- 0:14Speaker 1: I saw.
- 0:20Speaker 2: A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud
- 0:22Speaker 2: of dust, and a hearty hyo Silver, the Lone Ranger.
- 0:59Speaker 2: At when the great wave of emigrations swept into the
- 2:10Speaker 2: West after the Civil War, many of the wagon trains
- 2:13Speaker 2: were attacked and destroyed by hostile Indians, and many more
- 2:16Speaker 2: might never have reached their destination if it had not
- 2:19Speaker 2: been for the masked rider of the Plains astride his
- 2:22Speaker 2: great horse Silver.
- 2:23Speaker 3: He acted as.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Guid and guardian for the pioneers and blazed the trail
- 2:27Speaker 2: towards the new Frontier. Return with us now those thrilling
- 2:30Speaker 2: days of yesteryear, when adventure lay at the end of
- 2:33Speaker 2: every trail. The Lone Ranger rides again.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Calm, Hilver, you passing to run the hill country. We're
- 2:41Speaker 1: just to hurry high, Silver, haway.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Two wagons flanked by a small body of horsemen were
- 2:57Speaker 2: laboriously making their way over the rough trail to Fort Stephen.
- 3:04Speaker 2: On either side of the trail stretched the wild, broken
- 3:06Speaker 2: boulders drue in wilderness that made up the Pipe Stone Hills.
- 3:10Speaker 2: The air was still, the sun warm, the silence undisturbed
- 3:13Speaker 2: except for the wagons and their escort. But suddenly without warning.
- 3:17Speaker 2: There rose high savy yells, the thunder of hoops, in
- 3:20Speaker 2: the sharp vibration of gunfire, and in the space of
- 3:22Speaker 2: seconds the hills were alive with painted.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Men wearing feathered headbands.
- 3:25Speaker 4: It's a patching hope. We have gun waiting walk here
- 3:29Speaker 4: us have the redskins by them?
- 3:31Speaker 5: Have it, poor lad tompos of couple of the wagons
- 3:33Speaker 5: to our, won't we do?
- 3:35Speaker 4: That's only one thing you do quite for your lives.
- 3:37Speaker 4: You are wife.
- 3:43Speaker 2: The attackers, however, not to be beaten off, swarmed into
- 3:46Speaker 2: the two wagons and redoubled the intensity of their fire.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Whites on horseback held firm for a while, but finally
- 3:51Speaker 2: wavered fell back, denobate the command of their leader.
- 3:54Speaker 6: Hie for boys, clear up. The wagon's gone. We can't
- 3:57Speaker 6: another but try and save our own heights. Come on, fellow,
- 3:59Speaker 6: let's go.
- 4:08Speaker 2: It was a week later that a masked figure matters
- 4:10Speaker 2: upon a splendid white stallion, guided his horse across the
- 4:13Speaker 2: open plains toward the distant town of Lake Falls. Beside
- 4:17Speaker 2: him rode an Indian, holding himself erect in the saddle
- 4:19Speaker 2: of his powerful pet horse. There they are tutta, see,
- 4:23Speaker 2: they just topping that rise ahead of us. Huh, We've
- 4:26Speaker 2: catched up to them in plenty of time. M.
- 4:28Speaker 3: What we do.
- 4:29Speaker 2: We've got to see that they don't meet the fate
- 4:31Speaker 2: of that party. They're tried to get through the hills
- 4:33Speaker 2: to Fort Stevens last week. Oh, after what you've told me,
- 4:36Speaker 2: I'm afraid the danger is worse than I had thought.
- 4:38Speaker 3: No, plenty danger.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Everyone knows Geronimo's braves. They're trying to keep whites out
- 4:43Speaker 2: of the hills. That's bad enough in itself, but the
- 4:46Speaker 2: outlaws are using the apaches to cover.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Their own raids, and the dangerous double that. Ray.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Are you sure apaches didn't attack those wagons a week ago?
- 4:54Speaker 3: Uh? Under talk engine him say Apache not do it.
- 4:58Speaker 3: I'm not surprised.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Uh.
- 5:00Speaker 3: It fits in with some information I learned.
