But I have to go up the river to Pierceville
for a week's own.
Speaker 6 (02:33):

chicken along the way.

Speaker 7 (02:49):
Well, you didn't say what you wanted for, Doc.
Speaker 8 (02:52):
Do I have to explain I'm not a murderer.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
This the US Marshall's office.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, that's right. Come on in. Let's say.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I got something to tell you, Marshall. Okay, first, better
say my name, sam It Dooley. All right, dully, Now
for what I got.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
To tell you.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I've been skinning hide Marshall, working for a buffalo hunter
name of Culpit.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know, No, I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well. There was this culprit in his partner, Faber, and
me and the cook. Nobody knows the cook's name, We'll
just call him the cook. And we was camped up
the Arkansas River at Turkey Bend. You know where that is?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah? Yeah, I know, well, sir, Culpit.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
He broke out some whiskey night before last. We all
took to drinking it, and Marshall, it's a bad thing.
But when I drink whiskey, I get kind of sensely.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
All most men do, do it.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Not like me. I go crazy wire. You won't believe
it to look at me, Marshall, But I'm a dangerous
man when I'm whiskey. I see.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, uh, what happened the other night that fella.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Faber I was telling you about, Yeah, I killed him, Marshall.
You'll did, yes, sir, I shot and killed him. I
know why I did it, except that I was senselly
drunk on that whiskey. I don't even remember doing it, Marshall.
But when I come to next morning, the mother fella's
told me about it. He'd already buried him, and he
(04:26):
showed me his grave, Poor old Fabre. I feel awful
bad I did.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It, Billy.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Most men when they killed somebody don't come tell the
law about it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Why did you?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I never killed nobody before, Marshall, and I can't have
shooting Faber on my mind. I had to come.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Or where are the rest of these people? Called from
the cook?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Oh? They went off under the prairie. Someoneho's hunting buffalo.
I got no idea where they are. Were you going
to hang me, Marshal?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
No, No, I don't hang men.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Then what I come here for?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The law? Ain't you luck, Dooley.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Nobody gets hung before they get tried. And I can't
send you up for trial unless I see the body
of the man you're killed.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But I told you, Marshal it was Faber.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay, okay, it was Faber.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But I gotta testify that a crime has been committed,
and the law reads. I can't do that without seeing
the body.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You calling me a liar.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
No, I'm not calling you a liar.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And I don't understand none of it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, don't you worry about it, Dooley. I'll take care
of it. How I'll ride out the Turkey bent and
find the grave.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh, I wouldn't do that. Marshal knows nothing this with him.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Well, I don't have to bring him into Dodge Dooley.
I can leave him buried there.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh oh, well I'll go with you. No, no, you won't.
It's a bad enough trip as it is.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
You don't like me because I'm a murderer.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I like you finely, I mean Chester, when you lock
him up.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Turkey Bin was about twenty miles up the Arkansas, and
since he was headed that way, Doc Adams rode along
with us. We reached the camp site about mid afternoon,
but it took us another hour to find the grave.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
There was no marker on.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It, and in fact, only the color of the fresh
turned earth made it possible to find it all.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Chester and I did the shovel work, and Doc did
the examined.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
What's he taking to long for him? Mister Dyning?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh, Doc Slowchester, But he doesn't miss much. What's here
to miss?
Speaker 7 (06:46):
He's just a shot man, I mean a doc shot man,
mean men.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Never mind, Chester. Oh he's true.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Now you can put him back.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Now.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
I've seen all I need, I hope, So Doc always
are looking for measles.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
It isn't what I was looking for at Chester. It's
what I found.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh what do you mean, doctor Matt.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I remember Dooley saying he shot this man? Is that right? Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's what he said.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Well, little Dooley got it all mixed up.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Faber there didn't die.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
From a bullet.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
He died from a knife. What right, through the heart?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
A knife?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, don't make sure they'd get it mixed up that
or somebody told him wrong.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
They don't make sense.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Now, that'dn't make more sense. If I could talk to
copd Well.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Are you ever gonna find him out here? He could
be any words, any direction.

