Yes, sir, he's breathing uh straight alcohol and just meant
like bad whiskey.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Hurt. I don't think, Silchester, he hasn't been shot anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Do you think he is with the other two that
rode out of town?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't know. Maybe we better put him away for
the night so we can ask him in the morning.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
All right, I don't take them breakfast things go ahead.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You didn't do much eating.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
They sets a feeding hog.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Alright, now, used your hold on there.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I cooked that up myself.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
I wouldn't brag on it none.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, sleeping it off Raine. Help your disposition, man, I'll
say that for you or I been cooking up the
food around here ever here before you get.
Speaker 5 (03:43):

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I was a trouble Truster.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Oh well, it ain't exactly trouble.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's done. But that prisoner says my food ain't good
enough for him nor for Hog.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They probably doesn't feel very good just the night, after
all our whiskey drink last night. Anyway, you can't suit everybody,
especially without food.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, now, all my cooking ain't all that bad, eh,
I'll just step these things out front, miss Done. It's alright.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
You uh be back and wash him up in a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Oh where you going?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I thought I might go get me some breakfast over
to del Monte.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Cause to tend the truths that stuff I cooked.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
This morning fit for Hog.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
I'm looking for the marshall you finally he's Marshall doing.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Come on out, my sir. What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
You've got my boy locked up here? Oh oh yes,
Dames just higher Crandell, Yeah, he's locked up. Crandell don't
belong in jail.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
We're not particular around here, mister Crandall that. We don't
care what a man's name is.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
He found him lying on the street last night. We
dragged him here.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
Eric, No, you catch him in the act of violence.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Now, I was too far gone for that, and you
ain't got no case against him. Look, mister Crandell, I
know the law. I also know that anytime a man
is lying that drunk in the streets of Dodge, I
got a right to lock him up, whatever his name is.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
I ain't come here to argue you're right, Markhof And
suppose you told me what you did. Come for you
find out what he's done, Catch him home when you
threw with him, Keep him away from this place.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
It's full of trouble and violence.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
He's a grown man, mister Crandell. Might be hard to do.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
I'll do it, Oh, somebody sure listening to me? Marshall.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I spent the last year's of mine making sure his
two brothers dead. The violence won, the war won the barroom.
I packed up and wrung this bar west. When he
was little, I wanted him to grow up peaceful. I
ain't aiming to let him get away again. I'll keep
(06:18):
him out of town, Marshall. Since you worry nothing about.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That, you figure to hold a pretty tight rain on him.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
If I do, that's my affair, Yeah, I guess it is.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'll let him out of Mister Crondall, his son hasn't
done anything to make me keep him here any longer.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
You won't be coming back.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Well, I'll be here, mister Crondall. That's in case he does.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
And Kitty, uh, whatever happens that funny little whiskey drummer
m I mean, you know what was his name.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Hank will It.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's it job.
Speaker 9 (07:10):
I tell him to try and peddle that bad whiskey
at the other places. We have enough sell on the
Long Branch, and when we sell good stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But the last decent.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Whisky I drank was the day Lincoln dies, and the
core didn't come from.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Behind that bar.
Speaker 9 (07:25):
Well, if you hate the Long Branch so much, Dock,
I don't see why you spend so much time with
Kitty Kitty.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
He doesn't mind it a bet. He's just an old
ornary grox and he's gotta complain about something. And there
wasn't a whiskey to be the heat. There wasn't a
heater to be flies flies.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Well, I tell you wanna think for sure, But but
there's nothing bigger and meaner than a Kansas boat block.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
How about another bear docs might make you feel better?
Speaker 8 (07:50):
No, no, no, I've had my Custer put today. I
got things to do. I can't sit around on Yeah
you coming back?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And no, doc, I think I was stay here for
a little while. Ooh, enforcing the law and the long branch,
you know, doubt, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Some people have work to do for a living.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So oh see the lady kiddy, I ride down a
long guard.
Speaker 9 (08:19):

mighty little Foot. Yeah, well, I guess I'll go and

Speaker 7 (09:16):
Listen, Marshall, A man's got a right to find out
about trouble for himself anyway.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
It don't make no difference on what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Ain't nothing I can do with the old man. Don't
think of his trouble. You don't want me off the place.
You don't want me where he can't see me. He
don't want me to do nothing.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, sir, he's breathing uh straight alcohol and just meant
like bad whiskey.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Hurt. I don't think, Silchester, he hasn't been shot anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Do you think he is with the other two that
rode out of town?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't know. Maybe we better put him away for
the night so we can ask him in the morning.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
All right, I don't take them breakfast things go ahead.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You didn't do much eating.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
They sets a feeding hog.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Alright, now, used your hold on there.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I cooked that up myself.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
I wouldn't brag on it none.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, sleeping it off Raine. Help your disposition, man, I'll
say that for you or I been cooking up the
food around here ever here before you get.
Speaker 5 (03:43):

