Oh, what do you mean doc? But they were cowboys my son cowboys just don't generally carry buffalo guns

14:51Yeah, 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

15:53Their 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

16:56There 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

17:58Yeah, 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

18:59No, 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

20:01They 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

21:05I 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

22:08Look 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

23:08They 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

24:13Spicer 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

25:15All 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

26:16The 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

27:23That 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

28:24Spicer 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

29:25You 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 Yeah Gun smoke under the direction of Norman McDonald's tires William Conrad as Matt Dillon US Marshall Tonight's story was specially written for gun smoke by John Maston With music composed and conducted by Rex Corey Featured in tonight's cast were Harry Bartel, Larry Dobgan, Herb Vigrant and Jack Crucian Farley Bayer is Chester and Howard McNair is dark
