Speaker 1 (00:15):
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 (00:53):
A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud
of dust, and a hearty hio Silver.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
The lone rang.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Ustas Ant and.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The rich grazing lands of Texas brought wealth and security
to many ranchers in the early days of the Western
United States, but the great herds wandering over the open
range were an easy prey for rustlers. A lightning raid
to quick drive across the border, and the rancher had
lost a year's profits. It was not until the masked
right of the Plane started his great fight for justice
(02:59):
that live and property became safe in southern Texas. It
was a lone ranger who brought law and order to
a lawless frontier and made possible the winning.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Of the West.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Return with us none of those thrilling days of yesteryear.
From out of the pass, from the thundering hoof beats
of the great horse Silver, the lone Ranger rides again.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Heading south.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The k C heard had covered half the distance of
towns when a band of outlaws swarmed out of a
grove of trees beside the trail opened fire on the
cow hands. Out Numbered five to one, the men from
the k C stood their ground, but to defend the
herd against such gods was impossible, and finally the foreman
counted a command.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You need a chance, Hi trailer boys, hit for the
back trail. They're wondering paul cats. They're going to get
away with miss Petty's wife.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
I says, get hit the back there. We ain't a chance.
Hold your hire boys back, taking fast.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Up, Get along there, belong there, Get up there, have
righted launch and he hates me offul to run out
and leave him for it ain't no.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Choice, Sam, ain't no use strong ways to let back
neither well, there.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Ain't no harm.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
We're taking the last shot of them cowstell and Mavericks
last it all. I've soon a tire fight and them
to come back to them pretty girls and tell them
the whole. Their herdsman spoke it up on the how
I feel, Sam, But miss Betty de sight rather lose
a cattle than lose the cattle.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Have us all got dead? As well.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Girl here, this bigty sure is come going to be
hit hard by this year.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Come on, come on. So that was away with Miss Betty.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
I know you boys did all you could not. I'm
glad you were sensible enough to retreat.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Purst that they're retreating. That rives me something fierce, Miss Betty.
They've gone it all. That Hood Milford bunches had their
way around these parts for too long.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
Then are you sure it was a hood Milford outfit
that stole the cattle?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Sure, I'm sure he ain't no such thing, Sam, We
didn't see who there with the rest.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Fort Warren Fair. Of course he won't. He's never around
where he might dirty up them fancy clothes, isn't. But
I know right well it was his bunch.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
How'd you know who? I know? That's all. I just know.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
It won't do. We can't have Milford arrested without some
proof that he's the leader of the crook.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
But he h shush up, Sam, Yes, you know it
ain't proof. Well what is proof?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Then?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Answer me that? What is proof? That he's the critter?
Speaker 8 (05:43):
Never mind? Boys, Maybe we can hang on somehow for another.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Year, Miss Betty? Yes, not me and Sam and some
of the other boy who has worked this ranch for
plenty long while.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
I know you were here when I was just a kid.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
We handled things for your pat before he died, and
aim to stick with you and your sister.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Thanks.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
Don Now you just forget about the payroll for a time.
We got some cash savings hit away and we hankered
a sort of see you through this here tough spell
that's coming up.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
I can't let you do that.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Well, you can't stop us. You stop worrying mom, Sam.
We'll go and try to talk to them halfers into
growing up real fast.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Oh no, you ain't talking chance a half a crown
can't hold fast and fast.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Boy, they can't let them do that. I just can't paper.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Oh all right, to think maybe they'll be able to
sell this place and give us a little cash to
go to California with. Oh, dear banker Thompson, Oh.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Don't do Oh, Betty, Jenny, I wanted to write a
letter and be quiet for a little while. Uh huh,
that's a good girl. I'll be doing a few minutes.
Speaker 11 (06:59):
Betty, Indian come here, funny and why he ain't wanted
to ask me thing?
Speaker 12 (07:05):
Instead of coming here?
Speaker 8 (07:06):
You I don't know.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
He was awful, big and strong.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
He's suppose he asked about our cattle for us, dear,
I never liked redskins, Natcholas said they were bad, but
this one was real nice.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
After her, what's that?
Speaker 12 (07:19):
The Indian?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
What Indians?
Speaker 12 (07:21):
Oh, you hadn't been here?
Speaker 11 (07:22):
And nice thing, I said, Betty. I told her that
I met this Indian and he was asking all about
our ranch and how long mon Pod been dead?
Speaker 12 (07:29):
And if we ever heard about Hood Milford?
Speaker 10 (07:31):
Where was all this just a little while ago?
Speaker 11 (07:34):
When where up on the north where I was sitting
in the wind.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
Did you see any other Indians?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
No?
