To put a smile in your smoking, always by Chesterfield. Made the modern way with Accure. Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers. And that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of Gun Smoke. Gun Smoke. Starring William Conrad. The transcribed story of the violence that moved West with young America. And the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man. Matt Dolan, United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancy job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely. It was the worst one we'd ever had in Dodge. The worst one I'd ever seen anywhere on the planes. It had been a short summer with a rain starting a month early and turning to snow and sleep before the end of September. From then on it was one blizzard right after another, roaring down off the flat basin, freezing the creeks and the ponds and piling up snow in the gullies. Stock suffered and men suffered. And it got so nobody in town that'd do anything or go anywhere unless there was some reason they just had to. It was a wonder that started out cold and I kept getting colder. One of the few places in town where a man could go to get warm was a long branch. They had a big pot bellied stove there that'd take four-foot chunk of cottonwood. Most nights they kept it red hot. Matt, you want to know a secret? Yeah sure kitty. What is it? I'm in love with a man who invented wool underwear. You? Under that? You're darn right. Don't let the dress fool you. Well it can't do much good. But as big as a saddle blanket for a cottontail. In this weather anything helps. How about a drink Matt? Well I was kind of waiting around for dark kitty but I guess that baby and Miss Tucker is trying not to be pretty stubborn. The Tucker is another one? Uh-huh. You have a man who did wear a gun. Well let's start it out to be a quiet evening. Oh it's a Ned Crater and a woman side Roy. I think it's just a talking fight. Now kitty this one's due. It's been building for a week now. I'll see you later. You ain't scared why don't you borrow a gun? Anybody in here alone you want. I'll be glad to see you called for once. Your yellow Josh your mean dirty and yummy. All right Crater you've had just say now. How do you feel Marshall? How would you feel about it if you was in my place? Probably the same way you do but this kind of talk's not gonna help you any. Now why don't you take a walk. Go have a drink somewhere else. Oh sure. Well let those skin prints stand great I said take a walk. I'll get it. All right Marshall. That was well handled Marshall. John me for a drink. Now thank you. Sidrome what makes you like you are. Don't believe I understand you. Joshua's side row the meanest man in town. Do you like being thought of that way? I'm not much concerned Marshall and where another. Approved and successful man's all within me maligned by food like net Crater. That hey Barna yours is full to the roof you got five times what you need to hold your stock for the wonders. Craters on a ragged edge he's desperate a couple of loads that probably carry him you wouldn't even miss it. Well he's for sale. Oh yeah sure and twice what it's worth. The thing is worth whatever you can sell it for Marshall he's no better than the other nesters there buying from me. They must got cash it's his first year on the line he's got no cash and no credit you know that and he should have been more industrious children some foresight he was caught shot by the early rains the same as the rest of the. Now what's the use. You know Joshua someday you're going to end up being the richest man on boot hill. Well Ned Crater don't ever put me there he might he's worked up enough yeah he's like all failures talks big and does small he's a fool now I'll be here long after he starts a death. I swear if you goodness mr. Dillon no more would you chunk in with this cusset stove the less heat it seems to give off. That's a calm morning Chester throw some buffalo chips in yeah that's and burn out the grapes again and just jailhouse can't afford it halfway decent stove and whether like this. There we go forevermore look there look who's up bright and early this morning. Uh-huh. Joshua's side row leading the pack horse maybe he's going to pull out. That's wishful thinking Justin I wonder why he's coming here. Marshall Marshall Dillon. Well I guess there's only one way to get it over with. Marshall yeah Joshua brought in the body of a son Gebel he was murdered during the night.

Don I'm not sure Chester will pull up well whatever it was that came from over there toward the creek bank sure sounded to me that's what it is hit somebody yelling yeah it's not that way come on watch out for that bank I see it oh there he is mr. Dona's wagon is down in the creek yeah it's not craters Ricky's broke through the ice bucked down give me a hand here cut those mules loose and get them out of there crater before you lose them along with the wagon take them pull out all right would I believe the box here loose the lines they'll find her right into the water marshal grab the lead mules holder and get them straight they'll pull out all right that water's freezing mr.

from under that snow and that's got a fire going before we're forced to that I sure wasn't aiming to lose that load of a marshal well you just not did in that creek where'd you get it crater a band of kylos back about your crossing I traded them my saddle pony well that bento man there's a lot of horse for a load of hay what are you going to do when you got choice that argument you got into with old Joshua's side row what started it right here well that boy is young gable start by our place a couple of days ago told me he'd see George I got at least one load of hay then when I run into old Joshua the long branch and told him about it he just laughed you know old devil he said the kid was out of his mind that he didn't have no more authority around the place than the other cow hand you got your rifle with you sure yeah sure I'd like to take a look at him all right I won't guarantee what condition it's in but it's all plain busy I ain't had time to do nothing right here we are thanks yeah where'd you claim this gone last a couple weeks back I told you it was in pretty bad shape it'd be much worse I wouldn't try to fire it till I got the rust out of that barrel marshal what's all this about gable side row was found lying dead in the barn lot this morning been shot so that's what you're doing out this way and that's it right it well marshal if you figure I killed jable side row for this load of hay you're wrong I'd do most anything to keep my stock from the starving but not that not killing I know then you're not arrested me no well I think if you thought I did it first credit that's why we wrote out to find you but I guess you couldn't let's shot him not with your rifle in that condition do you mean I can go home yeah and Chester now I'll give you a hand with a