- 5:02Speaker 6: Mm.
- 5:03Speaker 2: What that you remember Baldy Goman. Uh, Well, he's gotten
- 5:07Speaker 2: together some men and has made his headquarters in Lake Falls.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Troops stationed there can't spare the men or time to
- 5:13Speaker 2: escort all the parties that wished to cross the hills.
- 5:16Speaker 2: So bald and his men had been hiring out his
- 5:18Speaker 2: guards to anyone with a price to pay them. M.
- 5:20Speaker 2: He not know that it was a good idea. An
- 5:23Speaker 2: organization like that could do a lot of good. No
- 5:25Speaker 2: one could object to paying men who risked their lives
- 5:28Speaker 2: to offer protection.
- 5:29Speaker 6: Huh.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I wouldn't have questioned it, but I hadn't known something
- 5:32Speaker 2: of Baldy's past before they came to this section. Him
- 5:35Speaker 2: heap tad color. The people up north seemed to think so,
- 5:38Speaker 2: and the law couldn't touch him. They took matters in
- 5:40Speaker 2: their own hands and ran them out. Ah, it was
- 5:43Speaker 2: Baldy's group that escorted the wagons that were destroyed.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Last week, and that heaped strange. I don't know.
- 5:49Speaker 2: The fact remains that one of the settler survived and
- 5:51Speaker 2: reported that bowl he put up quite a fight.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Until he was forced to ride off.
- 5:55Speaker 2: The survivors seemed convinced that none of his men were
- 5:57Speaker 2: to be blamed for the tragedy. Oh, I'd like to
- 6:00Speaker 2: give Baly the benefit of the doubts, but I don't
- 6:03Speaker 2: know what you think.
- 6:05Speaker 3: There are two suspicious facts.
- 6:07Speaker 2: One, several parties escorted by his bend have been attacked twice.
- 6:11Speaker 2: The attacks resulted in what were practically massacres. Yet as
- 6:15Speaker 2: far as I can learn, Baldy has yet to lose
- 6:17Speaker 2: a man. Oh, of course, many of the parties as
- 6:20Speaker 2: men have escorted. I reached Fort Stephens safely. I've learned
- 6:24Speaker 2: a few of them possessed much money. However, those that
- 6:27Speaker 2: were attacked did why other fella not asked question? Why
- 6:31Speaker 2: should they suspect him? I wouldn't have myself if I
- 6:33Speaker 2: hadn't heard of him in the north.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Uh.
- 6:35Speaker 2: These people ahead of us, I happen to know, are
- 6:37Speaker 2: comparatively wealthy. Elige Cook, his married sister and his brother
- 6:41Speaker 2: in law, Matt Lowell intend to settle beyond Fort Stevens
- 6:44Speaker 2: by Mexican cattle and start ranching eh wagon. Now that
- 6:48Speaker 2: we're getting close, you remember our old campus out of town,
- 6:52Speaker 2: just below Copper Ridge. Huh, you'd better ride ahead and
- 6:54Speaker 2: circle these people and wait.
- 6:55Speaker 3: For me there.
- 6:57Speaker 2: But the feeling against Indians what it is? They might
- 6:59Speaker 2: suspect my purpose that we were seeing together.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Mean right to camp. Wait good, I won't be long.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Get him up, Scarl, get him up.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Said rold Fellow.
- 7:08Speaker 2: I can't tell these people what I suspect about Bolly,
- 7:11Speaker 2: because I have no proof. But I think I can
- 7:13Speaker 2: persuade them not to hire him. Come on, old boy,
- 7:17Speaker 2: come on, Silver, come on, fellow.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Hold on man, come on silver, Hello ahead, hots.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I'm not an outlaw and watch a mask for word
- 7:36Speaker 2: for reasons of my own. But I'm merely give you
- 7:39Speaker 2: some advice and some news.
- 7:40Speaker 5: I think will help you, news about the engines.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Not exactly.
- 7:43Speaker 7: I don't like this. I think you'd better get on
- 7:45Speaker 7: your ways. Stranger. I don't reckon, we need no mask,
- 7:47Speaker 7: combrays advice.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I still convinced timon out along.