We might be weeks looking for him.

the cook.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Both come to earth.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
You'll see when we get back to Dodge.

Almost one hundred years ago, Charles Kingsley wrote that tobacco
is a lone man's companion, a bachelor's friend, a hungry
man's food, a sad man's cordial, a wakeful man's.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Sleep, and a chilli man's fire.
Speaker 1 (08:17):

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Fine?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Fine? Okay, But Marshall, I'd sure like to know what
a man has to do to get jailed in Dodge City, Kansas.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And I don't know what Duly did to pass the time.
But for the next few days he hit day and
night in doc shack back of the jail, and came
out only to eat a meal.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
In a restaurant. Now and then I felt sorry for him,
but i'd have felt sorrier if he'd been hung for
a crime. I knew he was in a snob.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
A week passed and nothing happened until one day when
I went into the general store after a new watch
chain i'd ordered. Mister Jonas wasn't there, but Kitty was. Well, Matt, hey, Kitty,
you're gonna buy that hat?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Like, oh, it looks fine?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Five Really you're sure?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh yeah, take it? You won't do better than that.
Speaker 10 (16:04):
I had mister Jonas order it six months ago.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Huh oh, well, the mails are slow sometimes.
Speaker 10 (16:09):
It came on the Santa Fame Match, not by Pony Express.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
What.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
I ordered this hat six months ago. It arrived four
months ago, and I've been wearing it ever since.
Speaker 2 (16:22):

Scoga people. They raise their prices every year.
Speaker 7 (16:44):

the river right where the cotton was beginning, Or when
you drive it out there at noon?

I got only one man in my camp, I cook.
That's why I ask where are the rest of your man?
They they're going and I'll be picking up a new
crew before I head out again.

now that he's got all the money.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is that what he's said.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Yes, And he also said something about taking care of
the law here before he left. Of course I didn't
think anything about it at the time. Lots of men
talk like that.

with a knife. He says I didn't choot him. Oh,
I'm sorry, Matt.
Speaker 7 (19:10):

I gave chester ten dollars to buy Dooley a mount with,
but he couldn't find much of a horse for that,
so they settled on an old jack mule. I didn't
see Dooley again, but Chester told me later that he'd
brought steak team with another ten out of his own
pocket when he saw him off.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I guess we both felt a little guilty about the
way I'd had to treat him. Anyway.

The next day, just after noon, we rode down to
the river to pick up the cook and fake the
trap for the real murderer caught it.

