Welcome to the Old Time Radio Westerns. I'm your host, Andrew Rines, and let's get into this episode. This episode is going to be Frontier Town. Original air date is sometime in 1949 and the title is Canyon of the Wanted Men. Hope you enjoy.

[C]

Frontier Town, the saga of the Roaring West. Frontier town. El paso, cheyenne, calgary, tombstone. Frontier town. Here is the adventurous story of the early west, the tamed and the untamed. From the Pecos to Powder River, Dodge City to Poker Flat, these are the towns they fought to live in and lived to fight for. Teeming crucibles of pioneer freedom. Frontier Town.

[D]

Hello there. If you ever happen to be in the frontier town called Dos Reis, well, here and now you've got an invitation to look me up. My office is over Cherokee o' Bannon's Dos Rees Livery Stables. And I'm Chad Remington, frontier lawyer. Now, don't go misunderstanding my invitation. I'm not aiming to say that when you're in Dos Reiss or even on the frontier itself, you're going to need a lawyer. But being a lawyer, and a frontier lawyer at that, I'm certainly equipped to tell you a yarn or two to pass your time waiting between stagecoaches. Now, of course, they say that a good salesman always shows his samples. So here's a sample of a yarn and an adventure, which I'm only too happy to spin for you. Now, it all started when a brazen and cold blooded gang of road agents under the whiplash of a gun slammer known as Pecos Rowley, waited until Wells Fargo had carried a large shipment of gold into town. And then they swooped down, guns blazing.

[C]

Cherokee.

[D]

Come on up this way with me.

[E]

Just keep my Chad. I'm right behind you. Counselor, I'm not objecting to being in this posse, but I'm not a mountain goat. Where are we going?

[D]

Back into these hills, Cherokee, until we find them or lose their trail. Now stop drawing and keep that horse moving.

[E]

Come on.

[D]

It was only a 5050 chance cutting off that way back through the crags. And instead of finding Pecos Rowley and his crew, we lost their trail. But there was enough evidence of which way they went. So when upon returning to town, I found that Wells Fargo had posted a $5,000 reward, I euchred Cherokee and a packing a bedroll and both of us set off through the narrow confines of Steamboat Pass, heading for the broad sweeping valley we called the Green Hills country.

[E]

Dad, I think this whole thing is a lot of nonsense and a wild goose chase.

[D]

That doesn't sound like you at all, o'. Bannon. $5,000 would buy a lot of things. Including the one thing you like best and the counter irritants to cure your hangover after.

[E]

Ah, bosh, pimple and fiddlesticks. Besides, with a bloodthirsty killer like Pecos whatchamacaller, an excursion of this nature is fraught with danger.

[D]

Danger?

[E]

Gas with danger. How do you know where he's hidden now? Where he might be? Why any moment riding along here, he might spot us over the sights of his rifles. Down. Down. Chad, we've been discovered by that polecat.

[D]

That polecat you're talking about, Cherokee doesn't seem to be any more than a pole kitten. You see him over there? About 10 years old and not even ankle high to a prairie dog.

[E]

Well, by the beard atop adolescent ape like that has no business packing a gun.

[D]

Hey you, you youngster. Come on over here.

[E]

Come on, you pint sized burial past. Shake it up.

[F]

I'm coming. What's your hurry, tenderfoot?

[E]

Tenderfoot? Why you sort of son of saint. Stepchild. I've got a good. Hold it, Cherokee.

[D]

Here comes someone riding up. Maybe this is his folly. Over here, mister.

[F]

You go and snitch on me and I'll bust your ball for it.

[E]

Holy ho ho.

[G]

Something wrong here? I heard a shot and well I be dog and branded Chad Remington.

[H]

Ike.

[D]

Ike Davis. Now what in name of all that's sacred are you doing out here in Green Hills country? Last I heard of you, you had a place over in San Juan Basin.

[G]

Been over here for most two years now. Chad. See, you ain't changed none, Jerky.

[E]

A moment ago I was almost changed. Rambunctious, rowdy little runt. Almost blew my head right off my

[F]

shoulder, I did not.

[D]

With that purple nose for a target, I don't see how even a child could miss. But seriously now, Winchester.

[H]

30.

[D]

30 is nothing for a youngster this age to play with, Ike.

