Chester and I left Dodge that afternoon and toward evening the next day we ran across a troop of cavalry camped on the Smoky Hill river and commanded by a young officer who was new to this part of the country, a Captain Star. He was anxious to make a success of his first expedition, but so far he hadn't even seen an Indian. I decided to stay with him for a while, and I'm glad I did. The next afternoon while we were on the march, his scouts reported another settler's cabin burned, the family killed. At my request, Captain Starr filed his troop out on patrols while he and Chester and I rode forward to the scene of the squad, the whole family, man and wife and their boy. Look over there, Chester, against the water barrel. Oh, my. It's a little girl. Yeah, they scalped them. Every one of them. Even that little girl. They even scalped her. At least they didn't torture them. Did they torture the other family, Captain? No, they didn't, Marshall. They shot them just like this. Scalped them. Where are you going, Marshall? What is it? Captain Starm, last night you told me this is your first tour of duty in Indian country. That's right, Marshal. Take a look around, Captain. I have. All right. All three of these settler families were killed in the open outside their cabins. Now does that mean anything to you? Well, I guess the Pawnees surprised them. They sure did. There are not many arrows around. If these people had had a chance to put up a fight, there'd be a lot of arrows. They were shot martial with rifles. Look at the ground, Captain. There are no tracks. Every sign of the track's been dragged out with a blanket. Yes, you're right. I hadn't noticed that. There's one other thing you hadn't noticed, or maybe you don't know about. What's that? That boy there. How old would you say he was? Oh, about the same age as the boy, as the last place, maybe 12, 13. Yeah, Captain, that's old enough to be a brave in a couple of years. If he was a Pawnee. Now, what do you mean, if he was a Pawnee? They usually keep a boy that age. They don't kill him. They take him and try to make a brave out of him. Oh. Oh, I didn't know that. You don't think it was Pawnees that done this, Mr. John? No, I don't, Chester. That Warren Moccasins doesn't care about his tracks. He's got nothing to hide. I'm afraid I don't understand, Marshall. It wasn't Pawnees that did this, Captain. Wasn't Indians at all. It was white men. Marshall Dillon. Yeah? No white man would shoot that little girl over there and then the scalper. Captain, did you ever hear what Chivington did to the Cheyennes at Sand Creek? Kill and scalp them all, he said. Big and little nits make lice. Congress has repudiated that whole affair, Martin. It still happened, Captain, and there was still white men that did it. Yes, I suppose you're right. Amorites. But why did they do it? That was horses. See that corral out there? This man must have had six, seven head of horses. Yes, the other settlers did, too. They stole the horses and probably whatever they could find in the cabins. And right now they're sitting around camp somewhere drinking coffee and laughing at all of us Indian hunters. I'll find them. It's a big country, Captain. I've got a troop of cavalry out there, Marshal. Over a hundred men. All right. Suppose you do find some riders with a bunch of horses. How are you going to know they're the men you're after? Those horses are branded, aren't they? What brands? I don't know, but they must be registered somewhere. Yeah, maybe while you're finding all that out, some of the families are going to be slaughtered. No, Captain, there isn't Time. I didn't realize how new I am at this game, Marshall. What would you suggest? Well, there used to be a corral about five miles up river from here. They'll stand in. We'll bait it with a couple of dozen head of good cavalry horses. They'll come to us. Good idea. And I'll have my troop deployed and ready to move in. No, that wouldn't work, Captain. You can't hide a hundred men. You'll have to keep your cavalry clear away. But how can be. Chester and I'll be there. We'll. We'll wait for him. Here's another. Green branches, Mr. Johnson?

ByHeart Formula Advertiser (13:36)

Yeah.

Narrator/Characters from Gun Smoke and OTRWesterns (13:36)

