in San Francisco will be shot and killed by Bartolo
who this man? I had him sent to prison sip
years ago. Apparently he's been released.
Speaker 3: Will you not go please? And he's sound like very
dangerous man.

Speaker 5: Constipation is something people don't talk about much, but it
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 1: Well. A majority of the doctors we heard from had
this to say. A laxative should be effective, gentle, as
close to natural acting as possible, and the 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 pleasant tasting chocolate, A x lax is
effective overnight, it helps you toward your normal regularity. X
lax is gentle next morning, it gives you the closest
thing to natural action, and that's why many doctors and
millions of people use x lax with complete confidence. X lax.
Speaker 5: The laxative that helps you toward your normal regularity gently
overnight is x lax in your medicine cabinet.
Speaker 1: Bartolo te Hada was a man to be reckoned with.
I had caused him to be sent to the territory
of prison of humas And eight years before for killing
five people in the stage hold up. It was a lengthy,
rowdy trial, and the moment his sentence was pronounced, Tehada
had risen slowly from his chair and, glowering blackly at me,
announced that he would someday kill Senor Paladin. Bed Rock
was on the east side of the Tahachipes, halfway between
San Francisco and Yuma. I arrived there on the thirteenth
of March, the day before my scheduled death. Huh you are,
mister Peladin. Yes, and I am Arthur Jensen. I am
Anna's the Queen's Hotel here in Bedrock, mister Peladin. I
had your rooms ready and waiting for you. What rooms,
mister Jensen, are the rooms you ordered? I didn't order any,
but I have your letter right here in my pocket.
See yeah, I see. He's very plain. You were aching
for a suit of rooms at the Queen's Hotel, and
it's your signature, mister Jensen.
Speaker 4: He is.
Speaker 1: If I had wanted a suit of rooms and Bedrock,
I'm sure I would have chosen your hotel. Shall we go, Yes, sir.
My suit of rooms at the Queen's Hotel consisted of
one large room fronting on the main street, besides the
usual ornate chair and table. There was a gigantic bed,
for which I was very thankful. I wanted to face
March fourteenth with a clear head in the night of
sound asleep behind me. I had been asleep for what
seemed to be hours, when suddenly I was awakened by
sounds from the street below.
Speaker 4: What we have on our room.
Speaker 6: But then you make a great mistake. I might not
be reasonable to this man and me was these men
from the old tels. He looks like a dancing man
to me.
Speaker 7: This you also, hey, you man, do what?
Speaker 8: Leave that man alone. There's a peaceful town.

see him done.

Speaker 1: Even though I knew that the Hada and his men
were staying at the same hotel, and that I would
have to face him the next day. I managed to
get a good night's sleep. In the morning, I found
mister Jensen at the desk downstairs, and he told me
that the Hata was still in his room. So I
went into the dining room and enjoyed a quiet breakfast alone.
At least it was quiet until I felt the cold
steel of a gun muzzle against the nape of my neck. No,
Senior's throble, I'm going to kid you, fool you did
last night. Take the gun away from my head to
another turn around. This stranger.
Speaker 6: You it's you, And to think, gringo, I might have

that you and I could go to San Francisco together.
You could show me manything.
Speaker 1: I'd show you nothing. I wouldn't walk in the same