[G]

I know, Chad. And believe me, he wasn't playing.

[H]

What?

[E]

You have the audacity to stand there and defend this immature imp? Moreover, you're starting to sound as if you were his father. Which, beg your pardon, we know you're not.

[G]

Well, I don't blame you for not knowing, Jerky. But I am Mickey's Father.

[I]

His father.

[D]

Wait a minute. If you're trying to pull my leg, it doesn't stretch that far. I've known you for 15 years. This youngster must be at least 10. And up to two years ago you weren't married.

[G]

That's right, Chan. But if you ride over to my place, you can just see the roof of it through those trees. But a lot to talk to you about and a lot to explain.

[D]

Now wait a minute, Ike. You'll have to go a little more slowly. Now tell me that last part just once more about how you got married.

[G]

Well, I thought by moving to the Green Hills country, I might do better than I did on the San Juan Basin. But with no money and not being able to hire much help, things got worse instead of better.

[I]

Uh huh.

[G]

So being able to do most of the outside work myself, what I needed was a woman to look at the house and the little chores. Well, to make a long story short, I run an ad in one of them matrimonial magazines.

[D]

You mean that you actually advertised for a wife?

[G]

I did, and I got one. And I must say that Nellie's a fine girl.

[E]

Fine girl? Then this young hoodlum is her son,

[G]

is that it, Mickey? Oh, he really isn't some man. Trouble is, this is the first time he's ever been out in the country. You see, the man Nellie was married to before was an Easterner.

[D]

Well, that certainly explains a lot. Except for one thing. Just how is it you let a 10 year old youngster pack a rifle?

[G]

Well, to tell the truth, in the last couple of days we've been looting food out of our cellar. We don't know how or who's been stealing it. But it's not so bad that unless we put a stop to it, we're going to be going hungry ourselves pretty soon.

[D]

Well, I'd certainly be careful with a youngster who's new to the west handling a gun. Now, Ike, I. I'd like very much to meet your wife.

[G]

Oh, Nellie will be in pretty soon. She's out in the barn doing melting. You see, I run a few head of cattle, but trying to do it all myself. Even with a little help of getting Nicky. Can't amount to much. For instance, right now I should be bringing the hay for the winter feed.

[D]

Well, if Cherokee and I can be of any help while we're over here, we'd be only too happy to give you a hand.

[E]

Ah, Chad, in the first place, you forget what we're over here for. And in the second place, when I bend My elbow. I'm not in the habit of bending him, but a pitchfork?

[G]

Well, a little bit of honest work won't do a bit of. Oh, come on in, Nelly. I want you to meet two of my old friends from Das Rios.

[F]

Well, any friends of Ikes are certainly

[J]

friends of mine, I always say.

[G]

Chad Remington and Cherokee o'. Bannon. My wife, Nellie Belle.

[J]

I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance, I'm sure. Likewise, Nellie.

[G]

Chad and Cherokee are going to stay here for a few days and help us get in the hay.

[J]

That's certainly nice of them. When Mickey was a little baby, we spent a two weeks vacation down at Bensonhurst. That's on Long Island. And I was surprised to see how everybody went out of their way to help their neighbors.

[D]

Well, it's the same way out here, Mrs. Davis. Except that if we Westerners didn't help one another, we wouldn't have much of a West.

[J]

Ain't that the truth? Except we got some neighbors now who keep helping themselves to our food without us knowing anything about it.

[E]

Neighbors?

[G]

Yeah, that's what I was telling you about. Of course, we don't know who it is, but if we ever find them, they're gonna have a hide full of buckshot.

[D]

But Cherokee, to get the hand done, we'll split up into two teams. I'll work with Ike, and you and Mickey can work on another rake.

[E]

Mickey?

[D]

Yes, Mickey. And the point I'm trying to make is this. While you're out haying, you keep your eyes open and your gun handy. If you can find who's been pilfering the food out of the Davis's cellar, there's the barest chance you may end up $5,000 richer. Thanks to Wells Fargo. Of course, I mentioned the 5,000 to get Cherokee to go to work, having no idea that the wide loop I was throwing might settle awfully close to the truth. Because Pecos Rowley and Lefty, one of his men, were hidden out not two miles from Ike Davis's little ranch.

