(https://rss.com/podcasts/old-time-radio-mysteries-and-more/voicemail) In an east coast city, Anthony Boda, an immigrant shoemaker and store owner, is eating dinner on a Thursday evening. His wife says "You're not hungry, Anthony?" He says "Yes, I'm really very hungry". She says "But, you haven't eaten a bite". Anthony says "I was just thinking". She asks "About what?" He says "Well, I'm not sure". His wife says "Uh, look, you always tell me later. Well, this time tell me sooner". Anthony says "Ten dollars is missing". His wife says "Ten dollars? How is that possible?" Anthony says "Well, you know, thanks to our son Lewis, we now have a cash register in the store". She says "I was always opposed to it". Anthony says "Our boy is right. It's the modern way". His wife says "But when you kept the money in a drawer, nothing was ever...." Anthony says "When we kept the money in a drawer, we never knew. How could we tell? This way. Every time you take in money, it prints on a paper. At the end of the day, the paper tells you how much money you should have". His wife says Oh, well then perhaps the paper is wrong". Anthony says "It's not possible. Now, what troubles me is it's always ten dollars". His wife asks "What do you mean always?" Anthony says "Well, not only is it always ten dollars, but it's always missing on a Friday night". His wife says "I tell you, it's that machine". Anthony says "Well, it's happened for the last six weeks. Could it be that Louis....?" His wife says "Oh, no. Your own son?" Anthony says "I don't know what to think". His wife says "Throw out that machine". The next day, about noon, Anthony says "Go have your lunch, Louis". He says "Pop, I promised the lady she could have her shoes at 1:00 o'clock". Anthony says "No, I'll finish for you. Go. Mama doesn't like it when anybody's late to eat". As Louis is leaving, he meets a man coming into the store. The man says "Hello, Louie". Louis says "Uh, what, what can I do for you, Chuck?" He says "You got to hand over a fin". Louis says "Um, listen, will you talk about this later?" Chuck says "What, later? I'm here now. Get it up". Anthony asks "Who is this man? What does he want?" Chuck says "Introduce me to your old man, Louie. The association likes to know all it's customers".

   Escape - The Red Forest

   Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! (https://rss.com/podcasts/old-time-radio-mysteries-and-more/voicemail) It had taken Wally Penndel five years, three months, and four days. It had carried him across twenty one states. And then, in the clear water country of Idaho, he found it. That was in the afternoon. The search had led from a lumber town, along a washboard road, and into the forests. There, he found what he was looking for, the secluded shack. After he had finished, Wally started back to his car. Making his way through the forest, he noticed that something was different. The trail that led to the shack seemed to have disappeared. Maybe it was the late sun through the trees, or maybe the tall shadows. The sounds of the forest also seem to have changed. Remembering that he used his last cigarette three or fours hours before, he began to hurry. It was nearly dark when Wally found the road. He came to it about a half a mile below where he parked the car. A half hour later, on the outskirts of a little town, Wally's headlights pick up a girl standing on the side of the road, holding a cheap suitcase and thumbing a ride. Wally pulls over, and the girl asks "Can I get a ride, mister?" Wally says "Sure. Put your case in the back". As they start back on the road, the girl says "Gee, I'm lucky. Not many cars on the road tonight". Wally says "Nah. Been walking long?" She says "Uh huh. My last ride dropped me a mile or so back. I don't guess you'd be going as far as Missoula?" Wally says "Well, sure". She says "Gee, that's swell. I got a job there starting tomorrow. Kind of broke, and buses cost money". Wally says "I know what you mean. Say, if you want to take a nap, it's okay. We've got about a hundred miles to go". She says "Thanks". About fifteen minutes later, Wally sees lights on the road. As he got closer, figures are waving. She says "Are we there already?" Wally says "No, there's something wrong. There's a cop coming this way". As the officer approaches, Wally says "Um, what's the trouble?" The officer says "Plenty. We want you, mister". Wally says "You want me?" Officer says "Yeah. Forest fire. Bad one. We got to have every man we can find".

(https://rss.com/podcasts/old-time-radio-mysteries-and-more/voicemail) New to Dodge City, brothers Jim and Will Thompson, step into Marshal Dillon's office. Matt says "Morning, boys". Jim says "Morning, sir. Are you the Marshal here in Dodge?" Matt says "Yeah, that's right. My name is Dillon, Matt Dillon". Jim says "Thompson's our name. I'm Jim. This is my brother, Will". Matt says "I'm glad to know you. This my sidekick, Chester Proudfoot". Chester says "Pleased to meet you". Jim says "Mr. Dillon, we're after some information. Will and I just brought a trail herd up from the Pecos country, around 2,000 head. We're holding them down river a few miles". Matt says "Oh, toward Walnut Creek?" Jim says "Yeah, I guess that's what they call it. You see, we had planned to drive them on up toward Wyoming, but we got to thinking, we might sell them here if we could get a fair price". Matt says "You shouldn't have any trouble. The market's good right now". Will says "So we've heard". Jim says "The only thing is, we don't know any buyers here. We were wondering if you might have an idea or two". Matt says "I see. Well, I suggest you go talk to Clem Bates. He runs the bank down on the west end of Front Street". Jim says "Clem Bates, huh?" Matt says "Yeah. He'll know of any buyers that happen to be in town. He might even buy the herd himself". Jim says "Well, we'll go right down and see him now, Mr. Dillon. And uh, much obliged to you, sir. Coming, Will?" He says "Yeah. It's been a pleasure talking to you, Marshal. Thank you". Matt says "Same to you. Goodbye". After the brothers leave, Chester says "Well, they seem like a couple of nice men, Mr. Dillon". Matt says "Yeah, couple of strange ones, Chester. I wonder what they're here for?" Chester says "Why, to sell a herd of cattle. You heard what they said". Matt says "Chester, when's the last time a trail driver came in here and asked me where to sell his cattle? They go to the bank or one of the saloons. They don't come to the jail".
