Brand Matter Rockets. It's fine now board Johnny Dollar, Bat McCracken, Johnny
1:41
Universal, just fine bad. What's now at the moment, I've never heard
1:46
of it? This morning, having a big celebration out there, Frontier Week.
1:49
So what do you want from me? A beard might help you get
1:53
out a growing one, Johnny? And how about oh sure? And my
1:57
heart is tied up in a bedroom? Now? All about that? From
2:00
what I can gather, Cooper's been was just a sweepy little western town dying
2:05
on his feet. That is until last week. So what happened last week?
2:07
A publicity man named Jill Williams organized this Frontier Week to wakes the town
2:13
up. I guess somebody out there doesn't like me wakes up? What do
2:15
you mean? Oh, looks like somebody is trying to put Bill Williams to
2:19
sleep a hard way. I'll mean right over. Bob Bailey. In the
2:30
Exciting Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed Expense Accounts, America's Fabulous Freelance
2:36
insurance investigator yours Curley Johnny Dollars, and I'll act one of yours Tooley Johnny
2:47
Dollar. Expense account submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dollar that the Home Office Universal
3:06
Adjustment Girl, Hertford, Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses encourage during
3:09
my investigation. Is the Killer's Brand Matter expense account out of one a dollar
3:19
twenty camp fare from my apartment at the Office of Universal Adjustment Bureau. Fred
3:23
mc cracken was waiting for me. Don't too much to go on, actually,
3:27
Johnny, but I figure it's worth your taking a trip out to Cooper's
3:29
Ben, as he was once one of the companies we represented. A testy
3:32
policy on Bill Williams's life. Who is this Bill Williams? What's he doing
3:36
a little of this? Little of that? I guess sort of a fly
3:38
by night type freelance publicity, that sort of thing. You suggested over the
3:43
phone that there'd been an attempt on his life out there. Well, at
3:45
least somebody took a shot at him. All you have any idea? Who
3:47
No, that's what I want you to find out. Should have been an
3:52
accident, pat Maybe somebody got carried away during a two o'clock in the morning,
3:55
Johnny, even during Frontier week people and Cooper's Ben. Don't stay up
3:59
that fleet. Okay, what do I find william There's only one hotel.
4:02
You look for him there, and Johnny, huh, watch yourself. Some
4:06
of those characters out there can shoot pretty straight, and one of them is
4:10
pretty riled up about them, and shoot straight he Miss Williams didn't. Oh
4:13
yeah, the first time expense account at him two one hundred and eighty seven
4:19
dollars fifty cents cincinnentos in transportation by plane and a rended car to Cooper's ben
4:24
Nevada. The town was baking in the sun when I arrived in the middle
4:28
of the afternoons a time. From the fact that there were cars parked in
4:30
the main street instead of a string of horses, the place could have easily
4:33
passed as a set for a Western movie. A saloon, a general store,
4:38
one weather beaten hotel or works. I kept wanting to go around behind
4:41
the buildings to see if they were real. It was even a big horse
4:45
drop in front of the hotel. I stopped for a moment to take a
4:47
look at it, and that was my first mistake. Suddenly I heard a
4:50
car trying it out on. Get it, look at him? A real
4:55
dum way off. This is kids stock. What do your main way?
4:58
Off of him? You know the front? Here we go, Hey,
5:00
look look what's this all about. I'm mister off with your shirt. My
5:02
shirt took a minute, partner. Anybody on the street from out of ten
5:06
gallon hacker in Frontier Week. Get chunk in the horse Tross. Oh look,
5:11
I just got into town. How am I supposed to know the rules?
5:13
Well, this is one good way of finding them out. Stay.
5:15
Anybody want to tell me a ten gallon hack? Click? Boy, buddy,
5:19
Well he's got a sense of humor. Anyway, howant I help you
5:23
off with your shirt? Siguer? Okay, okay, go hick down.
5:27
Just take it easy, partner, take it in. Welcome to Frontier Week.
5:34
I heard him, all, thanks, thanks a lot. I him
5:43
pretty fifty cents replacing the three buttons on my shirt. I've been a pond.
5:47
Farewell to the Horsetross committee. I went to the hotel to find Bill
5:50
Williams, the publicity man. He wasn't there at the moment, but the
5:54
clerk told me I might find him at the newspaper office that was three doors
5:57
down the street. The Cooper has been sent in a Bill Williams wasn't there,
6:01
but for the moment I didn't miss him at all. Oh, hello,
6:09
well hi, you must be miss Cooper's been Frontierweek? Ha ha,
6:15
you run the paper wrong again. I just work here. I'm not doing
6:17
very well so far, am I? Oh? I don't know. Don't
6:20
give up. Oh, I won't. My name's Johnny Dollar. Lois Johnny.
