he's not over it yet. I ain't said you sympathetic.
Maybe you'd like to take his place. I'm not begging

(07:20):
for the chance. Newton. You make it mighty tough for
any man you fight. I came into town for fun,
not bruised, and back off from it. Hard to see me,
he said, of this thing, why not just check for that?
Because I wouldn't like it that way, but I would,
And I'm set on making my point that Newton, he
set on making his point. He's wearing guns to push it.

(07:41):
Who's your friend, Nude? I don't believe I'm knowing polk
Meyer's hoppy. He's a gunman from the border country. Make
it speak for myself. Ain't backward saying you ain't perping
his brow? Cassidy, Stop working yourself off, Hope, nothing knowing

I think of it, I'm glad you moved in on this.
You're a big man around here, Isn't it got quite

(08:03):
a reputation for yourself. What are you looking for, Hope?
A cheap kill? You won't find any bargains in this town.
You could even get the short end of the parade,
and that's a mighty permanent condition. A big man with
a big reputation. Well, I'm asking you're not to try it, Hope.
I'm blessed in that repetition. Here now lude joke. Oh,

(08:26):
I got you, Hope. Might as well lay him down, dude,
might as well lay him down gently. Sorry, I hope.
I've just found any bargains in this town. I'm on California.
Let's go over to mob Fis for the lodging. Oh,
one thing, happy, watch out for Damlin. She's generates a
lot of hate. He's gonna turn it all on you.

(08:48):
Take care of yourself. That's the whole lest part, except
for some chewing the back of a chunk of the cook.
We'll pick it all up first thing in the morning.
See you later. Oh oh, excuse me, ma am. I

(09:13):
just wasn't watching where I was going. Yeah, you weren't happy. Hello,
that's the hardest thing. I'm really sorry about bumping the
young lady.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I'm sure it's all right, and he's Carlisle.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
This is half a long cassidy. How do you do? Man?

Speaker 3 (09:27):
I haven't seen my son around.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Have you happy with him? Half an hour ago? That's
been at the Colorado Saloon. I've come to think of it,
maybe you're a better bit of what we want that
are hop alone cast. He knows that country. We was
just discussing this, Carlile. He could probably do.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
More for you than anyone else.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
What you help.

Speaker 7 (09:49):
I ain't never heard him turn anybody down. Yet we
woke gover to the Clarion officis with his cassidy. There's
something we'd like to talk over with you, and that's
the gist of it.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Happy. This boy is this Carlyle's brother back in Dodge City.
They had posed proof he didn't commit the crime that
put him on the rooms. If you could only see him,
you'd know that, mister caffidy, I've already seen their brother's photograph, Carlyle.
You have where on a reward poster for the postal department.
Oh so it's come to that.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
But I swear Jim had nothing to do with the robbery.
He's head song wild even He's always been ready to fight,
but he'd never commit a robbery.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
How do you think I can help? You know that?
Bim rock Country Happy, that's where we think he's hiding out.
How do you know Jim got to let it.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Through to me describing where he is mister, how does
he recognize his thoughts?

Speaker 1 (10:52):
For my description of it?

Speaker 5 (10:53):
He's you could find Jim for me and tell him
to come home. I'd be ever laughingly grateful. I'm afraid
that the Tim keeps on the run.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
He might do something dest You want me to talk
him into going back to Dodge City or maybe even
standing fire.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
I'm telling you won't even have to stand trial.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I can promise him that. All right, I can find
him out talk to him. I knew you'd say that, Huppy.
And now if you don't mind, I'll run along. Oh,
if you come into town off, Huppy, maybe you could
straighten things out for met me. That seems that he's
fronting about something, as though he's under a string. I

(11:30):
guess the paper hasn't been the financial success that's not expected,
probably because I've been playing the Reformer a little too heavily.
Maybe I've been stubborn about it. I began to realize
that the reform editorials can cost the paper of friends
and business. I guess that's stuff was sort of like
giving people medicine something they ought to have but they hate,

(11:52):
like blazers to take it. Yeah, see what you mean? Yeah,
I've been impatient. I wanted to see it come in
my time. But yeah, let me help you out.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
You're wrestling, all right, but explosion, yes it is. He
see what happened?