Speaker 11 (07:39):
Just the one, and he was real friendly Indians. Don't
be afraid, Betty notched only a dozen times after the
Indians killed Paw, they were all driven back. He needn't
be afraid.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
What did he say about Hood Milford?
Speaker 12 (07:51):
He said, you know him, fella named Hood Milford.
Speaker 10 (07:54):
I told him we did, and that you and.
Speaker 12 (07:55):
Notch were scared of the Hood's gang. Would well at
our cattle?
Speaker 8 (07:58):
You little imp?
Speaker 5 (07:58):
You?
Speaker 8 (07:59):
Then he's dropping?
Speaker 12 (08:00):
Oh you did say so? And I told the Indians, so,
don't try to fight.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
They got the drop horners. Get to the corners, Miss Betty,
I'm the younger man. Oh ain't him with a mask? Man,
he's got the drop on us.
Speaker 13 (08:14):
I'm not going to hurt you.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
What does this mean?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You two men? Come down, don't you cook?
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Tennis? I was stealing our kettle.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, one minute. In the first place, I had nothing
to do with the theft of your kettle. In the
second place, I am here to help you, not to
harm you. I'd like to talk to you alone, Miss Cummings.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Not on your life. We don't let no mask Mberys
get to see Miss Betty without us on hand the
guard and see that.
Speaker 8 (08:35):
You and sim can go back to whatever you were doing.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
But miss Betty, you heard what this said. Well all
right then, but we'll be right outside and listen in
case you holler forst.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Well, she won't holler.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Perhaps you men can be trusted, but I'd soon to
take no chances. I want your help.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
You have a hard way of coming to ask for it.
Speaker 12 (08:55):
He scared the daylights out of those who want.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to What do you want
me to do? You've lost your cattle, and if I'm
not mistaken, the loss is one that will almost break you. Yes,
rewards are often for the capture of the men who
have rated half a dozen races around here. The Cattleman's
Association would make it well worthwhile for someone to spend
considerable time running those crooks down.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
So that's what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Not for the rewards, then what is there.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
In it for you?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Perhaps I owe it that to your father. Trying to
square things in this way.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
I could see your face threats. I'd remember you've.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Never seen me performers coming.
Speaker 12 (09:28):
Yeah, you're snooping' what is it?
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Oh, well, I've written a letter to the banker. Can't
afford to hang on any longer. None. I thought the
ranch might bring some money.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
It might not be necessary to write this letter. Well,
they have plenty of space here and men to handle cattle,
but no cattle.
Speaker 12 (09:48):
We've still got happers and some doggies.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yes, I know, Jenny.
Speaker 12 (09:51):
Wishould take that mask off.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Be still, Jeannie, you.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Come donto show tricks your thrope.
Speaker 12 (09:57):
No, I'm gonna listen.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I want to bring some cattle men here and leave
it for your men to take care of for a
short time. Yes, then I want those men to take
the cattle over the same route to market.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
Whose cattle will be brought here, And.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
That's one of the things you are not to ask.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Stolen cattle, Well, let's call it borrowed, because we'll see.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
That it's returned.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
And if the lowman find it on this outfit, what
happens to me, you might be.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Accused of stealing it. You might even go to jail.
That's the risk.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
See, I don't think such a thing will happen, but
I want you to understand that there will be a
certain amount of risk in what I want.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
You to do.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Hadn't but this, Frank, is that I might have refused
to listen any longer as it is.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
I I think I trust you so f Well, that's
all I have to tell you at the present time,
when you.
Speaker 14 (10:37):
Think this live stock will be brought in within the
next few days, what shall I tell my men? Explain nothing,
Simply order them to guard the cattle. Tell them you're
going to send it to be sold in place of
the herd you lost.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
Well, I'll have to explain the cattle in some way.
Those men are all old timers here. I can't get
away with any curt commands elder man some explanation, very well,
open the door teller.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
AHZC will be here in a few days, Miss Cummings,
and you'll be well paid for handling it for me.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
They I've heard that. I'll see you again.
Speaker 12 (11:07):
Hey, you ain't even now, are you?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yes, Jenny, come on, Telly, You've got a lot of
hard riding ahead of us.
Speaker 12 (11:13):
Betty, I like that strangers, didn't you.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
I can't understand his eyes, the way they looked at me.
I had to trust him in spite of the mask.
I wonder, what are you going to do?
Speaker 12 (11:27):
Look at.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
We heard him. He's shund and beef here and he's
pay Watch this game, miss Petty.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Boys, we're going to handle some cattle for that mask.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Shock.