6:26
Well, I'm looking for a guy named Bill Williams. Lewis you know
6:29
him? Yeah, I know him. Where can I find him? Well,
6:32
this is a good at place, Donny. You ought to be here
6:34
soon. Last I saw him, he was, said Kirby. Kirby,
6:38
the editor of this paper. The two of them are all wrapped up in
6:41
further plans for glorious Frontier Week. I gather Frontier Week doesn't appeal to you.
6:46
It's a too big idea, like everything else about this time. Oh,
6:50
it's said, this is Johnny Dollar, said Kirby. Well, thanks,
6:55
but we've already met. Mister Kirby was one of the boys who helped
6:58
me take a swim in a horse trap a couple minutes ago. All in
7:00
fun, mister Dollar part of Frontier Week. Yeah, sure, Kervy,
7:04
I'm looking for Bill Williams. Oh, he's out making some final arrangements for
7:09
the rodeo this afternoon. He ought to be back in a few minutes.
7:11
Okay, any place I can get a cup of coffee while I'm waiting,
7:14
Oh sure, four doors down the streets. Can't miss it. I'll tell
7:16
you where it is. Dam fine, thanks, I thought you had some
7:21
work to get out of laws in a key. You don't mind, do
7:26
you say? Oh? No, of course not. I'll take your time.
7:35
As we left, I get sent an undercurrence between Lois and Fred Chrevy,
7:39
and I can see this point. I don't facto undercurrent. With two
7:43
miles to work, the lowest id him three twenty cents coffee for low us
7:46
to me. You're going to be in town long, Johnny? All depends
7:51
how long this frontier week last? This is the last day, Oh frodeo
7:56
this afternoon dance to night that ended, then goes back to sleep. Huh,
8:01
probably I won't be here to watch it though. Oh are you going
8:05
away as far away as I can get for good? Well? How about
8:11
your job? You mean the pat That's a job I think I can get
8:15
along without it. How about the editory? He get along without you?
8:18
Red Kirby, Sure, why not? I don't know, I thought he.
8:24
I've been looking for you having a cup of coffee. Obviously. This
8:26
is Johnny Dollar Dan Dan Bigger's Johnny Lance. Do I look low? It's
8:31
about the dance tonight? What time will I pick you up. Oh,
8:35
I don't know about the dance. Then I don't know if I'm going or
8:37
not. We're gonna go, Lois, I said, we're gonna go.
8:41
Oh for Heaven's say, thanks for the coffee, Lors. You know,
8:46
Biggs, if you don't mind my singing? So that approach doesn't seem to
8:50
go over so well with her. Yeah, well I do mind your saying,
8:54
so I don't need any advice from you. Okay, And just for
8:56
the record, Lows and iron Gate congratulates. Don't get funny with me.
9:01
Oh no, easy, figure, simmer down, you simmer down, dollars,
9:03
What do you mean? I mean? Stay away from Lowis? Are
9:05
you kidding? So I brought her a cup of coffee? Anything wrong with
9:07
that? You hurt me? Stay away from her. One thing about Mois,
9:16
he sure had the knack of stirring people up. The news that she
9:18
was engaged the biggest. It was quite a surprise, though, and I
9:20
wondered if she was as eager about it as he was. If so,
9:24
she didn't show it. But all of this wasn't getting my job done,
9:28
which was to find out who made the attempt on Phill Williams's life. I
9:31
went back to the newspaper office, and pretty soon he came in. He
9:33
turned out to be the gent who'd supervised my dunking and my horse job.
9:37
Well, you're probably not feeling very kindly toward me at the moment, dollars,
9:41
why not you come all the way out here to protect me and get
9:45
thrown in the trough right off to that? I didn't know you were,
9:48
But you better get yourself at ten gallon hats. That won't happen again.