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Oh well, any good enough for anybody?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
What he say? Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
He good enough for anybody.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I was a trouble Truster.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Oh well, it ain't exactly trouble.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's done. But that prisoner says my food ain't good
enough for him nor for Hog.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They probably doesn't feel very good just the night, after
all our whiskey drink last night. Anyway, you can't suit everybody,
especially without food.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, now, all my cooking ain't all that bad, eh,
I'll just step these things out front, miss Done. It's alright.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
You uh be back and wash him up in a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Oh where you going?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I thought I might go get me some breakfast over
to del Monte.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Cause to tend the truths that stuff I cooked.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
This morning fit for Hog.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
I'm looking for the marshall you finally he's Marshall doing.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Come on out, my sir. What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
You've got my boy locked up here? Oh oh yes,
Dames just higher Crandell, Yeah, he's locked up. Crandell don't
belong in jail.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
We're not particular around here, mister Crandall that. We don't
care what a man's name is.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
He found him lying on the street last night. We
dragged him here.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
Eric, No, you catch him in the act of violence.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Now, I was too far gone for that, and you
ain't got no case against him. Look, mister Crandell, I
know the law. I also know that anytime a man
is lying that drunk in the streets of Dodge, I
got a right to lock him up, whatever his name is.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
I ain't come here to argue you're right, Markhof And
suppose you told me what you did. Come for you
find out what he's done, Catch him home when you
threw with him, Keep him away from this place.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
It's full of trouble and violence.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
He's a grown man, mister Crandell. Might be hard to do.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
I'll do it, Oh, somebody sure listening to me? Marshall.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I spent the last year's of mine making sure his
two brothers dead. The violence won, the war won the barroom.
I packed up and wrung this bar west. When he
was little, I wanted him to grow up peaceful. I
ain't aiming to let him get away again. I'll keep
(06:18):
him out of town, Marshall. Since you worry nothing about.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That, you figure to hold a pretty tight rain on him.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
If I do, that's my affair, Yeah, I guess it is.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'll let him out of Mister Crondall, his son hasn't
done anything to make me keep him here any longer.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
You won't be coming back.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Well, I'll be here, mister Crondall. That's in case he does.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
And Kitty, uh, whatever happens that funny little whiskey drummer
m I mean, you know what was his name.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Hank will It.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's it job.
Speaker 9 (07:10):
I tell him to try and peddle that bad whiskey
at the other places. We have enough sell on the
Long Branch, and when we sell good stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But the last decent.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Whisky I drank was the day Lincoln dies, and the
core didn't come from.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Behind that bar.
Speaker 9 (07:25):
Well, if you hate the Long Branch so much, Dock,
I don't see why you spend so much time with
Kitty Kitty.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
He doesn't mind it a bet. He's just an old
ornary grox and he's gotta complain about something. And there
wasn't a whiskey to be the heat. There wasn't a
heater to be flies flies.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Well, I tell you wanna think for sure, But but
there's nothing bigger and meaner than a Kansas boat block.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
How about another bear docs might make you feel better?
Speaker 8 (07:50):
No, no, no, I've had my Custer put today. I
got things to do. I can't sit around on Yeah
you coming back?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And no, doc, I think I was stay here for
a little while. Ooh, enforcing the law and the long branch,
you know, doubt, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Some people have work to do for a living.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So oh see the lady kiddy, I ride down a
long guard.
Speaker 9 (08:19):
You know it wouldn't hurt him to sit around and
waste time for what.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I guess it wouldn't. Kiddy Dark works apple hard, get
mighty little Foot. Yeah, well, I guess I'll go and
get that beer. Uh you want one?

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Is your father know you're here?
Speaker 8 (09:12):
What if you don't, you may be in the trouble.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Listen, Marshall, A man's got a right to find out
about trouble for himself anyway.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
It don't make no difference on what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Ain't nothing I can do with the old man. Don't
think of his trouble. You don't want me off the place.
You don't want me where he can't see me. He
don't want me to do nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Or maybe he thinks sister is a way to keep
you alive.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
This ain't being alive, not much in any Yeah. Well,

ain't gonna stay here and listen to no lectures. I'm
