- 2:17Speaker 3: my years it up. Let's have her. You remember Kit Kribby?
- 2:20Speaker 3: Do I remember Kit? Why? He was one of the
- 2:22Speaker 3: best Hans we ever had. He's in trouble. Listen to
- 2:25Speaker 3: this letter I got this morning, Dear Hoppy. I'm writing
- 2:29Speaker 3: you because I think you're the only friend I got left.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Gold is where you find if they say, and my
- 2:34Speaker 3: partner Joe and I have found her that for three years,
- 2:36Speaker 3: and these god forsaken mountains our first samples, as said
- 2:39Speaker 3: five hundred dollars to the turn, she willie, which strife
- 2:43Speaker 3: sure is. We thought we were luck inn till the
- 2:46Speaker 3: day Joe left with the second batch of samples, and
- 2:48Speaker 3: I found him ten hours later, and Whitewater passed with
- 2:50Speaker 3: a bullet. These back. So I'm alone now, but that's
- 2:54Speaker 3: not why I'm writing you. My wife Sally is alone
- 2:57Speaker 3: too an Indian Spring, and she needs help. Take your
- 3:00Speaker 3: kind of help. That's all I can say. Now. Wish
- 3:03Speaker 3: me luck, pal Kit Kirby, which I always liked. The
- 3:06Speaker 3: boy has got yourself in trouble, and I believe Kit's
- 3:09Speaker 3: in real trouble or the this letter tells you. See,
- 3:13Speaker 3: I know Kid's handwriting. And this letter is a bad innovation.
- 3:16Speaker 3: You mean you mean it ain't. Someone wants us to
- 3:19Speaker 3: come to Indian Spring, California, and they want it badly
- 3:22Speaker 3: enough to forge this letter. Now a word from your announcers.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Now back to hop Along Cassody. There was a four
- 4:29Speaker 2: day ride behind them when Hoppy in California pulled into
- 4:32Speaker 2: the rough dirty little town of Indian Springs. And as
- 4:35Speaker 2: they walked into the town's rickety hotel, past the poker
- 4:38Speaker 2: game to the bar, Hoppy knew that only gold would
- 4:41Speaker 2: bring Kit Kirby to a place like this.
- 4:44Speaker 3: That's a better open radus. I'm good for it.
- 4:47Speaker 4: How many?
- 4:48Speaker 3: How many?
- 4:48Speaker 5: What?
- 4:49Speaker 3: Well? All we got? Chrisky?
- 4:50Speaker 4: So I don't ask what do you want? I ask
- 4:52Speaker 4: how many?
- 4:53Speaker 3: And suppose a fellow wants a room for the night,
- 4:55Speaker 3: how long you stand? Does that make any difference? Oh?
- 4:58Speaker 4: Not to me, my to you?

- 7:27Speaker 3: a funny one. Why are you looking at them cards?
- 7:30Speaker 5: Well?
- 7:30Speaker 3: This is the dead man's hand, California, and I find
- 7:32Speaker 3: it very interesting this this Luke fella isn't here, wasn't he?
- 7:36Speaker 3: That's right? And the fellow who shot him was here?
- 7:39Speaker 3: Oh okay, what do you say we just forget the cards?
- 7:42Speaker 3: Wait a minute, California. Luke said something about the other
- 7:45Speaker 3: fellow double's denkon He pulled his gun first. That's right.
- 7:48Speaker 3: We shounded like that. It was under a table by
- 7:51Speaker 3: that time. Take a look at the cards. Luke's got
- 7:53Speaker 3: a full house here. The other man held a pair
- 7:56Speaker 3: of tens. Now, why should that guy with a winning
- 7:58Speaker 3: hand pull a gun first? Were maybe maybe maybe he
- 8:02Speaker 3: was drunk or not? That drunk watch on your mind? Oh,
- 8:06Speaker 3: just something to think about, that's all. Fix us up
- 8:09Speaker 3: at the room. Well you know, my name's uh mckinnay.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Let's just count up on your jones. Looks like we'll
- 8:16Speaker 3: be here in Indian Springs for quite a while.
- 8:18Speaker 4: Well it's your.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Funeral, maybe don't fare sing and Jerry, could you tell
- 8:23Speaker 3: us where Kit Kirby's wife lives. I'd kind of like
- 8:25Speaker 3: to write out and see her the night.
- 8:38Speaker 5: I'm so glad to see you, mister Cassidy.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Kid is very close to name Missus Kirby.
- 8:43Speaker 5: Oh, we do need help. We're afraid. The whole town's afraid.
- 8:46Speaker 5: I wished a thousand times kid hadn't found that gold.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Do you think that has something to do with it?