We'll throw them on the fire chest till. Let's have some more smoke. Yeah, that'll do it. How to see that? If they're anywhere this side of the Rocky Mountains, they're sure to be scouting around. They ain't stolen enough forces to leave the country yet. Besides, they're feeling mighty safe. They'll come. Mr. Dillon. Yeah? I've been thinking. It's dawn. That'll make you rich, Chester. Not thinking. I don't care so much about being rich as going on living. Now, what's bothering you? Well, sir, there's only two of us. I was wondering how many there are of them. You want to go back and find the cavalry? You didn't answer my question, Mr. Johnson. How many you think we're waiting for? There's no way of telling. Well, if there's a whole pass of them, how in the world are we going to take them? I don't really care how we take them. Just. You're pretty mad, ain't you? Just can't get that little girl out of my mind, huh? Look up somebody. He's all alone. Just some cowboy, probably. Maybe. Yeah, sure it is. He seen smoke bar fire. Now he's wondering what that old corral's doing full of horses. He might be scouting it for the others. Those men don't take many chances. How are we going to find out? Maybe we won't till it's too late. You heat up some coffee for him. Trust it. I think I'll have a cup of that, too. Morning. Don't you get on, stranger. We'll have some hot coffee up in a minute. Let d my horse here. Sure used some coffee. I had to make dry camp last night. Oh, you couldn't have been very far away. Why didn't you ride on down to the river here? I'll tell you why, mister. I was lost. Rode till after dark. Got lost. Your Horse could have found it for you, though. Maybe my horse ain't as smart as yours. No offense. Sit down. Chester's bringing the coffee now then sit in. All morning. Hey. Hi, mister. We ain't got no sugar. You've been traveling pretty light, ain't you? What do you mean? Here's your cousin. Oh, thanks. Seen all them horses? Mighty big. Remote of them. No wagons, not much grub. I can see they were driving those horses to Cheyenne. There's only two of us. We couldn't handle a wagon in the herd. Both. Oh, only two of you? Yes, sir. Well, I'm drifting, mister. Maybe you could use another hand. Maybe. Where you from? Dakota Territory. Name of Lee Stapp. And I'd sure like to see Cheyenne. I've never been there. Why don't you ride up there alone at a beat, chasing a herd of horses all the way? Yep. I'm broke, mister. I wouldn't have much of a party in Cheyenne, broke, would I? No, I don't guess you would. I'm a good hand. I work cheap. How about it? You're a good hand, huh? Yeah, sure. Of course I am, mister. I wouldn't hire you to herd sheep. What? You said you made a dry camp last night. How come you tie your horse up without watering him while you stand here slopping up coffee? Well, it's my horse, ain't it? Yeah, sure. How's the coffee? The coffee, is it any good? Well, sure. Sure it is. All right, then. Have some more of it. That's one chance, sir. Here. Catcher's gone. I got it now. Go get some rope. We'll tie him up while he's still out. Mr. Dillon, you sure he ain't just a cowboy like you said? I was pretty sure, Chester, but this made me realize sure it was sticking out of his pocket. I'll get the rope. And we are hanging with it.

Do you see speed laws and other regulations as restrictive or do you look upon them as protective? When a police officer writes a summons for traffic violations, do you see him as an enemy or friend? Your life May depend on your attitudes. Statistics clearly indicate that when laws are obeyed, deaths go down. It's no secret that emotional immaturity is the major factor in our accident rate. How else but childish can you describe the notion that breaking a traffic regulation is a way of getting away with something? What could be more infantile than believing one can prove his superiority by ignoring a stoplight? Unfortunately, too many drivers on the road subscribe to that kind of emotional outlook. The result is tragic. Almost 85% of all traffic accidents in America are caused by careless, childish driving. We hope sincerely that your attitudes are adult. We hope you know our traffic laws and the people who enforce them are there to help save your life. See anything yet, Chester? There's some dust about a mile away. Right this way. I reckon maybe half dozen riders. Your friends don't take many chances, do they, Steph? There ain't no friends of mine. I'll tell them that when they get here. You better turn me loose. You ain't gonna tell nobody nothing. You mean they won't like it? You're being all tied up that way? I mean you ain't got a chance, Marshall. Oh, you about right, Mr. Dylan. How are we going to fight six men? I've been thinking, Chester, but we can't stand up to six men. We wouldn't have a chance. No, we wouldn't. I'm going to do something I never did before in my life. What? Get your bandana and fix Step so he can't talk good. Well, I ain't going to do you no good. You shut up and get on your feet. Bandana. Yeah, I'll do it. On your feet, Step. Come on. Come on. All right, get. All right, Moose. Chester, turn around. That ought to keep you quiet, Step. All right, now walk. Your rifle. Oh, thanks. You get down behind that log over there. Trust her? Yes. I'm going to. Keep step with me right here. All right, Step. Lie down. If you make any noise, I'll speak with your skull, so help me. Now, go on, lie down. Okay, Chester. Keep the sun off your rifle. They're getting pretty close. Quiet. Now what? What are we going to do? Fight it out from here, Chester. I'd hate for either of us to get killed by men like them. When I start shooting, you start. You take whoever's on your side first and then work in. Yeah, so they'll never know it. Shut up now. Here they are. It might be over to the river. Go. Get down and wait here for them. Maybe stops killed them already. We didn't hear no shooting. Did we? I don't like this. Jake Stapp should have been back long time ago. Dap knows what he's doing. Them sure fine horses, ain't they? Bow. Jesse. Don't shoot no more. All right. Throw your guns away. Sure. Yeah. Now turn around. Get your hands up in the air. All right. Chester, come over here. We killed four of them, Ms. Dylan. Four of them. Bring staff up to the fire. I'll handle these. Yes. You two stop just in time. You can turn around now. Who are you? What'd you ambush us for? Why you done killed four men. I'm a U.S. marshal, mister. U.S. am I? What kind of marshal would ambush a bunch of men like that? My kind, mister. I don't tie the bandana, Mr. Dillon. No reason you shouldn't talk now. It was murder. That's what it was. That was plain murder. It sure was. Even if he is a marshal, he'll hang for this. He never give us a chance. You're right mister. I didn't give you a chance. There were too many of you. And besides, I never knew any men that deserved a chance less than you. Are you talking about we ain't done nothing. Uh huh. I found this yellow hair ribbon in your friend Staps pocket there. Take a look at it. Well, what's this? This ain't nothing. Just little yellow ribbon. There was more than just the ribbon, you blasted fool. Stap. No, I didn't take nothing else. That was just kind of a souvenir. I told you to root of everything you know. Step. I'm sorry you came in alone. I wish you had been with the others. But I'm going to see you hanged. All three of you. It's that little girl jello hair ribbon that's going to hang you.