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Post office just threw all the spirit of Green Post Office.
Because what hasn't been by on his way home, he
must have been in it.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh back to half a long Cassidy and the bandit
of Black and Ben. A heavy explosion has just jarred
Black and Bend, bringing everyone.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
In town panting to the scene.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Now, a massive smoldering embers served as the total remains
of what had once did in the United States Post Office.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
How about it, Marshall, what's the story live Watkins?

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Well, it's bad. He was waiting to put a shipment
of money on the stage.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
In there, Jesus founded Marshall. The body, Yeah, don't lie,
all right, you better take missus stipe away. Tom Levitt
recognized that else too, fly God warned his watch Jeane.
How about the bark? No sign of it. We went
through the member like rat to a green bin. What's
this about a bark? Marshall?

Speaker 3 (13:22):
A metal chest was scheduled to go out on tonight's.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Stage Money about ten thousands in bills.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
What's that about?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Money begins to look like this was a robbery, mister Hardessey,
with a thief covering himself by blowing up the place,
which would make it murder as well as robbery.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
That's right, And I don't have an idea in the
world as to who might have done it.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I have an idea, I have a good idea.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
But murder is murdering.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
I told you.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I can't condone murder, Miss Carlyle, no matter I know
what condition I heard your story. What is it? I
know the suspect, Marshalls, If you don't show you the
man who's hiding up in the rim Rock Country, he
was accused of my post office robbery and Dodd City
only a.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Few weeks ago, didn't do it.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
I explained about that.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Then. I'm afraid I can no longer accept your story.
Want together, Pasty started Marshall's.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
I guess we'd better start wrapping up men.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Pete, All right, man, we'll go. How about it? Happy?
Do you know that rim Rock country? Well? All right, Marshall, mister.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
Kesidy, you're my only hope.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
There's something who's got to see before you go. Please
come to boarding house. I can give you proof about
my brother.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
But the way it looks.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
All right, Marshall, I'll need a few minutes, all right, Happy,
we'll be gathering in front of the saloons for Texas.
Don't take long. So soon as we're start, the better
chance we have of coming up with that feller.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
You've just got to talk to those men out of
the idea that Jim.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
If they come up from me, he'll fight and then'll killing.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Maybe he can be talked out of fighting. I'd better
take off my gun. You know my fifill stand for
guns coming into her house.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
I have the letter upstairs, mister Cassidy.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
If you're waiting the part.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
How you wanna?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Aeroli rails home along. Cassidy ain't showed up yet, macaol.
Maybe you don't want to show up.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
He knows that country we need it. I'll get him
for you, but i'd get a slicker Mark had a
little food. That's a good idea, might be a long pool.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Where's Hoppy?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
He'll be along. I just sent Loot Damon for him.
You said, who damonin? Why? Well has he been deputized? Yeah,

(16:34):
come on, you're old looking funny. I'll be along Diamon
in just a few minutes. I ain't got nothing to
do that's that important. Hey, you ain't wearing your guns.
Nobody wears guns in this house. My firefoom, it's on
your mind, damning. So you ain't wearing good You don't
think I'm gonna pass up a chance like this to

(16:55):
this meaning what, I'm a deputy marshal. Oh, legal was
tempt to bring you over to the posse. If you
say you won't come, you're resisting an officer, and that
gives me the right. I haven't said I wouldn't come.
I didn't hear it that way, Cassidy, I didn't hear
it that way at all. You're excited over nothing, man

(17:25):
hoo boy, Well here we are now.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
The fighting men.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, then, separator, you must have been right.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Man here, somebody have to get my hip office man
here comes talking.

Speaker 8 (17:42):
Now what happened asciity did, Grammond nodding, Saya's dam gone
went off accident, and I did a little scuffle for it.
You're sure that's how it was. Well, let's hit going.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I got a man.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Hunt on and an all night right ahead of us.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's hit going. I guess the draw Marshall can't will
be about a quarter of a mile up. I ever
made it before daybreak. Now, if he's only there, hold
it for and he said, Marshall, hold it down, Damond

(18:22):
sound will carry up that drawl like fire. Okay, what
we're gonna do?

