• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm not going to run away, Marshall. You ran
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: once Boudery. All right, I'll tell you something and maybe
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: you'll trust me a little.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Then tell me what would you like to know? Who
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Zimmer is?
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Zimmer?
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: He that real testing fella. I don't like him at all.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: He's always on the prodbout.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Something right, Wait a minute, what about Zimmer Boudery?
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: His real name is Chess Ryan.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: So well, at least that's the name was under his picture.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Where was this picture? But in California? Tacked onto a pole?
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Go on, well, I think the reward was five hundred dollars.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Because it ain't certain. You're sure it was his picture?
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Marshall, I'm sure heard a lot of talk about
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: him in Sacramento, just for a left but kind of talk. Well,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: like one time he rode in a stagecoach as a passenger,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: and he was peaceful enough until some fellows on horses.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: They stopped at stage in a canyon summers and.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Then this here, Chess Ryan, he pulled a gun on
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: the other passengers, and he disarmed him Whilst the boys
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: outside unloaded the treasure box.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: They had an extra saddle horse.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Along and Ryane he rode off with him. That's the
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: way I heard.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: It seems to me he went into a lot of trouble.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: And sometimes the passengers give road agents as much fight
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: as the driver and messenger.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Chest do they feel safe because they're inside, And that's
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: what Chess Ryan figured. Are you going to arrest in Marshall?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I can't arrest a man without cause boding and may
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: be telling the truth, but I don't know that for sure.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I can check on the zimmer when we get to
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Fort Donner, but I can doo the lens. Keep an
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: eye on well.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: This stage will be robb long before it gets to
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Fort Downer.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Marshall, Yeah, it maybe, but not without a fight. Thanks
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: for telling me about rain for your sake. I hope
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: it's the truth. If it isn't, you're going to be
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: in more trouble than the iron. Now, all right, keep
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: an eye on him Chester. I'll be back in a
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: few minutes.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Very much.

  Speaker 12: What's on your mind?
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Mister?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: How long you've been an express messenger Berryman? Two years?

• 12:47
  Speaker 3: hold up between here and Fort Donner.

• 12:54
  Speaker 12: could keep hidden it. We were right on top of him,
• 12:57
  Speaker 12: all right.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Tell the driver to whip those horses through. Will have
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: been as fast as they will go. Chester will be

  Speaker 3: horse in sight, and out of the two windows facing
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: us poured thin streams of white smoke. As the stage
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: pulled a stock, I saw two arrows and had it
• 18:15

• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Behind me, and before anybody could move, Zimmer grab gand
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: and using him as a shield, he walked backward towards
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: the stage. The old man stopped struggling when he felt
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Zimmer's gun in his back, and the rest of us