9:50
Don't worry, I'm going to as I understand that, Williams, this Frontier
9:54
Week was your idea. Yeah, yeah, I was diving through it on
9:58
my way to Frisco a few weeks ago. The time was dead on its
10:00
feet, but I could see the possibilities of waking it up. So I
10:03
cooked up this teame. The town went for it. How come you were
10:05
so interested in waking the town up for the dough? What else? I
10:09
get ten percent of the gross on the rodeo dance and other celebrations. I
10:13
forget to get close to one thousand out of it, and frankly I can
10:16
use the money. I see. Well, how about this attempt on your
10:18
life? Come on, I'm back. I'll show you. Show me what
10:22
my car? There it is regulated, the windshields a bullet hole. How
10:33
did it happen? I was driving along the road just outside of town the
10:37
other night, and all of a sudden, why I am all and I
10:39
got a pretty good idea. Who did it? Oh the rancher Dan Biggers?
10:43
Oh why I smiled at Lloyds. Oh, now, look touchy as
10:46
big as it is about laws, that's not enough reasons. Oh wait,
10:50
wait she smiled back at me. Is that all it was to it?
10:54
Of course it was you think I'm crazy or something that's trigger happy? Big
10:56
As It's so jealous of it. He can't see straight, but enough to
11:00
get mixed up in anything like that. Yeah, he's jealous, all right.
11:03
Lawis and I worked together at the newspaper office on some of the publicity
11:07
for Frontier Week. Biggers didn't like that. Speaking of the newspaper, you
11:09
know the editor very well, with Fred Kirby and Mattie. When I first
11:13
came here is. Oh, why he's been keeping an eye on us through
11:16
the window ever since we've been standing here. Oh do you think he might
11:20
be interested in Lowis? It wouldn't surprise me. He makes that job of
11:24
hers on the paper pretty easy. For after all, it wouldn't be hard
11:26
to be interested in Lloyd. No, no, I'm sure it wouldn't.
11:30
Well, you'd better quit driving around the roads at night with him. Don't
11:33
worry. Ever since that happened, I've been staying right here in town at
11:35
night with a bright lights. I think I'm home free now. Anyway,
11:39
yeh, the dance tonight winds up Frontier week tomorrow noon, I get my
11:43
shair of the doughnut. I'm leaving. Lois mentioned something about leaving town then.
11:46
Yeah, she used to make noises about leaving when we were working together.
11:50
I doubt if she means it, though. I think he's just trying
11:52
to get Biggers riled up. That isn't hard way, man. Remember now,
11:56
she said it once in the office when Fred Kirby was around. What
12:00
was his reaction. He didn't say anything at all, but he gave her
12:03
a real funny look. I see, well, I got to go make
12:07
the final arrangements for the dance night. You're gonna be there, Oh yeah,
12:09
yeah. In the meantime, when you just better keep your eyes open.
12:11
Don't worry. Since that attempt on my life. I've sprouted eyes in
12:13
the back of my head. Oh and speaking of head, yeah, you
12:16
better get yourself a ten gallon hat. Very good advice. I had no
12:28
desire to get dunked again. I started across the street toward the Tennol store
12:31
and then realized my mistake. There was the reception committee again at the horse
12:35
stop. I had to get to that store off fast. I'll know played
12:39
it too kerry tellers. Oh well, expense item six fifteen bucks for a
12:48
two late ten gallon hat. The dance was in full swing when I got
12:58
there. I didn't see Lois to figure it looks like he didn't get that
13:01
date after all. Pretty too nice. Spotted Williams hear the bandstand. When
13:05
he saw me, he came over the proud Dollar. There are more people
13:09
in Cooper's Spend the night than ever heard of the place before Frontier week.
13:11
Man, I'm really going to cry. I stayed around a while, watching
13:18
Williams happily counting noses and adding up his ten percent. Then I went back
13:22
to the hotel. There was a message there from Lowis. She wanted to
13:26
see me. This I didn't get, but she left word it was important.
13:30
She's also left directions for getting to her house. So I drove off.
13:33
It was outside of town on a back row. The lights were on,
13:41
but nobody answered my not I waited a while and tried the door.
