• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in the Range country. Rustlers and hostile Indians attacked the

  Speaker 1: honest ranchers constantly, and it was only through the strength

  Speaker 1: be tried, the court room in Leadville was crowded. Everyone
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: knew it was the Lone Ranger who had obtained the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: evidence against him, But so far Benjamin Steele, who had
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: said nothing for against his former employee, when he stand
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: by him or condemn him, the question remained unanswered.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Going to Judge wrapped for order.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Caser Jim Carrey versus Breed Gomez. You got all the
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: witnesses lined up. Share, who's that Benjamin Steel? I hold
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: this trial is illegal?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: What do you mean by that? This?
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: What's the charge? You want to know? That poisoning the
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: water hole? And who brought the church? Jim Carrey?
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: He he's got no right to bring charges. The water
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: hole is on my land. I don't want to bring charges.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Nobody can wait a minute. There, he poisoned my waterhole too.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: You just figure you did. You've got no proof and
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: he must have. You got any evidence?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: No, we caught him at.
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: Your water hole, But I said, still yours. I'm the
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: only one that can bring charges, Your honor. You know
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: how all this happened. Breed was really trying to kill
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: off my cattle. He sent word to me that I
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: could use Steel's waterhole. I got that message after heat pison.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Hold on man, Breed give you that message himself. It
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: was Ted Bailey brought it, but Breed told him to.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: You got any proof of that? I got Ted's word.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Is that enough, your Honor?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Not?
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Unless there was witnesses. Steve's right about the legal part
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: of this case.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Carry.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: He's the only one who's got the right to bring charges.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: But I want to tell him here and now it's
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: his duty to do it. I get an answer to that. Well,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: out with it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Read's worked for me for a long time. He's a
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: good foreman, and I need him to run the Tomahawk.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: I'll admit he made a mistake, but most of us
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: do every now and then. Not even the lone ranger
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: would stop an honest man from getting the second chance.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Honest man, that's what I said. Reid figured you ought
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: to send your land to me for your own good.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: You've got sort of obsens about it. He just figured
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: out this little trick to make it change of mind.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: It was cooked. It was wrong, I'll admit.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: But I'll answer for him to everybody here in this
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: courtroom and everybody in the Tomahawk basin.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: He won't try anything like it again.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: That's why I'm not bringing charges against him.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Your honor, I'm caught on you to throw this case
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: out of court.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: High abjected, Well, rightly speaking, there is no case objection
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: over release the prison.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: Parts.
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: Agournr. You will not be sorry for what you have
• 5:07
  Speaker 9: done today.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Sure you do, and.
• 5:09
  Speaker 10: Every small rancher here knows you too. You think you'll
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: put one over on us, but you haven't read.
• 5:15
  Speaker 11: Isn't going to jail Kerry the Lord Ranger didn't accomplish
• 5:19
  Speaker 11: anything by getting him arrested.
• 5:20
  Speaker 10: Oh yes he did. He's forced you to put your
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: cards on the table. You can't pretend to be friendly
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: to us anymore. You are trying to drive us all
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: out of the basin, and from now on it's warm.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Now on this war, asked Tanto, Carrie told the truth.
• 5:47
  Speaker 12: Uh, Tomahawk outfit plenty strong, strong as all the other
• 5:50
  Speaker 12: outfits put together. Steel is smart. Instead of breaking the law,
• 5:54
  Speaker 12: he'll use it. He'll use his money to force the
• 5:57
  Speaker 12: small ranchers and the bankruptcy. He'll try to frame for
• 6:00
  Speaker 12: wrestling and send them to.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Jail him plenty bad. But he won't attack them openly
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: until everything else has been tried. He must make sure
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: his plans failed. Chemosadi afterwards, when he's turned his back
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: on the law, and we'll have a chance to put
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: him where he belongs, make him pay for everything, for
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: every head of cattle, for every ranch he's stolen, most
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: of all for something we can't prove.
• 6:19
  Speaker 12: You mean, black cart Yes, he'll.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Pay for his treason.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Plenty civil breed. The thing I like about it is
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: it is legal, legal. Yes. The other ranch is killing
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: with a round they started.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: He's the same with the tomahawk.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: We've got to finish first. That's ome. You haven't got
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: nearly enough men.
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: Oh, we have planding.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm planning.
• 6:55
  Speaker 11: That's why he take charge for a few days and
• 6:57
  Speaker 11: you head down to San Antonio. I recommend you can
• 7:00
  Speaker 11: find to get back here at the end of the
• 7:01
  Speaker 11: week with a hundred at least a hundred at least,
• 7:05
  Speaker 11: and there's many more as you can find.
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: He's locals, agnority.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: How many men would you need to drive a trailer
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: hurt the fifty thousand the market?
• 7:12
  Speaker 13: Well, we will not have fifty thousand here. Five thousand
• 7:15
  Speaker 13: might be what fifty thousand, oh.
• 7:17
  Speaker 11: Fifty thousand years senor what's more, they have to get
• 7:20
  Speaker 11: the market before any other kettle from the basin. You'll
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: have to move fast for hiding.
• 7:26
  Speaker 13: I begin to see if you sell them fifty thousand head,
• 7:30
  Speaker 13: the buars will have enough. They will offer little or
• 7:33
  Speaker 13: nothing for the other cattle from the base.
• 7:35
  Speaker 11: And I'm hoping it will be nothing. This will be
• 7:38
  Speaker 11: a bad year for the small ranchers. They won't have
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: enough money to run it till next year. They'll have
