Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there
is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and the smell of
guns smoke.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Gone.

Will Spoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence
that moved west with young America and the story of
a man who moved with it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first
man they look for and the less they want to meet.
It's a chance, a job, and it makes a man
watchful and a little Lonelyn.

two days.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yes, sir, you are.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Look, Henry, we postponed the wedding last month because I
had to go to Abilene on business. I run a
big ranch and it takes a lot of hard working time,
and the ranch comes first.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Now, can you get that through your head?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I understand.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
I just hope for your sake, you don't have to
go anywhere this time. Polly wasn't proud having a call
off the wedding last month. Now I suppose you leave
that to me and Polly and keep your puppy nose
out of this. I don't care for that remark, mister Sabath.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
No, And let's see what.

Oh killy, that reminds me.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I saw probably on the street the other day and
she asked me that the idea that you'd be welcome
at the wedding if.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
You wanna come.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
She did.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Uh, I've only met her at the store and around.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Oh it seems like she likes you. Hm, anyway, that's
what she said. Well she mat kid, you didn't think

don't know why not.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Well, well maybe i'd better think it over.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You's got enough trouble as it is.
Speaker 8 (05:05):
Anyway, I feel kind of good they're asking me.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
They're just people kidding, like anybody. Uh yeah, chicken.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
If there's anything I hate, its ain a liar.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Back the trouble now, doc Ah.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
These eggs the cook swore they were fresh.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
There are no dying where they'd been put down.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
In water glass.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh well, why don't you raise some chickens?
Speaker 11 (05:43):
Then I would, but it just create a whole gold
classic feed chicken tea.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Seems to me you're in for a bad day. Doc.
You started feeling this way, I'd soon.
Speaker 11 (05:56):
To trust crazy bule over there.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Then most people I know around here, Crazy Bueler, Yeah,
oh yeah, I haven't seen her in a long time.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Yeah, funny thing about her, Man, she's still sort of.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Pretty, Yeah, said you look in her eyes? She is,
that's I'm dark. I I can't help feeling sorry for her.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
You know, there's nothing anyone can do to help her now,
I guess not. M She came to see me a
couple of weeks ago. She had to aid you, uh huh,
and she paid my fee too.
Speaker 11 (06:30):
And if crazy Buller can pay up, you think the
more prosperous citizens around here could, uh? I tell you,
I sometimes warner about these people matter.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Or maybe a charge to her.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
If I charge nothing, Nate still cheat me somewher John
h Uh.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
He'd get to look at the ready, right.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
If Nate Seyberts marries that Troyman girl will be a killing.
I'm warning the Lord to stop it before it's too late. Yeah,
there's no signature, but you got this Chester.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
He was into the office store when I opened up
this morning.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
What do you make the well here.
Speaker 11 (07:10):
Let me see him man.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah, h yeah, it's printed. I thought I might recognize
a hendwriting.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
That's why he printed it. I guess, well, I.
Speaker 11 (07:22):
Wouldn't wanna be in Nate Savage boots young Henry's gonna
shoot him if he doesn't marry Polly.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
And here's somebody he's gonna shoot him.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
If he does.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
All in all, it will make for a lively tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I think we better talk to the Sabage about since Chester.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Hen Or at the Dodge House laughed the wedding.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
And uh, it's a long dark have a pleasant day.
Yeah sure and that yeah so, uh, Marshall Chester old
(08:09):
me like to talk to you, Subbage. Sure, Marshall, come.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
On in, come in.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Uh. Chuster found this note at the jail this morning.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
The y.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Now who wrote this? I thought maybe you could tell me. No,
I got no idea, Marshall. And do you think of
anybody who doesn't want you to get married, Subags, I
ain't got enemies, sure what man hasn't, But they don't
have nothing to do with me and Polly. Well they
care if I get married.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Well, maybe it's just a joke.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Somebody's kind of playing on you. It's a mighty poor
joke under the circumstances. Yeah, I suppose it would be.
My old man told me to stay away from women
a long time ago. She'd have listened to 'em a
little late now. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Uh, if you get any idea, let me know with him. Anyway,
we'll be at the weapon. We'll do what we can't.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I'll be wearing a gun to Marshall, you can count
on that. The Red Cross means different things to different people.
