Speaker 1 (00:13):
I don't see a fiery horse with a speed of light,
a cloud of dust, and a hearty high old silver
The Lone Ranger. This is the story that tells how
(00:41):
Tottle once saved the Lone Ranger. The Lone Ranger, and
but we're riding westward across desolate country. They were looking
(01:03):
at the pranks of a wagon train when suddenly a
thin young man stepped from behind a big boulder. He
held a rifle to his shoulder and shot it. Get
off horses, and don't reach for a gun. The Lone
Ranger and Tatoe dismounted slowly. He then the mask man
dropped his hand with lightning speed and fired from the hip.
(01:26):
His bullet smashed the rifle and sent it flying from
the young man's hands. I raise your hands, touching totow
If he has any other weapons, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I should have known better to try to hold up
a masked out floor.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I'm not an outlaw, you don't look like one, and.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Not I helps you up because I hope to find
food in your saddle base. What's your name, Windy, Dave, Windy?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
What are you doing alone in country like this?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I was with a wagon flean it passed you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Why did you leave the train? I was driven away?
Why I didn't do anything wrong?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I was framed by Cat Sanders.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Cap Sanders, he was.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Higher his wagon mastered. Every night he posted guards to
watch for dangerous Redskins, two Indian dangers, but Crow Engine friendly.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
One of our best friends is chief of the Crow
Indians who live north of here, Dave. I want to
hear how you were framed, but first to prepare a meal.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I'm near starved.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
During the meal, Dave told about being on guard you
read during a dark night when he saw two men
sneaking beyond the circle of wagons.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So I followed them. They met a third man, and
I got close enough to hear their voices. One was
Cap Sanders and another the guide he'd hired. We called
him Dakota Dick. The man they met was an Indian.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Could you hear what was said?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I was there only a minute. Then I sneezed. Cap
Sanders and Dakota Dick rushed at me, grabbed me and
disarmed me. They were raven mad.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
What about the Indian?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
He disappeared. Dakota Dick wanted to shoot me, but Sanders
said that'd be hard to explain. He said he had
a better way of getting rid of me. They took
me to camp, roused the men, and accused me of
sleeping on guard.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Judie. I wonder why they wanted to get rid of you.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I don't know, unless they thought I overheard something they
wanted kept secret.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Did you know?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
The Indian jabbered something I couldn't understand, and Sanders told
him to mosy alone.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Mosy alone.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yes, he said, mosey along, you engine walk on. It
sounded odd, That's why I remember it. Oh, maybe him
talk through Indian language. Maybe him say mosey on, U
engine walk on. That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Sanders told the Union to make him attack at a
landmark known as Medicine.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Rock Madison Rock. The wagons are supposed to reach that tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And Sanders is working with two Indians to attack the pioneers.
They must be warned. I've tried to overtake the wagons.
Do you go with you? I thought, Oh, I'll make
better time alone. You stay with Dave, easy said it,
big thought Montil. It was late afternoon when the lone
(04:11):
ranger overtook the trane of covered wagons. He drew abreast
of the first one in the line these. He's over
lady and shouted to the driver, here'sbe you, Jim Frisbee. Yeah,
time your mask nor time to explain the mask? Now?
Maybe an ambush ahead not the wagon's why I tell
you about it. The wagons were halted at the foot
(04:33):
of a long hill. Jim Frisbee and men from other
wagons listen while the lone Rangers hold about the possible
ambush at Medicine Rock in the valley ahead. It's just
beyond that hill. You're within a couple of miles of
the place. Two of our men rode ahead. If there's
any sign of Tupper, they'll come back and lead us
over a different route. Otherwise we'll go ars with plans,
our cap standards, and to put a dick. The men
who went ahead, yes, Risbee, if my information is correct,
(04:56):
they're helping the Indians plan the amburger. That's why would
they do for money? Few people are massacred. They'll be
able to take your cash and let the Indians have
your horses in supply. They're not crooked. I'm sure they are.
I tell you're the crook.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
What's your cage?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The lone ranger realized when he heard the angry comments
that he could never persuade the men to follow him
over a different rail that would lead safely past the
dangerous valley. Where'd you get your information? Nothing I might
say would convince you that I've told the case.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
The top of the hill, there's show engines turn coming
this way.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Now you must fight. I'll help you form a circle.
As the Indians drove down the long hills, the lone
Ranger helped the Pioneers quickly move the wagons into a
tight circle. Then the gunfire started. The Pamagers, who quickly
outnumbered the Pioneers, circled around the wagons, firing from the
(05:50):
back of their horses. The lone Ranger fought at the
side of Jim Prisbone. The first attack was driven off.
The Indians withdrew to the Hillstop alone ranger watched them
through binoculars, then said, here's me. Look through these glasses.
You see cap standers and the code of deck talking
(06:10):
to the Indian double crushers. You were right about him.
They double crossed you, and they lied about Dave Wingate
falling asleep at his post. How'd you know about wingd Gate?
I met him on the trail. Hearing the lull in battle,
the lone ranger told how he had met Dave Wingate
and learned of the attack. Then the Indians near the
(06:32):
hills hop out of gun range, showed signs of activity.
They're starting another attack. We've used more than half our ammunition.
Get hut, boys, we'll go down fighting. Every man inside
the circle of wagons knew that the end was near.
The Indians hew it too. They felt that victory within
(06:52):
their grasp. When puddenly new war cries sounded from the north.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Look over there more indians coming.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Are friendly Indians? Members of a crow tribe? You mean
they're on our shime? Yes, Tuttle riding beside the chief.
There's Dave Wingate. Why as we're saved, jerebien s fairly ammunition,
let him have it. Tuttle and his friend changed the
tide of battle quickly. Many Indians went down. The other
(07:21):
tried to flee, but they were hotly pursued by the crows,
and it was easy to see that none would escape.
That night, in the light of campfires, Jim Frisbee told
the pioneers how Dave Wingate had been unfairly punished, and
(07:43):
man I say every one of that owes his life
to dave I didn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
We owe our lives to Tano and the Lone Ranger
