- 1:04Speaker 2: I think it was the nastiest weather I'd ever seen.
- 1:08Speaker 2: It wasn't that there had been a big storm or anything.
- 1:11Speaker 3: It was just plain nasty.
- 1:13Speaker 2: The sun hadn't shone for three and a half weeks,
- 1:16Speaker 2: nothing but huge banks of black clouds that filled the
- 1:19Speaker 2: sky and never moved. And when it finally broke, it
- 1:26Speaker 2: was the downpour of the coldest and dreariest rain he
- 1:29Speaker 2: ever saw.
- 1:31Speaker 3: For two days, Chester and I never went out of
- 1:33Speaker 3: the office. We didn't need to.
- 1:35Speaker 2: There was nothing going on in town. There wasn't a
- 1:37Speaker 2: soul on the streets. Everybody just holed up. Chester and
- 1:42Speaker 2: I kept the fire going to the stove and tried
- 1:44Speaker 2: to keep as warm as we could. And then on
- 1:48Speaker 2: the morning of the third day.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Mister Dylon, mister wake up this well What is it?
- 1:56Speaker 3: Chester, what's the matter?
- 1:57Speaker 5: Look out the windows take a life.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Well, what's the matter, what's happening?
- 2:02Speaker 4: Just look it stopped raining, the foulger beginning to blow away.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Why I bet you we'll be seeing the sun before
- 2:08Speaker 4: the day is over.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Well, I hope you're right.
- 2:10Speaker 2: We could use the little sunshine, we sure could.
- 2:13Speaker 4: You know, mister Dillon and I have been so blue
- 2:15Speaker 4: for the last couple of days.
- 2:16Speaker 5: I bet oh, I boil some coffee for you, Thomas Stove.
- 2:20Speaker 4: Oh thank you, Chester, Like like I was saying, I've
- 2:23Speaker 4: been just awful, little mister Dillon.
- 2:25Speaker 5: It's funny how the weather affects.
- 2:27Speaker 2: You and it does almost everybody.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Chester.
- 2:33Speaker 2: A coffee's good, Chester, i'd you like to go for
- 2:38Speaker 2: a little ride, Huh? Make us feel good to get
- 2:41Speaker 2: out in the open after being cooped up for the
- 2:43Speaker 2: last couple of days. Why don't we write down to
- 2:45Speaker 2: old man Johnson's I've been meaning to talk to him.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Anyway, When I say that's a wonderful iday, mister Dillon,
- 2:50Speaker 4: I'd be proud to go.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Besides, Thlough needs a good workout.
- 2:55Speaker 5: I don't know anything that's worse for a horse than
- 2:57Speaker 5: just stand.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Around all right, all right, Chester, I'm gonna take time
- 3:01Speaker 2: to shave, and then we'll get some breakfast and ride out.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Well, yes, sir.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Mister Dylon, Yes sir, you are right, mister Dillon. Nothing
- 3:25Speaker 4: like a ride in real brisk weather to make you
- 3:27Speaker 4: feel fitter in a fiddle.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I'd say it's a little more than Bristchester. It's downright cold.
- 3:32Speaker 2: This one doesn't help much.
- 3:34Speaker 4: Well, we haven't got much farther to go.
- 3:37Speaker 5: How far would you say?
- 3:38Speaker 3: We've come about fifteen miles?
- 3:40Speaker 5: Well, then we should be there pretty soon.
- 3:43Speaker 4: There. Look at there, mister, don't want to tell you.
- 3:46Speaker 4: There's a patch of sunlight. Just come through over there
- 3:48Speaker 4: to the right. See, my, isn't that pretty?
- 3:52Speaker 3: Chester? There?

- 4:18Speaker 4: leaning again in the tree.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Why it's an Indian.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Yeah, a woman that fell up. He oh, I don't

- 8:58Speaker 3: About this, and I'm gonna find out what.
- 9:00Speaker 5: What do you mean?
- 9:01Speaker 3: She was wearing a gold wedding ring.
- 9:04Speaker 5: It's with Mitter Dillon. Indians don't use wedding rings.
- 9:07Speaker 3: I know.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Then you mean you think she was married to a
- 9:11Speaker 2: white man. Then yeah, here's a necklace that thanks, Doc.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Have any of you heard of anybody around town Mary
- 9:23Speaker 2: and an Indian girl in.
