There's that award Spicer fella you locked up and then there's a drunk who tried to buffalo me after you went to bed

No, do you have any trouble with him? A little Mr. Dylan. He tried to hit me on the head with his six guns

What do you look all right? Oh, he didn't do it sir. I bet his thumb and medium at the same time

Well, that's quite a trick Chester. You must have been practicing. No, sir. I haven't been practicing

But I had it all thought out

I'd see all right. Let's turn Spicer loose. I'll go get him Mr. Dylan

About time where's my gun Marshall

There it is, Spicer

And uh don't use it around here anymore. You can't bother a man for self-defense

I just want you to stay out of dodge

One kill it's your limit here even in self-defense. I had a fair to you Marshall

Besides is a poor town anyways. You can have it

Oh

Are you sure would Chester? There's something real bad about him. Yeah, I don't know what it is Chester

Seems like nobody wants him. I don't feel sorry for him Chester. You got that way all by himself. Yes, sir

I mean no, sir

Morning, Marshall those graders got here. Yeah, Jack. Yep. Come in on the sound if I yesterday Marshall for I'm right back here. Oh, good

You

Beautiful guns after just beautiful

You're a good starkeeper Jack, but I only need two of them. Well, I can make you good price in all four, Marshall

I wouldn't be any good if I don't need four with it. Well, maybe not but I never know

I got half a dozen 44 sharp rifles same shipment thought I'd be stuck with him forever

Well with the big 50 out now. They're in the Buffalo 100 use of 44 anymore. I don't see any 44

Well, that's just what I'm telling you fella. Stopped in just this morning took all six

David 75 dollars piece to your soul six rifles to one man. That's right, Marshall

The Buffalo hunter will look more like a drifter to me at plenty of cash. Oh, you know his name. No idea

Nothing wrong with it was your Marshall

Been hold up around here haven't heard about. No, no

There's a lot of rifles for one man to buy no log in it, is it? What does man look like Jack?

All skinny kind of mean face. Mm-hmm. You wear one six-gun black grips

Yeah, come to think of it. He did you know it? Yeah

Lord Spicer killed him at last

Well now I heard about that shooting. What do you suppose he's up to now? Where'd he go?

I wouldn't know after rifles on him you rode out of town

You going after Marshall? No

No

It's like you say Jack there's no log against a man buying all the rifles he wants

Seems strange, that's all

Well, let's settle on the price for those greeners

Next day Chester and I took the new greeners and rode off for a prairie chicken

We had a sack full within an hour and we headed back to town

Arguing on the ways to whether we'd bake the birds whole or just cut the breasts off and broil them

We still hadn't settled a matter when we reached dodge

And we never did

The stage from Hayes City had arrived half hour before bringing with it the

Bodies of two men found alongside the road

They were just laying there Marshall about five miles back

Bold shot dead, but I thought I'd better bring him in anyway to recognize them Pete no, Marshall

I didn't

The doc says there are a couple of riders from the T bar outfit

He got him up in his office now you bring in their horses no sign of a horse

But who's an awful lot of tracks around all right. I'll go see if Doc's found anything

Hang around people. Yeah, I may want some more information from you

Okay, if I do my waiting at the Alpharganza march. Yeah sure sure

I'll put our horses up Mr. Dylan. Oh yours Chester. I may want mine

Yes

Oh, hello, Marshall

Just finishing up here be right we did how'd they die doc? Well they got half shot and then shot dead

Yeah, I know I know, but the is there any way I tell them that maybe they killed each other? Yeah

Ah

No, there is my shirt, but I'd be my despise to did. Oh, what do you mean doc?

But they were cowboys my son cowboys just don't generally carry buffalo guns

Yeah, they can look what I dug some of these out of each of them

Those are slugs from the shops right for my

Yeah, sure

That one's the best I find

What color but you say this is tough

I'd get 44

For the shops

Not many 44s and years around here since the big 50 came

I know a man was six up and doc

What do you think of that?

