Welcome to the Old Time Radio Westerns. I'm your host,
Angel Ryans, and I'm excited to bring you another episode
absolutely free. This is one of over eighty episodes released
monthly for your enjoyment. Now let's get into this episode.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
A fiery horse, this speed of light, a cloud of
dust in, a hearty.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Hio Silver, A lone Ranger, ruction at.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
The contest and at the cot.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
When the United States government made treaties with the Indians
in the early days of the West, it did its
best to be fair to the Red men and reserved
certain privileges for them which were denied to the white settlers.
In the Oregon territory. The Chinook Indians were given the
right to face the Columbia River, and the resentment this
aroused among a class of renegade whites led to one
(02:48):
of the masked riders of the Plains. Most exciting adventures
return with us. None of those thrilling days of yesteryear.
A out of the pass come the thundering hoof beats
of the great horse Silver.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The Lone Range rides again.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Home Fiord from the northward.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Lone Ranger in Tanto were following a trail that led
to the Columbia River. Suddenly, as they topped the rise,
they saw a man sprawl on the ground ahead of
them this mount table.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
That man's hurt, hurt, plenty of band him engine. Come on, We.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Don't see if there's anything we can do for him.
He's one of the chinooks.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
His name not right? And give him some of this?
How to try to find out who hurts?
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Auk on a contu cala neil?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
What the lorna?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Can you learn his name in the tell? Name him?
Say white man killed white man? A white man? Do
this not what him saying?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Help not only white man him?
Speaker 5 (04:07):
No, raise him up and try and throw more water
down his throat. Well he's no longer in pain. Did
you learn anything further from nkimos Abe?
Speaker 8 (04:26):
No him say white man kill? We leave him here?
Other Indian find dead channoo, then more start.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
We can't leave him here.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Perhaps if we give him a simple burial where he'll
not be found by other Indians. Whatever war he was
talking about will be averted?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
It good? We move him, not good? Bury him? You
don't think it best to bury him?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
No?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
And where shall we take him?
Speaker 8 (04:49):
We take get Indian to people? Where are his people
do not know. We maybe fall trail.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Very well, said you know best. We'll get him on
silver and I'll hold him. You lead the way and
follow the trail. Not good, Tonto, Tottle lift him, Yep,
I'll hand him here. I can't believe that white men
did this. Stone hatchet or something like that was used
to that.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Right you you've.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Got him, Yes, either way, I'll follow your farm. Two
men were concealed in the underbrush at the side of
the trail, and as the lone ranger and Toto rode away,
one of them left.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
You what they said, didn't just Steve?
Speaker 9 (05:34):
Yeah, I heard, but I ain't shuttling about it. Sure
they won't four things.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
Feared they might when they said they were going to
plant the red skin, they'd have gone through that scheme.
I was ready to drill him and lug him away,
but they ain't going to. They take them right to
his own Shinook pals, and.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I hope but not.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
The celebration of the Chinook fishing season, Galluate.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
It should arouse me.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
To think that them red skins they having all the
fishing that they want. A white folks has to do without.
We can't get fishing without pain, team justice. When I
Eat to seize that red skin dead, you can figure
his old enemies done. Sure he will then instead of
starting now with the opening of the salmon season, Oh,
it'll think of war, not fishing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Then we'll have the steams to our own selves while
the Redskins.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Are busy fight.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Scheme.
Speaker 10 (06:22):
Once will get plenty of salmon, won't have it all
took away from us by red Skins.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
I figure, if we handle things right, we can keep
that war going till all the Redskins get killed off
on one another.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Why not come on back where we left the horses.
We'll follow them too, and make sure that they're head
for the village.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
I sure hanker to hear what old chief Eat will
have to say.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Seasting, dancing, and singing always marked the opening of the
salmon fishing season among the she of Indians, But this
year they had a better reason for celebrating. After a
long war with their closest neighbors, the Childes were once
more at peace.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
And now we have many good season of p CEO.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
No more will we make our war with other people.
You are wise and great Eater.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Your plan was good.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
We fish this side of stream. Other people fish other side.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
And Hogaw was content with plan.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Hog say plan good. Hogau feel that gods are fishing,
make good cats for people who live good punish other people.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Hogw not like war. Now we have peace for a
long time.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I hope that is for always still, o Eta, I
have fear.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Fear in heart a wife of leader.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
What if white men come to steel fish?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
White men never invade Indian fishing fields. It is love
of white men that protect us. We have nothing to
fear from white man.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
What has happened?
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Beastings stopped so sudden? Why a white man come here?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Or so Indians?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
But from strange tribe? Oh comes he who would be
leader when I die?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Owita, you speak white man's tongue, may speak him? Say
if dead man your son, we lower him to the ground.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Lone ranger in Tanto lowered the dead man to the ground.
Sorrow and anger were written on the features of the Indians,
but they remained silent until suddenly, with a great sob
Eo threw herself across the body.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Of her son.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
A moment later, oh Ita knelt beside her. He cuts
the lifeless cheek with gentle fingers. Then standing erect once more,
but with only pride to help him in his grief,
he spoke to the masked man, Oh kill, found that
man dying on the trail, Oita, we brought him here,
Oh kill?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
We don't know?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
You know we didn't kill.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Him, old enemy rise to kill? This is way to
hurt Oita, hogg or kill? Oa? Wait, your son said,
white man killed him?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Son?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
When people live in peace, no peace terms made. But
he's hug or kill.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
You wait? Not tart war, Nettie, You're wrong.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Not wrong.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Pritty is ended? Hog?
Speaker 5 (09:30):
What war? Ho?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
God?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
If I kill son?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
We show, we.
Speaker 12 (09:35):
Show how fallow?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Him? Tart war dance? Now you watch.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Throwing off his ceremonial bands, slashing a knife from the ground.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Him Bury that night when peace PD made, waving it
over his head, and he's grabbed one of the hammers.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
He's going to that lord rum handel. This is if
from a foid we made a mistake.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
You you bring sun here?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Stuck Wallick Teddy there care wait you hurt over that knife?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Walk away?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Oh wait, I'll trump.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I think I tried to hurt her. Tell him in
their own settle the kick staring her, which he tried
a knife is not fine.
Speaker 13 (10:14):
We got the way, get him up.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Star the lone range, dridd and Tahoe raced toward the river,
and when they reached this bank headed up stream. It
was not until the Chinooks had been left far behind
that the masked man raised his arm and the signal
to Raino. For a few minutes, heallo, I thought one
(10:39):
of their arrows would get us.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Huh you close?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
I wonder if now, if they have an idea that
we killed the leader's son, they don't forego their plans
to attack that other tribe.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Cont O think not they attack.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Anyway they do, it'll mean another uprising. It might go
on for years before it settled. Last time there was
a war between the tribes, a lot of damage was
done to white people's sounds and villages. Indians on the
war path take with the need wherever they can find it.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
All right, plenty bad.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
These Chinooks have their own customs and habits and a
different idea of living.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
What you see over there, ah Tupela carrying something.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
That said the side of the hill there, well are
they lugging? Look at the bright colors? It look like
totem pole.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Totem poole Uh Indian here, make totem pole and pray
to totem pole. I know, but look at the way
those men are moving. So Indians walk like that them
color not Indian white men. Huh what are white men
doing with a totem pole? Sometime white men steal totem pole,
not make Indian plenty man. Sometime other Indians steal it.
(11:45):
Think that hurt good luck of tribes that.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I want to know who those white men are and
why they have a shannook totem pole.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Hey them, pull them square a ton. I almost done
him with love.
Speaker 14 (12:03):
Can't stop now, Steve, just keep going. We'll soon be
done with It's your job. The river is just ahead, yep.
Soon as we get there, we'll throw in. The current
will carry it right across the Eta region.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
And we swear, oh, I don't notice alongside the bank
a few days.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It won't take a few days for Hogar the miss
this show. And if when he finds are gone, here'll
be plenty sore.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
The suspicion of either right off the bat and go
hunting it and.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
All to work out just right.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
They needs to be fighting mad on one another, and
take a look and make sure we're leaving the trail.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That hog won't have no trouble in fowering.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
We'll even trail of plenty. Now throw your end into