• 7:43
  Speaker 11: to borrow.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: And if they can't borrow, they'll have to sell out
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: at my price.
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: It's so simple. You will lose some money yourself, of course,
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: fifty thousand here. They want time. You cannot hope for
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: a top price.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I can afford to lose money to get the land out.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Would see.
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: I congratulate you to bother to do that shit.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: We've got to move fast.
• 8:06
  Speaker 11: If it's gonna work, you'll get down to center Antonio
• 8:09
  Speaker 11: and Hi those men pronto.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: You know, let's breed a ton of h steal. Wouldn't
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: have bothered to get him out of jail if he
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: didn't have some work for him. Not right, it's strange
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: that he should be leaving the basin just from the
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: round up is getting under way?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: What you think?
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't like the looks of it, though.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: You better follow him Tom.
• 8:33
  Speaker 12: Maybe him go a long way, and it doesn't matter.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Follow him wherever he goes. Follow him until you find
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: out what he's up to. Talk to do that, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: then when you learn anything, how to come back plenty fast,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: good luck, msabi up.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: One night a week later, the Lone Range are rained
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: up in front of Jim Carrey's ranch house. A great
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: yellow moon was rising above the western hills that rimmed
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the basin.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: The distant lowing of.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The cattle, and an occasional whinnie from the mustangs and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the corral were all that disturbed the silence of the night.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: The Range country seemed to peace. As he climbed the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: steps of the ranch house. The Lone Ranger's face was
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: grim beneath his mask.
• 9:22
  Speaker 14: Steady, big fella, good eaving carry well, I'll be dogged,
• 9:28
  Speaker 14: the Lone Ranger, come on in, Thank you too, bad
• 9:31
  Speaker 14: Abby and hed on't here.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: They've gone to a shindig at the bar.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: And I was afraid you might be there too.
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: Nope, I had a lot of figures to go over
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: around up time.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I hardly ever leave the home range.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Then you don't know what's going on over the tomahawk
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: going on?
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: You mean Steel's up to some funny business again.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Don's answer me this. How do you split up your
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: herd during the round up?
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: By three ways? Of course, the cows and the calves
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: are going to be branded, and the ones are.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Going to drive to market and the others the Tomahawk
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: crew are only splitting their herd in two. That's cutting
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: out the cows and calves. And they aren't doing any
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: branding at.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: All on there, marking them huh not even that they'll have.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: To, well, they aren't doing it now. It looks to
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: me as if they're getting a trail herd together as
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: fast as they can. What's the sense of it here?
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: It will be a trail herd such as the worst
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: has never seen. You know how many heads Steel has.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Half of them would run the total to nearly fifty.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Thousand, But they can't drive that many to market on
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: not all together.
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: There's no trail crew can handle more on five thousand.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: They can split it up ten ways, but that will.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Need ten crews. The Steel doesn't have that many man.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: He doesn't know, but he may be able to hire them.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: We're not around here.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Red Roads South last week he did and he rode
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: a long way because Tone followed him and he hasn't
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: come back. Plenty of men in San Antonio.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I can't figure it out.
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: Though I would steal want to sell fifty thousand head
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: he's got plenty of grass and water.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: And I doubt if the buyers and clocks.
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: Of Millwood with what fifty thousand, fifteen dollars ahead we're getting.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Now you're beginning to realize that's seven hundred.
• 10:52
  Speaker 10: And fifty thousand dollars. Why a drive like that would
• 10:55
  Speaker 10: break the market wide open?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: How many were you planning to sell this year?
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: A thousand head and all the others in the basin
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: outside of Steele? You mean, yes, well all together we'll
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: have about six thousand heads.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: And you've got to beat Steel to Clarksville. You won't
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: get anything for them.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: But we hadn't planned on starting yet.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Well, you've got to. Most of the small ranchers are
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: over at the bar end of night, aren't they. Yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I guess, So then go there.
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: It'll be hard to convince them Steel's up to a
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: trick like that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: You wan't show.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. They'll have to admit there's a chance
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: of my being right, and if there is, it means
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: you have to act.
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: I'll talk to him. I'll give it to him straight.
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: We'll get a part of the hurt started tomorrow morning.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Sooner the better.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Someone just rode up, Yes, it's tollow.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: You'll have news of breeding.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: Me. Follow your trail from camp at a long ride tallow. Huh,
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: let's count plenty time.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: What did you find out?
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: Breed go to San Antonio him hire many men maybe
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: one hundred?
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: You hear that?
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: Carry and then get here by morning? All men wear

