 city and in the territory on West there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers and that's with a U.S. Marshall and the smell of guns smoke. William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved West with Young America and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chance a job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely. August 13th, 1940. This is London. As we all know, there are a good number of creatures in the temple. London's name is calm and outwardly undisturbed. In these days of the war, the hope of London and perhaps the hope of the Empire rests with the wider command of the war. Comment from London by CBS Newsman Edward R. Murrow 20 years ago.

CBS News presents this conclusive page from World War II history tonight. Don't miss it. Another of the outstanding special services of CBS News covering the past as well as the present in World Affairs. The Battle of Britain from CBS News on CBS Radio tonight. Just about ready for you. You find you so near a cotton with growth. You don't know what we've done on the other one. You just thought it's something silly. Like what? You ain't about shooting a man in the back, are you? You could make me mad talking like that digger. And that worries me. Oh, shut up. Hurry up. Get this over with. We've been waiting on you, Pate. It's rare we're looking so long-faced about. What I told you before, this ain't right. You're telling me it ain't right to hang off, Steve. It ain't right to hang nobody the way you're doing it. I don't know with lynching. Hanging our horse, Steve, ain't lynching. You can't even throw these at thieves. Then what was he doing with our horses? I was camped. I didn't know nothing about your horses. I suppose they wound it up to you in the night. I don't know how they got there. Yeah. But we do. That ain't so, Glick. We don't know nothing of the kind. I've lost horses the same as you and Pate. And I don't like it any better than you do. But just because this man was camped near a few head of yours is no proof he was stealing them. We're wasting time listening to you, Robo. Yeah. You don't like what we're doing once you just get out. I'm gonna get out now. You keep your mouth shut about this, you hear? You wouldn't dare say nothing, Glick. You better not. The noose looks kind of empty dangling there. Don't you put his neck. Yeah. You know nothing but murderers. There's no way to go to your maker calling people names. Yeah. I'll get on your horse. Go on. What are you gonna do? Hold the rope? Of course not. I'm gonna tie it to the trunk of the tree and we'll slap that horse out from under you. Get mounted now. How can I get mounted with my hands tied? Oh, I'll help you. I'd pay take up a slack, will you? And get that rope tied. I'll go get a horses. You might have a decency to wait and put a bullet in me. Well, it's cost seven cents a piece, Digger. You were tonight thought that rope tied and that new figure I guess it'll do. All set, Digger? I ain't afraid. It wouldn't matter if he was, would it? Here's your horse, Pate. Let's get him out of here. Okay. I'll give his horse a lick and then we'll ride off. I ain't got no stomach to watch a man hang. You coward. Glick, get it over with. All right, let's go. There you are. Now you can breathe. It wasn't too long. You hardly passed out. Feels good. Get your hands untied. Robo, you come back. Now you can sit up. Feel okay? Waitin. I circled back into them trees. I couldn't fight them. Not the two of them. I sure it ain't to let them hang you. I don't know. I don't know how to thank a man for saving me. There's no need to. Robo? Robo, it's a truth. It's honest truth. I ain't a horse thief. I never thought you was, Digger. Can you stand? Yeah. Yeah. If we didn't put 10 miles from Dodge, I'd be proud to buy you a drink. All right. I got something mighty interesting to tell you on the way. Authors, this Saturday we're laxing all the blowers. Not me. You only have to move the furniture. All week I've had a nagging backache with sleepless nights. Feel glad though. That's why I should think you'd want to use for that backache. But how? I don't feel. Good advice. That's don't feel an analgesic and mild diuretic to the kidneys. Magging backache, also headache, dizziness and muscular aches and pains, may come on with overexertion, emotional upset or everyday stress and sprain. Don't pain-relieving action is often the answer. And they also offer mild diuretic action for the kidneys. So if nagging backache is making you feel worn out, tired and miserable, with restless sleepless nights, don't wait. Try don't feel. Use successfully by millions for over 60 years. See if they don't bring you the same welcome relief. Get don't feel today to