Speaker 1 (00:09):
Gun Smoke brought to you by Chesterfield. Chesterfield packs more
pleasure because it's more perfectly packed. Thanks to Accuae, they
satisfy the most. Around that city and in the territory
on West, there's just one way to handle the killers
(00:32):
and the spoilers. And that's where the US Marshall and
the smell of gun smoke, guns smoke. Starting William Conrad,
(00:59):
the transcribe story of the violence that moved west with
Young America and the story of a man who moved with.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first
man they look for and the last they want to meet.
It's a chancy job, and it makes a man watchful
and a little lonely. Every man who comes to Dodge
(01:40):
doesn't spell trouble, but sometimes a stranger rides in the who,
to my eye, has it written all over it. This
one I first noticed walking slowly up and down the plaza,
taking every detail and of the buildings, of the crowd
of the street. You might have thought he was figuring
to buy the place. But after two days of his
(02:02):
walking and sitting and watching, I decided that maybe that
wasn't exactly what he had in mind. You're looking for somebody, mister,
you've been in Dodge long enough, stranger. You know who
I am.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Marshall dialing.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
If there's anything about this time you haven't found out,
maybe I can help you.

This is the first civilization I've seen in months, Marshall,
just trying to get used.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
To it again.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
By the way, my name is Cole Yankton. It ain't
no summer named Marshall. If that's what you're thinking, what
do you do.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That keeps you away from the civilization? Yankoon?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Oh been horse trading prown among the settlers, a few
peaceful Indians.

about the thing.

town two days and this is the first time I

she do that?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Marshall, I wouldn't know, Yankton.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
He ain't even curious.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I don't figure it's any of my business.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Maybe you're right, Marshall.

I brought your horse, mister Jillon, and we better get
going or we won't never find them.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
All Chester knew was that Cole Yankton and his partners
had headed south out of Dodge, so we started after him.
We rode blind for a few hours. I was about
to give it up and wait for daylight when we
ran into a cowboy who had heard him ride past
him in the dark. When I told him who I was,
he told me the only place in the whole country
(12:27):
where they might be hiding. An hour later, Chester and
I were crawling on our bellies up to a half
fallen shack that lay under a small bluff.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Hiding in.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
Shacky got a bar going outside.
Speaker 2 (12:46):

They'll still give you credit for one thing, yank.
Speaker 6 (13:47):

Speaker 3 (13:49):

say you're in a good spot right now to really
enjoy Chesterfield's better taste and mildness. You see, Chesterfield packs
more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed. A more perfectly
packed cigarette gives you an open, easy draw that unlocks
(16:28):
all the better taste and mildness. Of fine tobaccos, and Chesterfield,
made by exclusive Vacuae, is more perfectly packed with an
even distribution of tobacco from one end of your Chesterfield
to the other. Firm and pleasing to the lips, mild
yet deeply satisfied, remember to the touch, to the taste.