- 9:24Speaker 3: The last year or so?
- 9:26Speaker 9: No?
- 9:26Speaker 5: No, no, Well, there ain't but one square man in
- 9:29Speaker 5: the whole town. And I know, uh Jack Benson, and
- 9:32Speaker 5: he married his squaw some may or ten years ago.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Uh.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Then we're gonna have to start from the other end.
- 9:37Speaker 3: But he got to identify her. I'll have to find
- 9:40Speaker 3: out what tribe she's from. And she looks like in
- 9:42Speaker 3: a wrapper home at her clothing. Oh, I thought that too, Doc,
- 9:46Speaker 3: But witch camp.
- 9:46Speaker 2: There are three of rapper hole camps within forty miles
- 9:49Speaker 2: A here, say.
- 9:50Speaker 5: Mr Dlon, Maybe Grady who could help you?
- 9:53Speaker 2: Yeah, Uh, he's camped on by Sandy Fork, now.
- 9:56Speaker 5: Is you know you? He's about the friendly's Indian around
- 9:59Speaker 5: here these days.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Said, Man, don't you think this might cause trouble if
- 10:03Speaker 4: you let them know that a white man is mixed.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Up in his huh? Uh?
- 10:07Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be better to just bury her?
- 10:09Speaker 2: And do you think that's the right thing?
- 10:14Speaker 3: Duck on, No, no, no, I guess no.
- 10:18Speaker 4: But I was talking to Colonel Jackson out the Fourth
- 10:20Speaker 4: the other day and he said he was expecting us
- 10:22Speaker 4: to have some real Indian trouble any day now and
- 10:25Speaker 4: this might start.
- 10:26Speaker 2: So I know there's that possibility, Doc, But I also
- 10:28Speaker 2: know that there was something behind this.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Girl's death, and I think it's.
- 10:32Speaker 2: My duty to find out what. I'm sure I can
- 10:36Speaker 2: talk to Great Eagle and get what information I need
- 10:38Speaker 2: without stirring up anything.
- 10:40Speaker 3: I hope you're right, man, Yeah, I hope I am too.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Chester.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Yes, mister Jellan, get our things ready.
- 10:48Speaker 2: We'll start for Great Eagle's camp tonight. I figured it'd
- 11:00Speaker 2: take us about five hours, and I was pretty close
- 11:03Speaker 2: to right. The sun had been up maybe thirty or
- 11:06Speaker 2: forty minutes, and we came to the crest of a
- 11:08Speaker 2: range of hills, and there spread out below us, alongside
- 11:12Speaker 2: the Sandy Fork, was Great Eagle's camp. We were spotted
- 11:16Speaker 2: a good.
- 11:16Speaker 3: While before we got there, and when we pulled up, all.
- 11:19Speaker 2: The squaws that disappeared, and we were greeted by what
- 11:22Speaker 2: looked like the entire male population.
- 11:25Speaker 3: H I just stood and watched us sullenly as we dismounted.
- 11:36Speaker 5: I don't think they're too happy to see us. Mister Dillon.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, maybe right, Chester, I Uh, I've come to
- 11:47Speaker 2: see your leader, Grade Eagle. Tell him his friend Matt
- 11:52Speaker 2: Dillon has written from Dodge City to see him.
- 11:57Speaker 5: Maybe they don't understand it.
- 11:59Speaker 3: Now they understand stand alright. Please tell Great Eagle it's
- 12:04Speaker 3: of importance that I see him. You are not wanted here.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Great Eagle will not see you.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Why don't you let Great Eagle decide that now? Tell
- 12:17Speaker 3: him I wish to see him.
- 12:22Speaker 2: I know, cause I say both that day he does.
- 12:25Speaker 7: Kay, Great Eagle, he's ill, but I will tell him
- 12:35Speaker 7: you are here.
- 12:39Speaker 5: I thought for a minute there that we'd rode all
- 12:42Speaker 5: this way for nothing.
- 12:43Speaker 4: Mister dimm Uh, we may have Chester, I wouldn't say
- 12:47Speaker 4: these fellows is very sociable with you now.
