  Speaker 1: a cloud of dust, and the hardy Hio silver. The
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: lone Ranger at the railroad brought a new prosperity to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the early Western United States. But with the railroad came
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: an army of confidence men who tried to rob the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: pioneers of their property and savings. They found an opponent,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and the masked rider of the Plains, however, who was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: more than a match for them, return with us none

  Speaker 1: In the cafe at tecos, Old, Missouri, Mustang Mag's foreman
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: was for the first time in his life receiving a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: great deal of attention, the kind of attention he had
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: long been convinced she deserved that always been denied. Two
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: strangers to Ald Missouri has struck up an acquaintance at
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the bar, and now all three were seated like old
• 3:08

  Speaker 3: there's folks west of the Mississippi that know your name,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: who couldn't tell you who to sitting in the White

  Speaker 3: House back east in Washington. I've asked folks if they'd
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: heard of the Lone Ranger and they said no.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Then I've asked them about old.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Missouri over the Pacos and they've told me things you've
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: done it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: You've likely forgot yourself soul Missouri.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: That should explain why Cooper and me thought of you.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: First off, after we've been here long enough to see
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: what this county needed was a real fighting man for sheriff.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You will take the office, won't you, Missouri?

  Speaker 3: duty when you've seen it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Just one thing, Missouri, what's your stand on wrestlers and such?
• 4:25

  Speaker 4: Now, if you're just saying this, Missouri, here's pen ink
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: what it tells you how to stand on law and
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: order and says you're willing to serve the people in
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: this position of public trust or put your name to it,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: or folks won't believe a busy man like you would
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: spare the time for the job only.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Missouri. It's fine and dandy. No, no, no,

  Speaker 2: good chaff for that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Although Missouri's new friends Cooper and Dabbitt constantly forecast a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: great majority in favor of Missouri for sheriff, the Old
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Fellow found on his return to Mustang mag Grants if
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: there existed a powerful minority definitely opposed to him. This
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: minority was mustang mag herself your sheriff.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: I'd assume stuff a bag with hay and caley to sheriff.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: For a Lorman, you'd be worth less than a pitchfork
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: to shovel water with, while you're worth her stoven, hanry

  Speaker 6: He's as straight as you are. All that's wrong with
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: him is he's too simple to live.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Nobody could be that simple.

• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Slim, Eh, you're almost the best man I got on
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: the place. But if I didn't savvy, you said that
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: because you didn't know nobody, you'd be through you.
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: You mean you're still thinking he's in your sight. I know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: even after what he's done. Yes, ma'am, with your kind
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: of faith, I tackled Billy the Kid and Jeronim are
• 16:53

  Speaker 5: Man? Told you wouldn't let word get through.
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: But you can trust me, ma'am. I know what to
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: look out for now. Won't be stopped a second time.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Won't be your second time. No, If he don't want
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: me to get an injunction to halt them crooks, he's
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: got his reasons.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Dog Hall and I.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Reckon the Gordons. I just forget this, Slim going back
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: to bunk house. I'm not worrying. I know the Lone
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Rangers on hand, and well, I guess that's all I
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: need to know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, the lone ranger in Tonto had made
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: camp in a secluded spot convenient both to Mustang Mag's
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: ranch house and to the timberland, where Abbott and Cooper
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: were supervising the operations of their crew. Twenty four hours
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: went by, during which time the mask man made himself
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: familiar with the situation. Then he returned to camp and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: gave Toto certain orders. Toto's haddle scouted while he listened.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Then he won't have to hurry Chemi asid it'll take
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: them the better part of a month to complete the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: clearing of that timberland. When it's been clear, the lumber
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: will have to be freighted to the railroad's construction camp.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Not right. They don't get paid until all of it
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: has been delivered. Barker is the agent of the railroad
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: who made the deal. Why him not wait until his
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: court fight is over? Ah, he can't. The railroad needs
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: lumber as quickly as it can get it. Barker has
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to take the chance at Abbot and Cooper's claim will
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: be upheld if it isn't, and of course the railroad
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: will have to come to terms with Mag. Hmm. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: understand Barker is remaining in Peiko's until the timber has
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: all been cut and is actually on the way to
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the construction camp. Then let him do heal accompany Abbd
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and Cooper on the trip and pay them when they
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: get there. Oh, unless we prevent it. How long do
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you think it'll take you to find Chief Thundercloud? Maybe weak?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Good when you see him, tell him exactly what I've
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: told you, Hunt do it. He's helped us before. I'm
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: confident he will again. H him good friend, ready, be
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: ready and good luck he Musabi, and we'll meet at
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the place I named ah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Get him up, head up.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: A month went by, Cooper and Abbott had completed the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: work of cutting Mag's timbers, while there's two to determine.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: The ownership of the land still dragged on in the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: court at Pakos. Nevertheless, Mustang Mag still held to her
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: faith in the mask Man.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: He hasn't let me down. I know he hasn't.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I suppose not, Mag, But don't you think it's kind
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: of funny he never showed.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: Heself seeing him, But we ain't. What's that got to
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: do with it? Missouri?
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Well, wouldn't he want us to know?
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: He's on the job.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: I know he is sure, but a recogn in a way,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: it's kind of a compliment to us that he ain't
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: been here. It's his way of telling us he knows
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: we've got faith in them. If he doubted it, it'd
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: come around to make sure it wasn't worried.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, Missouri.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: I'm always glad to see him, of course, but he's
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: one fellow with his own way of doing things, and
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: it ain't for.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Us to question it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Catfish, you're right. I was confident you wouldn't lose faith.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Oh my stars. I never meant for you to hear me.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I know it, friend, and I glad to see you today.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: The last of the timber was loaded and sent on
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: its way to the construction camp. Yes, I've just come
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: from there. Abbott, Cooper and Barker. I left with the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: wagons got.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: Us, Missouri.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: You know if Abbott and Cooper, if you get the
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: camp and collect that cash, it won't be bad.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, but this is the way you're planning things.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: It is well.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: I don't say it, but that's all right. I guess
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: now what you come to tell us that the timber's.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Gone, But we're not to worry about it only in part.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Chiefly I came to learn if you and Missouri would
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: obey a request of mine without asking why I made it,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: don't you know we would slam it. Friend, Abbott and Cooper,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: keeping with the wagons will travel slowly. They can't reach
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the railroad camp in less than ten days, so you
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: won't have to leave it once. If you wait until
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the end of the week, you can still overtake them.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: We can join them from keep steal Missouri and let
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: him finish go one fight.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: They travel through some rather wild county before they get there,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: especially between Saddle Butte and the Patchy Pass. You know
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: that district.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: You have to get there.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: That's always necessary. That's where I want you to join them.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Pretend you're there to make one last effort to prevent
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the sale of your timber. I won't be hard.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: You'll go a little and cline for the pool cats too.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I'll get out my buffer.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: You'll do no such things, and you'll carry no guns
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: when I'm a lot.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: But I've gotta protect you.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: To rhyme or take me while you're spaving, No, they
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: you'd have to be skinful of liquor to say boo
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: to a rabbit.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Oh no, what.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: What now? See what you've done? While you're talking? He
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: leaves Missouri.

