big advantage killer.

Yes, but a smile in your smoking. It's as easy
as ABC because Chesterfields made with Accurate are a always milder,

always milder. ACCUAE controls your Chesterfield in the making, gives
it a more even distribution of fine tobaccos that.

Burn more evenly, smoke much milder.

A Chesterfield is better tasting, and ACCUAE Chesterfield draws more easily,
lets you enjoy all the flavor. And the Chesterfield is
cooler smoking fourteen percent more perfectly packed than cigarettes made
without ACCUAE.

He's sitting in the back.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Room there if you want to see him as he

Speaker 10 (10:58):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Tandy?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
I want but know who did this? I'm sure it
was Sam Keeler, but I want to hear.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
It from you. No, Marcia, there's been enough via the
next time he might carry you town it. It doesn't
matter what, it's not important, not no more. What's your trouble, Tanny?
Maybe I can help you? Nobody can help me. Marshall.

Speaker 10 (11:27):
The man loses faith in his God. He loses everything,
and I've lost my faith. I no longer believe.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
I. Uh, you're a preacher. I was a preacher thirty
years now. What you come to dodge for?

Speaker 10 (11:48):
Oh, no Reasonsip get away from people that knew me
before and didn't want them to see me.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Maybe start them doubting too.

Speaker 10 (11:59):
I've got nothing left, Marshally, doesn't matter what happens to
me now.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Uh not?

Speaker 7 (12:08):
Dog?

Speaker 4 (12:11):
I heard him, man, Well tell him something.

Speaker 14 (12:13):
I don't know what to tell him. He's a preacher,
he doesn't believe in God anymore. Oh man, I'm an
ignorant frontier doctor. Sure I can dig bullets out of people.
I can sew him up too. I can shove their
bones back in the place. But nobody ever taught me.
I'm to patch up a preacher who's lost his religion.

Speaker 10 (12:33):
Don't trouble yourselves about me, gentlemen, I'll be moving on.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
No, not tonight.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
You want now, you can do what you want tomorrow,
But tonight, either you or Sam Keeler is gonna sleep
in jail.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Jail.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
I'm not gonna let Keeler catch you again tonight. And
if you won't say it was him, I can't arrest him.
Oh well did he do it, Masha, I'm sleeping your jail.

(13:08):
Maybe Saith Tandy didn't care what happened to himself, but
he sure went out of his way to keep other people.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
From having any trouble.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Had to put Sam Keeler in jail that night. That
had been quite a battle, and Tandy knew it. So
we took him downstairs, and after we found him something
to eat, we gave him a blanket and locked him
in a cell where he'd be safe. Chester slept in
the office with a shotgun by his bed, and after
looking the town over for a couple of hours, I

(13:37):
went to my room. It was just after daylight when
I was awakening.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Oh Chester, stop the racket and come on.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
In the doors unlocked? What time is it? What are
you doing here?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
It's that Tandy. He's gone, mister doing what?

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yes?

Speaker 13 (14:04):
Right?

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Went out to get us some breakfast and he didn't
feel like going, so I unlocked his head and left
him sitting there in the office, and when I got
back he was gone.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Here I found this note stuck on the door.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Marshall.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
If you want to see Soeth Tandy alive, come to Turkey.
Bend at noon a long and unarmed ain't sign No,
it doesn't have to be Sam Keiller. Huh yeah, what
are you gonna do? What it says?

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I guess, but you can't go up there alone not
wearing no gun. Mister Dylan, he'll kill you.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
That Sam Killer could kill him if I thought, what
will happen to Tanny?

Speaker 3 (14:40):
He don't care what happens to him, he said Joe hisself.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
You'd be risking your life for a man who don't
even care about living.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Chester Go to the stable and get my horse while
I'm dressing with you. Then you're gonna do it and
take the rifle boot off my saddle be needle at
this time.

Speaker 12 (15:19):
Stop start smoking with a smile with yester Field.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, put a smile in your smoking. It's as easy
as ABC. Because Chesterfields made with Acura are a always
milder b better tasting c cooler smoking. Yes, a Chesterfield
is always milder. Accuae controls your Chesterfield in the making,

dry light up a Chesterfield, the sad spied.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Maybe chester was right, Maybe it didn't make sense.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
That's still I had to do it.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
It was about twenty miles up river to Turkey Bend,
and I got there about noon. I waited around for
a while. Then Keeler's friend Humbert wrote up. He was
unarmed too. He didn't say anything. It just looked me
over carefully before he musha me a ride upstream ahead
of him. About a half hour later we reached their camp.

(17:07):
Keyler was there and seth Tanney setting on a small
pile of cottonwood logs, staring blankly at the fire. We
got out and went up to him.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Here's at noon, Keyler, real prompt.

stand there and watch me do it.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Now, wait a minute, and when there's nothing left to him.

Speaker 8 (18:25):
I'm gonna go to work on you.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
No, you shut up, Candy. I don't care what happens
to me.

Speaker 10 (18:31):
But the Marshal came risking his life.

Speaker 8 (18:33):
He did for sure, Candy, Wait a minute, killer, What
do you want?

Speaker 15 (18:40):
And you told me you were gonna have a little fun?
You didn't say nothing about killing people?

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Well, I don't like this. I don't want to the
part of it. What's the matter with you? I don't
hold with killing people.

Speaker 15 (18:52):
I don't want to end up on a rope.