to it.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Conko, take look this part totem pole, I'll go, not
right in para Oita plan war on and.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
This dress to Oita, I'll go, We'll think it was
stolen by him? How that Indians told the truth. It
was white men who murdered him.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
White men want Indian war.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
That's it exactly.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Maybe we pull pull.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Back on now I'm going to loosen the rope and

Speaker 6 (14:23):
Hogarf petty wild him me. You see, he.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Won't want us to die from a bullet. You want
to capture us and torture us. So we will suffer
for stealing the totem pole. Half right, and that's when
we'll have to talk to him and make it mighty impressive.
The curtain falls on the first act of our lone
range of drama. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit
(14:46):

the advancing hog D tribe and the stream, stood their
ground while the Indians raced hard them. Hog himself brought ahead,
and when he had rained up in front of the
(15:34):

(20:58):
he had been tricked at the side of the mash man,

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Leading the tribe and their chief. The lone ranger headed
for the stream, then followed it until he reached the
shallow water, where the great horse Silver plunged in. The
Indians close behind, splice through the water to the opposite shore.

Hear me, all of you, look at your spirits. See
what has happened. Spirits were unhappy. They moved together near
the water. Owita, come with me, Hogo, come please to
come closer to the Totem poles.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
M Hano repeated what the lone ranger had said in
this enough tongue. Then the two chiefs rugged close to
the Totem polls. They saw two white men lying on
the ground in front of the men. Don't you understand what.
Speaker 17 (23:15):
The spirits mean to tell you? This, Haggo, is the
message I told you about. There Oweater are the men
who killed your son. You see their feet. They wear
Indian shoes, leave a trail that would deceive you. One
of them has an Indian hatchet. The spirits have given
you the murderers. They've moved together to tell you. They
(23:35):
want you and Hoggard to live together in peace. As
long as the two spirits stand. I'll go understand.
Speaker 6 (23:42):

not want war? All gone? My people not want war.

You punish, Yes, we.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
We want peace.

And go and tell your people they can return to fishing.
I go take one of those white men, take them

The Indians are at peace now, to take care of
these crooks.

Now now were you ready? We're ride with him.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
They won't kill us.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
