It's very kind of you, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
This is all new to me. Wow, you get used
to it.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
I hope so. But right now everyone seems to be
amused at something.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
While the UH boys are out here aren't much used
to such style.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I guess in Phila, don't you They told me this
was a correct Western attire.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Well it's not quite at any rate. Your father left
his saddle horse for you at the livery stable.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Uh saddle horse? Oh well, isn't there any means of
a public conveyance?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Oh, I'm afraid we don't have any public conveyances of
a dodge.
Speaker 9 (03:48):
Tom, but I don't ride too well except from a
flat saddle.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
A flat saddle, I never heard of that.
Speaker 10 (03:56):
You.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Oh uh, this is Chester prop But uh, Tom Cleveland,
how do you do? How do you?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Your daddy sure going to have hisself a draw with you?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Chester?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
You know what, it's strange having a father after all
these years? What sort of a man is he? Marshall?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Good dad? Nice?
Speaker 9 (04:18):
I guess he's just an ordinary front cherch cattle man. Well,
I guess we'll get on all right?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, well I hope you will.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
Tom.
Speaker 11 (04:41):
Now watch this man.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You're ready, Tom. He's fast man.
Speaker 11 (04:46):
He's a lot faster than I was in his He
that's a gun and your holster, son, and I shut
till the bottles in there?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
All right?
Speaker 11 (04:55):
Raw?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Did you see it? Matt? Yeah, it's good shooting. Tom.
Speaker 11 (05:02):
You get four out of five of them every time
right out there.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Another month and I'll be getting five out of five.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I don't doubt it. Well, Cleve, how better be getting
on into town?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Nice to see you again, Marshall.
Speaker 11 (05:14):
Same here, tom Me and my boy has been working
like this, Matt three four hours a day for.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Bertain near two months now. He's a born gun handler.
Said all right. When he come here and I heard
how they laughed.
Speaker 11 (05:25):
At him, Matt, I decided I was gonna make a
man under that boy if it killed me.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Now, the idea is good, Cleve, that there's more toy
than gunslaying. You can make a good shot in two months,
but it takes longer to turn a boy into a man.
Speaker 11 (05:41):
Maybe well, he'll be treated like one, same as I
always been treated.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I've stood up to the best of them.

Speaker 11 (05:49):
Uh, I got time in tasko. So when I outdrawed
the wacold kid.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah not Chester, h Will you turn that stove damper down? Uh,
it's getting kind of hot at you just gonna sit here? Yeah,
I guess so. But Brawly starld kill him Chester. The
one thing the law can't do is keep a fool
from being a fool. Well, I know, but Brawley's up
(14:17):
there with the stable in and on the hitching rail,
minding his own business. I got no reason to bother him.
And if Cleve jumps him, it'll be self defense and
I still got no reason. Yeah, but maybe Cleve won't
raw for her. He will probly he'll make sure of that. Oh,
good morning, kidding, ms kiddy.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
Matt, I seem to be making a habit of running
to you about the Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, you and Chester both what's wrong now?
Speaker 10 (14:40):
But the old man.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Cleve's sitting over there in the long Branch drinking, then
at it for two hours.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Oh, I didn't know he was in town yet, Matt.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
He acts sort of crazy. Will you come talk to
him at least?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Yeah? Sure?
Speaker 12 (14:55):
Kidding modern Cleve, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Mind? If I sit up? All right? If you wanna acts? Ah,
looks like you've taken on a fair sized load there.
What's the difference. It's a bad state to be in
for a man about to walk into a gun. I'm or.
I don't worry about me. Brawley's fast, cleave as fast
(15:39):
as they come. You got a lot of nerve to
give him even better odds by getting yourself. It's my business,
isn't it. Of Course, a man that faced down the
Waco kid doesn't have much to worry about. I guess him. No,
we except that Brawley's the man who killed the kid
a few years later, and I'll pass him. You know
you're a full Cleve. But I didn't you stay home
(16:01):
this morning? I had to come. They laughed at Believe
you've never even seen the Waco Kid or any of
the others your brag about. Oh, you've never been in
a gunfight in your life. It ain't true. It is true.
And you know, as long as it stayed just harmless,
target didn't matter much. But you started filling your boy
(16:23):
full of it, trying to make him into something you
never were, and last night you nearly got him killed
by it. Oh, boy's got to know how to take
care of his Taking care of himself's one thing. Mothering
off till he gets a bullet, throw his arms another
just as well have been in his heart broadly, let
(16:44):
him off easy. And now you're going up there and
get yourself killed.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
No I.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I I can't. I can't do it, trying to drink
myself up to her. If I can't, mad Oh McCall,
(17:18):
I forget it, Cleeve. If my mind runs into somebody
who can put the Indian sign on him, what your boy? Uh?
Getty na take care of him again, get him upstairs.
(17:39):
That's something you can do a whole lot of than
I will get. Yeah, sing John, Yeah, Chester, there come question.