Speaker 8 (11:38):
You'll see that. We're paid for handling the cattle for
a few days.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
But what if it's stolen?
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Look, boys, we need cash badly. He didn't say that
it was stolen cattle, and I didn't ask questions.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Whatever you want to do, Miss Petty, you can count
on us to stick.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
The case heard had been driven hard toward the south.
It was long after dark and the outlaws reached a
narrow base and surrounded by steep hills. This acted as
a natural corral, and when all the cattle were inside.
Dark skinned men counted and checked them. Then one of
the outlaws was given a paper. He mounted and headed
north once more get up. Hours later, two men were
(12:31):
seated narrow window in the cafe at Buckthorn. One of them,
a half breed, seemed to be impatient.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Then Senor, it is late. Perhaps we meet tomorrow. Huh,
we can feed in Shardiana said still. Caesar said still
already we wait for so long? You want to be
for yourami, don't you.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Caesar?
Speaker 13 (12:49):
You know dog gone well that you can't get it
through any honest means across the border.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That is true. Then shot up and said still.
Speaker 13 (12:55):
If you want me to keep your renegade outfit fed up,
you've got to wait till my memory.
Speaker 15 (13:00):
Someday, when I have taken over the government, I will
not have to deal with outlaw cattle peeves.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
I wouldn't say things like that, Caesar, take good judgment.
As Wendy coming in. Now he's your man, eh my
top hand, Hi.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
There, Wendy said, Hi, I read hard to get your
hood everything all right? Yeah? Esus men counted the beef
and his lieutenant sign for it.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Here's the paper, let's say it.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Not bad.
Speaker 13 (13:28):
That's still not as many head as I figured you
shure it was counted right in the figures wood, Hey,
are Caesar good?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You can pay me off right now.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
It comes to three thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I have the cash with me. I pay you here
here is all right, or maybe safer outside.
Speaker 13 (13:44):
Eh. I ain't as fed of being seen taking cash
from you, Caesar, as I am being short changed in
the dark.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Just hand it over and with square.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I will need more beef.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
You get him soon.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, sure, you use a lot of lady start to
keep them soldiers of yours killed up hand.
Speaker 13 (14:02):
You'll complain me, oh cross not we line some up
more stuff up there or so, and you can be
sure it took over the border, just so as it
won't be traced back.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
You need have no fear of that now, Yes, good morning,
I think it is all here. You'll count it, eh,
And al comes.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Take a good look at them through the doors, so
you'll know them again.
Speaker 16 (14:30):
I haven't Read's name is Ceesar hunt to see him.
The man with him is Hood Milford Law has never
been able to touch you.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Read, and come this way now in finished business.
Speaker 16 (14:41):
Stand back here in the shatters. He won't pay any
attention to us to watch Wood Milford. Now, ye, little
Good's handing money to the bartender. It's one of the
tracks that's going to make it almost impossible to put
their crook out of business. The bartender will see that
(15:01):
the money is split up to the lawman who might
make a case against Melfred. He pays plenty for his protection, Tuner,
and he gets protection. How we fixed That's why I
needed the help of the k C.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Wrench.
Speaker 16 (15:13):
Caesar is friendly with Melford as long as Hood supplies
cattle at low prices. Sooner or later, though, there will
be a break between those two. We will try and
make that break come soon.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
All right, Stranger turn sloan and keep your hand still.
What take his gun? Sam Hi girdle watch the red
skin order man I saw at the k C.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Wrench house.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
Yes, so we ride along your trail, mister, and we
aim to learn what sort of skin game you're aiming
to play on.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Miss Betty. I had to wait from here where we
can talk and mind I will let you have lead
in the back. You make set move.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The curtain falls on the first back of our Lone
Ranger story before the next exciting scenes. Plead for minister
to pause for just a few moments. How to continue
(16:20):
our story.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Grin didn't catch that cattle alone, did you? Who helped
you bring the critters?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
They're wasting time. It should be you getting those steers
on the trail, but I won't help you. Call all
the men, saddle up.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
We're on the move. A better hie, boy, Come on,
we gotta move that cattle. Has the horses sticks up there?
Toss that letther if we get caught with us, here
be steak. We're showing up. Done for it? Knock, Come on,
hurry up there.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
When the KC men saw the brands on the cattle,
they lost no time in saddling up. The herd was
driven west along the tails to Mason Point, But less
than an hour later, the little ranger joined the drive
and issued a new order.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Nutch, this is where we cut south. South. I form
were cutting south.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Because that's the way wealth the cattle taken.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
But that ain't the way your questions until later. You'll
stop the water and give a stock a chance to
rest in a little while. Meantime, save your breath. How
long your figure on keeping the critters grazing here?