[H]

Well, Pecos, how about it? We sure could use some more food.

[E]

All you seem to do while we're

[H]

hiding out in this barn is to eat.

[I]

Eat nothing but eat. Yeah, I know, Lefty. With every sheriff between Dos Rios and Denver looking for us, don't dare show my face for a while. And just hanging around makes me nervous and hungry.

[H]

Well, it's a good thing this deserted place is just a couple of miles from that Davis ranch, or they'd be eating twigs and grasshoppers. How about it? Wanna ride over there and sneak into their cellar again.

[I]

Yeah, but I sure don't like walking them two miles over there, then two miles back. Floated down.

[E]

Why can't we take the horses and

[I]

have someone spot us? Nothing doing. And while the hay in that field is up to our shoulders and we can walk through it without being seen. Go on. I'm getting hungry again. Let's go.

[F]

What's the matter, Cherokee? Pitching ain't too much for you?

[E]

Well, no, Mickey, but I just thought that if you stop now here for a few minutes, I could give you a lesson or two on how to shoot that rifle.

[F]

Are you kidding? I bet you you couldn't hit the broadside of the Flatbush Avenue car barn.

[E]

Oh, it can't, eh? Here, give me that Winchester and I'll show you. Now, the first thing to do is to hold the rifle lightly. Don't pull the trigger. Squeeze it slowly. Like this. Now pick a target the other side of the hayfield. Show you how to a.

[I]

Hefty hold it.

[H]

Who in blazes tossed that shot?

[I]

Ricky, you see over there, huh? Some Jasper with a rifle and a little kid.

[H]

You think they spotted us?

[I]

Not where them last two shots went, but I'm sure gonna find out. Come on.

[E]

How are you getting the idea?

[F]

Why, you ID nothing yet. We are back in Fricklin. I take you down to Tuning island to the shooting gallery and teach you.

[I]

Wait a minute, Lefty.

[H]

What's going on here anyhow?

[I]

You'd keep your lip buttoned up, maybe we can find out.

[F]

Cherokee. I bet you're afraid of guns, right it, John.

[E]

Why listen, my urban Archie, you know the reason why Chad and I are up here in the Grasshopper. I work up here.

[F]

Captured one of the worst trucks in the car lab.

[E]

Davis Rowley.

[H]

Why that big Rowley?

[E]

Lefty, leave that gun alone.

[I]

Ain't no shooting out here. Cause I just got an idea that's gonna take care of both of and give us money to burn. Come on, we're going back to the hideout and start this thing working.

[C]

We'll return to the second act of Canyon of Wanted Men, our exciting frontier town adventure in just a few moments. And now, frontier town,

[D]

Of course, to spin this yarn, I'm putting the cart before the horse. In some places that is. I'm telling you now what Pecos, Rowley and Lefty were doing. Although at the time, neither Cherokee nor I nor the three Davises had any idea, not alone, that they were in the neighborhood, but that they had spotted Mickey and Cherokee. Well, so I don't get the chronology too confused. Before we go back to the Davis Range, let's find out just what it is Pecos had in mind when he said that running across Cherokee and Mickey was going to mean money in the bank to him.

[H]

I don't know, Pecos. Maybe I am stupid, but I still don't see what you're driving at. About that kid we seen in the hay for you.

[I]

Look, you heard what he said, didn't you? While we were walking up toward him? Yeah, but he said something about Coney island, didn't he?

[H]

Sure, sure. Coney Island's back east somewhere, huh? New York, ain't it?

[I]

That's right. New York. Oh, so a kid that age who knows about Coney island must come from New York.

[D]

Must come from New York.

[H]

How do you know?

[I]

By putting two and two together, that's how. You heard some of these ranchers out here are taking eastern dudes in for borders like they do at hotels.

[H]

Well, what if he does come from Coney Island? It certainly was no reason for not ventilating them and that red nosed monkey with him. What's the matter, you got friends in Coney island or something?

[I]

Now you're not head. I ain't got friends in Coney Island. But if you'd ever stop to think, maybe you'd see what I mean. If the kid is a dude who's out here boarding at the Davis Ranch. What does that mean? Never mind, I'll tell you. It means his old man or his mother has to have a hat full of dinero. That's what rich Easterners.

