Gunsmoke brought to you by Chesterfield. Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed thanks to Accuré. They satisfy the most. Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. marshal and the smell of gun smoke.
Gun smoke, starring William Conrad, the transcribed story of the violence that moved west with young America. And the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal.
The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancy job, and it makes a man watchful. And a little lonely. Do you know that man? She'll be... Oh, looks like some kind of tenderfoot to me.
Who else is camping the grove of trees cutting the water? You have a little top there. You look scared, cringles. Seemed man looked scared before. Hello, mister. Oh, camped here all along? Yeah, he's scouting around for some homestead land.
Good looking horse you got over there. He seems to be a good horse. He's awfully young. I think I'll take a look there. Sure. What you men doing out here? Oh, you just ride around.
We scout for things too. Land? Uh-uh. We ain't the kind of settled down to hard work like that. I had a little orchard back in Ohio raised apples. Yeah. Apples is fine. Wish I had one now.
Hey, Cringo. Yeah. That there a horse ain't got no brand on him. No brand. It washed off crossing the river. You're talking about washed off? It did. I ain't lying. No matter, don't. Go get your rope shield.