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Only as long as necessary. Waiting for my friend engine.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
It looks like him riding up from the south. Paint horse,
ain't it.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
That's kind of all right?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Signal something road?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
All right, nice, get the men together. We're starting out
again right away.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Hold on, maybe we are, Maybe we give here a second?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Everything is it should be kim a subvy ah, we
go crails town trails that way. How about the leader?
They're the ones we want, not all right, we go
sow now, hold on, mister ready, we eit moments we
know to where you're taking these, to your south where
I show you I'm done right.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Sorry, stranger, but so far all we know about you
is that your mast, that you won Miss Betty over
with your fine style of talk.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And then we're running red hot stairs that it ain't
safe to medal with.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Jesho, we turned back right here. Listen, we find out
more about your scheme.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
All right, then listen.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Hood Milford is generally known to be the one behind
this cattle stealing, but.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
It can't be proved, and if it could, he's friendly
with the law.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's why we can't use regular methods to get at him.
He sells stolen cattle to a running gate army.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
We know all that, but there's still a matter of proof.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
The Cattlemen's Association is offering a mighty big reward that
the people who can smash this cattle ring. That's why
I'm letting you Casey riders in on it. I don't
want the reward.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
You don't want no reward by ginger, That don't make sense.
What do you figure on getting out of what you're doing?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
There ain't nothing like you. You ever hear them a
scepting that armrey. We heard stories about not that lone Ranger.
Remember what we heard about him and them silver Woods.
He lived over Pako's way.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Say mister, there you are cat suffering cats?
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Look Sam, is she silver? Silver is right now? Come on,
that's settlement. Come on, Sam, lead the way. Mister, where
was you get going? Lone Ranger on Silver fan boy?
Pack that cattle in closing the way?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Hurt him alive? Get going?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Come not to ask no more questions.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
He made every command and saw to it that his
men did the same. The night had fallen, the Lone
Ranger and Toto rolled ahead. Come on, Silver, there was
runningains are taking the cattle over the border.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
All up.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Plans will fall flat tuddle and not take him over
the border. Carter camp too close, the soldiers will stay.
The evil signals that right. The opening to that face
is just ahead. Moon, show Tanto cattle there and wonder
about Caesar.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
So you know where's Caesar? What do you think we're
bringing cattle to him?
Speaker 6 (20:17):
On?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Cattle's coming in here?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Have your man get ready for us.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
I don't know what you talk about.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Why are you It's going to be sore if I'm
not in town as soon as possible, So don't delay me.
Are you ready to take the cattle?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I do not know. I make no arrangement yet.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
He was not advised the cattle's coming in anyway. You
can take it to leave it. I don't take the
cash to hood and save you the trouble of going there.
Better than me go.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I take money myself.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
If I take it, I do not know you and
have it your own way.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Puts in a hurry to get the cash and get
away from town. It's getting too hot for him to
stay around much longer. Stand back, he'll be run down
by the stairs. The k C cowhen heard the hard
running cattle into the renegade camp the loan Ranger did
(21:09):
not wait for the job to be finished. Steady raced
across country toward the army camp close to the border,
and when he was less than half a mile away,
he drew both guns and emptied them into the air.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Twelve shots rang out through the silent night, and then.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
High still how.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Burgoo calls sounded in the distance, while the lone Ranger
and the great horse Silver raced on the Buckthorn Cafe.
But Milburn was talking with the Deputy sheriff.
Speaker 13 (21:52):
And as long as you get paid, you got something
to complain about, and you get paid whenever.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I do that, reward's supposed to know. Anyone finds that out.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Finding out about my business don't mean nothing.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I'll see to it in.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Any proof that's got is mighty flimsy.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And you see to it that I'm tipped off when
such proof comes in. You keep me out of trouble levity,
and I'll keep you well paid. What's all this coming in?
That's the casey bunch? What are they doing here? Hi?
Did get up right?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Then I come post boys with moves to tell you

had it was breeds from over the border. It burned
out all the brands who we couldn't identify it, but
we knowed it all right.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So you think that jails the thieves.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Sam's all wrong. We can't jail him on suspicion anyhow.
This critter that was a leader claims he bought and
paid for the cattle. Now reckon, he told the truth.
Them breeds wouldn't dare to show themselves around too much.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
It was a gang of crooks that horror form. Yeah,
and it was the leader of them crooks that we
gotta get to get that reward money. Have you any
notion who this leader is? We got notions it?

cart again, I don't know as to that.

a while. Something is likely to turn up most any minute. Now,
you won't wait long? Nuts past man?