(09:29):
To the family left homeless by a fire, flood, or tornado,
the Red Cross means food, clothing, and shelter, perhaps even
a gift of money.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
To a serviceman overseas or a veteran in a hospital,
the Red Cross may.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Mean a friendly reminder of home or a few moments
of care chasing entertainment. To someone seriously injured or undergoing
an operation. The Red Cross means a ready supply of
life saving blood to a refugee or political.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Prisoner in a foreign land.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Ross means a helpful hand that reaches the Cross borders
and through barbed wire. All the good things that happened
to people through the efforts of the Red Cross happened
because many people have given generously.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Their money and volunteer services.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
It's not too late to join and serve at your
local Red Cross chapter. I didn't like the idea of
a groom having to wear a six gun at his wedding,
and even less the fact that the shooting might take
place in church, so I went out to see the
(10:38):
troy men.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Polly came to the door and ushered me into the
front room where father and Henry were sitting. Can we
fetch you something, morshal glass bob uh no, thank you,
mister Troyman. It wouldn't be very good, bourbon. I'm a
freid prices up when he's down.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Things haven't been easy late lived. We were knuck with
this family anyway. He's father, Polly. I hate to bother
in this way, but it's uh important. Nothing happened to
need if he's run off o Henry, No, let the
marshal speak. He's all right, Polly.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I just want to know if you can think of
anybody who would try to put a stop to the
wedding tomorrow, try I stop.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
It, that's right. Why shall I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
What you somebody's threatened to Polly. I don't know who
it could be, and neither does Nate Cyberts. I talked
to him about it. This is mighty strange, sir.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It sure is true, Marshal, as it looks well.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Who not wanted to get married.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Polly when you took up with Nate Cyberts. Was there
anyone else who.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Might have been jealous about it? Uncommonly jealous? I mean
enough to start trouble tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
No, Marshall, they wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
What about Red Withers.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
That we did, and I broke off two months told
that Henry.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Besides, he's gone to lack animus.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
There wasn't anybody else, No, Marshall.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
If you felt that maybe Nate Sivas himself might have
started this, he didn't. How do you know he didn't
do what he ran out once before, Henry.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
He's not that kind of a man, Henry. That's why.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Now let's not get all upset about this. I promise you,
Polly that Chester and I'll be there tomorrow and we'll
see that nothing goes wrong, Thank you, Marshall.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I'll be there too, don't forget.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
That, sure, Henry. But don't come wearing a gun. Why not,
because I'll take it off here if you do, you're
too ready.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
To use it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Is there anything I can do emotional?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I'll let you know if there is. Mister Truman, I'm
sorry I had to trouble you with this. Probably I understand, Marshall.
Speaker 11 (12:49):
I thank you kindly.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I'll see you to the door. Thanks.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
Or as much as Nason Polly have consented together in
holy wedlock and have witnessed the scene here before God
and his company, and there too helped him out Chester
and she had his there truth either two other and
have declared the same.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
They getting and receiving pols to work and bat.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Go any way I can ever put petty.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Men a lot of three others in the name of
the pardon.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Oh I a few lot of real panic cases.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Your name is John.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah, there's nobody outside here. That Cyberg's buggy right there.
Eh yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
He's driving Polly out to the ranch right after the ceremony.
She doesn't want a celebration of any kind.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Well, looks like there won't be no trouble after all him.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
I sure of hope not on their wedding day and all. Uh,
it sounds like it's over. They'll be coming out now.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Let's see.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
We'll stay close to them. Till they drive off. It
could happen right out here.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Well, I'll watch whichever way you ain't watching.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
How do you know which way I'm watching them as
you spend your time watching me? Chester?
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Well I'll try.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I didn't mean exactly. Oh here it come o. You
might don't be looks pretty much. Why congratulations, Ciberts, Thanks Marshall. Happy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Let's go over here a minute.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Then, sure, I guess that warning wasn't much to worry about.
After all, that looks that way. You got nothing but
friends here as far as I can see. Sure, unsettles
a man, though, note like that, and I think you
can forget about it now. I'll forget it when I
find out who wrote it, Marshall. That's what I want
to ask you. But if you learn anything about it,
(14:54):
let me know. Will you promise me that what would
you do if I'd didn't find out, I'd kill him,
That's what I thought. Look, Cyberge, you're married now, and
you've got more than yourself to think about. I'm a
peace officer, I'm paid for it. It's my job. And
if I find out who wrote that note, I will
run him out of the country and I'll try to
(15:17):
keep you from finding out who it was. I'm not
a boy, Marshall. I'm not sure I appreciate your trying
to protect me. What about Polly Pally? Yeah? I think
you see what you mean, Marshall. He here just not
used to being married, sabage, because you better go on
(15:37):
and start getting used to it. Polly is looking for
you over there.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Well thanks, Michael, had anything wrong with killing?