[H]

Okay, okay, so they're rich Easterners. What's that does?

[I]

What's it to us? Oh, nothing. Nothing more than $50,000. Don't you see? We go over to the Davis Ranch tonight, sneak into the kid's room and grab him. Yeah, then we leave a note that tells them if they want to get the kid back, it's gonna cost them 50,000 of Uncle Sammy's nice new frog skins. Now do you get it?

[H]

Hey, you got a real good idea there, Pickers.

[D]

Real good.

[H]

Only what happens if they don't pay us the 50,000? Or if they ain't got that much

[I]

and you can do what I stopped you from doing this afternoon. You can get out that gun you're so anxious to use and shoot the brat full of nice little round holes.

[J]

Mickey, Mama doesn't want to tell you again. It's time for you to go to bed.

[F]

Grandma, give me a chance to finish, will you? I haven't told you How? Cherokee threw two four bit pieces. Those are half dollars, Ma. He threw them right up into the air and before they hit the ground, bang, bang, he put holes in boat.

[G]

Wow. I must say that's quite a good shooting, Cherokee.

[I]

Nothing at all?

[E]

Nothing really?

[D]

It would have been an easier story to believe that Cherokee had thrown Chinese yen up into the air. They got holes in them already.

[F]

Yeah, but they got square holes and there's nothing square about good old Cherokee.

[J]

Well, Cherokee, looks as if you've made yourself a conquest. Nicky seems to think you're quite a hero.

[F]

I sure do. He captured Billy the Kid single handed and Cherokees promised to teach me how to ride a horse. I mean ride one good. He owns a livery stable.

[D]

Then, Mickey, you better look out that he doesn't sell you a couple of bottles of his genuine Cherokee Indian rattlesnake oil along with it.

[J]

All right, Nicky, you've heard your story. Now it's time for you to go to batter ready.

[F]

Look, Ma, I got a keen idea if you'd let me go riding with Cherokee so he could really teach me how to ride a horse. But then by tomorrow I bet you I'd be able to help you with

[J]

the chores around here.

[F]

Write down and bring in the cows I need.

[E]

Ah, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if you're to help by tomorrow.

[F]

All right, Ike, what do you think?

[J]

You're Mickey's father too, you know.

[G]

Let him go. An hour isn't going to make much difference. And knowing that Cherokee found that pint bottle I had hid in the kitchen might be Cherokee out of trouble too.

[I]

Hey, Leslie, quick rain up.

[H]

Oh, all right. What's up, Bakers? What's the matter?

[I]

Look, will you? We're playing in luck. Ain't that the kid and the fellow we've seen him with this afternoon riding toward us?

[H]

Look, Treadway.

[I]

I'll wait till they're almost on top of us.

[H]

Here they come, Wash.

[I]

Okay, let me now start throwing some lead around the rears.

[E]

All right, hold it. You don't want to get blasted clean out of your saddles.

[I]

You're smart, mister. You leave that gun right in its holster.

[E]

What's going on here? What is this? Oh, nothing.

[I]

We're just taking you and this kid for a little ride.

[F]

Go on. You lay a hand on me and I'll slap your ass off.

[E]

You better do as he says, Mickey.

[F]

Well, why don't you do something? I thought you were the guy who captured Billy the Kid.

[E]

Well, I. I was. It doesn't happen to be Billy the Kid.

[I]

You said it. And if you're interested to know just who it is, my name's Acres Rowley.

[C]

Uh.

[J]

Oh.

[F]

Hey, look. Cherokee fainted and fell right off his horse.

[D]

Believe me, Mrs. Davis, I'd give my right arm if I knew what happened to Cherokee and Nicky.

[J]

No, Chad, you've got to do something.

[F]

You've got to.

[G]

Nah, nah, don't go to blaming Chad, Nellie.

[D]

I'm as much at fault as anybody, I guess. But I think with your help, Ike, maybe we can find them.

[J]

You mean you know what happened to him?

[D]

Well, about a mile from here, I found tracks where two horses had stopped. I also found some empty shells.

[G]

Tarnation thunder. Chad, you mean there's been a shooting?

[D]

I don't know what I mean yet, Ike, except that the hoof track seemed to lead past the fence at the south of your hayfield and overthrew those aspens.