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 (00:53):
A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud
of dust, and a hearty hio Silver.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
The lone rang.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Ustas Ant and.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The rich grazing lands of Texas brought wealth and security
to many ranchers in the early days of the Western
United States, but the great herds wandering over the open
range were an easy prey for rustlers. A lightning raid
to quick drive across the border, and the rancher had
lost a year's profits. It was not until the masked
right of the Plane started his great fight for justice
(02:59):
that live and property became safe in southern Texas. It
was a lone ranger who brought law and order to
a lawless frontier and made possible the winning.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Of the West.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Return with us none of those thrilling days of yesteryear.
From out of the pass, from the thundering hoof beats
of the great horse Silver, the lone Ranger rides again.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Heading south.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The k C heard had covered half the distance of
towns when a band of outlaws swarmed out of a
grove of trees beside the trail opened fire on the
cow hands. Out Numbered five to one, the men from
the k C stood their ground, but to defend the
herd against such gods was impossible, and finally the foreman
counted a command.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You need a chance, Hi trailer boys, hit for the
back trail. They're wondering paul cats. They're going to get
away with miss Petty's wife.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
I says, get hit the back there. We ain't a chance.
Hold your hire boys back, taking fast.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Up, Get along there, belong there, Get up there, have
righted launch and he hates me offul to run out
and leave him for it ain't no.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Choice, Sam, ain't no use strong ways to let back
neither well, there.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Ain't no harm.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
We're taking the last shot of them cowstell and Mavericks
last it all. I've soon a tire fight and them
to come back to them pretty girls and tell them
the whole. Their herdsman spoke it up on the how
I feel, Sam, But miss Betty de sight rather lose
a cattle than lose the cattle.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Have us all got dead? As well.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Girl here, this bigty sure is come going to be
hit hard by this year.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Come on, come on. So that was away with Miss Betty.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
I know you boys did all you could not. I'm
glad you were sensible enough to retreat.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Purst that they're retreating. That rives me something fierce, Miss Betty.
They've gone it all. That Hood Milford bunches had their
way around these parts for too long.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
Then are you sure it was a hood Milford outfit
that stole the cattle?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Sure, I'm sure he ain't no such thing, Sam, We
didn't see who there with the rest.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Fort Warren Fair. Of course he won't. He's never around
where he might dirty up them fancy clothes, isn't. But
I know right well it was his bunch.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
How'd you know who? I know? That's all. I just know.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
It won't do. We can't have Milford arrested without some
proof that he's the leader of the crook.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
But he h shush up, Sam, Yes, you know it
ain't proof. Well what is proof?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Then?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Answer me that? What is proof? That he's the critter?
Speaker 8 (05:43):
Never mind? Boys, Maybe we can hang on somehow for another.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Year, Miss Betty? Yes, not me and Sam and some
of the other boy who has worked this ranch for
plenty long while.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
I know you were here when I was just a kid.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
We handled things for your pat before he died, and
aim to stick with you and your sister.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Thanks.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
Don Now you just forget about the payroll for a time.
We got some cash savings hit away and we hankered
a sort of see you through this here tough spell
that's coming up.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
I can't let you do that.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Well, you can't stop us. You stop worrying mom, Sam.
We'll go and try to talk to them halfers into
growing up real fast.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Oh no, you ain't talking chance a half a crown
can't hold fast and fast.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Boy, they can't let them do that. I just can't paper.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Oh all right, to think maybe they'll be able to
sell this place and give us a little cash to
go to California with. Oh, dear banker Thompson, Oh.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Don't do Oh, Betty, Jenny, I wanted to write a
letter and be quiet for a little while. Uh huh,
that's a good girl. I'll be doing a few minutes.
Speaker 11 (06:59):
Betty, Indian come here, funny and why he ain't wanted
to ask me thing?
Speaker 12 (07:05):
Instead of coming here?
Speaker 8 (07:06):
You I don't know.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
He was awful, big and strong.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
He's suppose he asked about our cattle for us, dear,
I never liked redskins, Natcholas said they were bad, but
this one was real nice.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
After her, what's that?
Speaker 12 (07:19):
The Indian?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
What Indians?
Speaker 12 (07:21):
Oh, you hadn't been here?
Speaker 11 (07:22):
And nice thing, I said, Betty. I told her that
I met this Indian and he was asking all about
our ranch and how long mon Pod been dead?
Speaker 12 (07:29):
And if we ever heard about Hood Milford?
Speaker 10 (07:31):
Where was all this just a little while ago?
Speaker 11 (07:34):
When where up on the north where I was sitting
in the wind.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
Did you see any other Indians?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
No?