13:50
There was a fire burning in the fireplace, and the room looked very cozy,
13:54
all except for one thing. Lois. She was lying in front of
13:58
the heart, and she was very deaf. Act two of yours, two
14:18
eat Johnny Dollar in a moment. For a long time, people have been
14:20
saying that the earth is shrinking because transportation is getting faster and faster. And
14:26
because this is true, people are getting closer too. Today, our neighbors
14:31
are not only the ones who live next door to us, they're all over
14:35
the world. It is axiomatic that one should help his neighbors. But Americans
14:41
have gone a step further. In addition to individuals helping individuals, now many
14:46
American cities help many other cities through the sister City programs. Now perhaps you've
14:52
heard how it works. If not, here's an example or two. In
14:56
the fall of nineteen fifty nine, a large area of Nagoya, Japan,
15:01
was struck by a devastating typhoon. Her sister city, Los Angeles, California,
15:07
sent tons of relief materials to Nagoya by way of an Air Force plane
15:11
headed for the area. The Marines and the Navy rendered vital emergency aid during
15:16
the disaster. When earthquakes shook Villa del mar Chile, during the summer of
15:22
nineteen sixty, her sister city Sasalito, California, sent hundreds of dollars worth
15:28
of relief materials to help out. Another case in points, the school children
15:33
of Clovis, New Mexico, sent a number of cultural exchange packages to students
15:39
in their sister city of Adana, Turkey. There are hundreds of such examples,
15:45
because there are hundreds of sister cities. By using this means of diplomacy,
15:50
friendship and understanding have increased throughout the world and paved the way for permanent
15:56
freedom, the right of all men every where. And how act two of
16:02
yours, truly, Jolly Dollar and the Killer's brand better. What was dead
16:15
lying on the floor of a living room in front of the fireplace. There
16:18
was a popa near her hands that had been pulled out of the fire and
16:22
scorched the ruck. At first, that's what I thought she'd been hit with.
16:26
Then I took her clothes to him and see she stuck her head on
16:27
the heart. There were signs of a struggle in the Romans. Then suddenly
16:32
I heard a noise outside. I ducked into the next room on the side
16:36
door and eased outside. I listened nothing. Then I heard the car.
16:45
By the time I got around in front of the house, it was just
16:48
disappearing around the bend in the road, running without lights. It looked like
16:51
a station wagon, but that's about all I could make out. I went
16:53
back into the house and put in the call to the sheriff. He arrived
16:56
about twenty minutes later. It looks like there was a fight. She got
17:02
thrown down, hit her head on the hut. Yeah, that's the way
17:03
I started him. Now that size you up for a minute, Dallas me.
17:07
Mine's telling me what you were doing here tonight. I don't know.
17:11
Come on, come on, no, I mean it. Lois left a
17:15
message at my hotel if you wanted to see me. You don't know what
17:17
about? No, accept it's a good best that's killing ties in somehow with
17:21
that attempt on Bill William's life. Welliams thinks it was Dan Biggers took that
17:25
shot at him. Yeah, that's right, it could be. Dan's always
17:27
been awful jealous. I had trouble with him once, fool for the same
17:30
reason. A month ago he beat up a guy pretty bad and I kind
17:34
of lost. Yeah, he seems the guy had asked Lois for a date,
17:37
So it was Lewis never discouraged guys asking either. Hey, look sheriff.
17:41
Lois told me earlier today that she was planning to leave town tomorrow.
17:45
Now if Dan Bigger has learned about that, Yeah, come on, we
17:51
better drive out his ranch and never talk with him. Uh, there's the
18:06
gate Johnny Ranch houses up on the ride. Yeah, no lights on up
18:15
there. Do you think Dan might have cleared out, came from that clump
18:22
and brush over there right where you are, suff I've got your color.
18:26
I don't be a fool. Dan. You drop that gun and come out
18:29
of there and to take me in. Huh. I'm not going just now,
18:33
Jeff. Look, Dan, I'm gonna find out who to take care
18:37
of me, and you can touch me earlier. Watch very interesting. You
18:41
should know about the killing already, Dan. I can think that one reason
18:45
you might again, it was in time when the call came in that he
18:51
told me about it. I figure it differently. Dan, you found out
18:55
Lois is gonna leave town tomorrow. Leave, You're crazy. That's what she
18:59
told me. He'd never do that. You'll try to stop her. She
19:03
grabbed a poker and swung at you. You threw it down on my heart.
19:06
I said, lie, you hear me, Dan, you're acting like
19:07
a fool. Oh, now give me that gun. I'm not thrumming in
19:14
now, Geff, I gotta put these shots where I want to. Don't
19:18
make me put him in you. Okay, Dan, you got to drop
19:22
on us now, But I'm coming back. I'm gonna take you one way
19:26
or another. You know, Sheriff, I can't help any kind of story.
19:37
But Dan, Yeah, he always did have a knock in his drain
19:40
where Louis was concerned. You really think he killed him? I don't know.