- 12:52Speaker 5: Doc must have been right about trouble abrud By the
- 12:55Speaker 5: last time we was out here, Great Eagle was real friendly.
- 12:59Speaker 2: That's sorry.
- 12:59Speaker 3: I don't know what we've done.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Master you you're talking too much.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Yes, come.
- 13:20Speaker 7: Here inside, Matt Dillon. It is good to see you
- 13:30Speaker 7: once more, and.
- 13:31Speaker 3: You grade ego. You wish to talk with me, yes,
- 13:35Speaker 3: I do. I I'm in need of your help.
- 13:40Speaker 7: To be able to return your many kindnesses pleases me.
- 13:44Speaker 3: I uh.
- 13:46Speaker 2: I would first like to explain to you that I
- 13:48Speaker 2: am aware of the unrest between your people and mine,
- 13:53Speaker 2: and it's my desire that what I tell you be
- 13:55Speaker 2: is uh confidence between friends. If it were known that
- 13:59Speaker 2: my c was further trouble, it would be as a confidence.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Thank you. Well. Yesterday we found a young girl on
- 14:08Speaker 3: the plains. She suffered from.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Exposure, so we took her back to Dodge City for
- 14:13Speaker 2: medical attention as fast as we could, but we were
- 14:17Speaker 2: too late. She was of your people. Her clothing told
- 14:22Speaker 2: me that, so I came to you to help me
- 14:23Speaker 2: identify her. I can't tell you why, but I feel
- 14:27Speaker 2: that there was evil behind the death of this girl,
- 14:31Speaker 2: and I must find out about it. You see she
- 14:34Speaker 2: was wearing a gold wedding ring, the ring of a
- 14:37Speaker 2: white man. And you describe the g I I can
- 14:42Speaker 2: only tell you that she was a great beauty. And
- 14:46Speaker 2: well here she wore this, this, this necklace.
- 14:55Speaker 3: It's unusual in design.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I thought it might help in identifying her.
- 15:01Speaker 3: Yes, it helps than she was from this camp. You
- 15:05Speaker 3: knew were Yes, I knew her. She was my daughter.
- 15:27Speaker 1: We will return to the second act of gun Smoke
- 15:30Speaker 1: in just a moment. But first, this Monday night, here
- 15:33Speaker 1: Virginia Mayo as a beauty who became one of the
- 15:36Speaker 1: great skippers on the China Run. Remember it's a full
- 15:40Speaker 1: hour of dramatic adventure this Monday night on the Luck
- 15:43Speaker 1: Summer Theater over most of these same CBS radio stations.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Now the second act of gun Smoke.
- 16:06Speaker 2: I looked at Great Eagle's face, and all of a
- 16:09Speaker 2: sudden Doc's warning came back to me. I saw Chester
- 16:13Speaker 2: out of the corner of my eye. He looked exactly
- 16:16Speaker 2: the way I felt, that hopeless feeling of not knowing
- 16:19Speaker 2: what to do. I guess we musta stood for maybe
- 16:22Speaker 2: a minute. Nothing was said, this man sitting before us,
- 16:27Speaker 2: this man of great dignity, with his bronze face showing
- 16:32Speaker 2: no emotion, just staring at a nothing, holding the necklace and.
- 16:37Speaker 3: His huge hands.
- 16:40Speaker 5: Grady, who we had no idea?
- 16:44Speaker 3: Thank you, I understand. I uh, I'm sorry to have.
- 16:50Speaker 2: To ask us now, grad Ego, But do you know
- 16:53Speaker 2: what might have happened?
- 16:55Speaker 10: I know.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Nothing. Word is my daughter.
- 17:00Speaker 2: She is at doctor Adam's office in that city. She
- 17:04Speaker 2: will be buried here. I will come for her. You
- 17:08Speaker 2: mean come into Dodge.
- 17:11Speaker 7: I will be there before sundown of this day.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Well, great Ego, with this unrest between our people's, I
- 17:21Speaker 2: don't think it would be but wise to come right
- 17:23Speaker 2: into town.
- 17:23Speaker 3: There there are people there that might cause.
- 17:27Speaker 7: Trouble before sundown. I will come for her.
- 17:30Speaker 3: But isn't it running a chance? Unnecessarily? We we could
- 17:34Speaker 3: arrange to meet you on the other side of the river.