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Come on, let's say him up good bye? Oh my goodness,
not doing what's the matter of trust?
Speaker 6 (16:08):
I'm just like, oh, no, matter of wedding. You know
they are to have more wedding around here.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
It'd be liking that much. Why don't you do something
about it?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Oh my land? What could I do?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Get married? Me? Get married?
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I don't know, miss John.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
You know I wouldn't be able to do that. I
don't make enough money keep body and soul together just
for me, let alone a wife and a lot of
kids and in laws and such as that.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
You couldn't start with just a word. Let's down that
road side, But come on, grab a horse. Anybody thought?
No one we know of approvs of wasting money. In
(16:56):
spite of that, however, we Americans are often guilty of
wasting our money by the uses we make of our
government facilities. Take the operation of the post office, for example,
mostly out of habit many offices and individuals post outgoing
mail at the end of the day. In addition, many
people fail to include zone numbers.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
As part of the address. In both ways, we're slowing down.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
The entire system for delivering mail and adding to the
cost of our postal operation.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
The problem is simple enough to solve. Start solving it tomorrow.
If you will arrange to post.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Letters and packages earlier in the day and include zone
numbers on the return address as well as the outgoing address,
you will help our post office operate more efficiently for
you and at less costs to remember. For faster, more
economical service. Mail early in the day and include zone numbers.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
M there's a buddy just past the bridge there, and
that met all hunkered over.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
He must have been here well upselling on scar of
hard Oh you can take a look under the bridge, yes, right,
will mice light of the shot him is he's dead?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Probably he's breathing.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
But I couldn't drive the horse back and old and too.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Most of what why did they do it?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Who didn't. Probably how many were there, I don't know.
I didn't see anybody.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
We were just driving across the bridge and they shot him.
Why please.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Did you die a forgetting the buggy and drive back
the docs quick?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yes, give me the Tell everybody to stay in town.
I don't want to messing up the tracks out here,
and all.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Right, we'll be there for you know calling you should
get a good tight hold on me.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
As soon as the buggy had gone and the dust
had settled, I looked around everywhere. I could see no one.
When I walked back filled Chester's horse tracks.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Down off the wagon road. His were the only marks
on that side of the bridge, so I crossed over
to the other side. There I found the footprints of
what must have been either a child or a woman.
They let off in the direction of a small cabin
about three hundred yards away. I followed them, gun in hand.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Oh it's you, Marshall.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
You'll look who's in there? Tell me nobody, Marshall, nobody
now that I not here. Get out of the Waybula.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
That's why Nate said.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Get out of the way, crazy buler.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
Nate, you won't say it no more.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
I fixed him.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
You know what? Are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
You wouldn't even look at me on the street after
and then he up married that Troyman girl.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
You mean you shut him?
Speaker 10 (20:50):
I warned you, Marshall.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I told you to stop the wedding. I told you
what would happen?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I told you.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Why didn't you stop it?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Why didn't you stop it? Bill A? Take it easy? Now?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
You believe me?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Marcy?
Speaker 8 (21:17):
You what?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Take a look in the cabin.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Alright, what's this all about? Below? There's nobody in there?
Smail my rifle?
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Where is it out there by the door?
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Yeah, it's been fired? Alright? Did you really shoot Nate
Savage Pillow?
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I want the truth now, I said I would didn't
I I hate him?
Speaker 8 (21:58):
Why?
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Pular? Why did you do it? Tell me? No, I
won't tell you. I don't have to, alright, bal I
get your things, Let's go in to Tom. I don't
need nothing, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I got all dressed up and everything.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
See see yeah, yeah, you looks fining.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
I feel better now, Marshall.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Not, it's all over. He's dad Now.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I feel a lot better. Give her anything she wants
chester see that she's comfortable. Yes, I sure will.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
It's your beats all old don't it.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah, And I'm going up the ducks. Maybe cybrids can
talk now?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Are you bury up?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Be back there any minute?
