We'll try my other solutions. I bet his boss is here Yeah, I know follow me and Chester. Just keep them off my back. I'll take care of the rest of it. Yes

Yeah How you kitty what bring you in sweetie business It's not pleasure. Oh. When do you have other men in Dodge, Kitty? Are them? They come in here, nothing. Sure. They come in.

I talk to them, and I drink with them. That's my job. You follow me, man? I follow you. I'm off. Two. Every night. Can any of you see in Jalisco tonight? No. He hasn't been in that.

Benn Roggs sitting over there at a draw table. Good, I'll talk to him. I'll see you, kitty. Sure, Matt. I'll show you well. Alright, boys, here's where money talks. I'm raising another hundred and I'll stand tight.

Ben, huh? Whoa! It's a marshal himself. I'd like to talk to you, Ben. Alright, Matt, talk. Not here. We'll go over there by the bar. I'm sorry. I'm busy. I got a pat hand in the cinchbend.

May be. This is official. You mean it? I want to talk to you. Come on. Take over my hand, darling. I'll be right back. Alright, Matt, let's have it. What do you want to talk about?

One of your carboys been Jalisco P. What about it? No worry is. I'm around somewhere, I guess. Why? I'd like to know if you lost a spur recently, tonight in fact. It's pretty, ain't it?

Mexican silver, little point, raw, golden, late. He's the only man I know and dodges got a pair like this. All right, I'll say the pig gets it. He'll appreciate you finding it. I'd adopt that.

I found a line beside a woman. He'd just kick to death. Will Thompson and his whole family were wiped out a few hours ago by four night riders. You know anything about it? How would I know about it?

Your boys call you King Rourke, don't they? Never heard of one of them pulling anything without being sure you back him up. Matt. Are you claiming I was in on this? You're a cattle rancher, been an open-range man.

You boys all hate the homesteaders coming in with their claws and fences, but a lot of fences cut by night riders. Now it's murder. You haven't named me yet, man. Couple of months ago, here in the long branch, I heard you say you'd get the homesteaders out of Fort County if you had to burn them off.

Well, did you? Sometimes a man gets known as a fast gunslinger and it goes to his head. I asked you a question, then. and he gets himself a 10 star and goes around bothering me.

And if you're figuring to draw on me, don't. Why not, man? I've seen you in action. You're not fast enough. Then we'll ask you a question. And maybe I don't feel like... What's going on in here?

Nothing. Oh, there you are, Moshe. How are you? Moshe, what does I hear about an Indian uprising? been done and I've heard about all family massacre the way I hear it's murder and scalp scalp to a more so as Indians what game are you playing that Indians don't cut fences been that's a cattle man's trick scalping to cut up and after

thought it wasn't an Indian who lost that spur well soon find out about it riding into the Kyle will come to a troop seat tonight I hope you won't do that Colonel Blake you know the Kai was her peaceful enough when you lot of them alone, but if you push a male fight through an off-marginal, we can't let him get away

with it. The Indians weren't responsible, Colonel. I got evidence to the contrary. Give me 24 hours and I'll prove it. Well, they certainly don't relish stirring up a tribal war, but just 24 hours. Well, all right.

You know where Jalisco is? You better turn him in. It'll save trouble. When any of my boys need discipline, I take care of it. Not this time other people are involved. Homesteaders Squatting on a measly 320 acres of pace running the whole country got right space. Oh says so I Do You luck Chester no, sir. I just thought by the jail here to see if you'd found it. I wish I had I'll head out again in a few minutes

Oh This tell has been waiting for you all morning mr. Dylan. Is that so? My name is Ezra Hawkins Marshall way I met for I I got a homestead up the river. It's only me much time to get to town.

I see. Well, what can I do for you, Mr. Hawkins? Well, it's about what happened to the Thompson family last night. The other homesteaders sort of pointed me to speak for the whole bunch. Alright, speak.

Well, we want to know what you aim to do about it, Mr. Dillon. I aim to get the killers. When? Mr. Hawkins, I've been up all night trying to get an answer to that question.

If you've got any information to offer a crime, if you haven't, what's up Chester? A trail herd get town a guess. Come on, let's decorate it. Let's go Chester. Yes, sir. Hold it there. Hold it.

My mind. Jail was occupied, boy. You men just blow into town. Three talking to men, Sheriff. These are purely wolves. and you're not talking to the sheriff, I'm the US Marshal. Where are the range boss?