Now what is it? Tom's out there in the street.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
He's wearing a gun and he's headed for the livery.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Stable, alright, the stove. The kid must be out of
his head and sad he is Tom Tom Cleveland, Yes, sir,
all of 'em. I know what if where you going? Tom?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
You know where I'm going, Marshall. It's my fight. I
started it, Dad didn't.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I don't know who started it, but I know who's
gonna stop it. Taker's gone Chester. Wait, shut up, now,
you stay here and don't move Chester where he tries
to get away, put a bullet through his other around.
I'll be happy to well now, I wasn't exactly looking
(18:43):
to see you this morning, Marshall. You ain't here to
stand up for somebody else? Are you just stand it
up for the law broadly? Well the mind, no one,
There ain't no law, get broke. Call it law in
order then, and a gunfights not very orderly. Yeah, I
sure don't need to do no shooting lessen somebody shoots
(19:04):
in me for nobody's gone to Probably Cleveland's not gonna shove.
Oh hh. Kind of had a feeling he wouldn't. He
looked a little Crawley last night, and just the big wind,
no rain. Mm. His boy feels different though. I just
stopped him up the streets there he was heading down
here to face you. Well, I'll say one thing the
(19:26):
yearling ain't got much sense, but he's sure.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Full of vinegar.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
He's a good kid, probably in spite of what his
dad's done to him. I wouldn't want anything to happen
to him, no long as he stay shy of me.
And there's one way to make sure of that. He
got a horse there and a stable, get it and
ride the law. Say that, Marsham, I said it. Probably
(19:52):
you really run your town, don't you? Alright, Marshall? And
I got no reason to stay all ride good?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Hm?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It's how long? Brolly? Yeah? Easy? Anymore?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Do you have any words this?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Mister dun What happened anyhow? Not that much. Tom Brawley's
riding out of town, and you better get on back
out of the ranch.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I have to find my father first. He's in town somewhere.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
He'll be out later. Tom.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
He's drunk, isn't he. Well it's alright, Marshall. I understand
him rather well. I think he's something of a braggart
and a liar, and most likely a coward white a minute,
don't worry. I I'll never let him find out.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
I know.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
After all, he's my father.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Then maybe you can help him grow up maybe you
can make a man out of him. I hope so, sir,
in a certain time, I think you will.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
In a moment, Our Star William Conrad. In nineteen hundred,
twenty miles an hour very often was excessive speed.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
But in nineteen hundred, as now, speed is a relative concept.
It's relative, for instance, to traffic conditions. An empty highway
is safer than a crowded one. It's to the time
of day, dusk, dawn, and night driving is more hazardous
than daylight. It's relative to weather conditions. Rain, sleet, and
(22:09):
snow means slow down, even on highways that are posted
for high maximum speed limits.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
In other words, safe speed is a question of driver's judgment.
Speaker 9 (22:19):
Police patroths can pick up a few of the most
careless drivers, but the policeman that counts the most is
the one you carry in your own head. When he
tells you to slow down and stop taking chances, listen
to him. The life you save may be your own.
This has been a CBS Radio public service announcement. And now,
(22:43):
William Conrad.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
You know, on the frontier, if a girl was looking
for her husband, they used to say she's throwing a
mighty wide loop. Well, next week, a girl catches a
husband right enough, but not the one she wants, and
that was the West.

Conrad as Matt Dylan Us Marshall. The story was specially

You get four out of five of them every time
right out there.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Another month and I'll be getting five out of five.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I don't doubt it. Well, Cleve, how better be getting
on into town?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Nice to see you again, Marshall.
Speaker 11 (05:14):
Same here, tom Me and my boy has been working
like this, Matt three four hours a day for.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Bertain near two months now. He's a born gun handler.
Said all right. When he come here and I heard
how they laughed.
Speaker 11 (05:25):
At him, Matt, I decided I was gonna make a
man under that boy if it killed me.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Now, the idea is good, Cleve, that there's more toy
than gunslaying. You can make a good shot in two months,
but it takes longer to turn a boy into a man.
Speaker 11 (05:41):
Maybe well, he'll be treated like one, same as I
always been treated.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I've stood up to the best of them.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah not Chester, h Will you turn that stove damper down? Uh,
it's getting kind of hot at you just gonna sit here? Yeah,
I guess so. But Brawly starld kill him Chester. The
one thing the law can't do is keep a fool
from being a fool. Well, I know, but Brawley's up
(14:17):
there with the stable in and on the hitching rail,
minding his own business. I got no reason to bother him.
And if Cleve jumps him, it'll be self defense and
I still got no reason. Yeah, but maybe Cleve won't
raw for her. He will probly he'll make sure of that. Oh,
good morning, kidding, ms kiddy.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
Matt, I seem to be making a habit of running
to you about the Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, you and Chester both what's wrong now?
Speaker 10 (14:40):
But the old man.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Cleve's sitting over there in the long Branch drinking, then
at it for two hours.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Oh, I didn't know he was in town yet, Matt.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
He acts sort of crazy. Will you come talk to
him at least?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Yeah? Sure?