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Alright? Oh?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
I love that?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
How was he? Dug?
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Uh? I can't tear yet, but don't tire him out.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
A lot of cyburts, Marshall. I guess we should have
stayed with you a little longer.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
I don't even know where it came from, Marshall. He
was under the bridge there, I guess, got me right
in the back. It wasn't a he, cyburts, It was
a sheep, a woman, crazy buller. I just locked her up, beauty.
(24:03):
How do you know? It was Harry Marshall. I trailed
her to work cabin. She admitted it, and she say
why she did it? Uh? She said, you wouldn't look
at her on the street, told her to get out
of the way or something. Doesn't matter much unless you
(24:26):
wanna tell me. Mm. Well, I I got drunk one night, Marshall.
She kind of chased after me ever since. I tried
to keep out of her way, And I say, what
(24:49):
are you gonna tell? Probably if I live, as if
you live, I don't know, Marshall. I might even tell
her the truth, all right, mat that's enough as so
(25:09):
long as Sybrits. Goodbye, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Two days later, Doc announced that Nate Siberts would live,
and the next day they moved him up to the
Troyman House, where probably could nurse him.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
I never did know if he told Polly what it
was all about. Maybe he didn't have to. Crazy Bula
never asked about him, never mentioned his name again. For her,
it was all over and done with.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
And finally somebody remembered she had people in Saint Louis,
And once I located him, I put her.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
On the train and sent her off.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
She seemed quite happy about the trip, and more normal
than I've ever seen her.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Hi, maybe you'll recall this tuneful reminder of times past.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
This is Dennis James with something else worth remembering. It's this.

a man who moved with it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first

It's a chance, a job, and it makes a man
watchful and a little Lonelyn.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Good evening.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Miss Oh hey, Henry, I buy you a drink, No
thank you. What you're going into is loan for if
you ain't gonna drink. No offense, mister Sibbots, I just
don't feel like a drink. Well man free to do
what he feels like, Henri up to a point, he is.
(01:47):
You're all alike, you Southerners.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
We keep our word, the man and the women.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Now. Is that what you're here for? To see that
I don't run off.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
No man's gonna shame my assister.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
What are you talking about. I'm gonna marry her in
two days.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yes, sir, you are.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Look, Henry, we postponed the wedding last month because I
had to go to Abilene on business. I run a
big ranch and it takes a lot of hard working time,
and the ranch comes first.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Now, can you get that through your head?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I understand.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
I just hope for your sake, you don't have to
go anywhere this time. Polly wasn't proud having a call
off the wedding last month. Now I suppose you leave
that to me and Polly and keep your puppy nose
out of this. I don't care for that remark, mister Sabath.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
No, And let's see what.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
A young Confederate gentleman does about something he don't care for.
Go ahead. You're wearing a gun.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
But don't you forget what I said, missus Simon.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
But I don't know if I had to marry you
to a family like that.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Or not marrying's your problem. Cybers. Just don't kill any of'em.
That's so, I have a drink, Marshall, I've got one
at the table over there. Thanks later, maybe, I'm yeah, maybe, yeh.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
No, but he either tried it anyway.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
Not gonna make a real happy family.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh the would get along Kitty Cybrit's and Polly anyway.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
H Well, if Henry and his father getting a chance,
too bad, mister toryment isn't still alive. She'd handle it better.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Oh they're nervous about the web and so.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Yeah, and about Cybert's money. They need it bad. Uh.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
They used to be rich, kitty back in Virginia.
Speaker 9 (03:56):
Well sure, before the war.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Why do you think they're so happy to be able
to marry Polly off to a big rancher like Cybert.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
You know where fus like the Yeah, except for probably
I think she's real fond of cyberst.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
He was super He was fond of her too, after all,
she's a woman.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
And see and uh, but maybe you'll settle down, Uh,

Speaker 8 (04:35):
I love wedding.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Oh killy, that reminds me.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I saw probably on the street the other day and
she asked me that the idea that you'd be welcome
at the wedding if.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
You wanna come.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
She did.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Uh, I've only met her at the store and around.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Oh it seems like she likes you. Hm, anyway, that's
what she said. Well she mat kid, you didn't think
you shop? Now you were invited by the bride. I
don't know why not.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Well, well maybe i'd better think it over.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You's got enough trouble as it is.