• 11:47
  Speaker 4: That's the sort of man breed with hire. Did you
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: hear what he told them?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: Toto here breed promise, then get much money?
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: But are they going to stay at the Tomahawk ranch?
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: No? Then drive big herd to Clarksville.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: A hundred men carry. Steele has nearly that many working
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: for him already. Do you need any more?
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Pie? Sure?
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Don't you got all your cattle on the trail. Tomorrow
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: we can try.
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: I'll make it to the bar and in a half
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: an hour, and when I get there the party will
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: be over. Listen to me, I haven't finished. You can't
• 12:22
  Speaker 10: be too careful about this. You can't read out your
• 12:24
  Speaker 10: cattle the way you usually do. We gotta move fast.
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: I'll just make up your mind how many heads you
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: want to send, cut them out tonight and drive him
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: to the flats along Banjo Craik. That's where we start
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: from tomorrow morning. I don't waste any time and talk.

  Speaker 15: rational it was having the party, but there aren't anymore.
• 13:09
  Speaker 15: I could hear Jim Carrey talking to him. I saw
• 13:10
  Speaker 15: him start riding away, almost word for word. But you
• 13:13
  Speaker 15: told the boys yourself.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: He supposed have been blabbing it over the range.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Oh they haven't. It was a lone range.

  Speaker 11: Cayo should call the horse and high tailor for the

  Speaker 11: roundup camp.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: My sun rise the next morning, the small ranchers heard
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: was taking shape in the plats near Banjo Creek, hard riding,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: calm boys. Hey, the wild long horns into one great
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: milling mass. Hours passed as they rounded up the strays.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: At last, the herd was quieted down. Carry was about
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to give the word for the drive to begin when
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the Lone Ranger and Tonto raised upwards.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: We were all set to go.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: We'll have to wait. What's hand to us? Three thousand
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: head moving already reach the past before you can.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: God, we'll have to wait until they get through.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: You can't start your driving until this afternoon.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: This is going to be bad.
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: One heard in front of us. A steel should have
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: started another moving as soon as you can. It's like
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: being between two fires.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Asked Carrie. It's four hundred miles to Clarksville. There'll be
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: trouble every full of the way.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Ranger's story. Before the next exciting scenes, please perm minister
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: pause for just a few moments, not to continue our story.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: When Breed reigned up in front of the Tomahawk Ranch
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: halls where the men he had hired in San Antonio,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he slipped from the saddle and ran up the steps.
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: Ten.
• 16:12
  Speaker 13: I'm coolat it's true carrying the other smaller rancher. They
• 16:15
  Speaker 13: have the trailers are ready to start. We see it
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: in a bunch of creek sure breed.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: But we got three thousand head going through the pass
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Three thousand was to be fifty.
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: I don't get excited. We had to change your plans.
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: A lord ranger get wise.
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: Oh the long range.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: He's smart. You g gotta give them credit for that.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: But I load the trumps in this game, and I
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: know how to play him.
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: You will explain threes.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I do not understand.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: It will take me long. Then you and the boys
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: out there can go to way.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Carry's heard was driven through the pass late that afternoon.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: A lone ranger had been scouting the trail ahead Carry
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: found it waiting on the far side.
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: Oh boy, well or two yes, Carry's still light. We
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: can cover a couple of more mile before we have
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: to bed the herd down.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: You can't go any further tonight?
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Because Steele's hurt. Its less than two miles ahead of you.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Cruise made camp.
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: Huh You mean to say they started before daybreak and
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: didn't get any farther than that.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Didn't want to get any further didn't want to. Now
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: they're trying to hold you up. You can't go on
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: because if your hurt ever got mixed up with theirs,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: I'll let it take your days to separate them.
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: Oh I know, but what good will it do to
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: hold us up? They'll be just holding themselves up too.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: There's more to it than that. I've sent Tannel back
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: to the pass, and I'm afraid he'll be bringing us
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: some bad news before long.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Here he comes. Now, what kind of news?
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: It's simple, Kerry Steele's going to start another hurt as
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: soon as he can.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Whatever it. You can't move any faster than we do.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: You'll have to keep back a couple of.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Miles so that it doesn't what you might even stampede
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: this next herd right into yours, leaping cactus. How did
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: you find out?
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: You'd make you think more cattle on way to pass
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: now and move plenty fast.
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: They're coming through the past tonight. Yeah, you've got to
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: go on. Then we've got to keep the head of them.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: You can't go on.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: We've got to do something, and.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: There's one way out.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Name it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I have your cattle to the east for twenty miles
