  Speaker 7: Let's go big pool will.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: It was nearly sundown. The setting sun reflected a dozen
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: colors and the painted cliffs, and in the distance, the
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: approaching horseman noted with some appreciation the beauty that surrounded him.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: His eyes, however, searched constantly along both sides of the
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: rocky trail, in the habit of a man accustomed to
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: meeting danger and unexpected places, and yet his keen vision
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: missed the sudden death that waited for him. High up
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: on the rocks. The man who lay there in ambush
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: slowly studied the stock of his rifle against his cheek
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: and took careful aim. As the horseman came up the
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: trail slowly, the raffleman's finger tightened on the trigger, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: then a voice sounded directly behind him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: Don't pull that trigger, mister. What they any shooting to
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: be done here? You're not going to do its? Mask

  Speaker 2: You might call it more of a friendly warning.
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: Friendly you packing two guns? I didn't beside the trail
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: and towing a rifle to boot.
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: This rifle came very close to putting you out of
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: commission for keeps, my friend?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: I took it away from a man who was waiting
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: an ambush up there, he's waiting for you, mister.

  Speaker 9: Hey, it's a good looking piece of horse flesh, fellow.
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: And how do you like the looks of the rifle
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: in my saddle boot?
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: Even a mask man doesn't travel this country on horseback
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: carrying two rifles, does he?
• 5:29
  Speaker 9: And you was telling the truth about some fellow laying
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: for me. Yes, But what in the name of places
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: you let the vomit go for? What did you hang
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: on to him?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Why did you?
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: I had my own reasons for that, and this sworning.
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: You mentioned just this, Maxim, stay out of Monroe if
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: you want to stay healthy. I'll take my own chances
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: on my health. Mask Man, you took one chance a
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: few minutes ago came mighty near losing. I reckon, I'm
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: obliged to you for what you've done. Maybe some day
• 5:59
  Speaker 9: I can do as much for you. But I've been
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: traveling upwards for two weeks to call on some folks
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: in Monroe. I'm aiming to pay that visit like I planned.
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: The folks you were going to call on must have
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: anticipated your visit. Yeah, yeah, friend of mine overheard some
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: talk about you. Yeah what kind of talk?
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: Killer talk among the men who are willing to bet
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: you wouldn't show up in Monroe alive.
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: This friend of yours is he one of the gang
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: in Monroe?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Hardly? Maxon, My friend and I have done you a
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: good turn.

