Speaker 1: There's an old Norman law which says the private adventure
has been.
Speaker 2: Succeeded by the judge.
Speaker 1: You do well to remember that before you decide to
take the law into your own hands. Have Gone, Will Travel,
starring mister John Dayner as Paladin, San Francisco, eighteen seventy five.
The Carlton Hotel, headquarters of a man called Paladin. Oh,
good morning, saw Plagan. Good morning, hey boy.
Speaker 2: You go out early?
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, nothing like a brisk walk before breakfast, he saw,
very nice to day. Oh yes, warm sunshine. It's delightful
years at the spring and days at the morning. Excuse me,
you forgot to pick up meal last night, but it
see lot to come for you. Oh thank you, hey boy.
Sid Muller, beaver Fork, Montana.
Speaker 2: H See.
Speaker 1: Here, mister Paladin, your reputation for taking hold of a
situation has reached this town, and I would.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Huh, hey boy, he saw Sid Muller says he needs
my services. Wants me to get up there to beaver
Fork as soon as possible. So will you go down
to the hotel basement where my trunk is stored and
dig out that winter clothing we just packed away? Oh, yes,
saw so bad you had to leave when we have
such a nicey day in some Patisico.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, a boy.
Speaker 1: Well, mister Muller enclosed a very handsome check.
Speaker 3: Constipation can be a problem for anyone, even doctors, and
when constipation occurs, it's interesting to see just what doctors
consider important about a laxative they might use or recommend.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: A majority of the doctors we heard from had this
to say. A laxative should be effective, gentle, close to
natural acting, a medicine that can be used with complete confidence.
Now x lax has been popular with many doctors and
millions of people over the years because chocolated X lax
is effective overnight. It helps you toward your normal regularity.
X lax is so gentle, so close to natural acting,
there's no upset. That's why many doctors and millions of
people use x slax with complete confidence. X lax the
laxative that helps you toward your normal regularity gently overnight.
Speaker 1: For most of the country, the year was at the spring,
but northern Montana was having a late winter. I reached
the settlement just twenty miles from Beaver Fork when a blizzard.
The storm raged for ten days, and when the sky
finally cleared, the snow was piled in roof high drifts
and the roads were eight feet under. I had found
missus Abbott's boarding house home, cooking clean, beds, reasonably comfortable,
and my fellow lodgers were quite pleasant.
Speaker 2: Good morning, paladin, morning.
Speaker 1: Hey, where do you think you're going?
Speaker 2: All rigged up like that?
Speaker 1: I'm leaving, old timer. I've already wasted.
Speaker 2: Too much time.
Speaker 1: Oh now, looky here. You ain't aiming to take out
over that mountain, are you?
Speaker 2: I have to.
Speaker 1: I should have been beaver Fork over two weeks ago
and must be important if it can't wait till the
trail clear depth, A man sent for me, said, Mueller said,
you know sure, and no shid know the rest of
the bunch too. There's four millers up this way. They
ain't been in these parts long, about a year maybe.
Speaker 2: Huh all you said? He needed me?
Speaker 1: Have you bothered to take a good look at the
snow hanging on them peaks?
Speaker 2: Well there's lots of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like it wasn't fifty nine. Who big jiggers.
I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 1: Avalanche? The biggest avalanche ever heard of in these parts. Well,
I'll just have to take my chances, by old timer.
I followed the floor of a wide white valley for
several miles, then turned toward the mountain. A hunter passed me,
his rifle slung easy across his arm. He smiled, waved,
and went on and I started to climb. Halfway up
the sl I stopped to rest on a narrow ledge
below me. On the flat land, I could see the hunter,
and apparently he had spotted his quarry, for he raised
the rifle to his shoulder and fired. I looked up
the head to see if he had made his kill.
The body of a man lay sprawled in the snow.
And then it came like a whisper at first, and
a slow, almost gentle movement, and then a low rumble
that built to a deafening roar, and a great white
cloud that moved towards me and had met me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's see if you can swallow a little more
of this rot gut mm rot got his right discriminating man.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 4: Sorry, but it's the best I can do at the moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I will. Well, looks like you're
gonna make it After all. I was doubtful for a while.
There mountain fell on me. It takes a little time,
It's all right.
Speaker 4: Take all the time.
Speaker 1: He wants, Hey, where am I? What is this place?
Speaker 4: An abandoned she Hurder's cabin? I found it? Hold up
here during the storm. My name is Daniel Carr.
Speaker 1: Did you dig me out of that snow?