Let you know when I get back

So long down

Oh

We will return for the second act of gun smoke in just a moment

But first

Behind the famous creaking door to inner sanctum tomorrow evening

Their lies one of the most hair-raising tales to date

Meet Raymond your host on inner sanctum tomorrow night on most of these same CBS radio stations

Now the second act of gun smoke

The stage driver rode with me back to where he found the bodies and from there I rode on alone

It was an easy trail at first there must have been more than a dozen horses running together

Long-tored dusk however, they suddenly split up and I was faced with two different trails to follow

Made again, there's choice in the old part of the river

There was only an hour of light left to track by when

My horse stepped into a prairie dog old snapped his leg one over hard

My head glanced off a rock

There was a shower of light

There's nothing

That's him alright, that's Dylan. He's a marshal a dog

But you can't let him live he'd kill us all right. I'm gonna kill him anyway

You'd die for it if you'd do

You came you had a boss that you'll wish I'd shot him

He's coming to now

We take care of him our own way

White clung pick up his guns

Hey, it hurts just knocked out that saw

Indians

Chien's I'm no Indian Marshall

You know

Yeah, sure no tricks now, Marshall. He's redskins will shoot you to pieces

Yeah

For those new shops forty fours your bottom, huh special snow business yours, Marshall not now

You're through you're all the way through

Spicer you're under arrest

What I said you're under arrest

And how Marshal what are you arresting me for not that it matters much for selling guns to Indians and

On suspicion of murder

All right, so I'm under arrest, but Marshall I want to ask you something. Yeah

How are you gonna take me in that's all just how you gonna manage how worry about that you sure will

Come on while hog. Let's shoot him and get it over with

It's as a man of much heart

I admired his courage

To stand with death on all sides and arrest a man

No, we will not kill him not yet, but you can't take him with us cloud give him a horse

They gave me a horse all right with the tea bar brand on it

But I was surrounded by six armed Indians and a no good white who'd shoot me anytime he thought he could get by with it

Wildhog rode up ahead leading the party northwest apparently the

rendezvous with a bunch that had split off from this one

Spicer stayed right alongside of me. Well, am I still under arrest, Marshall? You're still guilty, aren't you? Sure

I'll admit it no matter being is how you'll never see Dodge again or any other place

What are you doing with these shy hands here anyway, Spicer? I got a deal with wildhog, Marshall

Real good deal killing white men part of it. They don't need any help air, Marshall

They like to kill white man. Maybe they'll kill you before they're true. No, I have to valuable to them. They like me. Now

Why would they like you?

Well, they didn't at first, but I talked to men to it

Talk wildhog into it. He's a smart fellow at Indian. It's all right away what I could do for him

Like buying those rifles. What else did you do for it?

Well, I stopped those two riders with the horses told him I was sick

Got him all guard

Oh shy hands were on for they could move. It was really easy

You're kind of like a Judas sheep and a slaughter pen, huh?

Yeah, that's it, Marshall pays by the low

I got five hundred dollars coming since we find a rancher to the raid. I see pretty good deal, huh

You know, I think a lot more of these endings than I do a you Spicer

I don't like that, Marshall. At least they got an argument on their side

But you're just a run a gate white. I'll kill you for that, Marshall. I'll shut up

All right, you've asked for it. Shoot me and wildhog will split you wide open Spicer

Besides, he spotted the rest of his party up there, huh? Oh

Yeah

All right for now, Marshall, but I'll see you dead

I promise I'll see you dead

I

Was still alive two days later when they crossed the Smoky Hill River about a hundred miles northwest of Dodge

There were 15 shy ends in the party

Day and night two of them by turns never took their eyes off of me

They seemed anxious for an excuse to cut my throat

I had to watch every movement I made

Look pretty hopeless

Wildhog was smart and he took no chances

But often he and I rode along together

Though always flanked by my two warrior guards

Country is greener already

Better every mile. Why have you been riding so far soft wildhog if you like this land better