• 6:41
  Speaker 8: A favor Right now that will even the score. Turn
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: your horse and head back up the trail away from Monroe. Sorry,
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: it's out of the question taking sides in a bad business, Maxim,
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: there's going to be war if you go ahead and
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: sign up with John Cartlely.
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: You know about that too, huh, I reckon, you must
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: be one of Bill james hired man. That's why you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: so all fired interest.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I'm nobody's hired man.
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: I'm trying to stop the James feud from breaking into
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: a range war. Cottley's a cattleman and a good one.
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: He wants my help and running the sheepherders out of
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: the country. I'll give it to him. I listen, my friend,
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: this is an open range, government range. There's no law
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: the States whether a man shall raise cattle or sheep
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: or horses. You understand you're wrong there, and me go
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: there's one law.
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: I reckon, it's on Cottley's side too, talking about six
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: gun law for the last time. Will you turn back now,
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: I'm riding into Monroe and out to Box Jay to
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: join up with John Cartley.
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: All right, here, give this to mister Kurtley when you
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: see him, were you what? And tell him to be
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: sure of what he's doing before he starts any trouble.
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: Tell him he'd better be very sure.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: But this all you want me to give him?
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: This bullets? Maxon, I'll see you again, big.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Fellow, one silver.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: For a long moment, John Cartly stared at the gleaming
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: silver bullet in his hand.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Then you're a stranger in this neck of the woods, Maxim.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Uh huh.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: But even where you come from, there's men who know
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: what a silver bullet means.
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: A silver Yeah, let me see that thing again.
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: It's silver, all right. And the man who gave it
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: to me, he called his horse silver. That's proof enough
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: even without the bullet, Maxim. The fellow that saved you
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: from bushwhack was sure enough. The lone range, Well, what's
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: he taking a hand in this game for? Why should
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: he reckon? For the same reason he gave you. He
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: said he didn't want to see no range war in me.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: That's what he said.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: Thanks to him, maybe there won't be any trouble, sir,
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: might just be that we can settle this whole affair
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: without a speck of trouble.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: I don't see.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: When the mask man rode off, he said he'd see
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you again, didn't he? Sure?
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: And you can bet your bottom dollary will it and
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: he'll want to see me, old man James, I reckon
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: got cheapherd in old coyote.
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: I've gone it curdly. You're talking in secs.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Sure you bet. I listen.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: You get out and find Bert Crowder. Tell him I
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: want to see him right away. Yeah, but what about
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: any explaining.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: To be done? I'll do it later. I'll go on
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: and send Crowder in here.
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: You've been top hand around here for quite a spell. Crowder, Yeah, sure,
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: maybe I should say top gun hand.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: You afraid of your job? Huh? Why? No, of course not.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And how come you tried to ambush Jeff Maxon on
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the trail of to day? What so? What kind of local?
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: There was only one man in the country besides myself,
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: knew that Maxin was headed this way.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: That was you, Crowder.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: You wasn't sure whether I was taking Maxon on as
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: a hired hand or boss gunslinger, so you figured not
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: to take chances on losing your job.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Eh.
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: I listened here, mist Godley, you don't blame well.
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: I would know that the man who saved Maxon's life
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: wore a black mask and rode a white horse named Silver.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What's more, I happen to know that he took
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the bushwhacker's rifle away from him. Now you show me
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: your rifle. I'll take your word for it. You didn't
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: try to ambush Jeff Maxon. I lost my rifle two
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: or three days ago. I forget just where, all right,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: you lost it? You forget where I remember this fella.
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: If Jeff Maxon never finds out who tried to cut
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: down on him from ambush, but I Reckon Maxon is
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: a heap faster.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: With a six gun than you are. Yeah, yeah, I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: guess he won't find out unless I tell him. I won't.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: Now, I get a job for you to do, of course,
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: I mean the night right now. Don't you usually earn
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: your money around here atnight? Go on, get saddled up
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: and come back.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Hurry up, sure, right away.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: By the lone ranger waiting along the trail a few
