Speaker 9 (14:46):
How come you in't enforced that warrant? Marshall, how come
you didn't kick these trespassers off my property?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm afraid it'll be against the Lawford, against the law.
It turns out it's not your property after all. What
are you talking about the fact that heart Fenny and
Judge Bent put their heads together this morning and came
up with a rid of injunction.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Here you can take a look at it if you want.
Sames is ground's public domain.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
Kind of image when you try to pull off I
took up this lane eight years.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Ago, that's right, Medford. But you didn't build on it,
and you didn't prove it up. And according to Judge Bent.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Unimproved land that's left open to public use without protests
for five years or more reverts.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
To public domain.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
Judge Bent's out of his mind.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
At well Over there has been used by everybody in
town for the last six years.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The Judge Bent figures that's plenty of public use to
wipe out your claim.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
To the title.
Speaker 9 (15:49):
Here boy, sister Carnival Parker turns out to be the squire,
a low down lane grabber.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
I wait a minute, Medford Penny hasn't grown have done anything.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Now he's got the law stringing along with him.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Boy, maybe.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Perhaps he got that pretty faced wife?
Speaker 10 (16:10):
Is the sweet talk to Mark?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
How I want to do about that? All right? I
got that bat here and my shirl.
Speaker 10 (16:29):
I took a big two.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
I was a gun slinger talking to a businessman I

I assure you help me.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I'll kill you, all right, Hi, Hi, you might work
for him.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And if you want to take up where he left off,
I'm packing him down the street and suck him with
out a horse trough.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
He can't lie here all night. Come on, we're both
mighty grateful to you. I forget it. It's funny and
happen sooner or later even if you hadn't been there.
He's gonna come for a long time.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
He certainly has madd and you gave it to him.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Good.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
You know it's the funny. You better grab onto this
crowd and sell them some tonic before they start drifting away. Oh,
you're right, Thankskin.
Speaker 14 (18:40):
All right, looks like Dodger has got itself.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
A new municipal park, doesn't it. Yeah, it looks like.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
We're gonna be so you're out here for nort if
you don't.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Be sure, Chester, Oh excuse me, boys, I gotta get
me some more of that stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You're still testing that Doc will?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Of course, what else would I be doing?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Hey, tell me something? Would you tell you?
Speaker 7 (19:19):
What?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Are you sure that stuff's only twenty percent alcohol?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Thank you, George.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know it was just five years ago this month
that Matt, Dylan, Chester, Kitty and Doc first walked along
the plaza in Dutch City, Kansas. And there's one very
good reason why you still find them living there in
that wild.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Camp at the edge of the high Plains.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
See Yes, radio's listeners seem to want it that way.
It's our feeling that perhaps no period in American history
has given birth to so many giants legendary or historical as.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Those fabulous frontier years.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
And we like to think that gun Smoke has had
a part in portraying it.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
We've tried for as much truth.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
As good drama will allow, and as research will furnish.
We like to think also that radio brings you the
full flavor of this Old West. Matt Dillon's little asides
to Chester Proudfoot can conjure up vivid pictures of oh,
the Kansas planes, the sod huts, the great herds of Texas, cattle,
(20:51):
the heat, the mud, the buffalo skinners, and the lonely
ranging bands of Indians, all of which have low ung
since vanish from the American scene. So on this our
fifth anniversary, may we sincerely thank you for your interests, which,
(21:13):
after all made the whole thing possible.

It's funny. How do you know he'll be here if
you don't even know where he went. I didn't say that.
I said I didn't know where he was right this minute.
Then tell me where he went.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
I can't tell you.
Speaker 5 (11:29):

Speaker 6 (11:35):

Of course you're a mind to enforce the law of
the same lot of town as you do with dark
city SIPs.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
A man's rioting.
Speaker 10 (12:25):

down here and help you.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You can unstrap it, mister funny, and get back over
to that wagon and run your show.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
I ain't never asked another man to fight my battles.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Getting in this case is the law fighting going on?
You get an of this with a count of your dog.
It's the same as asking for a shop. So you

Speaker 10 (14:20):
Right, Marshall, come on Chester, we'll walk out to the
street and meet him certain name.
Speaker 5 (14:26):

