  Speaker 4: Way right now. Five hundred years Bill Steedman, Bill ah
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Bill or me come here? Well, what's up here?
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Here's a number that says Texans can't ride. I'm admitting
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: this year horse and he's just now through me. But
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: I maintaining that don't prove nothing now.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I was about it. I think you can do it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I'd be willing to try in climbing to saddle and
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: show him.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Sure, I'll ride like, well, this isn't strictly fair. In
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the first place, my horse has carried me a long
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: ways today, he's tired. In the second place, he's already
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: thrown one of you. Of course he can be ridden.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: If you're going to have one man after another, try
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it until one of your stays on any horse weakend
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: in time?
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: And what's your emotional what's fair?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: How about postponing this until tomorrow sometime, say tomorrow afternoon.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: That'll rode with you? Bill? Sure? Why not?
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: And how about making this interesting?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Montana, We're always willing to back up our opinions. Me
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: just walk and I've got one thousand dollars. It isn't
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: doing anything just now. I'll wager all of it, or
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: any part of it that you care to cover on
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: my horse. But of course, if you haven't the courage
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of your conviction.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: MA blest you. I'll take a hundred of that marself. Here,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: lad here.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Mister, I reckon you're cold? Or how much hoot up
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: your thousand. I'll guarantee every dollar it'll be covered.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Good enough, and the time.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Shoot yourself anytime you name is. Don't rot with us.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Right now, very well, I've got some business to attend to,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: So the later in the day the better.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: How about five in the afternoon. Builk me and it's
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: all right with me. I can be there.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: I suppose there'll be quite a crowd on hand to watch.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: It's everybody in town, mister.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And how about holding this contest on those flats I
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: noticed just south of town.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: Any objection, right?
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: So please? I was going to suggest myself.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I won't insist this man here has to make the ride.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: You're free to choose anyone you wish. If he's thrown,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: E win. If he rides killer, you win. There's no
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: second chance for you to say fair enough. By the night, mister,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I'll have you a bet covered. And by tomorrow night
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you're gonna know there's at least one gent in Texas.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Your horse came through.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Word of the coming contests circulated throughout town, and the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: townspeople talk to nothing else. Tonto rode into Big Pine
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to purchase supplies the news and repeated it to his
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: white friend when he returned that night to their well
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: hidden camp. You've got a Look at this fellow who
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: calls himself Palmer tander uh he get good luck. He's
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the same fellow who went under the name of Ridgeway
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: at Center Springs, Eh. Not right? And he must also
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: be the same fellow who called himself Taylor that time
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: over New Mexico.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Not right.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking back over those stories we heard, Kimasavi,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and I'm glad we're here for the contest.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Why glad?
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I've got an idea that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Palmer or whatever his name is, is up to something
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: more than winning bets. He does the same thing wherever
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: he goes. It's easy to get men into arguments about
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: horses and their ability to ride them, and it's easy
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to mention bets and arrange a contests. Not right, what
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I've heard Palmer doesn't always win. He lost that time
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: in New Mexico.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: But him win other time. Maybe he wins more often
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: than he loses.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I couldn't say, But I do know one thing, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: what that every time he stayed one of these contests,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: there's been a hold up in town. Me not know that,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and it didn't occur to me until I started thinking back.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: It's true, However, why couldn't Palmer arrange these contests, not
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: so much to win any bets that might be made,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: but to get everyone out of town to watch the contest.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: That'd be plenty smart, and that's what he does.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Of course, those whole lips may have been just coincidence,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: but I doubt it hold up every place he holds
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a contest, there's too much to blame on luck. The
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: fact that he changes his name each time makes it
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: look as though he doesn't want to be traced. H
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He always seems to travel alone, but that doesn't prove anything.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It naturally not allow himself to be seen with the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: fellows who perform the actual robberies. That way, no one
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: would ever think of connecting him up with the robbery
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: unless her knew what had happened at the other places
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: where he'd been h He's always careful to keep these
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: contests space far enough apart, so there's a little danger
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of that. You tell law, if the sheriff wouldn't believe me,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I'd just be wasting my time. And if he did
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: believe me, he'd simply call off the contest and tell
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Palmer to get out of town. After all, there's no
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: proof against the fellow not right, no kee mus Hapy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: We'll say nothing, but if Palmer is a crook, we'll
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: attend to him ourselves. The following morning, the cafe was
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: colored with townsmen and men from the range would come
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to town to witness the contests. The lone ranger, without his
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: mask but wearing at disguise, circulated among them, keeping watch
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: on Palmer, who was a center of interest.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: You really think your horse can't be road mister? You
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: sure made a mistake when you bet again, Bill Stedman.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: I've made my bet. I think that speaks plainly enough
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: for the way I feel.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: You'll be feeling a heap different tonight, howdy Farmer, Oh, hello, chef.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Your horse feeling risky? D he's all right?
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: You go going bad for you that you didn't ask
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: some questions around before you put up your cash free
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: and easy. If you knowed a little more about Bill Stedman,
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: maybe you wouldn't have wanted to bet. Yes, Bill ain't
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: only the best rider around Big Pine, He's one of
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: the very best in the whole steam. He's won more
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: top owners at rodeos round and about. You can cheat
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: the stickhead.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: That's interesting, don't could find it so Nevertheless, I'm not
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: backing out. Maybe Killer can be ridden by one of
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: your men. I still doubt it. However, even if I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: were convinced that he could be, that would stand. I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: don't Renie, Why need do we?
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: Whatther Felsted must.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Been hurt for? Be you shit? I'm on outside. Stay
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: You've just come in and some bum nearly walked in
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: front of him. Bill twisted his back, throwing the fell
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: out of the way. Bill's right outside now I'll be blasted.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Come on, man, If Bill's hurt, that goes half thousand dollars,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: ain't another ride around here?
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Have as good as Bill is hurts. If he can't ride,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: we might just as well give up.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't that just be our luck? Wonder how bad hurt
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Billy is? There?
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: He is?
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Bill? Did we get this street? Did you go and
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: hurt your back so you can't ride? Reckon? I did sure?
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Back ache to beat gory? You sitting here till the
• 12:51

