- 4:28Speaker 2: And another thing. The next time any one of you
- 4:32Speaker 2: brings are rope into town, you keep it tied to
- 4:34Speaker 2: your saddle, you understand.
- 4:47Speaker 6: The shoveling started at the little town of Rome in
- 4:50Speaker 6: New York State back in eighteen hundred and seventeen, and
- 4:53Speaker 6: on July fourth, nineteen hundred and sixty seven, the Post
- 4:57Speaker 6: Office released a spatial sesqu centennial stamp there in honor
- 5:02Speaker 6: of the big ditch they dug, which it says on
- 5:06Speaker 6: the stamp in my album here was the Erie Canal. Now,
- 5:11Speaker 6: in case you don't know, that canal went all the
- 5:13Speaker 6: way from Buffalo on Lake Erie to the Hudson River,
- 5:16Speaker 6: connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean, the biggest
- 5:21Speaker 6: waterway ever built in the United States at the time,
- 5:24Speaker 6: and it was done mostly by the Irish, just over
- 5:27Speaker 6: from the Old Country, who did the digg in with
- 5:31Speaker 6: spit and muscle, made lots of money for years on tolls,
- 5:36Speaker 6: and the traffic and freight and people through the canal
- 5:38Speaker 6: was mainly responsible for building up the Midwest and keeping
- 5:42Speaker 6: business in the East busy doing it well. Of course,
- 5:46Speaker 6: the Erie Canal ain't what she used to be because
- 5:49Speaker 6: the railroads do most of the job now, But the
- 5:52Speaker 6: big ditch is still there, and so is all the
- 5:55Speaker 6: history that went through it.
- 6:13Speaker 7: You the Marshall Hall, that's right. I'm Jesse Hyatt. How'd
- 6:19Speaker 7: I get here, Marshall?
- 6:21Speaker 2: We carried you here, Jesse. How do you feel, oh, Marshall?
- 6:29Speaker 7: I couldn't feel, no, sir. If they drove or heard of.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Long horns over me, how that could have been worshiped?
- 6:36Speaker 2: How they were fixing their hanging.
- 6:37Speaker 7: You know, some Marshall Dodge sitting into the friendliest down
- 6:41Speaker 7: in the world when he came right down to it.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Not for horse thieves, anyway.
- 6:46Speaker 5: I didn't steal them horses.
- 6:47Speaker 7: I tried to tell them that, but they wouldn't listen,
- 6:50Speaker 7: especially that red faced mouthy fella.
- 6:53Speaker 2: All that's Dell Braggan. They're his horses.
- 6:57Speaker 7: I hit town, left the horses there at the livery
- 6:59Speaker 7: store while I went up the street to eat.
- 7:02Speaker 6: When I come back, they all jumped me. He did
- 7:04Speaker 6: have his horses?
- 7:05Speaker 2: Who says they're his? I do for one. I went
- 7:08Speaker 2: over and took a look at him. They disappeared off
- 7:11Speaker 2: his ranch about a month ago.
- 7:13Speaker 7: I don't know nothing about that all I know is
- 7:15Speaker 7: that I bought him, fair and honest where from a
- 7:18Speaker 7: horse dealer in Wichita about two weeks ago.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Yeh, what was his name?
- 7:23Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 7:24Speaker 7: I think he was just traveling through. He offered me
- 7:27Speaker 7: a bargain, so I bought him. I was coming on
- 7:29Speaker 7: west and I needed.
- 7:30Speaker 2: A pair of good horses. Can you remember what he
- 7:31Speaker 2: looked like?
- 7:33Speaker 1: Oh?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Well none?
- 7:35Speaker 7: Not a good, fast talking fellow, black whiskers, dressed like
- 7:41Speaker 7: most anybody else. I ain't even sure i'd known him.
- 7:43Speaker 7: If I was to meet him again, I see, well.
- 7:47Speaker 7: I didn't pay no special mind. There was no reason
- 7:49Speaker 7: to Marshall. I bought them horses, no matter what anybody said.
- 7:53Speaker 2: That's gonna be kind of hard to prove.
- 7:55Speaker 7: And Jesse, not if you find that trader I bought
- 7:58Speaker 7: them from, where would you look for him?
- 8:03Speaker 2: I don't know, you see, That's what I mean.
- 8:08Speaker 5: And they're gonna have.
- 8:09Speaker 2: A trial on me. Yeah, I'm breaking the file charges.
- 8:13Speaker 5: What do you think will happen?
- 8:15Speaker 2: Now? And I hard to say?
- 8:19Speaker 5: Ala, Jerry figured, I ain't got a.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Chance, have I? Marshall?
- 8:24Speaker 6: Now, there's always a chance. At least you're not swinging
- 8:27Speaker 6: on a rope.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Tell me. What are you doing a dodge in the
- 8:31Speaker 2: first place?
- 8:32Speaker 5: Just passing through?
- 8:33Speaker 7: I got an aunt who lives alone up river, she wrote,
- 8:36Speaker 7: you needed help run the place.

- 8:49Speaker 5: Uh, there ain't nothing, Marshall. I'm a gorner. We both
- 8:54Speaker 5: know it.