Speaker 8 (05:05):
Anyway, I feel kind of good they're asking me.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
They're just people kidding, like anybody. Uh yeah, chicken.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
If there's anything I hate, its ain a liar.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Back the trouble now, doc Ah.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
These eggs the cook swore they were fresh.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
There are no dying where they'd been put down.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
In water glass.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh well, why don't you raise some chickens?
Speaker 11 (05:43):
Then I would, but it just create a whole gold
classic feed chicken tea.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Seems to me you're in for a bad day. Doc.
You started feeling this way, I'd soon.
Speaker 11 (05:56):
To trust crazy bule over there.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Then most people I know around here, Crazy Bueler, Yeah,
oh yeah, I haven't seen her in a long time.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Yeah, funny thing about her, Man, she's still sort of.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Pretty, Yeah, said you look in her eyes? She is,
that's I'm dark. I I can't help feeling sorry for her.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
You know, there's nothing anyone can do to help her now,
I guess not. M She came to see me a
couple of weeks ago. She had to aid you, uh huh,
and she paid my fee too.
Speaker 11 (06:30):
And if crazy Buller can pay up, you think the
more prosperous citizens around here could, uh? I tell you,
I sometimes warner about these people matter.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Or maybe a charge to her.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
If I charge nothing, Nate still cheat me somewher John
h Uh.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
He'd get to look at the ready, right.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
If Nate Seyberts marries that Troyman girl will be a killing.
I'm warning the Lord to stop it before it's too late. Yeah,
there's no signature, but you got this Chester.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
He was into the office store when I opened up
this morning.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
What do you make the well here.
Speaker 11 (07:10):
Let me see him man.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah, h yeah, it's printed. I thought I might recognize
a hendwriting.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
That's why he printed it. I guess, well, I.
Speaker 11 (07:22):
Wouldn't wanna be in Nate Savage boots young Henry's gonna
shoot him if he doesn't marry Polly.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
And here's somebody he's gonna shoot him.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
If he does.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
All in all, it will make for a lively tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I think we better talk to the Sabage about since Chester.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Hen Or at the Dodge House laughed the wedding.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
And uh, it's a long dark have a pleasant day.
Yeah sure and that yeah so, uh, Marshall Chester old
(08:09):
me like to talk to you, Subbage. Sure, Marshall, come.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
On in, come in.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Uh. Chuster found this note at the jail this morning.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
The y.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Now who wrote this? I thought maybe you could tell me. No,
I got no idea, Marshall. And do you think of
anybody who doesn't want you to get married, Subags, I
ain't got enemies, sure what man hasn't, But they don't
have nothing to do with me and Polly. Well they
care if I get married.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Well, maybe it's just a joke.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Somebody's kind of playing on you. It's a mighty poor
joke under the circumstances. Yeah, I suppose it would be.
My old man told me to stay away from women
a long time ago. She'd have listened to 'em a
little late now. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Uh, if you get any idea, let me know with him. Anyway,
we'll be at the weapon. We'll do what we can't.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I'll be wearing a gun to Marshall, you can count
on that. The Red Cross means different things to different people.