- 8:51Speaker 5: I had everything to do with it. The night Joe
- 8:54Speaker 5: brought in the first sample, someone broke into the essay
- 8:56Speaker 5: office and stole the reports. That's how news of the strike.
- 8:59Speaker 5: Guy Joe went to Sheriff Underwood, but I guess someone
- 9:02Speaker 5: else got there first. Well, the sheriff seemed afraid to
- 9:06Speaker 5: do anything. Then mister Sikes said will Fargo called a
- 9:09Speaker 5: protest meeting. He was attacked on the street the next night,
- 9:13Speaker 5: left town after he got a note threatening his family.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Or didn't anyone do anything about it?
- 9:18Speaker 5: The editor of the weekly paper tried to. He wrote
- 9:21Speaker 5: up the story together with what he knew about the
- 9:23Speaker 5: golds price, but the paper never came out.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Well why not?
- 9:27Speaker 5: His office burned to the ground last week presses.
- 9:29Speaker 3: And awekay Mark and you finally knew what he was
- 9:32Speaker 3: talking about. When was Kit's partner's shot on the trail.
- 9:36Speaker 5: Just before the fire. That's when I knew it was
- 9:38Speaker 5: more than I could handle, mister Cassidy. Sheriff Underwood promised me.
- 9:42Speaker 3: He'd do something, but yeah, but he left town in
- 9:45Speaker 3: a hurry too. You got any idea who's tying this news? Hervey?
- 9:49Speaker 5: Oh? I thought it was Luke Barry until this afternoon.
- 9:52Speaker 3: You heard about the shooting.
- 9:54Speaker 6: Yes, I want to give you something, mister Cassidy.
- 10:04Speaker 5: I'll tell you how to get to the mine after
- 10:07Speaker 5: the trail least Whitewater pass. I just threw it from memory.
- 10:10Speaker 5: No one knows how to get there. You see, there's
- 10:13Speaker 5: amaze of mountains and canyons beyond the.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Path gets up there now. Huh.
- 10:17Speaker 5: He hasn't come out for a month. I haven't even
- 10:19Speaker 5: seen him in that long.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Well, No, isn't it surprising? And I got a letter
- 10:23Speaker 3: from him, dated less than three weeks ago, but I
- 10:29Speaker 3: thought maybe he'd send it out by you. But you
- 10:31Speaker 3: say you haven't seen him. You know, Missus Kirby, it's
- 10:34Speaker 3: awfully hard to help when you just know half the story.
- 10:38Speaker 5: All right, I'll tell you I did write that letter,
- 10:43Speaker 5: but it was only because Kit needs help so desperately.
- 10:46Speaker 5: And even if he could get a letter to you,
- 10:48Speaker 5: you know how proud he is. She never asked anyone
- 10:50Speaker 5: for help.
- 10:51Speaker 3: I know he's got more spears than Topper. Is that Shay? No,
- 10:55Speaker 3: there's Topper. He mighty finds that a horse flesh.
- 10:57Speaker 5: It was wrong of me to sign Kit names that
- 11:00Speaker 5: let her, I know. But you do understand why I did.
- 11:03Speaker 3: It, Yes, I do, missus Kirby, but just don't make
- 11:05Speaker 3: a practice of it, or somebody else might not understand.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Now about kid, he's afraid he might get the same
- 11:11Speaker 3: reception as his partner if he starts down the tail,
- 11:13Speaker 3: so he just sits and tie. Huh.
- 11:15Speaker 5: Yes, but he has to come out, mister Cassidy. It's
- 11:17Speaker 5: knowing up there already, and he's almost out of supply.
- 11:20Speaker 5: What about the gold well that's up there too, over
- 11:23Speaker 5: forty thousand dollars worth of it and it's got to
- 11:26Speaker 5: come out sometime through Indian spring? Will Fargo?
- 11:28Speaker 3: Tell me? Is there anyone in town you know you
- 11:31Speaker 3: can trust?
- 11:32Speaker 5: Just Doc Sheldon. He's one of Kit's best friends. He Oh,
- 11:37Speaker 5: I see him coming up the work now.
- 11:40Speaker 3: We'll be in the next room. Don't tell him where here,
- 11:42Speaker 3: but he's please, Oh, all right, I'm on California, right, Hello,
- 11:56Speaker 3: Doc Shirley. You heard about Luke Berry.
- 12:00Speaker 5: I heard he was shot.

- 17:56Speaker 3: Now back to hop.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Along Cassidy Hobby in California. I've been in a lot
- 18:08Speaker 2: of strange places at some.
- 18:10Speaker 3: Very odd hours.
- 18:11Speaker 2: At the moment, they are under the poker table in
- 18:13Speaker 2: the Indian Spring barroom. It's four o'clock in the morning,
- 18:17Speaker 2: and they are just sitting and thinking, trying to make
- 18:19Speaker 2: sense out of the discovery that the shooting of Luke
- 18:21Speaker 2: Berry was stage and undoubtedly for Sally Kirby's benefit.