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: miles from the Tonnom and Roll recognized the approaching hook
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: beach that came from the direction of town.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: A moment later, Hi, Hi here, honey, have any luck?
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: Toddle Ah, Hello the tiger shoot from ambush him worked
• 11:45
  Speaker 11: for Cartley.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: At Box j Ranch or Krtley.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: But that doesn't make sense. I should curtly send him
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: for a gunman like Jeff Maxim, then try to have
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: him shot from ambush.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I think, Wait a minute, did you learn who the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: bushwhacker was? Ah?
• 12:00
  Speaker 11: Him named Burt Crowder? Me trailing back to Monroe, hind
• 12:04
  Speaker 11: him gunslinger for Cutley? What else a Crowder feller go
• 12:08
  Speaker 11: to livery in Monroe, change horses, then go out to ranch.
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: Kurty's been trying to buy the James ranch for several years.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: Evidently he decided that it can't be bought. They're trying
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: to force old man James to pull out. Come on, Puddo,
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: we go see cattle feller. No, I'm fairly sure of
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: what he intends to do. Right now, I'm anxious to
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: call on mister James.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: Silver Count.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Old Bill James been talking to the half dozen men
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: gathered in the ranch house for nearly a half hour.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: The men were uncomfortable, and Old Bill didn't like what
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: he had to tell them.
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: Uh, you fellows better suit your own selves. And me
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: asking now he wanted to stay with me and afford
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: to pay nothing of the regular wages. All right, Hold
• 13:05
  Speaker 10: on a minute. The man has to dodge bullets for
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: a living. You ought to get paid accordingly. As I
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: can understand, every last man in John Cottley's place is
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: drawn fighting wages, and I reckon, they're just raring to
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: start talking, that's all. I left him out, tried to
• 13:23
  Speaker 10: keep walking while we was talking.
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: Come on, what's up, Slim? But what's happened? We heard
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: a shot fellow.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Wearing a black mask.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: This is for you, Bill Fell, I said, you better
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: take some good advice.
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: Hey, you men, get Slim into the bunk house, a
• 13:48
  Speaker 10: quick body. You saddled up and cut the priest Munroe,
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: get the doctor.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: What's that slam to give you?
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: Bill's some message? The message wrapped around a silver bullet.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Huh, but what's the mess?
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: He said?
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it says let it clear out. Well, you've got
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: a chance. Don't let your men get killed off because
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: of your stubbornness. All the current and this note it's
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: signed by the loan ranger I've always heard.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: He was all right.
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: I thought, it just goes to prove. And when a
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: fellow wants something that's better. John Cottley wants his ranch
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: and he's got the money to spend, he usually gets
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: what he wants necessarily.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: See that's a fellow, the one that shot Slim dearly.
• 14:31
  Speaker 10: Oh I know mass Well, mister, what brings you back here?
• 14:36
  Speaker 10: Was you supposed to wait for an answer to this message?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Answer what message?
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: We'll give you the answer right now. Maybe after all
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: Cottley can force me out, But before I go, I'm
• 14:47
  Speaker 10: going to have the satisfaction of something with you for
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: shooting Slim. Get him, boy, I don't understand, and we'll
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: explain mister Loane Ranger same way you explain things to
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: Slam all right, take his une and then when yanked
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: that mask off his face.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please remit us
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: to pause for just a few moments now to continue
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: our story. At the Box, Jay Ranch, John Cartley laughed
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: partly as he spoke to several of his higher gun,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: including the new man Jeff McK.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: I hate to say it, boys, but it looks like
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: you're not even going to have a chance to earn
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: your way to Don't you worry. You'll get paid all right,
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: as far as that goes only well the way things
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: have worked out, I wouldn't be surprised if old man
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: James comes trotting over here in the morning, eager and
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: anxious to sell out at any price.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: You figure Curdly.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Well, you see, oh, Bill James is known for a
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: long time, and I could put on more pressure than
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: he could stand.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: See, and lately I've been doing just that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: And this evening he's going to get a message from
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: a fellow that's known to always finish everything he starts.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, he's going to get a message from the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Lone Ranger.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: Yes, a real genuine message wrapped around a genuine silver bullet.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: And that message tells him he'd better clear out if
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: he knows what's good for him.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Hold up there, how come you know all this?
• 17:31

