan always comes

You think he's sent him any good.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
He's a good blacksmith Chester. If he trimmed up his
feet right before he reset those shoes, he gotta be fine.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Funny the way he took throwing his fore leg.

More than after I got him home. He was so
lame he couldn't walk. I'll break your hands.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
If it was my fault, something I did wrong.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Don't pay me anything that SAME's fair enough.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Told him, Well, Marshall, this fool Dutchman messed up my
pony and then he wants to get paid on top
of it.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Maybe it's a stone bruise.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
A stone bruise, Marshall, it's pitched feet.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
That's what is that? The horse you're talking about? Right?
Speaker 4 (02:23):

Amo. Why is Tolman hur on you?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (03:13):

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Who knows I'll ask him to settle his bill with

get rich if you aren't paid.

She seems a little scared, doesn't she?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Mad? Oh Doc, she took a chance on coming out here.

late and awful. Come on, Matt, this is an excuse
for some sort of a celebration.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I'll buy a glass of rye.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Hey you too, Chester, all right, Doc, since you're buying,
you know, I.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Was just thinking she's so little and name was so big.
I hope he don't take it into his mind.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
To beat her.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
None amos about the gentlest man I've ever known Chester.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Besides, Chester men don't always beat their wives.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
My paw did.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Sam set out some glasses, and the bottle of rye
was hidden.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
And then where the stage comes in a few minutes ago,
I see where it gets yourself a gap going out.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Of my newspaper, and Gil told me.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
All we need around here now there's two We are
a tarn feather, the.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Both of them. And send him on that way.
Speaker 5 (09:00):

Speaker 4 (09:29):
This is between wol Hater and me.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
There's nothing to do with the law.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
It's got a lot to do with me, Tolman.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Now you drink up and get out, and you take
Spooner and Wooly here with you.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Not just a man to me, all of you.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Balld Hater's trying to mind his own business. And if
there's any trouble, I don't know who started us, and
he will go to jail.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You saying you're gonna lock me up.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Told them if any ol wol Hater ever gets mad enough,
he will kill you with his bare hands.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Now leave him and his girl alone.
Speaker 3 (10:04):

Speaker 5 (10:12):
All right, Tolman. E and Spooner carry Willie out of here. Okay, Marshall,

Do you want more confident? Don't?
Speaker 5 (17:47):
No, no, no, thanks Jesse.

Did you know Amo Woolheater has been just standing across
the plaza there all morning?
Speaker 6 (17:56):
He's waiting, Jesse, waiting that Saturday, and Homan always comes