- 17:36Speaker 7: Or maybe before sundown of this day with my braves.
- 17:40Speaker 7: I will come into Dodge City for my daughter.
- 17:42Speaker 3: But you can't bring your braves right in the alright,
- 17:49Speaker 3: gradical out of what I can.
- 17:50Speaker 2: To see that there's no trouble before sundown.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Then we rode hard to get back to Dodge.
- 18:03Speaker 2: It was a lot to be done. Jester didn't say anything,
- 18:07Speaker 2: But I knew he was worried, and he wasn't alone.
- 18:10Speaker 2: If this thing wasn't handled properly, it might turn into
- 18:13Speaker 2: the worst trouble than any of us had ever seen.
- 18:16Speaker 3: We got back into Dodge just before noon, and I sent.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Chester off to spread the word about what was gonna happen.
- 18:22Speaker 2: I figured it was better for everybody to know about
- 18:24Speaker 2: it as soon as possible than if trouble did start.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Maybe I could stop it before Great Eagle arrived.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I went to the office try to finish some work,
- 18:36Speaker 2: but I kept seeing the girl in front of me,
- 18:39Speaker 2: her and her say, I want to die.
- 18:42Speaker 3: I want to die.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Must have been three hours later when Chester came in
- 18:49Speaker 2: told me that the trouble had started. It was Black
- 18:52Speaker 2: Dawson down at the alifre Ganza.
- 19:00Speaker 11: Whoa wait, if it isn't a big brave us Marshal
- 19:08Speaker 11: in self, the boys, and the man who's supposed to
- 19:14Speaker 11: protect Dodge City.
- 19:17Speaker 2: All right, Black, you've said enough?
- 19:20Speaker 9: When did you.
- 19:20Speaker 5: Start deciding how much people can say?
- 19:24Speaker 2: Ha Marcia, I'm taking this from you, Black, because I
- 19:29Speaker 2: got enough trouble right now. But don't say anymore. Now,
- 19:34Speaker 2: Come outside with me and simmeredown.
- 19:35Speaker 11: Outside Simmere Down.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Why should I listen to.
- 19:40Speaker 3: An Indian lover.
- 19:43Speaker 9: Go down?
- 19:44Speaker 5: A man who's.
- 19:45Speaker 11: Gonna let those studies take an Indians come right in
- 19:50Speaker 11: the dodge and.
- 19:51Speaker 10: Take all right, All right, now you're listening the and
- 20:01Speaker 10: that goes for all of you.
- 20:03Speaker 6: I'll not tolerate any trouble when grad Ego gets here.
- 20:07Speaker 6: I don't want one wrong move out of interview. Anything
- 20:10Speaker 6: that happens here today might start a whole uprising among
- 20:13Speaker 6: the Indians. And if you're too stupid to see that,
- 20:14Speaker 6: you're gonna be awful. Sorry now I'm telling you, right.
- 20:19Speaker 3: Now, Grady goes here, I'll kill the first man that
- 20:25Speaker 3: starts trouble.
- 20:30Speaker 2: An hour before sundown, the crowd started gathering along Front Street.
- 20:36Speaker 3: They were talking and laughing and being loud, too loud.
- 20:40Speaker 2: They were nervous and trying not to show it, but
- 20:43Speaker 2: they all wanted a front seat at the big show.
- 20:45Speaker 2: They didn't want to miss anything. And then Black Dawson
- 20:49Speaker 2: and his gang came out of the Alpha Ganza and
- 20:52Speaker 2: stood leaning up against a hitching rail. Finally, Chester came
- 20:57Speaker 2: down from boothill where he'd been on lookout, and he
- 20:59Speaker 2: told me that he'd spotted grad Ego and as braves
- 21:02Speaker 2: they were coming.
- 21:05Speaker 3: I looked Iran.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Everybody started to turn quiet.
- 21:10Speaker 3: They knew.
- 21:13Speaker 2: I told Chester to keep an eye on Doss, and
- 21:15Speaker 2: then I started down the street.
- 21:19Speaker 3: Across the plaza to walk to the river.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Before the Indians started across the bridge. I stopped them,
- 21:39Speaker 2: Great Eagle, I can't let you bring all your braves in.