Speaker 4: And a handful of a time? You were under there?
Three hours?
Speaker 1: Three hours?
Speaker 4: You fell by a boulder, created an air pocket. That's
how you managed to survive.
Speaker 1: Usually one slide will start another. You were risking your
life to rescue me. Perhaps, well how did you get
me here?
Speaker 4: I carried you. You're quite a load.
Speaker 2: Why did you do it?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: After all, I realized it was the reverberation from my
shot that caused the slide. I felt responsible.
Speaker 1: Now, But why did you take the trouble to save me?
I saw you deliberately shoot a man?
Speaker 4: I know, but you see what I mean for my
gun to kill a man, I'll pointed at him, take
aim and pull the trigger.
Speaker 1: Didn't it occur to you that I am the only
witness to the murder you committed.
Speaker 4: Well that's true, of course, but that's beside the point.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm much obliged.
Speaker 4: I don't mention it. Now, I'll see if I can
rustle you a bite eat.
Speaker 5: Talk about best selling records, here's a familiar tune about
America's best selling filter cigarette, Winston Dodoo. Winston gives you
real flavor, full rich tobacco flavor. And you know that's
because only Winston has filter blend, up front choice flavorful tobaccos,
specially selected and specially processed for filter smoking. No wonder,
Winston tastes good like cigarette should smoke Winston.
Speaker 1: I recovered from the shock and exposure in a couple
of days, but a developed. I had a badly wrenched
knee and couldn't walk. I was helpless and became further
in debted to Daniel Carr for excellent care. And I
must admit as pleasant a companion as I enjoyed in
some time.
Speaker 4: Now, wait, the queen takes the rook.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, but the other white rook takes the queen the.
Speaker 4: Interposition of the night.
Speaker 2: Then only one more move?
Speaker 1: No, no, Well, someday, when we have a chest board
in pieces, i'll show you all. I'll be looking forward
to that. God doesn't matter looks like I'm out of tobacco. Oh, well,
hand me my rucksack. Yeah, that'll be an extracount of tobacco.
In here has a leg field today?
Speaker 2: Well it's much better.
Speaker 1: Yes, i'mna have to face up to the fact that
I have a job to do.
Speaker 4: Yes, I will too.
Speaker 2: Where is that tobacco? Yeah? Here, it is good.
Speaker 4: They're keeping thanks.
Speaker 1: Oh here, this letter fell out of the sack from
the man I have business within Beaver four Sid, that's.
Speaker 4: The man I have business with. Uh, he's next on my.
Speaker 1: List list to kill. Why I haven't asked you any questions, Paladin, Yeah,
that's right. But siding Muller know he's on your list,
I think he does well, Daniel. I think it's only
fair to tell you my guns for hire now. Muller
sent for me, probably to protect him from you, and perhaps.
Speaker 4: We'll meet again. I sort of hated to say goodbye.
Speaker 1: Anyway, it's been very pleasant, and you're leaving.
Speaker 4: I made my plans this morning as soon as I
saw you could get around, so i'd better get started,
especially if you're going to be working for Muller. I'd
hate to have to point my gun at you. Paladin
and I would you know if you've got in the
way of the job I have to do for so long.
Thanks again for the tobacco.
Speaker 1: Thank you for saving my life with a pleasure. For
three days in a row, I tried to work my
way down the trail from the cabin to the valley,
and each time my knee gave way and I had
to give up and crawl back over the hard packed snow.
But on the fourth day I made it. It was
bitterly cold and an icy wind was blowing, but I
saw that the roads had been cleared, and I decided
that my best bet was to return to the settlement
and get a horse. I had gone only a short
distance when I saw a wagon coming toward me. Oh well, Paddaden, Hey,
old timer, lordy man. I never piged to see you
again till the spring thaw. I was thinking you stretched
out stiff under that hank of snow had come down
off the mountains. Matter of fact, I was briefly yeah,
mind if I climb up there with you? No, come on, eight, Yeah,
get one of them there blankets wrapped around you. Yeah,
this here's a real snapper.
Speaker 2: Sure is?
Speaker 1: Say where are you ahead of old timer?
Speaker 2: Beaver Park.
Speaker 1: Come on, dip, I'm the bear of pretty Dern. Just
to certain tidans.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, after the slide, we were all out there pulling
around the snow looking for you. Out in the valley.
There we come across Abe Mueller.