(09:29):
To the family left homeless by a fire, flood, or tornado,
the Red Cross means food, clothing, and shelter, perhaps even
a gift of money.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
To a serviceman overseas or a veteran in a hospital,
the Red Cross may.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Mean a friendly reminder of home or a few moments
of care chasing entertainment. To someone seriously injured or undergoing
an operation. The Red Cross means a ready supply of
life saving blood to a refugee or political.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Prisoner in a foreign land.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Ross means a helpful hand that reaches the Cross borders
and through barbed wire. All the good things that happened
to people through the efforts of the Red Cross happened
because many people have given generously.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Their money and volunteer services.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
It's not too late to join and serve at your
local Red Cross chapter. I didn't like the idea of
a groom having to wear a six gun at his wedding,
and even less the fact that the shooting might take
place in church, so I went out to see the
(10:38):
troy men.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Polly came to the door and ushered me into the
front room where father and Henry were sitting. Can we
fetch you something, morshal glass bob uh no, thank you,
mister Troyman. It wouldn't be very good, bourbon. I'm a
freid prices up when he's down.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Things haven't been easy late lived. We were knuck with
this family anyway. He's father, Polly. I hate to bother
in this way, but it's uh important. Nothing happened to
need if he's run off o Henry, No, let the
marshal speak. He's all right, Polly.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I just want to know if you can think of
anybody who would try to put a stop to the
wedding tomorrow, try I stop.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
It, that's right. Why shall I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
What you somebody's threatened to Polly. I don't know who
it could be, and neither does Nate Cyberts. I talked
to him about it. This is mighty strange, sir.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It sure is true, Marshal, as it looks well.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Who not wanted to get married.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Polly when you took up with Nate Cyberts. Was there
anyone else who.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Might have been jealous about it? Uncommonly jealous? I mean
enough to start trouble tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
No, Marshall, they wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
What about Red Withers.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
That we did, and I broke off two months told
that Henry.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Besides, he's gone to lack animus.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
There wasn't anybody else, No, Marshall.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
If you felt that maybe Nate Sivas himself might have
started this, he didn't. How do you know he didn't
do what he ran out once before, Henry.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
He's not that kind of a man, Henry. That's why.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Now let's not get all upset about this. I promise you,
Polly that Chester and I'll be there tomorrow and we'll
see that nothing goes wrong, Thank you, Marshall.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I'll be there too, don't forget.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
That, sure, Henry. But don't come wearing a gun. Why not,
because I'll take it off here if you do, you're
too ready.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
To use it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Is there anything I can do emotional?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I'll let you know if there is. Mister Truman, I'm
sorry I had to trouble you with this. Probably I understand, Marshall.
Speaker 11 (12:49):
I thank you kindly.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I'll see you to the door. Thanks.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
Or as much as Nason Polly have consented together in
holy wedlock and have witnessed the scene here before God
and his company, and there too helped him out Chester
and she had his there truth either two other and
have declared the same.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
They getting and receiving pols to work and bat.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Go any way I can ever put petty.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Men a lot of three others in the name of
the pardon.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Oh I a few lot of real panic cases.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Your name is John.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah, there's nobody outside here. That Cyberg's buggy right there.
Eh yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
He's driving Polly out to the ranch right after the ceremony.
She doesn't want a celebration of any kind.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Well, looks like there won't be no trouble after all him.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
I sure of hope not on their wedding day and all. Uh,
it sounds like it's over. They'll be coming out now.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Let's see.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
We'll stay close to them. Till they drive off. It
could happen right out here.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Well, I'll watch whichever way you ain't watching.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
How do you know which way I'm watching them as
you spend your time watching me? Chester?
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Well I'll try.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I didn't mean exactly. Oh here it come o. You
might don't be looks pretty much. Why congratulations, Ciberts, Thanks Marshall. Happy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Let's go over here a minute.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Then, sure, I guess that warning wasn't much to worry about.
After all, that looks that way. You got nothing but
friends here as far as I can see. Sure, unsettles
a man, though, note like that, and I think you
can forget about it now. I'll forget it when I
find out who wrote it, Marshall. That's what I want
to ask you. But if you learn anything about it,
(14:54):
let me know. Will you promise me that what would
you do if I'd didn't find out, I'd kill him,
That's what I thought. Look, Cyberge, you're married now, and
you've got more than yourself to think about. I'm a
peace officer, I'm paid for it. It's my job. And
if I find out who wrote that note, I will
run him out of the country and I'll try to
(15:17):
keep you from finding out who it was. I'm not
a boy, Marshall. I'm not sure I appreciate your trying
to protect me. What about Polly Pally? Yeah? I think
you see what you mean, Marshall. He here just not
used to being married, sabage, because you better go on
(15:37):
and start getting used to it. Polly is looking for
you over there.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Well thanks, Michael, had anything wrong with killing?
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Come on, let's say him up good bye? Oh my goodness,
not doing what's the matter of trust?
Speaker 6 (16:08):
I'm just like, oh, no, matter of wedding. You know
they are to have more wedding around here.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
It'd be liking that much. Why don't you do something
about it?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Oh my land? What could I do?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Get married? Me? Get married?
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I don't know, miss John.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
You know I wouldn't be able to do that. I
don't make enough money keep body and soul together just
for me, let alone a wife and a lot of
kids and in laws and such as that.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
You couldn't start with just a word. Let's down that
road side, But come on, grab a horse. Anybody thought?