- 7:50Speaker 4: You didn't think we just take your say so about it?
- 7:52Speaker 4: Did you?
- 7:53Speaker 3: And I'll prove I'm not.
- 7:56Speaker 7: Don't shoot, stranger, don't shoot.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I have you covered. You're carrying several thousand dollars with him.
- 8:02Speaker 2: If I were not low, i'd take that money. But
- 8:04Speaker 2: I'm not going to. You can see for yourself. I'll
- 8:07Speaker 2: host to my guns again there live as you can
- 8:11Speaker 2: cover me with that shotgun next to you.
- 8:13Speaker 3: If you wish, you ain't taking the cash. I've told
- 8:16Speaker 3: you I'm not Matt a.
- 8:17Speaker 4: Crook would have helped himself to everything we got.
- 8:19Speaker 7: I reckon. That's so all right, mister.
- 8:21Speaker 6: That was the right convincing argument you put up, as
- 8:24Speaker 6: far as I'm concerned.
- 8:25Speaker 7: Jane the krook, what's the idea of the mask.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Then I'll have to discuss that.
- 8:29Speaker 4: We didn't mean to be over curious. You should you
- 8:31Speaker 4: had some news for.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Some news and some advice. What news tomorrow?
- 8:35Speaker 2: Detachment of soldiers is taking a wagon load of ammunition
- 8:38Speaker 2: through the hills to Fort Stevens.
- 8:39Speaker 7: Yeah, how does that concern us?
- 8:41Speaker 3: You can make Lake Falls before nightfall.
- 8:43Speaker 2: I'm sure if you look up Major Hyde when you
- 8:45Speaker 2: get there, he'll give you permission to accompany the soldiers.
- 8:48Speaker 3: That should mean your safe passage to the force.
- 8:50Speaker 4: That'd be fine.
- 8:51Speaker 6: It'd be fine if we needed the soldiers. But I've
- 8:54Speaker 6: made different arrangements.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Yes, uh huh.
- 8:56Speaker 6: Of course, I didn't have no way of knowing that'd
- 8:58Speaker 6: be soldiers making the trip. So I sort of fixed
- 9:00Speaker 6: it up with that fellow bald A Gorman to take
- 9:02Speaker 6: us in the escort.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Has anything been definitely settled? Have you paid him yet? Well?
- 9:06Speaker 7: No, not exactly, but just sort of agreed between us.
- 9:09Speaker 3: That's all. In that case, I'd advise you to go
- 9:11Speaker 3: with the soldiers instead.
- 9:12Speaker 7: What's the difference.
- 9:13Speaker 3: It would save your money for one thing.
- 9:15Speaker 4: Bald he wasn't going to charge his mind.
- 9:16Speaker 2: The most important reason is that the apaches seldom attack soldiers.
- 9:20Speaker 2: They prefer to attack civilians.
- 9:22Speaker 7: Yeah, but after what I promised, bald Yeah, I have your.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Wife to consider math, and you owe baldly nothing.
- 9:27Speaker 6: No, but what the mask man's got the right of it, Matt,
- 9:30Speaker 6: you think so large? I think it's just plain sins.
- 9:33Speaker 6: Come to look at it, that trail to the fourth
- 9:35Speaker 6: through the heels is pro dangerous. We'd be sort of
- 9:38Speaker 6: foolish not to go along with soldiers if we.
- 9:40Speaker 7: Got the chance.
- 9:41Speaker 6: I think it'd be wisest. Honey.
- 9:43Speaker 7: Hmm. You figure the major'd be agreeable, mister.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Of course, he'd be glad to furnish US coach for
- 9:48Speaker 2: everyone traveling that route if you had the men. In
- 9:50Speaker 2: this case, he's sending troopers anyhow, and I reckon that's
- 9:53Speaker 2: what we better do. I'm glad you made that decision.
- 9:56Speaker 2: We may meet again.
- 9:57Speaker 7: But wait, no use trying to hold back that.
- 10:00Speaker 3: I guess.
- 10:01Speaker 7: Well, let's be getting into town. Get up there, your credits.