We are northern shy and Marshall the big horn mountains

The army took us south to a reservation in the Oklahoma territory

So that's it you'd jump to a reservation, huh? Why should we live in a hot flat land that has no gain

But the army will be after you again

You've broken the law

Whose law ours or yours all right well, huh

But the Indian has a law against murder

You've broken that twice that I know

Shy end does not speak of it as murder to kill his enemy those cowboys went your enemy wildhog

They weren't fighting you the army drove us from our home in the mountains. The army took our horses from us

We are going back home now on other horses. That's all that doesn't explain your killing

Those men were peaceful

Marshall if I could I would kill every white man in the country

I cannot

The Indian nations cannot

Red man has always fled before the white man those cowboys weren't chasing you

We needed their horses. They didn't even have a chance to fight you tricked him

Is it only the white man who was allowed to trick his enemy?

I was young once Marshall, but I have seen too much trickery and lies and destruction and broken promises

I'll admit that's happened well

But you know not every man is a liar and a killer

No

There are white men like you and there are white men like Spicer

Spicer

Tell me something would you consider ord Spicer guilty of murder?

The Indian is Spicer's enemy not his own people

Therefore it is murder and you understand why at Spicer I came after not you

Why not me Marshall? You're the army's problem not mine

I expect to fight the army many times before we reach the mountains

Yeah

What what do you plans for me wild?

I have been thinking yeah I do not know yet

What about Spicer Spicer works for me why should I think about him

Then you're not as smart as I figured

All right Marshall I do not trust Spicer

He's a traitor to his own people and only for money

I have rifles now and enough horses I do not need Spicer you're going to kill it

Why not

He's only another white man you said yourself you can't kill all the white men

If you were free Marshall you would take him back and let other white men kill him

What difference how he dies makes a difference to me while I

I'm a law man

I may have to kill you too

You're a hard man to be friends with

I will explain to you Marshall

It matters little about any Indian

You more winters and not many of my people will be alive

I do not complain of our fate

The tribe follows tribe nation follows nation

This is the law of nature

A white man's turn to be defeated and to disappear will come

It is just a matter of time

And so we may be brothers after all Marshall

I'm not sure I believe all of that while hug

Of course not

Still I recognize you as a warrior among your people

As I am a warrior among mine

Too bad we're not on the same side

As long as we are brave and willing to die

Does not matter

I ride ahead now you stay with the others

I

That night we reached the north fork of the Solomon River and camp with

The shadow of low hills up many miles ahead

Wildhog ordered my guards to keep me some distance from the rest of the party

So I pulled up some buffalo grass and bedded down on it early

I watched the stars

Until sleep came

Next thing I heard was the sound of horses fading off in the distance

The two braves guarding me had disappeared so I got up and

Walk carefully back to where the shions were camped

There are a couple of horses that tied to a bush but

They were alone

The Indians left

Stopped for a moment to listen

And then suddenly I saw the figure of a man lying in the moonlight about 20 feet off

Spicer

Spicer

Yeah, there's no blood on you. You're all right come out of it man. Come on

Here you've been knocked out that's all I come on sit up. Oh

What what happened? Well, where are they? Where's wildhog? They've gone

Gone

Gone where

Where'd they go they've been headed for the big horn mountains

That's chance to run into the army if they travel at night

But they couldn't leave me not here not now looks like they did

Some brave club gym they rode off that's all but I got to go with you're still groggy spicer

You're still under arrest

Remember you can't take me in Marshall

Wildhog will be back. He won't let you why do you think he left you here spicer? We're we're friends big friends

Me and wildhog you got no friends

You don't belong in anybody's camp

And I'm taking you back to dodge anyway

And murder in red skis a better man than you spicer

He's brave and he's willing to die

Now come on we got a long ride back
