 James Arness, who presided over the frontier town of Dodge City as television’s most enduring western hero, the laconic, fair-minded and incorruptible Marshal Matt Dillon of the two-decade-long series “Gunsmoke,” died June 3 at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 88. Arness and the crew of Gunsmoke filmed the memorable two-part episode titled Snow Train featuring the 1880 TRAIN in the Black Hills in March of 1970.