- 10:04Speaker 4: Get along with you.
- 10:05Speaker 3: You are.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Arriving in Lake Falls late in the afternoon. Matt followed
- 10:19Speaker 2: the Lone Ranger's advice, leaving his wife and brother in
- 10:23Speaker 2: law to watch the wagon. He sought out Major Hide.
- 10:26Speaker 2: He found the officer in conversation with a group of
- 10:28Speaker 2: men in front of the post office and led him
- 10:30Speaker 2: to one side, where he stated his request.
- 10:33Speaker 6: Of course, Major, if it ain't convenient, why we can
- 10:35Speaker 6: make other arrangements, nothing of the kind, Then it's all
- 10:37Speaker 6: right with you. I'm returning to the barracks in just
- 10:40Speaker 6: a few minutes. Lieutenant Don will be in command the
- 10:43Speaker 6: detail for the port. I'll explain the circumstances to him
- 10:46Speaker 6: and gave orders. If you're to be picked up when
- 10:48Speaker 6: he's prepared to leave, My golly, that'll be swelled. Details
- 10:51Speaker 6: start quite early anytime. It will be all right with
- 10:53Speaker 6: us very well. You understand, of course, the doing the escort,
- 10:57Speaker 6: he will be expected to follow Lieutenant Don's orders. Sure,
- 11:00Speaker 6: that's for your own protection. I doubt that there'll be trouble,
- 11:04Speaker 6: but if there is, the lieutenant must have the authority
- 11:07Speaker 6: to deal with it in his own way. Shucks had
- 11:09Speaker 6: will suit us just fine. You can tell a lieutenant
- 11:12Speaker 6: he won't have no trouble with us. The same, Major,
- 11:16Speaker 6: Just how bad of them? A patch's acting up now?
- 11:19Speaker 6: As bad as you say they're a peskin Nusian's done
- 11:21Speaker 6: plenty of killing. Huh yes, and he'll continue to do
- 11:24Speaker 6: so as long as Geronimo's at large.
- 11:27Speaker 7: Well, you boys will get him one of these days.
- 11:29Speaker 3: And we're trying.
- 11:30Speaker 6: And by the way, where's the wagon Just outside town,
- 11:33Speaker 6: right beside the trail as you head for the hills.
- 11:35Speaker 6: There ain't no decent place in town to stay overnight,
- 11:37Speaker 6: so we're making camp there and the detail will meet
- 11:41Speaker 6: you there. You can expect them shortly after dawn.
- 11:44Speaker 3: You'll be ready.
- 11:45Speaker 6: Well you excuse me, I'll be returning to the barracks.
- 11:48Speaker 6: Good luck, you'll bet and thanks to heat.
- 11:51Speaker 3: That's quite all right. You missed the Lowell huh.
- 11:54Speaker 6: Oh, howdy, Yeah, that's my handle, low Matt Lowell. Her
- 11:58Speaker 6: thoughts you was?
- 12:00Speaker 2: The boss seen you over here and asked me to
- 12:01Speaker 2: ask you if you wanted to step over to his
- 12:03Speaker 2: office now and fix everything up for your escort?
- 12:05Speaker 7: Uh escort? Ooh, you're one of ball to Gorman's men.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Is that it? It's right you're coming.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Gosh, I'm sorry, but if you're busy now, the boss
- 12:14Speaker 2: will be around all evening.
- 12:16Speaker 3: Mm.
- 12:17Speaker 7: That ain't just what I meant.
- 12:19Speaker 3: What do you mean? Well?
- 12:20Speaker 7: The fact is you see I uh, I kind of
- 12:22Speaker 7: got things fixed up with the soldier.
- 12:24Speaker 3: You mean you ain't planning the hires.
- 12:26Speaker 6: Yeah, well, there wasn't no set agreement. Backing down in
- 12:29Speaker 6: a bargain, ain't she? I said there was nothing set
- 12:31Speaker 6: for sure?
- 12:32Speaker 3: He seemed to figure there was.
- 12:34Speaker 2: I don't know about this. They kind of hate to
- 12:36Speaker 2: go back and tell him. Maybe he won't take it
- 12:37Speaker 2: so good.