Speaker 11 (07:39):
Just the one, and he was real friendly Indians. Don't
be afraid, Betty notched only a dozen times after the
Indians killed Paw, they were all driven back. He needn't
be afraid.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
What did he say about Hood Milford?
Speaker 12 (07:51):
He said, you know him, fella named Hood Milford.
Speaker 10 (07:54):
I told him we did, and that you and.
Speaker 12 (07:55):
Notch were scared of the Hood's gang. Would well at
our cattle?
Speaker 8 (07:58):
You little imp?
Speaker 5 (07:58):
You?
Speaker 8 (07:59):
Then he's dropping?
Speaker 12 (08:00):
Oh you did say so? And I told the Indians, so,
don't try to fight.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
They got the drop horners. Get to the corners, Miss Betty,
I'm the younger man. Oh ain't him with a mask? Man,
he's got the drop on us.
Speaker 13 (08:14):
I'm not going to hurt you.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
What does this mean?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You two men? Come down, don't you cook?
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Tennis? I was stealing our kettle.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, one minute. In the first place, I had nothing
to do with the theft of your kettle. In the
second place, I am here to help you, not to
harm you. I'd like to talk to you alone, Miss Cummings.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Not on your life. We don't let no mask Mberys
get to see Miss Betty without us on hand the
guard and see that.
Speaker 8 (08:35):
You and sim can go back to whatever you were doing.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
But miss Betty, you heard what this said. Well all
right then, but we'll be right outside and listen in
case you holler forst.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Well, she won't holler.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Perhaps you men can be trusted, but I'd soon to
take no chances. I want your help.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
You have a hard way of coming to ask for it.
Speaker 12 (08:55):
He scared the daylights out of those who want.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to What do you want
me to do? You've lost your cattle, and if I'm
not mistaken, the loss is one that will almost break you. Yes,
rewards are often for the capture of the men who
have rated half a dozen races around here. The Cattleman's
Association would make it well worthwhile for someone to spend
considerable time running those crooks down.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
So that's what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Not for the rewards, then what is there.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
In it for you?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Perhaps I owe it that to your father. Trying to
square things in this way.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
I could see your face threats. I'd remember you've.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Never seen me performers coming.
Speaker 12 (09:28):
Yeah, you're snooping' what is it?
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Oh, well, I've written a letter to the banker. Can't
afford to hang on any longer. None. I thought the
ranch might bring some money.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
It might not be necessary to write this letter. Well,
they have plenty of space here and men to handle cattle,
but no cattle.
Speaker 12 (09:48):
We've still got happers and some doggies.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yes, I know, Jenny.
Speaker 12 (09:51):
Wishould take that mask off.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Be still, Jeannie, you.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Come donto show tricks your thrope.
Speaker 12 (09:57):
No, I'm gonna listen.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I want to bring some cattle men here and leave
it for your men to take care of for a
short time. Yes, then I want those men to take
the cattle over the same route to market.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
Whose cattle will be brought here, And.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
That's one of the things you are not to ask.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Stolen cattle, Well, let's call it borrowed, because we'll see.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
That it's returned.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
And if the lowman find it on this outfit, what
happens to me, you might be.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Accused of stealing it. You might even go to jail.
That's the risk.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
See, I don't think such a thing will happen, but
I want you to understand that there will be a
certain amount of risk in what I want.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
You to do.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Hadn't but this, Frank, is that I might have refused
to listen any longer as it is.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
I I think I trust you so f Well, that's
all I have to tell you at the present time,
when you.
Speaker 14 (10:37):
Think this live stock will be brought in within the
next few days, what shall I tell my men? Explain nothing,
Simply order them to guard the cattle. Tell them you're
going to send it to be sold in place of
the herd you lost.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
Well, I'll have to explain the cattle in some way.
Those men are all old timers here. I can't get
away with any curt commands elder man some explanation, very well,
open the door teller.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
AHZC will be here in a few days, Miss Cummings,
and you'll be well paid for handling it for me.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
They I've heard that. I'll see you again.
Speaker 12 (11:07):
Hey, you ain't even now, are you?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yes, Jenny, come on, Telly, You've got a lot of
hard riding ahead of us.
Speaker 12 (11:13):
Betty, I like that strangers, didn't you.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
I can't understand his eyes, the way they looked at me.
I had to trust him in spite of the mask.
I wonder, what are you going to do?
Speaker 12 (11:27):
Look at.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
We heard him. He's shund and beef here and he's
pay Watch this game, miss Petty.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Boys, we're going to handle some cattle for that mask.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Shock.
Speaker 8 (11:38):
You'll see that. We're paid for handling the cattle for
a few days.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
But what if it's stolen?