- 18:26Speaker 3: This piece of wading is when I found him on
- 18:28Speaker 3: a table California. A piece of warning from a blank carty,
- 18:31Speaker 3: blank Cartridguese. What do you know about that? Hobby? Don't
- 18:35Speaker 3: tell the new missus Kirkby take him up to the
- 18:36Speaker 3: mind if he thought Luke was out of the way,
- 18:38Speaker 3: sh quiet, it's the tapeman and dark can't look very
- 18:45Speaker 3: just about as dead as I thought. You better set
- 18:48Speaker 3: up now right for that bluff for a white water
- 18:50Speaker 3: pass the alng Way. We can't afford to be spotted.
- 18:54Speaker 3: What we plan still murder? You know best protection you
- 18:57Speaker 3: got to stay in dead Hey good, I hate to
- 19:01Speaker 3: miss my shuneral in the morning. I went out of
- 19:04Speaker 3: the plans. What about Kirby or you already hit the
- 19:06Speaker 3: pass on the way down about three in the afternoon, Missus,
- 19:09Speaker 3: Kirby will be first, then Kirby, remember that number two.
- 19:13Speaker 3: Who is Kirby? I'll bring up the rear after the
- 19:16Speaker 3: PEC news. You won't be able to tell who's who
- 19:18Speaker 3: at that distance. You'll draw your beat on number two.
- 19:22Speaker 3: And don't miss I didn't miss before, did I? He
- 19:25Speaker 3: talked after you left him. I didn't like that. Yeah,
- 19:28Speaker 3: don't worry. Kirby won't talk. And remember, I got to
- 19:32Speaker 3: get out of this clean. Everything depends on that. When
- 19:35Speaker 3: the Boss files for Kirby's clean, I'll see you in
- 19:38Speaker 3: six weeks in Santa Fe. All right, Remember I want
- 19:42Speaker 3: you on your way to what water passed before sent up? Understand, spouse, That's.
- 19:48Speaker 5: Why.
- 19:49Speaker 3: Then Jerdy double Carson Skoch and let's squab from hopping
- 19:52Speaker 3: not so fast, California. They'll get Kirby as he comes
- 19:55Speaker 3: down that train. If we grab these two right now,
- 19:57Speaker 3: the boss they mentioned the Santa SAYO, send somebody else
- 19:59Speaker 3: utter the kids. The only way to settle this writer
- 20:02Speaker 3: is to find out who's behind it all. So we'll
- 20:04Speaker 3: just have to play along. Well, let's take in my instincts.
- 20:07Speaker 3: But girl, Hoppy, you always seem to know best. It
- 20:10Speaker 3: gets down right monotonous. You're trying to flatter me. He
- 20:14Speaker 3: come on, it's almost daybreak and we gotta hurry up
- 20:17Speaker 3: and spruce up a bit, all right, Well, don't folks
- 20:19Speaker 3: always dress up to go to a funeral? Funeral, puppy,
- 20:22Speaker 3: you mean, yes, sir Luke Berry's last rite. I have
- 20:26Speaker 3: a hunch we're gonna find it mighty interesting. And being
- 20:40Speaker 3: there no preacher in Indian Spring, I just thought that
- 20:44Speaker 3: i'd get up and take charge here now. As you know,
- 20:48Speaker 3: we're sending.
- 20:49Speaker 7: Luke Berry to his reward, and at a time like this,
- 20:55Speaker 7: we're supposed to say something nice about the deceased.
- 20:59Speaker 3: Yeah, being the deceased is Luke Berry. That regulation puts
- 21:03Speaker 3: me in a flopping handicap. Hopy wanter Nation, make it easy.
- 21:07Speaker 3: I'll tell you when anyone present cots anything nice to
- 21:10Speaker 3: say about Luke and that being the case, sermon's over.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Let him down easy, boys, what's the matter, mister? That's
- 21:20Speaker 3: not the too hasty putting old Luke away. I'm one
- 21:22Speaker 3: of his best friends and i'd like to see the body.
- 21:25Speaker 3: I'm sorry, mister, she's nailed down to stay. Rip her up,
- 21:30Speaker 3: I want to say him, You get back down. You're
- 21:32Speaker 3: what I said. Take the lid off of that top
- 21:34Speaker 3: on it. You get tough with me with you, and
- 21:36Speaker 3: it doesn't cut the matter for a parson to pull
- 21:38Speaker 3: a gun on the chief Mourner, California. Yeah, take the
- 21:41Speaker 3: lid off right, Hoppsi. One of the boards just cracks.