No one we know of approvs of wasting money. In
(16:56):
spite of that, however, we Americans are often guilty of
wasting our money by the uses we make of our
government facilities. Take the operation of the post office, for example,
mostly out of habit many offices and individuals post outgoing
mail at the end of the day. In addition, many
people fail to include zone numbers.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
As part of the address. In both ways, we're slowing down.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
The entire system for delivering mail and adding to the
cost of our postal operation.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
The problem is simple enough to solve. Start solving it tomorrow.
If you will arrange to post.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Letters and packages earlier in the day and include zone
numbers on the return address as well as the outgoing address,
you will help our post office operate more efficiently for
you and at less costs to remember. For faster, more
economical service. Mail early in the day and include zone numbers.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
M there's a buddy just past the bridge there, and
that met all hunkered over.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
He must have been here well upselling on scar of
hard Oh you can take a look under the bridge, yes, right,
will mice light of the shot him is he's dead?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Probably he's breathing.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
But I couldn't drive the horse back and old and too.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Most of what why did they do it?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Who didn't. Probably how many were there, I don't know.
I didn't see anybody.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
We were just driving across the bridge and they shot him.
Why please.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Did you die a forgetting the buggy and drive back
the docs quick?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yes, give me the Tell everybody to stay in town.
I don't want to messing up the tracks out here,
and all.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Right, we'll be there for you know calling you should
get a good tight hold on me.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
As soon as the buggy had gone and the dust
had settled, I looked around everywhere. I could see no one.
When I walked back filled Chester's horse tracks.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Down off the wagon road. His were the only marks
on that side of the bridge, so I crossed over
to the other side. There I found the footprints of
what must have been either a child or a woman.
They let off in the direction of a small cabin
about three hundred yards away. I followed them, gun in hand.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Oh it's you, Marshall.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
You'll look who's in there? Tell me nobody, Marshall, nobody
now that I not here. Get out of the Waybula.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
That's why Nate said.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Get out of the way, crazy buler.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
Nate, you won't say it no more.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
I fixed him.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
You know what? Are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
You wouldn't even look at me on the street after
and then he up married that Troyman girl.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
You mean you shut him?
Speaker 10 (20:50):
I warned you, Marshall.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I told you to stop the wedding. I told you
what would happen?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I told you.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Why didn't you stop it?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Why didn't you stop it? Bill A? Take it easy? Now?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
You believe me?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Marcy?
Speaker 8 (21:17):
You what?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Take a look in the cabin.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Alright, what's this all about? Below? There's nobody in there?
Smail my rifle?

Yeah, it's been fired? Alright? Did you really shoot Nate
Savage Pillow?
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I want the truth now, I said I would didn't
I I hate him?
Speaker 8 (21:58):
Why?
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Pular? Why did you do it? Tell me? No, I
won't tell you. I don't have to, alright, bal I
get your things, Let's go in to Tom. I don't
need nothing, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I got all dressed up and everything.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
See see yeah, yeah, you looks fining.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
I feel better now, Marshall.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Not, it's all over. He's dad Now.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I feel a lot better. Give her anything she wants
chester see that she's comfortable. Yes, I sure will.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
It's your beats all old don't it.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah, And I'm going up the ducks. Maybe cybrids can

Speaker 6 (22:58):

Speaker 5 (23:22):
How was he? Dug?
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Uh? I can't tear yet, but don't tire him out.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
A lot of cyburts, Marshall. I guess we should have
stayed with you a little longer.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
I don't even know where it came from, Marshall. He
was under the bridge there, I guess, got me right
in the back. It wasn't a he, cyburts, It was
a sheep, a woman, crazy buller. I just locked her up, beauty.
(24:03):
How do you know? It was Harry Marshall. I trailed
her to work cabin. She admitted it, and she say
why she did it? Uh? She said, you wouldn't look
at her on the street, told her to get out
of the way or something. Doesn't matter much unless you
(24:26):
wanna tell me. Mm. Well, I I got drunk one night, Marshall.
She kind of chased after me ever since. I tried
to keep out of her way, And I say, what
(24:49):
are you gonna tell? Probably if I live, as if
you live, I don't know, Marshall. I might even tell
her the truth, all right, mat that's enough as so
(25:09):
long as Sybrits. Goodbye, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Two days later, Doc announced that Nate Siberts would live,
and the next day they moved him up to the
Troyman House, where probably could nurse him.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