[J]

Threw the aspens. But Ike told me there was nothing over there except an old shack and a barn that are divided, deserted and

[G]

some folks say haunted.

[D]

Oh, now look, man, you gotta pull yourself together. You'd better go into the kitchen and fix yourself a cup of strong coffee. Ike, go strap a gun on and get yourself a horse. We got some trailing to do. And I'm afraid that this time every second counts.

[F]

Cherokee, you gotta get us out of here. This one spooky.

[E]

What do you think I am, a magician? I've got so many ropes tied around me now, I feel like I'll be

[F]

in the saucy Germany. Cherokee, what are we gonna do?

[E]

Mickey, I wish I could give you the answer. Say, do you know there's boards in this loft we're stand on are rotten. We're lucky enough maybe I can bust it through like this.

[F]

Jerry, I think I hear someone coming.

[E]

Are you low down, good for nothing thieving crook. What are you back for now?

[I]

Just wrote a note. I want this brat to sign so we can collect some money from his mother. Le, you climb up at that.

[E]

What's that? That's me getting loose, that's what it is. Mickey, look out. Le, he busted through the pool for us.

[F]

Mickey.

[E]

Mickey, run for it.

[I]

Quick.

[E]

Laughing Grab that kid.

[F]

Let go. Me let go. Oh, my God.

[E]

Oh, yeah. Concerned bread. Now I got you.

[I]

Well, thought you give us the slip, did you?

[E]

Well, we blame near did.

[I]

Yeah, blame near did. So you'll blame near. Don't do it again. I'm gonna put you someplace you'll never get out of. A six foot hole.

[F]

Ah, go on. You wouldn't Dare shoot Cherokee.

[E]

Well, if you've got any ideas on how to stop making, speak up now or forever hold your peace.

[I]

All right. You got any last words? You know, something they can put on your headstone?

[E]

Why, if I told you all the last words I have, I'd be here till the week from next January, you pusillanimous, pasty faced polecat.

[I]

All right, that's the last thing you're

[C]

gonna say on this earth.

[E]

Hopefully. He's the Chad. Chad, look out. They both got guns. They both better use them. Mike, you grab the little one, quick.

[F]

Come on, Pop, go help you.

[E]

All right, you hold him, Chad, and I'll slug him. Well, Mickey, and you too, Cherokee.

[D]

I don't know how you did it, how you found them, but this was good work. This barman is Bakos.

[I]

Raleigh.

[E]

Yes,

[F]

Germany. Christmas. Cherokee's gone and fainted again.

[E]

Ah, Nelly, without a doubt the finest vegetable soup I've ever eaten. In fact, I'd say this soup will grow more hair on a man than my rattlesnake oil. Works on the wrong places.

[G]

Hey, if you think this is good, Jerry D, you ought to taste the soup. Nearly makes coal clam chowder.

[J]

Coney island clam chowder. But you don't have clams out here of earth. And they're too expensive for folks like us to buy anyway.

[F]

Yes, well, Mont swell cook.

[D]

Well, with Pecos trial coming up at the end of this week, you'll be getting your share of the Wells Fargo reward money. That ought to buy you a lot of things that you need.

[G]

Jumped up John Thomas cad. No such thing. That reward belongs to you in charity, not me.

[D]

Oh, maybe not to you, Ike, but Mickey is certainly entitled to his share.

[F]

Shucks. Check. I didn't do nothing.

[E]

Oh, the ticket. You didn't. You put that horrible looking lefty on his gun arm so he couldn't use it. Matter of fact, I think he saved my life.

[D]

Well, if that's true, Cherokee, maybe you ought to give Mickey your share of the Wells Fargo reward, too.

[J]

Oh, no, I should say not. I wouldn't hear Robert Mellie.

[D]

It might prove to be a very good thing for Cherokee. Anytime he gets his hands on money, he throws it away over the nearest bar.

[E]

Ah, but not this time, counselor. This time I put my money in the savings bank.

[D]

Oh, so? And why the change of heart?

[E]

Well, he gave me a little pocket bank to save my nickels and dimes.

[I]

Head.

[E]

It has a quotation on it, says giant oaks, a little acorn strong.

[H]

Yes,

[E]

so being a man who is interested in any kind of corn at an age and oak. I figure I ought to end up owning a distillery.