save money by don't big economy size. Have you showed up yet? Well, he went into office for a minute. He said if you sit down, you'll be right back out. You tell him about Joe Dugger? Well, I told him about the lynching and how you cut him down. Is that all? Well, I started to tell him the rest, but he's in a hurry. He said he'd hear it all from you. It's bad, ain't it? Yeah, I know you're doing everything you can about it. I hate informing on people. Yeah, but murder is worse, really. Oh, here he is. Give that all over. Hello, Marshall. Hello. Uh, I've been sitting here. I ain't time for it. Uh, just to tell me about what happened. That was a fine thing you did, Robo. I don't hold with lynching, Marshall. No. And I don't hold with murder either. He's gonna kill him. He says he don't care how he does it. Does Joe Digger, you mean? That's what he said, Marshall. And he meant it, too. Well, when I land, you sure can't blame him much after what they've done to him. I didn't serve his life so as he could go on a killing spree, Chester. Where is he, Robo? I left him over at the long branch. I don't want to come point him out to you, but he's tall, fella. No beard. We're in a black hat. Oh, fine. Come on, Chester. Uh, are Glick and Pave in town, Robo? I ain't seen him. And I sure don't want to. Now, you better keep out of sight for a while. I ain't into Marshall. I don't see nobody in here like he described me, John. Now, there's Kitty, let's ask her. Maybe he's already left town, looking for Glick and Pave. We'll have to write out after him, Chester. And I hope he eats less. Come on, Max. Oh, Kitty. Sit down and tell me who you're looking for. Now, how did you know we were looking for somebody? I saw how you came there. Kitty, did you ever hear of Joe Digger? Not until the night, man. Oh, you've been talking to him? Mm-hmm. Bill Robo brought him in. He went next door for some tobacco. He'll be back soon. Good. I take it you know what happened. Yeah. And what are you doing here? Why aren't you out at the Glick and Pave? One thing at a time, Kitty. Well, if you don't believe it about Joe Digger now, you will be able to see him. He's got a marker on his neck like a black snake. It's a horrible thing, Max. You mention that. That's about the worst thing I know. What about those two men? I mean, since they really didn't have any. They came close enough for me, Kitty. There he is. He just came in. Headed to the party, see? Yeah. Uh, no, Chester, you stay here. You Joe Digger? Yeah, that's me. I hear you're running into some trouble today. Yeah, I see you talking to Miss Kitty. Well, I came in here looking for you. What for? I'm a marshal. Oh, somebody drives the lyncher man I want to know about it. It's all over, Marshal. They didn't kill nobody. You mean you'd like for me to forget about it? Nothing happened. I'm alive, ain't I? You take it pretty easy, Digger. The ordinary man might be kind of mad about it. They made a mistake, Marshal. They thought they was doing right. Oh, the rope burning's gonna hurt me, Digger. Don't you think you're wasting your time lying to me? What? I came here to tell you to leave black and late to me. Which one are you going after first? So you can get the other one. They don't deserve a try. They're gonna get one. And so will you if you kill either one of them. I've been pretty lucky so far. Look, Digger, I know how you feel about this, but stay out of it from now on. This is my business. You're denying me what's mine. That kind of thing is gonna lead you to the end of another rope. That's not worth it. Maybe it is. Don't be a fool. Think about it. Okay. I'll think about it. It's midnight now. I'll think about it too, tomorrow midnight. By then, you better have him in jail, Marshal. Them or you? There's smoke coming out of the chimney, Chester. Wouldn't it? Not very likely. Mr. Glick's gonna be feeding the law today. Yeah, I reckon not. Let's leave him here. Shoot, leave him here. I'll have to fix it before we start back. We might do it the languages, too. You won't have much choice about it. I think you'll put up a fight. I hope to find something before you. No, don't bother. You might help. You walk into a man's house and arrest him. You ought to know what it's about. You and Pate murder a man yesterday. What, man? Joe Digger. I never heard of an old Joe Digger. And you shouldn't go around lynching strangers. That's what this all about. Oh, yeah, I seen that fellow, Marshal, yeah. I was riding right by there yesterday. I seen him hanging. I don't know who did it. I'm sure it wasn't me and Pate. Digger says it was. He says you and Pate lynched him. Robo told you. Robo cut him down. Digger's alive. First of all, attempted murder. 