Speaker 2: Rifle shot. Ab Muller.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Hid's brother. Well three four days ago, Franklin,
that's another brother, started over from beaver Park to pick
up the remains. He had to wait till the road
was clear. You see, man, he never showed up because
why he was found this morning. Rifle shot YMP. Looks
like somebody is setting out to exterminate the mother boys. Yeah,
looks like a real blood feud, a blood field. They
wait a minute, old timer. Where were the Mueller's loved
before they came to Montana. Well they've always been kind
of tight mouth about themselves, but I always figured it
was Texas.
Speaker 2: I'm sure, Dolby kind.
Speaker 1: Judge Orn Carr Daniel Karr, I don't see defali of Paladin.
Judge Carr was an Eastern appointed by the President to
preside over the court and Dalby County, and the first
case that came up before him was a murdered charge
against a man named Muller. Yeah, he was found guilty
and Carr sentenced him to be hanged. The day the
sentence was carried out, five men broke into the judge's
house and strung him up by the neck from the rafters.
What they do in the farments? Nothing? But everyone knew
that the five inches were Muller's sons. You mean you
think these here Mullers are the shame ones? And as
I recall, several months later, the oldest Mueller boy was ambushed. Yeah,
that must have been when the others left. Daubin came
up here. Huh, Daniel Khar Judge Carr's son, of course,
the Judge's son. What do you say in Paladin? I'll
explain later, old timer. Let's get a move on, all right,

When we reached Beaver fourth, we found a crowd gathered
around a blanket wrapped body hanging.
Speaker 2: Over the back of a prospector's mule.
Speaker 1: It was Vernon Muller. He'd been ambushed this here. You're
getting pretty scary, Paladin, I agree, is sitting this crowd here?
That team over there in the red Magano, said Mueller, Yeah,
who are you? My name is Paladin. Paladin find time
for you to be showing up. Yeah, I know you're
too late to be of help. Tom. That's why I
want to return this check to you there now. Siddon,
your brother Franklin was found this morning. Frank isn't shot,
He's dead.
Speaker 2: Frank two. That man Frank got it too.
Speaker 6: I tell you all, nobody's safe while that crazy killer's
running loose, said.
Speaker 1: The only life in danger now is yours. You better
get to the sheriff and ask for protection till the
man could be found and brought to justice.
Speaker 6: Justice Lood, Paladin, We'll see that he's brought to justice.
Speaker 2: Just don't you worry.
Speaker 6: Hellas, a prospector that brought in Vernon here says there
were some tracks out there in the snow. We got
to get her some hounds and go after that crazy killer.
And when we get him, he's finging up.
Speaker 1: Hellas.
Speaker 2: Then Pallas is real worked up. Paladin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think maybe I know where Daniel's headed. I've
got to get to him before that mob does. You're
so all fired concerned about this fellow. You think he
was beholden to him, old timer, I'm beholden to him
for my life.
Speaker 2: M Daniel.
Speaker 1: Daniel let me in.
Speaker 4: You're working from now, Paladin. This time my gun has
pointed at you.
Speaker 1: I'm not working for Muller anymore. I want to talk
to you, Daniel.
Speaker 4: I hope you don't mind. I'm going to keep my
rifle on you.
Speaker 2: Go right ahead.
Speaker 4: Come in.
Speaker 1: Close the door, Daniel. They're coming for you, a crazy mob,
said Muller with him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, good, I've been waiting to get to him.
Speaker 2: You can't stay here.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to move until I kill Sid Muller.
Speaker 1: Daniel, you're an intelligent man. What do you mean by
this vendetta?
Speaker 2: Paladin?
Speaker 4: My father said, as a duly appointed judge in the
case of the State of Texas versus Lee Muller, he
gave an honest and impartial judgment based on the laws
of our land.
Speaker 1: So the Mullers took the law into their own hands
and killed your father. Now you've taken the law into
your hands to kill a Muller's Where.
Speaker 2: Does it end?
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: There's still time, Daniel. Give yourself up to the law.
Tell your side of the.
Speaker 4: Stone, Paladin.
Speaker 2: I have a job to do.
Speaker 1: Look, they're on their way. They're coming for you. I'm
staying here and don't interfear, Daniel, listen to me, stay back.
Speaker 4: No, I won't pull this trigger, but.
Speaker 2: Daniel, sorry, Paladin, m hm hm.

Speaker 2: Oh they done their.

Speaker 2: What happened? Yeah, that bunch. I was trailed along with him.
Speaker 1: We got to this here place, and then this fella,
when nobody's expecting it, he just stepped out, big as life.
Somehow he got a beat on Sid and just pointed
his gun, took him and pulled the trigger. Sid just dropped.