  Speaker 6: Someday you're gonna stretch my patients till aust naturally up
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: and hitch.

• 22:02

• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Apache pass till the day's journey away. Barker, who was
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: riding with him, suddenly turned in his saddle and pouring
• 22:13

• 23:18
  Speaker 2: What else can I do?
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Give the money to me?
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: What the man this timber came from is in their
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: name because of a crooked trick?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, meg man.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: What's that said about?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Right in the middle of ancient country? Who saw Indians?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Look at and there, and the house surrounded.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Everywhere? The masked man pointed. Indians were silhouetted against the sky.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Apparently there were hundreds of them, all shotting their war cries,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and they bent low over the backs of their feet ponies.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Almost before the party of white men could realize this danger,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it was completely circled by howling painted braves. They made
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: no attempt to close in, and when one of their
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: number gave a signal, they fell silent. Rain them mounts
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: to a halt. The Indian who had given the command
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: attached himself from his followers and roll alone toward the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: waiting whites. That must be the cheat. Yeah, I'll fix
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the vomit out up that gunt. Hey, you pool the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: mass man's right. Shoot this fellow and those Indians to
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: be honest, in a moment, we won't have a chance.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Put your runaway, cooperhow this fellow is a chief marker,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: probably with him. See what he wants? I will ow
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: me chief Thundercloud, You savvy? The white man's took uh
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: me savvee?
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: And what is it you want?
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Why have you stopped this me?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Want them bought me inhabit? What where you cut them down?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Trees belong, great spitty? Hmm, you cut them down, trees
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: sacred to red man? Now you pay. He may be
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: speaking the truth. If he is, this is serious. You
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: can't always know what places the Indians hold sacred. One
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: may have been Mag's forest, with trees as rare as
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they are in this district. It's very probable you mean
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: these engines would punish us for it? What does it
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: look like to you?
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: No, they can't.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: We'll fight him.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: And how far would we get counting the drivers of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: those wagons, is hardly more than a dozen of us
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I'd say Thundercloud has at least two hundred braves with
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: him to obey his commands.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: Me not make war on you.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: He just take them. You come no, get back, don't
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: touch you.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Come back.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Don't let a fair baker. Those braves are tank It
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: wipe us out in five minutes.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: Wait, you fellows ain't gonna let them engines take us?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Are Yeah?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: You gotta help us, please, they'll kill us?
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Uh kill No? No, wait, but they wail, under Cloud.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: What if that woods hadn't belonged to them but to
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: someone else. What if they cut this timber from it
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: because they'd been ordered to by the reel owner? Would
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: you still hold them to blame? Would you still want
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to punish them? That's it. It wasn't our fault.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: We was told to do it.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Tell them it was meg here, she owns him woods.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: It was her head has cut him. That's true, It
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: is true. You realize what you were saying. You were
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: sacrificing a woman to save these pillows. Perhaps you were easy.
• 26:01

• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Then you speak?
• 26:05