- 12:38Speaker 7: Gosh, I'm downright sorry if I put him out here.
- 12:40Speaker 3: He ain't changing your mind any huh.
- 12:42Speaker 7: No, not as long as the soldiers are willing.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Well, that's your tough luck. I guess, mister. Ain't nothing
- 12:47Speaker 2: for me to worry about. Afternoon.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Hey, what was that you said? I just said it
- 12:52Speaker 3: was your tough luck. Tough luck, That's what I said.
- 12:55Speaker 2: And Baldy makes a bargain he expects to stick to it.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Anybody backing out, I'm was likely'll find he's gut ways
- 13:01Speaker 2: and making them.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Sorry.
- 13:02Speaker 7: Hey, look here, you can't say I didn't tell you.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Gus, a member of All the Gorman's Band who had
- 13:16Speaker 2: spoken to Matt Lowell, hastened back to the office of
- 13:18Speaker 2: his employer to report Matt's change of plan, and.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Of course, the fool thatg HA backed out.
- 13:27Speaker 5: Yeah, he's made plans of trouble with the soldiers tomorrow
- 13:29Speaker 5: a least ways he says he has.
- 13:30Speaker 3: But you just give me the word and I'll go
- 13:32Speaker 3: back and change.
- 13:33Speaker 4: His mind for him.
- 13:34Speaker 3: He will not.
- 13:34Speaker 5: But you said he was tearing at least ten thousand dollars.
- 13:36Speaker 3: You want us to lose out on.
- 13:37Speaker 5: All that cash?
- 13:38Speaker 3: That's what was you figuring to do. Well, a gun
- 13:41Speaker 3: whipping wouldn't hurt none.
- 13:42Speaker 6: And what had happened, nurse when the soldiers found out
- 13:44Speaker 6: about it, and you got the sense to see that
- 13:46Speaker 6: the only way we can get buyer is to keep
- 13:48Speaker 6: folks from suspicion in us. Last that all bolt up
- 13:50Speaker 6: on you and me started out to tell me what
- 13:53Speaker 6: to do, Well, don't do it. I'm the boss here.
- 13:56Speaker 6: I'll do the thinking, give the orders, and take care
- 13:58Speaker 6: of what talking has to be done. Unless the rest
- 14:01Speaker 6: of you have to say, the better off will be
- 14:03Speaker 6: trigger he bo. They're gonna get in touch tonight with
- 14:06Speaker 6: the rest of the boys. Tell them to get their
- 14:08Speaker 6: engine fictions ready to you, just like we plan.
- 14:10Speaker 3: Sure, I still plan on having them attach just.
- 14:12Speaker 6: As if we was along sounded that way, didn't But
- 14:14Speaker 6: you can't the soldiers will be there.
- 14:16Speaker 5: The boys can't get away with no raids on trooper.
- 14:18Speaker 6: They won't be more than a dozen. But even the
- 14:20Speaker 6: soldiers ain't gonna get far trying to keep us from
- 14:23Speaker 6: the cash if they ain't got bullets to fire at us?
- 14:25Speaker 3: Are they?
- 14:26Speaker 2: If they ain't got bullets, Gosh, bully, they're taking the
- 14:28Speaker 2: whole wagon load along.
- 14:30Speaker 6: Sure right now that wagon is all loaded and ready
- 14:33Speaker 6: to go down to the barn.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Got some kind of a scheme, ever, see me? When
- 14:37Speaker 3: I didn't what is it?
- 14:38Speaker 7: Shucks?
- 14:39Speaker 6: When I heard Matt lowell Elige was getting here today,
- 14:41Speaker 6: I figured right off that they'd be likely to go
- 14:44Speaker 6: with the soldiers instead.
- 14:45Speaker 3: Of hiring us.
- 14:45Speaker 4: Yeah, so I thought up a plan, you.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Mind telling us both? Sure, why not?
- 14:52Speaker 7: I recollect that soldier.
- 14:53Speaker 3: Owes me all that cash? Come?