  Speaker 6: But I'm if you're broken. He ain't got a job,
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: then what do you call yourself? Gain't a bum? And
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: just course Bill was fool enough to try to save
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: your worthless hide.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: We're going to be out one thousand dollars. Please I
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: turn out or help you? But oh share now who
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: it is? Fort Jux.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: He couldn't help it none, and I couldn't just stand
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: by and watch him get run over?
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Wine?
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: Pleasing? Did you get in front of the stea? It
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: was my leg's hair. It goes beat on me every
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: once in a while. That's why they call me limpy,
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: and it's why I ain't been able to get regular shoe.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: You had to choose a time like this for your
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: fool ad to go burried on you again? Huh?
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: But on the side, well, that go's the contest my justice.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Well called holting.

  Speaker 5: Over, which is just what I expected.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I had you sized up as a bunch of cheap
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: sports when I first came here. Why I remember when
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the bet was made, nothing was said about any one
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: particular person making no ride. I told you could choose
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: any when you wished. He was the man you chose
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: is injured. I don't see why the bet should be
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: called off.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Said you just now suggested square one. The tech makes
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: your bargain. He keeps it. He know one of us
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: said we wanted to crawl out of it. You'll go
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: through it even if we do have to lose. Heah, Well,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: what do you want? I can ride. I'm a real
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: good rider. You you call yourself a horse when I'm

• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Everything's fixed. Hey, yeah, what time is it to be?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: At five o'clock on the flat south of town? And
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: you can take my word for it. There won't be
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a man, woman or child in town who.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Can leave chance all right, if you got lined up
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: for us the office of the stage line.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I understand this bullying stored there waiting for a special stage.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: We'll leave tomorrow. We'll clean up plenty on this.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: The stage armor is huh, that's just fine. At five
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: o'clock we take over.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: And now then I'll have to be getting back boys
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: when we leave Big Pine. This will be one town
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: that's stripped clean. In the meantime at the camp of
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the Lone Ranger and Tonto not far distant, Limpy rained
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: in the scalp, just boasting.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: You can ride him?
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Ride heap good?
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I should be able to. I've worked around horses
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: all my life.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Scout has never permitted anybody to ride him before unless
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: said it was all ride.
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: Well, I don't mind it, admitt me put up the
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: best tussle ever had with a horse too. And if
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: you asked me to ride that white horse of yours there, well.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I ain't so sure. But what i'd have had to
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: back out?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: How does it happen to a man who can ride
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: like you do can't hold a job.
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: Maybe you see, friend, that it was a horse tamping
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: me that give him a bad leg.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: No, my home's over near.
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: The Brazers at least ways it was had me place
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: him all over there, raised and sold nothing but horses,
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: and had a lot of tough luck.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: And lost it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I don't like that nickname of yours, Mphy. Yes, what's
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: your real name? Sam Bowers friend?
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: The nickname? Well, I don't care.
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: So much for myself, but don't do no good to get.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Mad about things like that. Well we'll call you Sam.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: You think you could ride that horse?
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Say? You sure don't think.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: He's equal to scout here, do you?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I know he's nothing, And you just bet I can
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: ride them and without half trying either.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Then you will. I know what the sheriff said, But
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: that doesn't matter. Sam.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: You're not only going to ride that horse and win
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: their bet for the townspeople. You're going to help catch
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: some crooks as well. When Palmer had said that every man,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: woman and child would be on hand for the contest
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: that afternoon, you'd not been exaggerating by hinting that Texans
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: were not the equal of other Westerners in horsemanship. Palmer
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: had aroused the indignation of every resident of Big Pine
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and the surrounding countryside. Victory became to them a matter
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: of personal pride. Long before five o'clock they began making
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: their way to the flats when the contest was to
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: be held, And when the time approached, the place was crowded. Yeah,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: where's the sheriff?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah? What do you want?
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: You're holding mistakes?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Who I am any objection, none at all.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to clearly understood that I expect to
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: be paid off as soon as your man has been drown.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: You will be missed if he's known. Only don't be
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: too dog going sure about that ahead of time? Maybe
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: you will get surprised. Stedman isn't riding, is he Nope?
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: But we got an inch best? But where is he?
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: It's almost five now? I want this run off exactly

• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Why donder you raise your hands like it was told?

  Speaker 2: But while Big Pine was almost deserted, Palmer's two Confederates.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Buffalo Sage rained up before the office of the stage line,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: dismounted and walked up the steps to the door.

  Speaker 2: saddle of Palmer's hurt at the same shots that Palmer's
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: confederates heard in town to be heard out on the
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: plat at the sound the masked man shot it.

  Speaker 4: That's the whole sale. I'm in forth and he knows

  Speaker 6: Horse back anyhow, come on, help me to town.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: With the sheriff and Palmer and the lead.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: The angry townspeople, thinking they had been tricked, followed in
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: pursuit of the mask man and his companion. They thundered
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: into the town and down the main street towards the
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: stage office. But as they kept the mask mat in sight,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: they saw something that surprised him. The lone Ranger and
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Sam were joined by an Indian, and the three raced
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: on until they overtook two madly spurring strangers. Then they
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: heard the sound of firing. Who what the perner's throwing
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: on flight? Sometime they made their mother to first up,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: come on out of the chance, will you get up
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: to before they can get started again.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Don't look to me as though they're even trying to
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: get away. Looks just as though they was waiting for
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: hold of guns on their first two tests. Besides what
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Wace does it It's all about.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: You find out stay away. We got yet you try
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: to get away. We like to have it. We're waiting
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: for you.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: These are the men you want to arrest. Share up
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and just held up and robbed the office of the
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: stage company. You'll find the gold bullion and they're stolen
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: their saddle bags. But look here, ow of hair fire.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Those shots you heard a few minutes back, those shots
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: were a signal we've been waiting for. It meant these
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: fellas were carrying out the hold up they had planned.
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: Palmer one move an eye fire him, for he's the
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: man who planned the hold up, Cliet Jar. We knew
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: there'd be a hold up because.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Everywhere Palmer promoted one of these riding contests, there was
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: a hold up in town at the same time.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: You doubt that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I'll give you the names of half a dozen towns
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: where you can check. And in each one of those towns,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Palmer went by a different name.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: That's not so.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Don't believe what he's saying. Just trying to pick your
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: games up, Palmer. These fellows don't talk. It won't take
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the share of long to investigate and learn the truth.
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, right we are Palmer, I reckon, we can get
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: it the truth right now?
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: You follow what You're caught dead the right now?
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: Do you want to tell the truth about this or
• 27:09

• 27:10
  Speaker 6: here to deal with you anyway they want.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: We are to string them up and pot it just
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: what they got com No, they got to give us

  Speaker 4: the trial. It was pumper printed sheevy. We was working

  Speaker 4: What's that?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Sam here has told me his story. He hasn't been
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: able to get work because no one would let him
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: prove me get handled.
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: The reel job.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I think after the riot he gave Palmer's course today
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: he proved plenty besides winning your bets.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: For you that would just find a piece of riding,
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: misters I ever seen.
• 27:49

  Speaker 4: were riding?