- 14:26Speaker 2: hand it over it.
- 14:27Speaker 5: I'm warning you.
- 14:29Speaker 2: I will shoot. You'll still be locked inside the cell.

- 14:48Speaker 7: out so there wouldn't be no accident.
- 14:50Speaker 2: But you got a Jesse.
- 14:52Speaker 7: That kid bringing in this afternoon, he had it under
- 14:55Speaker 7: your shirt.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Huh you mean Tommy? Break it.
- 14:58Speaker 5: I don't know his name.
- 15:01Speaker 7: He said he was sorry for me, and he said
- 15:04Speaker 7: he'd come back in the morning about sun up and
- 15:05Speaker 7: try to sneak the key out of the office.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Real nice kid, Tommy Bragien.
- 15:13Speaker 7: I can't figure why you go to all that trouble,
- 15:15Speaker 7: not even knowing me.
- 15:18Speaker 6: I can't either, Jesse, but I'll ask him when he
- 15:23Speaker 6: comes back in the morning.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Hometowns in America have a lot in common, and yet
- 15:51Speaker 1: they're each one of a kind. Take for example, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
- 15:55Speaker 1: The smoky city is smoking less now and enjoying it
- 15:58Speaker 1: more because Pittsburgh's decided a decade or so ago that
- 16:03Speaker 1: enough was enough. Now there's smoke and polluted air problem
- 16:07Speaker 1: is virtually non existent. Over in Shady Side, you can
- 16:11Speaker 1: catch the pit crowd at the Encore, or the party
- 16:14Speaker 1: may have moved across the street and down on the
- 16:16Speaker 1: corner to Foxes. On Granted seventh, the lighted dome of
- 16:20Speaker 1: the Coppers Building signals the weather, and at Gateway Center,
- 16:24Speaker 1: the Menongahela and the Alleghany form the Ohio at the
- 16:27Speaker 1: Golden Triangle. Pittsburgh's people meet under the clock at Kaufman's
- 16:32Speaker 1: on Smithfield or lunch at Lamont in Mount Washington. Meanwhile,
- 16:38Speaker 1: the pirates play at Forbes Field, the teens are at
- 16:41Speaker 1: McKee's Port's Quite Elephant office workers drift in Melon Square,
- 16:46Speaker 1: and the animal's napped.
- 16:47Speaker 6: At Highland Park Zoo. But if your hometown is Pittsburgh,
- 16:51Speaker 6: you already know this. We only wanted to remind you.
- 16:54Speaker 6: It's still there.
- 17:04Speaker 4: Who very coming, mister Dill riding that pinto pony?
- 17:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I see him.
- 17:23Speaker 4: Look suggests he was telling the truth.
- 17:25Speaker 2: He may have been all a long, Chester, Yeah.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Wouldn't mind gritting her. So a young puppy like Tommy
- 17:30Speaker 3: breaking sneaking guns into jail, trying to help prisoners break out.
- 17:35Speaker 2: He ought to be switched good. Maybe he's been switched
- 17:38Speaker 2: too much already.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Okay, walking tiptoe moving real quiet.
- 17:44Speaker 4: I guess he thinks we ain't up yet.
- 17:46Speaker 6: Then we mustn't disappoint him. He got back to your
- 17:49Speaker 6: bucking hight down Uh.
- 17:52Speaker 4: A pool kiddings and bodies.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Haush, be quiet, Jess. Alright, let's surprise him Chester, right,

- 18:32Speaker 7: Oh Marshall?
- 18:34Speaker 3: I thought you was.

- 18:39Speaker 2: was really asleep. Uh, what's going on here?
- 18:42Speaker 7: What are you doing here?
- 18:43Speaker 1: Tommy?

- 18:48Speaker 2: You gave him a gun yesterday, Tommy, that you want
- 18:50Speaker 2: him to kill me with it? That thought we were friends.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Nor it wasn't to.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Kill you with. It is to keep off from getting

- 21:32Speaker 6: With your permission, I like to quote an excerpt from
- 21:34Speaker 6: a speech by that old political character Elijah Cuddlestone, And
- 21:39Speaker 6: I say, if we'll stay and declare that is that
- 21:43Speaker 6: pork barrel appropriations are not going to be our salvation
- 21:46Speaker 6: we must, I say, we have to get up on
- 21:49Speaker 6: our hind legs. I mean you stand up and fight for.
- 21:52Speaker 5: Our own improvements.
- 21:54Speaker 6: The pork barrel is poor ropers, I.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Mean the greedy and the weak.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Who that is that term pork barrel?
- 22:03Speaker 6: You know what it means, Well, pork is fat, and fat,
- 22:06Speaker 6: for hundreds of years, has meant plenty, abundance.
- 22:10Speaker 2: You shall eat the fat of the land.
- 22:13Speaker 6: About one hundred years ago in the halls of Congress,
- 22:15Speaker 6: fat meaning lucrative or rewarding, became pork. And about fifty
- 22:20Speaker 6: years ago, when congressmen sought larger appropriations for such things
- 22:25Speaker 6: as bridges, harbor or river improvements, public buildings, and so
- 22:29Speaker 6: forth to impress their constituents, they were accused of seeking
- 22:33Speaker 6: pork barrel appropriations.