- 14:56Speaker 6: And his name is uh huh, Well he's on guard, dude,
- 14:59Speaker 6: tonight down with that wagon load of ammunition? Mean them
- 15:02Speaker 6: meaning that Krummit will do as I say, and meaning
- 15:05Speaker 6: that when them soldier boys finds themselves in a tough
- 15:08Speaker 6: spot with a certain bunch of apaches up on the hills,
- 15:11Speaker 6: maybe they won't have quite so much ammunition for a
- 15:13Speaker 6: fighting as they figured on. Nope, I got a notion
- 15:17Speaker 6: them soldiers is headed for a great, big surprise.
- 15:24Speaker 2: The curtain falls on the first act of our lone
- 15:27Speaker 2: range of drama. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit
- 15:30Speaker 2: us to pause for just a few.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Moments now to continue our story.
- 15:56Speaker 2: It was late afternoon when Baldi outlined his plans to
- 15:58Speaker 2: Guss and now you the Lord, Ranger and Tonto were
- 16:01Speaker 2: in their camp below Copper Ridge, just a few miles
- 16:04Speaker 2: from town. Although I wonder if Matt and his wife
- 16:07Speaker 2: and Lije cook a safe m im all right? Them
- 16:11Speaker 2: right with soldier, but not until tomorrow.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Not right. In the meantime, If our suspicions of Boldie
- 16:16Speaker 3: are correct, he may act. And what you think?
- 16:18Speaker 2: Those people are carrying a lot of money with him,
- 16:21Speaker 2: too much for traveling this kind of country.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Not right.
- 16:24Speaker 2: They camped outside town too. It wouldn't be difficult to
- 16:27Speaker 2: steal that cash, you think, Baldy do it? Frankly, I don't.
- 16:31Speaker 2: He's got a good thing here. He'd be foolish to
- 16:33Speaker 2: risk anything near town. He's as clever as he's supposed
- 16:36Speaker 2: to be. Nothing will ever be stolen by his gang
- 16:39Speaker 2: except where apaches can be blamed. H On the other hand,
- 16:42Speaker 2: the cash lowland cooker carrying would be quite a temptation,
- 16:46Speaker 2: especially a BOWLDI should have reason to think that his
- 16:49Speaker 2: game couldn't continue much longer. He might take the risk
- 16:52Speaker 2: for a quick clean up and escape.
- 16:54Speaker 3: You gunt plan.
- 16:56Speaker 2: I think we should keep our eye on both parties.
- 16:59Speaker 2: I could watch over camp until I was sure his
- 17:01Speaker 2: group was safely with the soldiers. What conto do you
- 17:04Speaker 2: can entertain and keep track of baldly do that, and

- 20:56Speaker 6: gang users, what do you suppose? And then and then
- 20:59Speaker 6: you're gonna hold him there after this job is over.
- 21:02Speaker 6: We're using for bait to trap that mass man. If
- 21:04Speaker 6: we can do that, we'll get rid of both of
- 21:06Speaker 6: what if the loan range are ain't trapped? And all
- 21:08Speaker 6: I can say is we better scatter and the father
- 21:11Speaker 6: we get, the safer will be because if the lone
- 21:13Speaker 6: Rangeer ever catches on to what we've been doing, he'll
- 21:16Speaker 6: be after us, and you can bet your bottom dollar
- 21:18Speaker 6: he won't stop. But he's rounded us up, every last one.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Matt, his wife, and Lige werew up at dawn the
- 21:33Speaker 2: following morning, prepared to start on the journey through the
- 21:35Speaker 2: hills of the soldiers. They breakfasted, arranged all their belongings,
- 21:39Speaker 2: and settled down to wait. But it was only a
- 21:41Speaker 2: moment later that Lige pointed down the trail.
- 21:44Speaker 4: There's a soldier's mat.
- 21:45Speaker 3: They coming.
- 21:46Speaker 6: Oh, by golly, there they are, Lige, hand me them rings.
- 21:49Speaker 6: We ain't gonna hold them up for a second. Here
- 21:52Speaker 6: my sake, I'm glad it's a soldier that's gonna see
- 21:54Speaker 6: us through them hills.