Speaker 7 (02:49):
Well, you didn't say what you wanted for, Doc.
Speaker 8 (02:52):
Do I have to explain I'm not a murderer.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
This the US Marshall's office.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, that's right. Come on in. Let's say.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I got something to tell you, Marshall. Okay, first, better
say my name, sam It Dooley. All right, dully, Now
for what I got.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
To tell you.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I've been skinning hide Marshall, working for a buffalo hunter
name of Culpit.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know, No, I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well. There was this culprit in his partner, Faber, and
me and the cook. Nobody knows the cook's name, We'll
just call him the cook. And we was camped up
the Arkansas River at Turkey Bend. You know where that is?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah? Yeah, I know, well, sir, Culpit.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
He broke out some whiskey night before last. We all
took to drinking it, and Marshall, it's a bad thing.
But when I drink whiskey, I get kind of sensely.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
All most men do, do it.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Not like me. I go crazy wire. You won't believe
it to look at me, Marshall, But I'm a dangerous
man when I'm whiskey. I see.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, uh, what happened the other night that fella.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Faber I was telling you about, Yeah, I killed him, Marshall.
You'll did, yes, sir, I shot and killed him. I
know why I did it, except that I was senselly
drunk on that whiskey. I don't even remember doing it, Marshall.
But when I come to next morning, the mother fella's
told me about it. He'd already buried him, and he
(04:26):
showed me his grave, Poor old Fabre. I feel awful
bad I did.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It, Billy.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Most men when they killed somebody don't come tell the
law about it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Why did you?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I never killed nobody before, Marshall, and I can't have
shooting Faber on my mind. I had to come.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Or where are the rest of these people? Called from
the cook?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Oh? They went off under the prairie. Someoneho's hunting buffalo.
I got no idea where they are. Were you going
to hang me, Marshal?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
No, No, I don't hang men.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Then what I come here for?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The law? Ain't you luck, Dooley.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Nobody gets hung before they get tried. And I can't
send you up for trial unless I see the body
of the man you're killed.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But I told you, Marshal it was Faber.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay, okay, it was Faber.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But I gotta testify that a crime has been committed,
and the law reads. I can't do that without seeing
the body.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You calling me a liar.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
No, I'm not calling you a liar.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And I don't understand none of it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, don't you worry about it, Dooley. I'll take care
of it. How I'll ride out the Turkey bent and
find the grave.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh, I wouldn't do that. Marshal knows nothing this with him.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Well, I don't have to bring him into Dodge Dooley.
I can leave him buried there.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh oh, well I'll go with you. No, no, you won't.
It's a bad enough trip as it is.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
You don't like me because I'm a murderer.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I like you finely, I mean Chester, when you lock
him up.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Turkey Bin was about twenty miles up the Arkansas, and
since he was headed that way, Doc Adams rode along
with us. We reached the camp site about mid afternoon,
but it took us another hour to find the grave.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
There was no marker on.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It, and in fact, only the color of the fresh
turned earth made it possible to find it all.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Chester and I did the shovel work, and Doc did
the examined.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
What's he taking to long for him? Mister Dyning?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh, Doc Slowchester, But he doesn't miss much. What's here
to miss?
Speaker 7 (06:46):
He's just a shot man, I mean a doc shot man,
mean men.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Never mind, Chester. Oh he's true.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Now you can put him back.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Now.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
I've seen all I need, I hope, So Doc always
are looking for measles.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
It isn't what I was looking for at Chester. It's
what I found.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh what do you mean, doctor Matt.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I remember Dooley saying he shot this man? Is that right? Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's what he said.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Well, little Dooley got it all mixed up.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Faber there didn't die.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
From a bullet.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
He died from a knife. What right, through the heart?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
A knife?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, don't make sure they'd get it mixed up that
or somebody told him wrong.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
They don't make sense.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Now, that'dn't make more sense. If I could talk to
copd Well.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Are you ever gonna find him out here? He could
be any words, any direction.

We might be weeks looking for him.

And we'll make him come to us. Chester him, I'm
the cook.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Both come to earth.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
You'll see when we get back to Dodge.

But for the next few days he hit day and
night in doc shack back of the jail, and came
out only to eat a meal.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
In a restaurant. Now and then I felt sorry for him,
but i'd have felt sorrier if he'd been hung for
a crime. I knew he was in a snob.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
A week passed and nothing happened until one day when
I went into the general store after a new watch
chain i'd ordered. Mister Jonas wasn't there, but Kitty was. Well, Matt, hey, Kitty,

Hey, it comes down wagon you can buy, mister.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
I guarantee you'll never have any trouble with it.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
It's too expensive. That's the matter with them kind of
Scoga people. They raise their prices every year.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
I'll tell you what I'll do.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
If I don't sell that wagon by noon tomorrow, you
can have it fifty dollars off.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You mean that you.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Had my word noon tomorrow and I'm camped down on
the river right where the cotton was beginning, Or when
you drive it out there at noon?

crew before I head out again.

now that he's got all the money.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is that what he's said.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Yes, And he also said something about taking care of
the law here before he left. Of course I didn't
think anything about it at the time. Lots of men
talk like that.

Thatt, Coulpit don't care about nothing. Tell me I'd done it, Marshall.
I wish I'd never gone to work for that man.

but he couldn't find much of a horse for that,
so they settled on an old jack mule. I didn't
see Dooley again, but Chester told me later that he'd
brought steak team with another ten out of his own
pocket when he saw him off.

I guess we both felt a little guilty about the
way I'd had to treat him. Anyway.

trap for the real murderer caught it.
