- 5:16Speaker 2: Little Canyon, he heard from side to side as if
- 5:19Speaker 2: seeking someone. He thought his horse and you were a
- 5:22Speaker 2: large bulder, and smiled as he saw men stepped into

- 6:13Speaker 2: Teny minutes later, the Lone Ranger and Toto found George
- 6:16Speaker 2: Durant lying and Little Canyon badly wounded. There was no
- 6:20Speaker 2: other person inside. As the last man knelt beside Urant
- 6:23Speaker 2: and tried to stop a flow of blood, the Frenchman,
- 6:26Speaker 2: sensing death was near, tried to speak.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Don't try to speak. We want to know who shot you.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Do you understand?
- 6:34Speaker 2: You do all right now as you're able use the

- 6:38Speaker 4: The man's name in the dirt. Do you understand what
- 6:41Speaker 4: I mean? Your house?
- 6:43Speaker 2: Started to move the stick, then stopped. The moonlight revealed
- 6:47Speaker 2: a stricken look in his eyes, a look that became
- 6:49Speaker 2: mooing again as he began to press the stick into
- 6:52Speaker 2: the dirt. He moved the stick convulsively, but when he
- 6:55Speaker 2: stopped he had made the outlines.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Of a sombrero.
- 6:58Speaker 4: He closed his eyes, open them again, then starting.
- 7:01Speaker 2: To make another figure, but the stick fell from his
- 7:04Speaker 2: hand as he gasped good and died.
- 7:08Speaker 4: There was nothing we could do to save him. No
- 7:12Speaker 4: what Kimo Sabi?
- 7:13Speaker 3: Did him? Not rite name like you say him? Make
- 7:17Speaker 3: mountain about him?
- 7:18Speaker 4: Let me look again, Yes, it could be bad. It
- 7:23Speaker 4: looks more like a sombero. I think we've got to move.
- 7:26Speaker 2: His body away from here at the ranch not far
- 7:29Speaker 2: from here, up canyon crayle Tonot. That's right, the try
- 7:32Speaker 2: Corn ranch, the one that touto the try Corn Range,
- 7:37Speaker 2: is owned by a Frenchman named Durant.
- 7:39Speaker 4: The language this man spoke as French. Perhaps it is
- 7:42Speaker 4: George Durant. Maybe Toto.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Right across the Nason, take this short trail of town
- 7:48Speaker 2: find the sheriff and have.
- 7:49Speaker 4: Him come to the tri Corn ranch. I'll move this
- 7:52Speaker 4: man's body there and be waiting.
- 7:53Speaker 3: For him to.
- 7:59Speaker 2: When next Jurand answered the knock on the ranch house
- 8:02Speaker 2: door and saw the masked man, she gasped in terror,
- 8:05Speaker 2: and when she thought a body of her father, she
- 8:07Speaker 2: became hysterical. But by the time the sheriff and his men,
- 8:16Speaker 2: led by Toto arrived in front of the house, the
- 8:19Speaker 2: soothing words and manner of the lone ranger had calmed
- 8:22Speaker 2: her greatly.
- 8:23Speaker 4: You remain seated. I'll open the door.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Sheriff Tom Roswell and his possey passed the ranch of
- 8:29Speaker 2: Chapman O'Neill on their way to the Tricorn. O'Neil, who
- 8:33Speaker 2: was riding through his feet, turned his horse and joined them.
- 8:36Speaker 2: As the door opened and the low ranger appeared in
- 8:38Speaker 2: the opening, chap O'Neil's reaction was immediate. He leaped in
- 8:41Speaker 2: front of the sheriff's gun in hand and pointed it
- 8:43Speaker 2: at the mass time. We are what's the idea you
- 8:47Speaker 2: murder and parmit. You're the one to kill mister Durant,
- 8:49Speaker 2: aren't you hop in your hand, said mister buy a
- 8:52Speaker 2: way that John. What but Sheriff, this matter is mauk
- 8:55Speaker 2: you hear he's the one who found mister Drant's body,
- 8:58Speaker 2: and send his Indian fan from me.