19:44
Dan's pretty smart sometimes, rutine. He was just giving us. This
19:48
might have been a cover, Sheriff. You happen to know if Dan drives
19:52
the station wagon he drives are picked up around town mostly and uh, he's
19:56
got a coop too, but no season wagon. Why that's what I spotted
20:00
pulling away from lord's house. He didn't get the license numbers. No,
20:03
it was running without lights. Not much help Jenny. A lot of station
20:07
wagons. In the start of the company, I spent account out of eight
20:18
one dollar two drinks from me while I tried to put some pizza together.
20:22
However much I shifted them around, they still seemed to add up to Dan
20:25
Biggers. Somehow I wasn't convicted, but he was the killer. Why hadn't
20:30
he taken off? Of course, maybe he figured he couldn't very well leave
20:33
his rank. So I went round and round again and ended up nowhere.
20:37
I started singing some other possibilities. Bill Williams, for instance, I'd seen
20:41
him at the dance, but he could have left for half an hour and
20:45
nobody'd have missed him in the crowd. But why I couldn't figure any motive
20:49
for him? And then I thought of Fred Kirby. He edited, Yeah,
20:53
he might be worth talking to him. So I went to the newspaper
20:56
office. Kirby and Bill Williams. Were there any idea who killed her?
21:00
Jenny? I don't know, Williams. That's what I want to talk to
21:03
the two of you about. I'll bet anything it was Dan Biggers. What
21:07
makes you so sure, Kirby, you saw him around loss, you know
21:11
the way he was question is if he did it? Why Llis said she
21:15
was leaving. Maybe he couldn't stand the idea. He claims he didn't know
21:18
she was planning to leave you. That's a lie. I heard her tell
21:21
him once, right here in this office. You know, it's quite a
21:23
coincidence. But Lois was going to leave town tomorrow, Williams, So were
21:29
you. You weren't, by any chance going to leave together, now were
21:33
you? Now? Look, gee, man, I told you there was
21:34
nothing between us. Do you think I'm a jerk to go fooling around with
21:37
her? Knowing what Biggers was like? Sure, she kidded me about what
21:41
was it, Kirby hitching the ride to Frisco with me? Yeah? Here
21:45
in the office once, William's just laughed off and after allow us two of
21:48
us. Hey, wait a minute, if Figures happened to hear about it,
21:52
Yeah, maybe no, Dollar, I was smart enough not to get
21:56
involved with it. Matter of fact, I guess I'm one of the few
21:59
guys in time you can make that state. Hey, you don't have to
22:00
talk that way about her. I'm sorry I guess I'm tired. O you
22:04
turn in. You see in the Morney dollar you'll be around huh yeah,
22:08
to pick up my money. You know, Kirby, you're trying pretty hard
22:15
to pend this on Dan Bigure's why because I think he did it. He
22:18
didn't want to blow us to leave if someone else didn't want it to leave
22:22
either. Woo you what you've been carrying the torch? Beelow? It's quite
22:26
a while, haven't you. What's that got to do with it? What
22:29
business is it of yours? I think it all times in well, I
22:32
didn't kill her. If that's what you're saying. Drive a station wagon,
22:34
don't you? After I discovered her body, I spotted the station wagon leaving
22:40
her house. A lot of guys drive station wagons around here. I wasn't
22:42
near her place. I didn't use the wagon at all tonight, you're aling,
22:45
I'll look tiring. Open up, Kurby, Okay, Doll. I
22:52
drove out to her place to try to talk her out of leave it go
22:56
on. That's all there is. I got there, eye, changed my
22:59
mind and came back to town. I didn't go inside dollar. I didn't
23:03
kill her, I swear it. I called the sheriff, and he took
23:12
Kirby in for further question. But by morning he hadn't changed his story.
23:18
Oh, he admitted being is the scene of the murder, but that's all
23:21
he'd admit. He was still a big question mark and we were still nowhere.
23:26
The sheriff went out the biggest ranch again. I'm hoping Dan would give
23:29
himself up peaceable if he knew Kirby was in customer. I had a cup
23:33
of coffee and went outside. Bill Williams was in front of the hotel.