Speaker 12 (14:55):
Kidding modern Cleve, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Mind? If I sit up? All right? If you wanna acts? Ah,
looks like you've taken on a fair sized load there.
What's the difference. It's a bad state to be in
for a man about to walk into a gun. I'm or.
I don't worry about me. Brawley's fast, cleave as fast
(15:39):
as they come. You got a lot of nerve to
give him even better odds by getting yourself. It's my business,
isn't it. Of Course, a man that faced down the
Waco kid doesn't have much to worry about. I guess him. No,
we except that Brawley's the man who killed the kid
a few years later, and I'll pass him. You know
you're a full Cleve. But I didn't you stay home
(16:01):
this morning? I had to come. They laughed at Believe
you've never even seen the Waco Kid or any of
the others your brag about. Oh, you've never been in
a gunfight in your life. It ain't true. It is true.
And you know, as long as it stayed just harmless,
target didn't matter much. But you started filling your boy
(16:23):
full of it, trying to make him into something you
never were, and last night you nearly got him killed
by it. Oh, boy's got to know how to take
care of his Taking care of himself's one thing. Mothering
off till he gets a bullet, throw his arms another
just as well have been in his heart broadly, let
(16:44):
him off easy. And now you're going up there and
get yourself killed.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
No I.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I I can't. I can't do it, trying to drink
myself up to her. If I can't, mad Oh McCall,
(17:18):
I forget it, Cleeve. If my mind runs into somebody
who can put the Indian sign on him, what your boy? Uh?
Getty na take care of him again, get him upstairs.
(17:39):
That's something you can do a whole lot of than
I will get. Yeah, sing John, Yeah, Chester, there come question.
Now what is it? Tom's out there in the street.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
He's wearing a gun and he's headed for the livery.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Stable, alright, the stove. The kid must be out of
his head and sad he is Tom Tom Cleveland, Yes, sir,
all of 'em. I know what if where you going? Tom?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
You know where I'm going, Marshall. It's my fight. I
started it, Dad didn't.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I don't know who started it, but I know who's
gonna stop it. Taker's gone Chester. Wait, shut up, now,
you stay here and don't move Chester where he tries
to get away, put a bullet through his other around.
I'll be happy to well now, I wasn't exactly looking
(18:43):
to see you this morning, Marshall. You ain't here to
stand up for somebody else? Are you just stand it
up for the law broadly? Well the mind, no one,
There ain't no law, get broke. Call it law in
order then, and a gunfights not very orderly. Yeah, I
sure don't need to do no shooting lessen somebody shoots
(19:04):
in me for nobody's gone to Probably Cleveland's not gonna shove.
Oh hh. Kind of had a feeling he wouldn't. He
looked a little Crawley last night, and just the big wind,
no rain. Mm. His boy feels different though. I just
stopped him up the streets there he was heading down
here to face you. Well, I'll say one thing the
(19:26):
yearling ain't got much sense, but he's sure.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Full of vinegar.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
He's a good kid, probably in spite of what his
dad's done to him. I wouldn't want anything to happen
to him, no long as he stay shy of me.
And there's one way to make sure of that. He
got a horse there and a stable, get it and
ride the law. Say that, Marsham, I said it. Probably
(19:52):
you really run your town, don't you? Alright, Marshall? And
I got no reason to stay all ride good?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Hm?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It's how long? Brolly? Yeah? Easy? Anymore?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Do you have any words this?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Mister dun What happened anyhow? Not that much. Tom Brawley's
riding out of town, and you better get on back
out of the ranch.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I have to find my father first. He's in town somewhere.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
He'll be out later. Tom.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
He's drunk, isn't he. Well it's alright, Marshall. I understand
him rather well. I think he's something of a braggart
and a liar, and most likely a coward white a minute,
don't worry. I I'll never let him find out.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
I know.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
After all, he's my father.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Then maybe you can help him grow up maybe you
can make a man out of him. I hope so, sir,
in a certain time, I think you will.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
In a moment, Our Star William Conrad. In nineteen hundred,
twenty miles an hour very often was excessive speed.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
But in nineteen hundred, as now, speed is a relative concept.
It's relative, for instance, to traffic conditions. An empty highway
is safer than a crowded one. It's to the time
of day, dusk, dawn, and night driving is more hazardous
than daylight. It's relative to weather conditions. Rain, sleet, and
(22:09):
snow means slow down, even on highways that are posted
for high maximum speed limits.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
In other words, safe speed is a question of driver's judgment.
Speaker 9 (22:19):
Police patroths can pick up a few of the most
careless drivers, but the policeman that counts the most is
the one you carry in your own head. When he
tells you to slow down and stop taking chances, listen
to him. The life you save may be your own.
This has been a CBS Radio public service announcement. And now,
(22:43):
William Conrad.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
You know, on the frontier, if a girl was looking
for her husband, they used to say she's throwing a