  Speaker 2: smart man. Maxon.
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: I know it because I sent him the message. Sure, Sure,
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: I even used the same silver bullet the mask man
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: gave you to give me.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's come over you, Maxon.
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: Curtly, I've run across a heap of rats and coyotes
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: and rattlesnakes in my time. One of them would look
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: lily white alongside of you.
• 18:02
  Speaker 10: Are you?
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: You?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I had a gun you down like a dog.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: But you won't.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: You won't, mister Cutley, because you ain't mad enough to
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: try it. What do you think you're going honey, your business, mister,
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: but I'll be back if you won't like it when
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: I get here.
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: Lefty Baits, surely I'll pay five hundred dollars to the
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: one who drops Jeff Maxim before he gets to that door.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I'll get him.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: Well, anybody else want to try for first prize and
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: I'll be getting along.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Jans, Yes, are your fools?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you get him?
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: Party? You see what happened to Baits and Shorty, don't you?
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: They tried to stab him, didn't he.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Toto, waiting in the shadows of the horses, had no
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: way of knowing that his friend, the mask Man, had
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: walked into a trap. However, if his friend did not
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: return within a reasonable time, the star Wards Indian knew
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: he must find out why. Meanwhile, inside the James ranch house,
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: the mask Man stood with his hands raised as the
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: heavy guns were yank from his holsters.
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: All right, give me his guns, get that mask off
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: his face.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Sure you bet.
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: Wait a minute, they gave you to Tuck meted James.
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: Do you think that if I had really shot Slim Gaily,
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: I would have waited around to be captured by your men.
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: He was probably hanging around hoping to get a shot
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: at somebody else, maybe me, But she was clumsy and
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: you got caught. Now you peel off that mask before
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: we thrown hog tie and give you what's for now.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: What it's like that the buzzers are trying to make
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: a night of the bill. Got this one crowled outside
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the house.
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: Well, what's your story?
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: Mister?
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: I suppose you ain't never seen John Coughley in your life? Neither, Eh,
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: that's what the mask man says. I've seen Cotley. Matter
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: of fact, they just left his place not more than
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: an hour ago. You admit it, and you're gonna pay
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: for this night's work, both of you. I'm prowling around
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: shooting up my man.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Ah. Whatever you're figuring to do, these buzzles, you better
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: get at it. What do you mean, slim just casting
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: his chips? He's dead? All right?
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: You men, get your ropes. I reckon, We know prain
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: enough what comes next? Take these two vorements out right now, stream.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: And shooting.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Come.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: I'll be blamed if I will give him come from me.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Shoot I get him now, all right.
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: She ain't getting away with this.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Mister James. You don't mind. I still want to talk
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: Say you're saying get out and tell Cottley I'm coming
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: after his heart.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: If I have to come alone, I don't think you'll
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: have to ride along. Hell.
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: Look, doesn't Cartly want you out of here mainly because
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: you raise sheep, of.
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: Course, A raised sheep and scrub land. It ain't fit
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: for nothing else that I raised horses and cattle too,
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: just as many as John Cottley does.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: And he had other reasons for wanting you out of here.
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: He wants my place, wants to drive me out. That's
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: the only reason you thrown in with that rattlesnake. I
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: always thought the Lone Ranger was.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: On the level. I always thought that partner.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I reckon.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: This fella is the lone Ranger, all right, but it's
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: for him thrown in with John Cartley.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: You're dead wrong, oh I ah?
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Well, I suppose he didn't shoot slim Gaily. I suppose
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: he didn't bring the message from Cottley telling me to
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: clear out. If I know what was good for me,
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: I suppose he's all wrong.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: Cartly knew the Lone Ranger was close by, and he
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: forged that message you got. He figured the master Man
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: would call on you and wanted you to kill him
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: when he did.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: How could you approve what you're saying?
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: You can improve it yourself, Bill, Yeah, up to now,
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: any trouble between you and Kirkly was an argument over
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: a range land.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Now the man has been.
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: Murdered, regardless of who pulled the trigger, John Kirkley is
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: responsible all right. Now the time for a showdown. How
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: many of you men are ready for it? How many
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: want to.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: Ride to the box?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: James?
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: How?
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: Hold on? How do we know this ain't all a trap?
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: You don't know, mister James.
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: Maybe Cottleing his whole gun crew was waiting for us
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: to show up.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's a chance you'll have to take.
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: I ain't hankeered to see no more of my men
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: get killed off.
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: Cartney's responsible for the killing of one of your men already.
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: That means the beginning of an open range war. He
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: won't stop until he's driven from the valley.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: What am I supposed to do about it?
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: Carry the fight to him before he has a chance
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: to kill off your men from ambus That maximum taught
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: wh and me go first, you and your men following
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: about five minutes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: What's the point in that?
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: Give us a chance to get to Cartley's place. Slip
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: up to the rear of the house. Then you and
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: your men can create enough commotion when you arrive to
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: give us a chance to get inside the place.
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah, maybe give you a chance to tell Cartley we're
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: coming so you can get ready. Pass.
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: You're acting like a scared old woman. Every man in
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: this room is eager to fight your battle, except you.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I scared old woman man.
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: Yes, come on, Maxim time. James would rather remain here,
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: that's his business. Let's go hello.
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: Uh huh, adios a bunch of scared rabbits. You, mister James,
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: you better go sit down and write another letter to
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: the Cattleman's Association.
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: What's that you say?
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Leaving their horses a safe distance away from the box,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Jay arranger, Toddo and Jeff Maxon crawls slowly through the
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: darkness to the rear of.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: The Cartly ranch house. Suddenly, the Indians stopped and.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: Whispered, Simpie's walk around the house.
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: Fuck yeah, and Kurt's taking no chances. A dozen gun
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: slingers in that house. We haven't got a chance to
• 25:04
  Speaker 12: take them.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Not unless Bill James and his men show up.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: James that old woman.
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: I'd rather let someone else do his fighting for it.
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: Wait, be quiet now, Yeah, let's try to get a
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: little closer, just in case James's men.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Do show up. Let's be ready to make a dish
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: for the rear of the house.
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: Too bad, the old Kadi didn't trust none of us
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: enough to come.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: Wait, listen, what isn't.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: I don't hear nothing?
• 25:37
  Speaker 13: Quiet does? Wait a moment, I hear it? Horses, Bill James, man, right,

• 26:00
  Speaker 13: Get inside.

  Speaker 5: front windows, trying blamely to shoot successfully for horsemen racing
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: past the hall.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, let's Bill James. This bunch of rights. What the
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: places they're trying to do, racing back and forth like

• 26:57
  Speaker 8: What's that one of Bill james men was shot and
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: killed to night, Cartley, a man on your payroll. You'll
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: have a fine time proving it. I can prove it
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: all right, because he's the same man who tried to
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: ambush Jeff Maxim this morning.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: There he is for Carder.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Better hold fast, crowd. I'd sure like to put a
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: slug in you.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I'll take this to the law.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: You can't wait long.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Enough to take it to the law.
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: The law is right here in the person of Jeff Maxim,
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: the man you thought you were hiring for another gun
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: slingers about.

  Speaker 9: I'm offering me a job at pretty fancy wages, just
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: so as i'd be sure to fetch along my six guns.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: I've still got that letter, Cartley. But what about the law?
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Where's that coming in?
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: About the same time, the Cattleman's Association got a letter
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: from you, mister James, asking for help.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: They offered me the job and I took it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: But all the time.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: He was a raige detective from the Association.
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but I'd have been a dead one the minute