23:37
Didn't knowing the killing Jenny, and you know Kirby was being questioned. Yeah,
23:42
surprised me at first, but then I get to think, you know,
23:45
he's a strange guy. He doesn't say much, but there's a lot
23:48
going on inside, particularly about Lord. Yeah. Yeah, did you get
23:52
your cut of the door from Frontier Week? All right, and well,
23:56
I'm sure glad it's over. That killing last night turned a whole deale Stur'd
24:00
be glad to get the taste of this time out of my mouth. When
24:03
are you leaving? I tell the sheriff I'd be around in case he wants
24:06
me to prefore the question. I leave when he says the word, what's
24:10
with the crowd? Headings? Last, what are you talking about? You
24:15
ain't wearing your gallon hat, and shore looks like a horse. You're sing
24:21
what frontailwakets over. I'm a momer, but jose this money I lay off?
24:29
No, not this morning. I'm thinking the whole idea. I said
24:32
lay off, and I made it. The brown broke up and drifted away,
24:44
and the street went to sleep again. But all of a sudden I
24:47
woke up. I thought of that hot poker I found lying there low as
24:49
this body, and a couple of things ended up fast. Sure it was
24:52
a wild idea, but it was with a chance a bunch of jerks.
24:56
Hey, you know, Bill, when I first arrived in town, you
24:59
du in this horse trough because I wasn't wearing a ten gallon hat. Yeah,
25:03
it was part of Front tierwek Well you're not wearing a hat now,
25:07
look like I saw those guys Front Tier weeks old. I still want to
25:10
return the compliments. Am I gonna have trouble with you two dollars? I
25:11
guess you are, because I'm gonna duck you in that trough. Take off
25:15
your shirt. Let's stay away from it, Take it off, Get your
25:18
hands off of me. What's the matter You were afraid to take it off?
25:19
What are you talking about? God go? I said, what's worth?
25:25
What are you know? A nice big burn on your chest and on
25:27
your arm. A few scratches too. Lois did that just before you killed
25:33
it? Branded Okay, smart boy, there's a gun in my Pocumint's pointed
25:36
right at you to just relax. You were a lot more involved with Lowis
25:38
than you were letting on Williams. Why did you kill her? I was
25:41
trying to shake her. She wouldn't shake it. She wanted to go with
25:42
you. Huh Yeah, and that would have been just great dragging him.
25:45
Well, I was dragging something like her with me to sent Francisco. That's
25:48
a real sweet thing to say. I suppose you said it to her too.
25:51
That's when she grabbed the poker. Come on, Bella, we're getting
25:53
off the street. And now moved My hand was besides the horse trot.
25:59
I scooped water right into his face. A shot went wild, but his
26:03
chin was wide open. Yeah, Bill Williams got d after all. Expensive
26:18
count Item ten one hundred and eighty three dollars fifty cents transportation and Incinto's back
26:23
home total expenses five hundred and twenty eight dollars. Remarks about Day Biggers,
26:30
he really wasn't just a bad guy, except that, like the sheriff said,
26:34
he had a nod in his reign. About Lowess, he sold his
26:37
ranch and moved away. About Bill Williams, well you better cancel out his
26:42
policy, Pats, he's due to go on trial soon, and in my
26:47
books, he's a pretty bad risk yours truly, Johnny Dollars. Our star
27:03
will return in just a moment. Our flag now numbers fifty stars, and
27:08
behind each star there stands yet another flag representing one of the fifty states.
27:14
Oklahoma state flag detects an osage warriors circular buckskin shield from which hang seven eagle
27:21
feathers. Across the shield is the Indian's calumet or pipe of peace cross with
27:26
a white man's peace symbols. The olive branch on the shield are small crosses
27:32
the Indian's graphics sign for stars indicating lofty ideals or a purpose for high endeavors.
27:38
The background of the flag is a field of blue, the blue of
27:42
the Oklahoma sky, signifying loyalty and devotion. The important symbols, however,
27:48
are the calumet and the olive branch. These override the shield, the symbol
27:53
of war, and bespeak a predominant love of peace by a united people.
28:00
Oklahoma state flag, the flag of the forty sixth state to enter the Union,
28:03
was adopted on April second, nineteen twenty five. Oh here's that's God.
28:08
I tell you about next week's story. Next week a terrible sun that
28:12
yields up a body from the deep. Joy us, won't you you are?
28:17
Tully Johnny Do, welcome back. I love how they worked this particular
28:33
story, introducing the getting thrown into the water trough thing as a comedy element
28:41
and then having it turn out to be a clue to solving the case.
28:45
Also, this does make you nostalgic for the days before people were so soe
28:49
happy. You can't just can't go and grab somebody and throw them into the
28:53
water trough anymore. Well, now we turn to listener comments and feedback,
28:57
and we we have an iTunes review Scooby Neoby Rights. I was a faithful
29:04