Speaker 3 (18:28):
If that fella's in there, we're up against the dangerous man.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
He robbed the post office and committed murder. If we're
taking him with drum play.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Some of us are liable to get it, So I'd
like to take him before he knows what's up. Oh,
how Marshall, I never need a man to snake up
that drawl and another one that gold by way of
the lid's there. I'd take one of them myself, but
I'm too heavy to be much good, so I'll take
the first two volunteers.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I'll take the drawl. I'll take the lead. You dammon,
I don't know. I'm want cooperation, and you fought with
Cassidy said you'd take the press two volunt here. That's
my right.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Well all right, you'll get there first copy. So wait
a few minutes before you move in in a gun file.
Bring us all up. I remember both of you. This
fella's a killer. We've made noise and he put no
way here. So watch out for that knife in the
dark mood, watch.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Out for that left handed draw. Happy you're both ready,
I am me too.

Speaker 9 (19:20):
Go ahead then, and good luck for both of you.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Who's don't move your cover? Who are you? What do
you want? I want to help you? Keep your voice down?
You Jim Conoll? Yes, but I have your sister, Allan's
in Blacking. Then she told me about you. How does
a post closing in on the shack? I have to
get you for blowing up the blacks and post office.
I haven't even been in town. I know that now.
But take it easy. So I'm nice and we're gonna

(20:10):
have to get out of here in a hurry. So
you ain't going nowhere nothing guns, Cassidy. Roper got here
sooner than your thought, didn't I Cassidy, how do you
think the boys are gonna feel about you after this.
It's seen. Man ain't quite safe. It's too prisoners. I

(20:33):
think I'll just tap you to sleep. Cassidy, with this,
can you call him?

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Man?

Speaker 1 (20:42):
What You've had to come in to him for a
long time, Shade, He had to get a doing law
enforcement work. She's out cold, better be getting away, and
that shot is going to bring the post here in
a hurry. Come on, now, what this is missus? Spice

(21:05):
boarding house? Your sisters here? So you're sure you don't
want me to come in with you? I better if
I go along. I must not plan what I expect.
So did good idea? If you've got ready to make
a run for it. In that case, the things would
be tough to you too, won't I I might be
able to talk my way out of it. You're you're
doing a lot to me, Cassidy. I won't forget it.
My sister won't forget it either. Maybe we'll all be lucky.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
I'll see you.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Hello. I just got him down too. I guess I
should have started back sooner. You must have remembered what
you said. Yes, I remembered, but not soon enough, not
soon enough to get here and really hide that box. No,
not soon enough for that. It's still in my house. Happy.
Then they'll find it. They will if you tell them.

(22:03):
I have to tell him. Man, it's another man's life
or mine. I've had to think about that too, And
the fact that we've been friends. You haven't asked me
why I did it. That's your affair. If it weren't
for Carlyle, you wouldn't concern yourself. Carlyle and live Watkins live,
should live most of his life happy, and his kid
can get away. I'll help him, and you and I

(22:27):
you can never look each other in the eyes. Matt
time heals many things happy. It wouldn't help young Carlyle.
He spend his life on hunted man. I had to
do it happy. I've been gambling. You couldn't help that.
I can't help this.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Well, there are.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Stronger things than justice. I'm your friend. I find it
hard to believe math with you holding that shop gun
across your knees. Self preservation, Happy, it's the strongest course
in the world, even stronger than friendship, Man, even stronger
than friendship. I'm sorry, Happy, but I'm a craig. You've
made it a matter of you. You were amazing. So

(23:03):
you're comfy. You were too fast interals, you're not badly hurt? White, No, Matt,
like another move for that shotgun and I'll have to
kill you. But there here, Yeah, they're here. I have
my regrets to Matt, deep deep regrets.

You already there, all set.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Years ago, all islands. They're nice to see. Would you
been like that? If it worth for you? How did
you figure Matt's Hardesty for the killer range? Was that
reward poster? A reward poster lines Watkins closed the post
office when we left, Remember, and you never said anything
about that poster a word and never thought of it?

(24:14):
I figured not so. Outside of Lige, only three people
could have known what was on you and I and
the man who saw it later when he murdered lies
for that money. Sure so out at Remrock, Matt Hardesty
gave himself away by mentioning the information that had been
on the poster when he warned me to watch out
for Carlisle's left handed draw.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
I'll be dog on.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