- 9:21Speaker 2: happen upon the body Holme. Range are told of finding
- 9:24Speaker 2: yours Durant after hearing the shots and related in detail
- 9:27Speaker 2: the last moments of the dying man.
- 9:29Speaker 4: And instead of.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Running a name, he drew what I take to be
- 9:33Speaker 2: the picture of a hat.
- 9:34Speaker 7: Nay, may I offer an explanation to happen?
- 9:38Speaker 3: Certainly, mister Proper.
- 9:40Speaker 7: When he is a boy who steadied to take pictures, draw,
- 9:44Speaker 7: you know, perhaps he thinks he is dead or able
- 9:47Speaker 7: to make clear what is in his mind. If he
- 9:50Speaker 7: enjoyed this picture instead of writing in the English he
- 9:54Speaker 7: founds so difficult.
- 9:55Speaker 4: I'll bet that's it.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Stranger, you say it's possible to see this picture he drew.
- 10:01Speaker 5: In the moonlight.
- 10:02Speaker 4: Yes it was light of them. But I have candles
- 10:05Speaker 4: in my pack.

- 10:25Speaker 2: he addressed the lone ranger.
- 10:27Speaker 5: I agree with him. Looks like a sambirl.
- 10:32Speaker 2: That is the dance.
- 10:33Speaker 7: The less you lend propade, they may we bend on
- 10:38Speaker 7: the hat and the dent of the clown.

- 17:40Speaker 3: With the red shab chap oh oh, oh, yes.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Oh, hold it me down. This sounds insane, but it
- 17:52Speaker 2: might be the answer. You don't have to speak French
- 17:54Speaker 2: to know what their word for hat is. Do you
- 17:56Speaker 2: what why no French? For you had a chapau the
- 18:01Speaker 2: word this man said when he started to name Chap O'Neil.
- 18:05Speaker 4: That's whom your marriage in the battle? Yeah, yes, chap.
- 18:11Speaker 4: Wait a minute, Wait.
- 18:12Speaker 2: A minute, maks man, you mean that when Durant tore
- 18:16Speaker 2: that picture in the dirt, he meant Chape O'Neil. Why
- 18:19Speaker 2: not he started to trace another line next to the
- 18:21Speaker 2: hat when he died. Had he finished, he might have
- 18:24Speaker 2: given us a second picture and the complete name of
- 18:27Speaker 2: his murderer.
- 18:28Speaker 4: I don't know what to say. It's true that Chapel
- 18:30Speaker 4: O'Neil always needs money. He's thrown away most of what
- 18:33Speaker 4: his father left him, and the bank won't own him anymore.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Let's find out then, while Sheriff Roswell is checking on
- 18:39Speaker 2: hatton look at read he's passed out. Fand it in
- 18:42Speaker 2: pete and take him inside and get a doctor right ed.
- 18:45Speaker 2: O'Neil did leave with the rest of the crowd. I
- 18:48Speaker 2: saw him talking the bastle before you see him go
- 18:51Speaker 2: to horse ride west Headingbury Rance. Probably, then let's go there, McDowell,
- 18:56Speaker 2: let's learn what's behind just trying to get hat and lynched,
- 19:00Speaker 2: saying there's more of this than a mere player in
- 19:02Speaker 2: the word chapeau.
- 19:02Speaker 4: But what will we do?
- 19:04Speaker 2: I have a plan in mind, and i'll tell you
- 19:06Speaker 2: about on the way. It starts with me going to
- 19:09Speaker 2: see O'Neil alone.
- 19:11Speaker 4: If we start the.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Chapman.
- 19:20Speaker 4: O'Neil had been unnerved when a.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Masked man kept Red Bistle from breaking into the Sheriff's office,
- 19:25Speaker 2: and had become panicky when his lieutenant had been shot. Now,
- 19:29Speaker 2: as he opened the door in response to a knock
- 19:31Speaker 2: from outside, his legs became jelly like as he saw
- 19:34Speaker 2: the same masked man facing him.
- 19:37Speaker 4: What do you want the war? New chap Never mind
- 19:39Speaker 4: who I am or why I tell you? Red Bissell
- 19:42Speaker 4: talks to the deputies. What that's right?

- 19:49Speaker 2: who killed George Durant and took his money belt? Who said,
- 19:52Speaker 2: I mean if we haven't time to stay here? I

- 20:14Speaker 2: from the ranch house. When he arrived at a clump

- 20:21Speaker 4: To follow him.
- 20:22Speaker 2: I can't be sure that things will work out as

- 20:37Speaker 2: chapel'neill entered the deserted cabin in a little canyon, a
- 20:41Speaker 2: place where he had buried George Durant's money belt.
- 20:44Speaker 4: He lit a candle and placed it on the floor.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Then he removed a pile.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Of trash from the floor, which he had placed to
- 20:50Speaker 2: cover the spot where the loot was hidden. There was
- 20:53Speaker 2: a loose board, and he placed the fingers of both

- 21:06Speaker 4: get out of here.
- 21:06Speaker 2: He held the large money belt in his hands, his
