the story of a man who.
Speaker 2: Moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall,

Speaker 2: Out of bed, why don't you sit down.
Speaker 4: Chester, like today, for instance, I've been thinking back over it.

I knock over the water bucketing. I could drown myself,
I said, And I went to put my boots on,
and that Vinnegaroon stung me in.
Speaker 5: My foot's ben sore and aching all day.
Speaker 2: All right, Chester, I believe you. It's been a bad day.

something to eat, I'd have to chop wood for the
stove and do the chores. Ramy Dunnitt and they helped him,
and he laughed at me, said that's what I used
to make him do cut wood things. I think they're
turned around now.

Jedros getting thrown out after working.

face for a gang of out laws. Oh uh, he
brought two gunmen back with him, and there's more common
according the general hit the.

Speaker 4: Yeah, Matt, why don't you just boot him out?
Speaker 2: I don't figure they boot too easy, Doug.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's never stopped you before.
Speaker 2: Alice is different. It's a family affair, and there's a
good chance they'd slip in here some night and take
it out on old jederro.
Speaker 4: Mm, he's own paw. What the tinin Asians matter?
Speaker 5: That boy?
Speaker 8: Matt abates me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, what.
Speaker 4: You gonna do it, just says he'll pound that swoopl
chair and.
Speaker 7: Let him get away with it.
Speaker 2: How much I can do, Doug, no lar against him
coming back home. Gederal won't sign a complaint. Says it's
a family affair and he'll handle it himself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to sober up some before he does
any handling. All he does is hang around the long branch.
Speaker 2: I'd set out some inquiries, but tell a graft figure
that might be a chance that one of those threes
wanted somewhere, and then I'd have a reason to move
in on them.
Speaker 4: He was a darn shame when the law works to
help somebody like them, you know, might be a good
idea to bypass the law and anything like this.
Speaker 2: Man, Now you do that once, doc, and the dam
goes up. It took too long, and I got what
law we have here to turn around and lose it.