- 21:45Speaker 2: You may bring two, and that's all. You see all
- 21:48Speaker 2: those people over there, they're just ditching for trouble, and
- 21:50Speaker 2: I can't chance it.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. I would
- 21:54Speaker 3: have bring all my brave.
- 21:57Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Great Eagle, but I don't try it. I
- 22:06Speaker 2: turned and walked back into the plaza and stopped in
- 22:09Speaker 2: front of the doc's office and stood waiting. Great Eagle
- 22:14Speaker 2: and his band didn't move. They just sat there on
- 22:16Speaker 2: their horses, looking into the plaza.
- 22:20Speaker 3: The crowd had stretched all.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Along front street now, and they turned very quiet. Even
- 22:26Speaker 2: Dawson and his gang were just standing glowering across the bridge.
- 22:32Speaker 2: I wasn't sure what was gonna happen, and I waited.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Musta been five minutes before Great Eagle turned and said
- 22:41Speaker 2: something to his men and started out with two of
- 22:46Speaker 2: his braves. Following nobody in the crowd along front street moved.
- 22:52Speaker 3: A set of word where is she? And here?
- 23:25Speaker 2: She's in there? I wanna talk. Come in with me, alright.
- 23:39Speaker 3: I noticed her. Her name means beautiful child? Is she
- 23:48Speaker 3: not beautiful? Has she has?
- 23:53Speaker 7: Cradical mat Dylan? I have done something today I have
- 23:59Speaker 7: never were before done. I have always thought myself a
- 24:04Speaker 7: man of honor. But to day I spoke.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Alie to you. To me, yes, I know of what
- 24:14Speaker 3: happened to my daughter.
- 24:16Speaker 7: I must tell you to regain at least part of
- 24:19Speaker 7: my self respect all of it I can never regain.
- 24:25Speaker 7: Many moons ago my daughter disappeared. We searched for a
- 24:30Speaker 7: long time, not knowing what had happened to her. Four
- 24:35Speaker 7: days ago she came back. She told me of her
- 24:39Speaker 7: marriage to a white man, and how she was with
- 24:43Speaker 7: a child, of how she had met this man on
- 24:48Speaker 7: the prairie and had fallen in love with him while
- 24:52Speaker 7: they had gone to Hayes City, with the great love
- 24:56Speaker 7: they had for each other. And she told me of
- 25:01Speaker 7: the slow change that came over him.
- 25:05Speaker 3: When his fellow men began to laugh at him.
- 25:08Speaker 7: And with derision call him squaw man, and how the
- 25:13Speaker 7: white man is ashamed of the injun. The white man
- 25:19Speaker 7: has great pride. She told me how he turned her away,
- 25:26Speaker 7: told her to go back to her own people.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Where she belonged.
- 25:32Speaker 3: Kerdigat very sorry.
- 25:34Speaker 7: At that moment, I was with great anger and pride,
- 25:40Speaker 7: and for this I will never again.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Be a man of honor.
- 25:45Speaker 7: I told her to go back and live with the
- 25:47Speaker 7: white people in shame, that she was no longer an Indian,
- 25:53Speaker 7: that the Indian, too is a proud people. I am
- 25:59Speaker 7: responsible before her death, I turned away from her.
- 26:06Speaker 2: You may do what punishment you like with me. I
- 26:10Speaker 2: killed my daughter.
- 26:17Speaker 3: No, Grady Go, you.
- 26:19Speaker 2: You didn't kill your daughter. She died because of pride,
- 26:26Speaker 2: yours and the white man's. As to your punishment, I
- 26:31Speaker 2: think you're getting it right now. I'll take her and go.
- 26:44Speaker 2: As Gradygo reached the bridge, the rest of his braves
- 26:47Speaker 2: turned and joined him and rode slowly off across the prairie,
- 26:52Speaker 2: out of sight and along Front Street.
- 26:56Speaker 3: The crab started a break up and head.
- 26:58Speaker 2: For the bars to get dr bunk and laugh and
- 27:01Speaker 2: brag about how brave they had been. If anything had happened,
- 27:08Speaker 2: Chester and I stood for a long time, and the
- 27:11Speaker 2: streets were almost empty. It was sundown.
