  Speaker 11: Whereas uh Nate whatever his name is.
• 13:02
  Speaker 12: Last I saw him, it was dawn and he was
• 13:04
  Speaker 12: almost asleep on one of the tables. A long brunch, right, Matt.
• 13:09
  Speaker 12: That man sure can drink.
• 13:12
  Speaker 11: Well, Kitty, they'd do any good.
• 13:16
  Speaker 12: So his name's Nate Brandle Brandle. His brother's name was
• 13:21
  Speaker 12: Miles Brandle.
• 13:23
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and it was his brother Doc killed.
• 13:26
  Speaker 12: That's why Nate's after Doc. I guess he just hasn't
• 13:31
  Speaker 12: had a good chance to get him yet.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: But he's going to man he isn't I'll run him
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: out of town now that I really know who he is.
• 13:37
  Speaker 12: You want to hear the rest of it first, Yeah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 12: go ahead, Kitty. Nate's brother this Miles Brandle. He heard
• 13:45
  Speaker 12: Cam Seaton was living here, and he rode all away
• 13:47
  Speaker 12: from Colorado to kill him.
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: And he found him lying there hurt and learned that
• 13:51
  Speaker 11: he'd sent for Doc.
• 13:52
  Speaker 12: I guess he figured if he could keep Doc awake,
• 13:54
  Speaker 12: Cam wouldn't need kill.
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: Him, and he was right. Why was he after Cam?
• 14:00
  Speaker 12: And I didn't say much about that. The important thing
• 14:04
  Speaker 12: is that Miles was an outlaw for the price of
• 14:07
  Speaker 12: one thousand dollars on his head.
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: I never had a circlar on him.
• 14:10
  Speaker 12: True anyway, According to Nate, that's why he's after Docs
• 14:14
  Speaker 12: so bad. He thinks Doc shot his brother for the
• 14:17
  Speaker 12: reward money.
• 14:18
  Speaker 11: But hasn't he heard this story.