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Look, boys, we need cash badly. He didn't say that
it was stolen cattle, and I didn't ask questions.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Whatever you want to do, Miss Petty, you can count
on us to stick.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
The case heard had been driven hard toward the south.
It was long after dark and the outlaws reached a
narrow base and surrounded by steep hills. This acted as
a natural corral, and when all the cattle were inside.
Dark skinned men counted and checked them. Then one of
the outlaws was given a paper. He mounted and headed
north once more get up. Hours later, two men were
(12:31):
seated narrow window in the cafe at Buckthorn. One of them,
a half breed, seemed to be impatient.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Then Senor, it is late. Perhaps we meet tomorrow. Huh,
we can feed in Shardiana said still. Caesar said still
already we wait for so long? You want to be
for yourami, don't you.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Caesar?
Speaker 13 (12:49):
You know dog gone well that you can't get it
through any honest means across the border.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That is true. Then shot up and said still.
Speaker 13 (12:55):
If you want me to keep your renegade outfit fed up,
you've got to wait till my memory.
Speaker 15 (13:00):
Someday, when I have taken over the government, I will
not have to deal with outlaw cattle peeves.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
I wouldn't say things like that, Caesar, take good judgment.
As Wendy coming in. Now he's your man, eh my
top hand, Hi.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
There, Wendy said, Hi, I read hard to get your
hood everything all right? Yeah? Esus men counted the beef
and his lieutenant sign for it.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Here's the paper, let's say it.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Not bad.
Speaker 13 (13:28):
That's still not as many head as I figured you
shure it was counted right in the figures wood, Hey,

Speaker 3 (13:35):
You can pay me off right now.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
It comes to three thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I have the cash with me. I pay you here

Speaker 13 (13:44):
Eh. I ain't as fed of being seen taking cash
from you, Caesar, as I am being short changed in
the dark.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Just hand it over and with square.
Speaker 3 (13:53):

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, sure, you use a lot of lady start to
keep them soldiers of yours killed up hand.
Speaker 13 (14:02):
You'll complain me, oh cross not we line some up
more stuff up there or so, and you can be
sure it took over the border, just so as it
won't be traced back.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
You need have no fear of that now, Yes, good morning,
I think it is all here. You'll count it, eh,
And al comes.
Speaker 5 (14:27):

The man with him is Hood Milford Law has never
been able to touch you.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Read, and come this way now in finished business.
Speaker 16 (14:41):
Stand back here in the shatters. He won't pay any
attention to us to watch Wood Milford. Now, ye, little
Good's handing money to the bartender. It's one of the
tracks that's going to make it almost impossible to put
their crook out of business. The bartender will see that
(15:01):
the money is split up to the lawman who might
make a case against Melfred. He pays plenty for his protection, Tuner,
and he gets protection. How we fixed That's why I
needed the help of the k C.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Wrench.
Speaker 16 (15:13):
Caesar is friendly with Melford as long as Hood supplies
cattle at low prices. Sooner or later, though, there will
be a break between those two. We will try and
make that break come soon.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
All right, Stranger turn sloan and keep your hand still.
What take his gun? Sam Hi girdle watch the red
skin order man I saw at the k C.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Wrench house.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
Yes, so we ride along your trail, mister, and we
aim to learn what sort of skin game you're aiming
to play on.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Miss Betty. I had to wait from here where we
can talk and mind I will let you have lead
in the back. You make set move.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The curtain falls on the first back of our Lone
Ranger story before the next exciting scenes. Plead for minister
to pause for just a few moments. How to continue
(16:20):
our story.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Grin didn't catch that cattle alone, did you? Who helped
you bring the critters?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
They're wasting time. It should be you getting those steers
on the trail, but I won't help you. Call all
the men, saddle up.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
We're on the move. A better hie, boy, Come on,
we gotta move that cattle. Has the horses sticks up there?
Toss that letther if we get caught with us, here
be steak. We're showing up. Done for it? Knock, Come on,
hurry up there.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
When the KC men saw the brands on the cattle,
they lost no time in saddling up. The herd was
driven west along the tails to Mason Point, But less
than an hour later, the little ranger joined the drive
and issued a new order.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Nutch, this is where we cut south. South. I form
were cutting south.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Because that's the way wealth the cattle taken.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
But that ain't the way your questions until later. You'll
stop the water and give a stock a chance to
rest in a little while. Meantime, save your breath. How
long your figure on keeping the critters grazing here?