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: and follow the Merrick to Clarksville.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, twice as long. If we do that, we lose.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: You want your herd to be stampeded? You want to
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: lose most of them? No, but I Jack's you're the
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: only trail and only chance. If you drive twenty miles
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: a day, you can get to Clarksville first.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Twenty miles a day.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: You stay here. Try to drive through or around that
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: heard up ahead, you'll never get there.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Gone. I guess you're right. Boys. Swing that point to
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: the right. We're head and east for the Merry trail.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Three nights later, Steel and Breed were camped with one
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of their trail crews on Spanish Creek. The ranch here
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: was in a bad tamper.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Where isn't Jacob back yet?
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: I don't know it's in your He's gone seems lass nice.
• 19:00
  Speaker 13: If he has done that, that would beat them off good.
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: I tell him to look at the carry herd and
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: report back at once.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: They kept cobe.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: See, m it's too where they slip out of our trap?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: What did they gain by nothing?
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: The merried tree is too long. We get the class
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: reveal first, and that is all you want.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Mmm, We're just the same, just the same.
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: What he's hard to forget the long range rise with him.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: He's not a man to be trusty.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Give me that cobe.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Hello, he's.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: Oh rusty. Where are you being?
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: It's way like at my breath.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: I tell you, why have you take so long to
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: ride a few miles?
• 19:45
  Speaker 15: A few miles nothing? I had to ride all the
• 19:48
  Speaker 15: way to the Sweetwater before I caught up with him.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Sweet Water is not possible.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: They could not have got that far.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: They would have to drive twenty miles a day.
• 19:54
  Speaker 15: That's just what they're doing. I never saw a trail
• 19:57
  Speaker 15: herd move so fast. I followed him along the ridge
• 19:59
  Speaker 15: for while. That mask man was everywhere. You should have
• 20:01
  Speaker 15: seen it.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Read hey, twenty miles a day. They win, and then
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: they saw you get to stop them to more and nights.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: You'll take twenty of the best men you get from
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: sent in to him.
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: He's clawed up, and maybe store him tomorrow night.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: That they would help.
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: Just make sure that he heard is scaddage, so they'll
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: never be able to round it up again. He that is,
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: until from now on we drive twenty miles a day ourselves.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I'll pass away along.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Following night, the carrier heard was better down north of
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the sweet water. Just before dawn, the lone Ranger rode
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: up in the dying campfire. Carrier was rolled up in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: his blanket beside it, soundlessly.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Carry carry.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Oh hello there, it's int five o'clock. Here is it?
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: No, I've just been taking a look at the herd.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Don't you ever sleep?
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: It can't be much more asleep for any of us tonight?
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Something wrong?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Oh storm, Yes, it'll break any minute. Cattle getting restless.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: I can hear them.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: You are night riders.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: What are they shouting for? There's no way to quiet cattle.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Gunfire steel may have sent some men after us. Here'll
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: roll out of your blankets.
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: Boys, have you got a storm and a passion of
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: chaos to deal with?
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Waltz.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Before the Lone Ranger reached the herd, the gunfire had stopped.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: In the flash of lightning. He saw a band of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: horsemen disappearing over the ridge. There was no time to
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: follow them. The cattle were already milling, and at that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: moment the storm broke and all its fury almost at once.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: The long horn started to run. Before the driving rain.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Jagged streaks of lightning cracked toward the earth. Great balls
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: of fire played above the to the terror stricken cattle
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: on they raised a stampede.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: You'll give the orders, mass Man.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: All we can do is run with them. The storm
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: laps up.
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: We're trying to turn the leader Chino on silver.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: The cattle ran for ten miles before the last of
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the thunder rumbled away in the distance, and the lone
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: ranger directed the cowboys and the desperate work of getting
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the herd under control once more. All after hour of
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: hard riding followed. The sky cleared, the sun rose high
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: in the heavens. It was nearly noon, and the last
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of the strays were rounded up, and the herd was
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: started back.
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: Ten miles back to where we lifted Chuck Wagon. We
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: won't get there until dark. Whole day lost. Yes, carry,
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: I'd like to lay my hands and the skunksure started
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: the stampede.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, back with their own heart.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: We just can't win, mass Man.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Hey isn't like you to give it up.
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: They know where we are, they know how far we've gone.
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: That means I'll get along a lot faster to themselves.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: You and I are riding on to clark Spell, asked Carrie.

  Speaker 1: rode into clocks Ville at the head of the first herd.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: There was no sign of Kerry, and the rancher congratulated