There's Dudley, what about it? Dudley, we got a new law here against shooting off firearms inside the city limits. Yeah? You mean like this? Yeah! That's all I need! No Dudley, I mean more like this.

Hey! I'll be trickling right now. Now come on down off that horse. What year is he doing? He's got a knife! Yeah, so I see. Yeah. Nice work, Mr. Dillon. Drag him in and lock him up, Chester.

Throw some water on him. Yes, sir. Hey. All right, curly wolves. Your boss is jailed and fined $50. You can get him up tomorrow morning. We got the mama's mail. We'll take it out. I said tomorrow.

Now on the move. All of you. Get! Handle things right fine, Marshall, once you get started. Thanks, Hawkins. Only trouble is some of us homesteaders getting kind of impatient. The cabarache has been treating us pretty bad for too long.

The boys are all meeting in my place today. I reckon I can hold them back till tonight. You know what I mean, Marshall. Yeah. I saw it happen when I believe dirty and bloody. I'd hate to see it happen here.

Sure, I know what you mean. Range war. I'm holding in close to any time, huh? I'm all finished with the tops and the... All right, Doc. It goes pretty fast when you can line them that way for in a row, makes the job a lot easier.

Yeah, I imagine. Doc, have you ever seen a range war? No. I hear there's one boo on there. There is less Indian trouble. I don't bring in Jalisco people for tonight and find out who is three partners, where you're gonna have bodies lined up 20 in a row.

Well, that sure bring in a lot of fees. I could retire and buy myself a wrench. Sure, Doc. Oh, that sounds like Chester, man, sir. Yeah, he's been scottin' those thickets along the riverfront. Mr. Dylan, I brought in Jalisco.

Where is he, Chester? Outside, tied on the pack, new. Good. No, sir. I'm afraid it ain't so good. He's dead, been shot in the back and scalped.

That's Time CBS Chicago 90 Illinois. And now

with William Conrad starred as Matt Dillon, here's the second act of Gun Smoke. The second now, Martian. Here it comes now. Ah, ah, ah, ah. There's the bullet. It'll do you any good. It won't talk. The slugs I dig out of the bodies all look alike. Some day though they may figure a way to tell them apart.

Maybe even tell which gun fired which bullet. Oh no, not a chance even, Martian. Here I get to that's all I can do for the lake of the mountain. You see he's only wearing one spur.

Yeah, I know I got the mate to it here. That's what I wanted to talk to him about. It's too bad, Marshall. He's talking to his other. Yeah, somebody made sure of that, all right.

I'm gonna try to cover the trail by scalping him. Well, I can tell you one thing. It wasn't done by Indians. That's my guess too. I've seen how Indians do it down in the territory, up in the decoders, slick and clean.

Nothing like this. I could do a better job of my eyes closed. I bet you could. Well, I guess I'd better get ready for the rush. Looks like a showdown, my friend. And I don't see any way that you can stop.

Hey there, do I? Hiya, Kitty. Business again, man? Well, I was looking for Ben Roar. Isn't here. He left for an hour ago.

his boys came after him. Mad, I waited for you last night. I worked, kitty. All night? Yeah. It's a bad feeling near, mad. What is it? What's gonna happen? I wish I knew. They call all the soldiers from Sichu back to Fort Dodge this afternoon.

I hear they're planning to move out tonight. I hope not. A lot of homesteaders in here drinking today. That's unusual for things. What's going to happen tonight? Bloody is mess you've ever seen. And I don't know any way of stopping it.

If I'd only found Jalisco Pete before they killed him, now I got nothing to go on. Jalisco came in here last night late, have you gone for? What didn't you let me know? It wasn't time.

He already wanted me. He left right away, friends with him. Friends what friends I've never seen him before. Think Peter known him in the pay close country. You're all pretty young. How many were willing, Kelly?

Three, I guess. One of them was named Red Dudley. Red Dudley. And one called himself Tulsa Jim. It kept talking about the circle bar. Be brand. Yeah, it might be. It might be. They could have ridden in last night ahead of her herd to look up people in the name.

Oh, my show. So you better come on outside here. If you want to stop a lynching. Come and doc. Be careful, Matt. Be careful. What is it, doc? It's Ben Rourke and some of the catarages.