20 years, Glick. But it'll save your life. Digger's after you. He's going to kill you if he gets a chance, but I beat him here. Now, I want to get to Pate's before he does. Pate, he's in dodge today. And we better get moving. You're a prisoner, Glick. Oh, no, wait a minute, Marshal. We've an eye on him, Chester. I'm going to take my horse around to the barn and I'll take your... What happened, Chester? Where's Glick? He ran out back. Well, you've been hit. He got me alone. It was his wife, Miss Dylan. She called him from the kitchen and he went to the door and she slipped him again. He snapped off a shot at me and run out back so I could move. She stood in the door and said, I couldn't shoot. Oh, it's your arm. Is it broken? No, no, it's just tore up a little. I never thought about it. The barn door's open. Are you going to walk right up there? No, no, we can't do that. Here, we're here by the corner of the house. You get on behind that rain barrel. Well, I sure ain't nothing to lose. Try to stop me now, Marshal. It's now your story runs. How come you rode safe for me? Why didn't you go the other way? I knew our horses were up in front and wanted to get to them before we did. You want to go to jail? No, we can't go off and leave her like this. I'm going to dig a grave for him. We'll just have to leave her. Tate won't go to jail either. This is Dennis James. Say, remember way back when this melody was popular? There's something very special about a long time favorite, isn't there? Well, folks feel the same way about one of Kellogg's favorites, Kellogg's Allbrand. Going on 41 years now, Kellogg is most popular good food way to fight irregularity from lack of bulk. Because it's whole brand, Kellogg's Allbrand gentles away irregularity safely and reliably. And because it's deep toasted for extra crispness, it never gets mushy in milk. There's only one Allbrand, Kellogg's Allbrand. That's A-L-B-R-A-N. Kellogg's Allbrand. How soon is the dressing going to be for a while? It says I can watch it. Did you get the horses put out, Mr. John? Yeah, I took care of them. And we better start looking for hands paid. They're midnight, Chester. You've got a bed. I'll find them. No, sir. I'm lonely. Well, I know I ain't much help, but I can look one way while you're looking at it. Up to him. You know, I've heard of cases where this sort of thing was up to the doctor, not the patient. I ain't no patient doctor, no. Maybe you'll begin to feel more like a patient when I give you my bill. Bill? You're going to charge me for pouring that smell of yourself on my arm and wrapping it up with a couple of little rags? Chester, your bill has just gone up a dollar. Well, not darker. I didn't mean to be mad. You better shut up and come with me, Chester. You'll be a lot safer. Yes, sir. I'm sure I am. See you later, Doc. Yes, well, Matt, is there going to be a shooting? I don't know, but you better not go to bed for a while yet. Oh, I'll be here. Your arm even hurts? Sure, it does. It hurts very much. Does that help keep me awake? I don't think it hurts at all. You'll be yelling your head off. It does, too. You just don't realize how brave I am. I'm trying to get you to go to bed, Chester. There we are. Well, we'll look first. All right, Texas train was the closest. I guess anything would have already happened. Doc, are you sure about it? Wouldn't you, uh... Hey, maybe if we run into Gary Bigger first, you ought to lock him up. The temple area, like... I aim to. Hey, it might have left town all the way. They told me his horse is still at the stable, Chester. I guess he's not planning to go home tonight. Can you be this funny? He is. I was in Texas train with him. Yeah. Gary Bigger, he just come out. You stay here. I told you I would. You waited for what? Well, to kill, I ain't think. What? It's after midnight. Five minutes or so. I just figured you wasn't going to do nothing about it. You figured wrong. Both those shots yours. Sure they were. I didn't even wait for him to draw. You know, a man like that don't deserve a chance. You should have let the law decide about that, Bigger. Then you're going to jail. Then why hadn't you done it? Because I was busy. Busy doing what? Try to take click. Trying? Where is he? He's dead. I guess I beat you to him. You didn't beat me to hang paint, Marshal. For your sake, I wish I hadn't. All right, Bigger. You're under arrest for murder. Oh, no, no. That ain't fair. I warned you. No. Are you all right? Did he start going? I couldn't see him. I tried, Chester. Maybe I should have let him. But then you had to shoot him? I know. This way, like I told him, I probably just saved him for the end of another rope. Petty. Day or night, with meals or by itself, birthdays or weekends, for parties or all by yourself.