Speaker 6 (14:28):
In the pig's eye, Old Medford commandy upsetting mister John.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I imagine he is. He's had an old day to
get that way.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
What's the meaning of this, Marshal?
Speaker 5 (14:41):
All right, that's far enough, you man.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
How come you in't enforced that warrant? Marshall, how come
you didn't kick these trespassers off my property?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm afraid it'll be against the Lawford, against the law.
It turns out it's not your property after all. What
are you talking about the fact that heart Fenny and
Judge Bent put their heads together this morning and came
up with a rid of injunction.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Here you can take a look at it if you want.
Sames is ground's public domain.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
Kind of image when you try to pull off I
took up this lane eight years.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Ago, that's right, Medford. But you didn't build on it,
and you didn't prove it up. And according to Judge Bent.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Unimproved land that's left open to public use without protests
for five years or more reverts.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
To public domain.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
Judge Bent's out of his mind.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
At well Over there has been used by everybody in
town for the last six years.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The Judge Bent figures that's plenty of public use to
wipe out your claim.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
To the title.
Speaker 9 (15:49):
Here boy, sister Carnival Parker turns out to be the squire,
a low down lane grabber.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
I wait a minute, Medford Penny hasn't grown have done anything.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Now he's got the law stringing along with him.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Boy, maybe.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Perhaps he got that pretty faced wife?
Speaker 10 (16:10):
Is the sweet talk to Mark?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
How I want to do about that? All right? I
got that bat here and my shirl.
Speaker 10 (16:29):
I took a big two.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
I was a gun slinger talking to a businessman I
knew wouldn't begin to outdraw me.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Uh, you've got some kind of suggestion. Don't you want
to make sure? Sure you take a fit.
Speaker 10 (16:48):
I'm breaking too, chester Yester.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
First one, I at first? Men, that makes him move?
Blow a whole any well? That shotgun? Yes? You what
you do here, Doug? Oh my god? I felt with him,

Speaker 9 (17:16):
I've been waiting for a chance, like.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
Watch how prispers?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Man?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I assure you help me.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I'll kill you, all right, Hi, Hi, you might work
for him.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And if you want to take up where he left off,
I'm packing him down the street and suck him with
out a horse trough.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
He can't lie here all night. Come on, we're both
mighty grateful to you. I forget it. It's funny and
happen sooner or later even if you hadn't been there.
He's gonna come for a long time.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
He certainly has madd and you gave it to him.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Good.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
You know it's the funny. You better grab onto this
crowd and sell them some tonic before they start drifting away. Oh,
you're right, Thankskin.
Speaker 14 (18:40):
All right, looks like Dodger has got itself.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
A new municipal park, doesn't it. Yeah, it looks like.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
We're gonna be so you're out here for nort if
you don't.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Be sure, Chester, Oh excuse me, boys, I gotta get
me some more of that stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You're still testing that Doc will?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Of course, what else would I be doing?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Hey, tell me something? Would you tell you?
Speaker 7 (19:19):
What?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Are you sure that stuff's only twenty percent alcohol?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Thank you, George.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know it was just five years ago this month
that Matt, Dylan, Chester, Kitty and Doc first walked along
the plaza in Dutch City, Kansas. And there's one very
good reason why you still find them living there in
that wild.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Camp at the edge of the high Plains.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
See Yes, radio's listeners seem to want it that way.
It's our feeling that perhaps no period in American history
has given birth to so many giants legendary or historical as.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Those fabulous frontier years.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
And we like to think that gun Smoke has had
a part in portraying it.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
We've tried for as much truth.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
As good drama will allow, and as research will furnish.
We like to think also that radio brings you the
full flavor of this Old West. Matt Dillon's little asides
to Chester Proudfoot can conjure up vivid pictures of oh,
the Kansas planes, the sod huts, the great herds of Texas, cattle,
(20:51):
the heat, the mud, the buffalo skinners, and the lonely
ranging bands of Indians, all of which have low ung
since vanish from the American scene. So on this our
fifth anniversary, may we sincerely thank you for your interests, which,
(21:13):
after all made the whole thing possible.