They caught themselves in Indiana and they're going to string him up. I've got it. There's any friends, Matt. We know what we're doing. I hope so, Ben. We'll be gone here. One of the murdering skunks who wiped out the Thompson's.

Any objections? I might work up some, Ben. What's your name, fella? He won't talk to you. I don't talk to you. It hasn't opened its mouth. Look, fella, as an Indian, you're a ward of the government.

I'm a U.S. Marshal. I represent the government. I'm here to protect you. Now, what's your name? He talks well. Work hard. Good man. No kill. What makes him think you did? Say kill people. No kill.

He pleads not guilty, Ben. Sure he does. And maybe you can explain why we caught him two miles from my ranch house. Is that reservation? What was he doing there? Mr. Rourke, may I can tell you what he was doing?

What? As Ro Hawkins. One side if you don't mind. Let me through here please. Let me tell you. Thank you. We got tired of waiting, Marshall. We come on into town. Maybe that was a mistake, Hawkins.

Maybe. You have to play it the way you see it. Look, Mr. Let's have it. What's this all about? I'm a homesteader, Mr. Rourke. Well, I accept your apology. It wasn't no apology, I just wanted you to know who those hundred men across the street were.

The old guns? A hundred, I'm... Well, the thirty of us are the odds aren't bad. What's on your mind? This Indian's been working for us, Mr. Rourke. Tracking down fence cutter. maybe that's why you caught him within two miles to your house got the nerve to come out and say what you mean homesteader you bit I have fence cutter all right

hold it now you're covered Ben and you two Hawkins this plays gone far enough not giving a man a chance to draw Matt not this time Ben all right kataks a climb off that horse and get over here behind me move slow and stay out of the line of fire. You men, be the side mix, a move, Ben and Hawkins will be the first to

get it, you understand? Doc, take us any of your office. Who shows you, how do we? Well, Matt, what's the next step? You can't keep us here with our hands in the air forever. I don't intend to. I got one of the murderers locked up in jail. I want you two to come along and listen to his statement, but leave

the questions to me. All right? It's just fine with me, Marshall. What's your show, Matt? Good. Come on. Chester? Chester? Looks kind of deserted, Matt. You may have gone back to the cells this evening.

Chester! Where are these girls? Ben Hawkins. What's the matter, Matt? Here, I'll get that gag off of them. You've come to ropes, Ben. Right. Easy enough. There. What happened, Chester? Oh, they slipped in and got the drop on me, Mr. Dillon.

Took Red Dudley with him. There was two of them, not more than 20 minutes ago. Who were they, you know them? Nope. Circle Barbie boys to think. They slugged me and thought I was out, but I heard them talking.

They were all in with Pete on the Thompson killing. Yeah, I know. And they killed Pete too. It was afraid you'd make him talk. The question now is where are they? I know where. They are Kansas rooms.

They are Kansas, and they planned a hole up there. It got dark. Maybe they've gone, but now though. Maybe not. Want some help, Matt? No thanks, Ben. my job mine and Chester's come on Chester let's go it's all dark you know doesn't mean a thing watch so when you drop behind that water crop here use your carbine it's more accurate yes you come out you're

under arrest the flashes Chester that came from the side window Mr. Dillon And the one there's somebody behind the other corner so Yeah, there was right the front of the building just to yes, I got one he's hanging out the wind Yeah, that's too down All right, come on out we care for me feeling it may be a trick it's up to him come on up Dudley

Well, hurry it up. I'm coming to pull it my leg. He's drawing Chester he started to See if you can find the doctor getting to help you pack these things over to the jail. Yes, right away.

Don't. Matt? Are you all right, Matt? Yeah. Yeah, I'm all right, Ben. I had a clean sweep, huh? Looks that way. Well, bullets are cheaper than a rope, I guess so. Ben, you and your boys aren't murderers like Red Dudley, but this business is a good This business of fence cutting can lead to a range war two.

Like it or not homesteaders here to stay. There's more of them coming in on every train. I know all that. Thus cattlemen built this country, man. A few more years now they'll have us fenced out of it.

Times change, Ben. There's range still left out west, and the Mexico, Arizona. Yes, I know. Some of us have been thinking about it. That they'll fence you out too, you know. Yeah, I guess they will.

Well, when that time comes, I'll move on. If I'm still around, farms and families. Next thing they'll do is set up courts and bring the law in here. Law's here now, Ben. God City, I'm the law.
