This "Gunsmoke" episode, like many others in the series, has a distinct feel of being a western version of "Dragnet", with Marshall Matt Dillon being analogous to Sergeant Joe Friday.
George Fenneman plugged L&M cigarettes during Gunsmoke (on the radio). George Walsh was, of course, the show's main announcer for almost all of the radio and television Gunsmoke's run.

Even though Gunsmoke is about a lawman, it appears the direct inspiration for Dillon wasn't Joe Friday (a cop) but Philip Marlowe (a PI): "In the late 1940s, CBS chairman William S. Paley, a fan of the Philip Marlowe radio series, asked his programming chief, Hubell Robinson, to develop a hardcore Western series, about a "Philip Marlowe of the Old West". Robinson delegated this to his West Coast CBS vice president, Harry Ackerman, who had developed the Philip Marlowe series." Wikipedia
There is. All you have to do is google "Gunsmoke" and the title of the episode and you are likely to find a web-site (e.g. Old -Time Radio downloads", etc.) which usually has the date of the original broadcast.

I like them thank you for putting them up.
Wish there was a way to know the date they first aired.

As a previous listener noted, sometimes Matt gets off his horse and you don't hear spurs.