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Only as long as necessary. Waiting for my friend engine.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
It looks like him riding up from the south. Paint horse,
ain't it.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
That's kind of all right?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Signal something road?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
All right, nice, get the men together. We're starting out
again right away.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Hold on, maybe we are, Maybe we give here a second?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Everything is it should be kim a subvy ah, we
go crails town trails that way. How about the leader?
They're the ones we want, not all right, we go
sow now, hold on, mister ready, we eit moments we
know to where you're taking these, to your south where
I show you I'm done right.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Sorry, stranger, but so far all we know about you
is that your mast, that you won Miss Betty over
with your fine style of talk.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And then we're running red hot stairs that it ain't
safe to medal with.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Jesho, we turned back right here. Listen, we find out
more about your scheme.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
All right, then listen.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Hood Milford is generally known to be the one behind
this cattle stealing, but.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
It can't be proved, and if it could, he's friendly
with the law.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's why we can't use regular methods to get at him.
He sells stolen cattle to a running gate army.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
We know all that, but there's still a matter of proof.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
The Cattlemen's Association is offering a mighty big reward that
the people who can smash this cattle ring. That's why
I'm letting you Casey riders in on it. I don't
want the reward.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
You don't want no reward by ginger, That don't make sense.
What do you figure on getting out of what you're doing?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
There ain't nothing like you. You ever hear them a
scepting that armrey. We heard stories about not that lone Ranger.
Remember what we heard about him and them silver Woods.
He lived over Pako's way.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Say mister, there you are cat suffering cats?
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Look Sam, is she silver? Silver is right now? Come on,
that's settlement. Come on, Sam, lead the way. Mister, where
was you get going? Lone Ranger on Silver fan boy?
Pack that cattle in closing the way?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Hurt him alive? Get going?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Come not to ask no more questions.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
He made every command and saw to it that his
men did the same. The night had fallen, the Lone
Ranger and Toto rolled ahead. Come on, Silver, there was
runningains are taking the cattle over the border.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
All up.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Plans will fall flat tuddle and not take him over
the border. Carter camp too close, the soldiers will stay.
The evil signals that right. The opening to that face
is just ahead. Moon, show Tanto cattle there and wonder
about Caesar.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
So you know where's Caesar? What do you think we're
bringing cattle to him?
Speaker 6 (20:17):
On?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Cattle's coming in here?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Have your man get ready for us.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
I don't know what you talk about.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Why are you It's going to be sore if I'm
not in town as soon as possible, So don't delay me.
Are you ready to take the cattle?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I do not know. I make no arrangement yet.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
He was not advised the cattle's coming in anyway. You
can take it to leave it. I don't take the
cash to hood and save you the trouble of going there.
Better than me go.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I take money myself.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
If I take it, I do not know you and
have it your own way.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Puts in a hurry to get the cash and get
away from town. It's getting too hot for him to
stay around much longer. Stand back, he'll be run down
by the stairs. The k C cowhen heard the hard
running cattle into the renegade camp the loan Ranger did
(21:09):
not wait for the job to be finished. Steady raced
across country toward the army camp close to the border,
and when he was less than half a mile away,
he drew both guns and emptied them into the air.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Twelve shots rang out through the silent night, and then.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
High still how.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Burgoo calls sounded in the distance, while the lone Ranger
and the great horse Silver raced on the Buckthorn Cafe.
But Milburn was talking with the Deputy sheriff.
Speaker 13 (21:52):
And as long as you get paid, you got something
to complain about, and you get paid whenever.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I do that, reward's supposed to know. Anyone finds that out.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Finding out about my business don't mean nothing.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I'll see to it in.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Any proof that's got is mighty flimsy.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And you see to it that I'm tipped off when
such proof comes in. You keep me out of trouble levity,
and I'll keep you well paid. What's all this coming in?
That's the casey bunch? What are they doing here? Hi?
Did get up right?
Speaker 2 (22:21):

can report to the sheriff. We smashed the mystery of
the cattle, Miss Betty last. Yeah, we'll go on, speak up.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
How'd you do it?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
How of the trail? That's what we've done, didn't we say? Yes?
So we had a redskin was very smart about it,
and he guided it. Did you find the case cattle?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Well, can't prove us hound worse luck the critters that
had it was breeds from over the border. It burned
out all the brands who we couldn't identify it, but
we knowed it all right.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So you think that jails the thieves.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Sam's all wrong. We can't jail him on suspicion anyhow.
This critter that was a leader claims he bought and
paid for the cattle. Now reckon, he told the truth.
Them breeds wouldn't dare to show themselves around too much.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
It was a gang of crooks that horror form. Yeah,
and it was the leader of them crooks that we
gotta get to get that reward money. Have you any
notion who this leader is? We got notions it?

cart again, I don't know as to that.