- 21:55Speaker 7: Mac, This is real luck, you bit it is, Honey.
- 21:58Speaker 6: Hi there you'll tell don't Oh, that's me on ahead
- 22:03Speaker 6: of that army wagon. Hold case, we said, right, lie's route.
- 22:07Speaker 6: We're on our way to Blazer with Geronimo, and here's hope.
- 22:10Speaker 6: We'll soon be stalking our finest range in the whole West.
- 22:13Speaker 4: Get up there, Get along, your pills, Get along.
- 22:28Speaker 2: The cavalcade, consisting of two wagons and an escort of
- 22:31Speaker 2: a dozen troopers, began the ascent to the lesser foothills
- 22:34Speaker 2: into the Pipestone Hills themselves. The pioneers and the soldiers
- 22:39Speaker 2: made good time their first day, and when they camped
- 22:41Speaker 2: that night, they were near the spot where the wagon
- 22:43Speaker 2: train had been ambushed a week before.
- 22:45Speaker 7: Well here we are, honey, a good part of the
- 22:48Speaker 7: way already, Matt. It was just a few miles ahead
- 22:52Speaker 7: that them other folks was killed, wasn't it. You ain't worrying,
- 22:54Speaker 7: are you, no?
- 22:56Speaker 3: Honey?
- 22:57Speaker 7: If you are, you needn't.
- 22:58Speaker 6: We got good horses, good fire men, and a whole
- 23:01Speaker 6: wagonful of ammunition.
- 23:03Speaker 7: The best thing that apatches can do is just.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Lay low.
- 23:17Speaker 2: In the morning. At dawn the journey was resumed. It
- 23:20Speaker 2: was noon when they passed the scene of the former attack.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Two half burned wagons revealed the sight, and every man
- 23:26Speaker 2: in the party, as he wrote by, kept a nervous
- 23:28Speaker 2: watch upon the surrounding hills. No sign of hostel savages
- 23:32Speaker 2: was noted, however, and the wagons and escort continued on.
- 23:36Speaker 2: The sun dropped toward the horizon, and the trail became
- 23:39Speaker 2: a place of strange shadows.
- 23:41Speaker 7: How are you feeling, honey? I think you can cook
- 23:43Speaker 7: up something pretty soon for a couple of hungry men.
- 23:45Speaker 7: I guess, huh, what's ailing you? I don't know, not
- 23:50Speaker 7: feeling good.
- 23:52Speaker 6: I don't know how to see it.
- 23:53Speaker 7: You just think I'm a coward, nothing of the kind, Ruth.
- 23:56Speaker 4: If you've got something on your mind at.
- 23:58Speaker 3: All, sure, honey, go ahead.
- 24:01Speaker 4: I just feel that that we won't never reach camp.
- 24:04Speaker 7: Nerves, just nerves, that's all it is. Them and these
- 24:08Speaker 7: dog one shadows of rocks thrown down.
- 24:10Speaker 5: I don't know, Oh, Matt, I just can't shake the
- 24:13Speaker 5: feeling this.
- 24:24Speaker 4: Everybody man, they came fire ride. You're right, this is
- 24:28Speaker 4: a real thing, and we're taking the hands.
- 24:42Speaker 2: After the first sudden burst of firing, however, the attackers
- 24:45Speaker 2: retreated behind the many boarders that lined the trails. The souldiers,
- 24:48Speaker 2: realizing that their one chance of salvation was that this
- 24:51Speaker 2: Lodg's the enemy, made no effort to concern their ammunition.
- 24:54Speaker 4: Firing, will fire the reds came back here my order,

- 26:44Speaker 5: What brought you here?
- 26:44Speaker 3: You'll have to ask the mask man to explain that.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Lieutenant All the Gorman captured Tellow and took him prisoner.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Talo's horse led me to the place where he'd been caught,
- 26:52Speaker 2: and it was simply a matter of trailing tell until
- 26:54Speaker 2: I found him. He told me then about the ammunition
- 26:57Speaker 2: being stolen, and it was clear what was being planned.
- 27:00Speaker 7: You sure saved our lives.
