(02:23):
for a s Early one morning,Buckeye Norton, the foreman at the Paradise
Mine, entered the office of alawyer named Haspsollen in the town of Gunstock.
As BUCKYE closed the door, hesaid, yes, I hear the

(02:46):
post in Pemonia last night. Hedid, Buckeye, I I'll be the
older of the Paradise Mine. FeteMarvel thought a lot of you, and
he thought more of his own fleshand blood. Hm. Hm, you'll
get the money and if Pete's nephewJohnny dies before he claims if and takes
over. What those are the termsof Pete's will that's on file with the

(03:07):
Tom Clerk. I thought all thepilatives were dead. Johnny's the only one
alive. Kill him before he getslegal possession of the mine. And it's
yours. You're talking murder. Itwouldn't be your first. What you and
the man named Dobie raps and killedand robbed a rancher and pakos twenty one
years ago? And how'd you knowthat Dobe signed the confession before he died.

(03:31):
I have the confession naming you ashis partner. What I've kept quiet
about the crime because I knew whatPete Marvel thought of you. I figured
someday you'd own the Paradise mine.So that's it. I'll sell the confession
to you for half the mind.I can't kill Johnny Marvel. I'd be

(03:52):
the first one suspected of the murder. Make me half owner of the Paradise,
and I'll see that Johnny doesn't livelong enough to take the You made
a fucking pass. A couple ofweeks later, Buckeye came into the town
of Gunstock to why supplies for themine. After he bought what was needed,

(04:15):
he drove the buck board to Haspsolan'soffice and hurried inside. Yes,
I came to town an hour ago. I've heard from half a dozen people
at Johnny Marble's do in Gunstock sometimethis week. No one knows it,
but he'll arrive today. You toldme two days ago you plan to take
care of him before he hit down. I do, And why spread the
news he's coming? The law willthink the killer was on the lookout for

(04:38):
Johnny hoping to steal a lot ofmoney. That might fool a law But
it doesn't sound smart to me.I don't care how it sounds to you.
I'm running the risk in this killing. I want to be sure no
one suspects the real reason for it. H End me my rifle, will
you. It's in the corner nearthe door. Yeah. Sure. This

(05:00):
is a mighty odd looking sharps.What's different about it? It's a left
handed rifle. What do you meanleft handed? The knob that ejects the
cartridges is in the left side insteadof the right. You left handed?
Yes? Where you going with therifle? Johnny Marvel will ride along the
old covered wagon trail toward town sometimethis afternoon. You sure I had a

(05:23):
letter from him last week telling methe time he planned to arrive. I'll
find a hiding place above the trailand wait for him. Good luck.
Don't worry. When I get backto town, he'll be dead. The
Lone Ranger's Indian friend Tatto, hadalso been in Gunstock to buy supplies.

(05:46):
When he returned to camp in thehills, a short distance from the old
covered wagon trail. You have badnews for his masked friend won't come home

and his Indian friend raced downhill.Before they reached the bottom of a heavily

(06:51):
wooded slope, they saw a riderhurrying away, someone in big hurry get
away. You must have seen hiscudding. Maybe a powerful fire cop.
Look down there on the tail,hawn, you see how hurt. A

(07:16):
few minutes later, the lone Rangerand Toto to the rain beside the still
form of Johnny Markle. As Totoexamined his wound, the young Easterner's eyes
open and take it easy, Indian. He can't help you. How bad
is the wound? Toto not bad? He thinking, be all right?
Good you your mask? The maskneed alarm you. We're here at friends

(07:40):
friends. Who are you? Ifyou have my wallet? You know my
name identification papers? Are we notshoot you? You didn't. If we
had, we wouldn't be trying tohelp you. Now. I didn't think
of it when I saw your mask. I understand my name's John Martin.
Are you Pete Marble's nephew? Yes? How don't I knew your uncle?

(08:03):
Well, huh, I didn't knowhe had any outlaw friends. He knew
what my mask meant. Huh No, no offense, mister. I appreciate
your effort to help me. Ohwere you robbed? I don't know.
I lost consciousness when the bullet knockedme from the saddle. I I'll see
him. My wallet's missing. Iguess I better take it easy. My

(08:30):
wallet's in the breast pocket of mycoach. Uh see if it's gone,
what about it too? Here wallet? Is there any money left in it?
Any paper money? Here? Andthen he didn't take any Apparently he
didn't have time. What do youmean we carry him off? Oh?
Well, you're banging his wound.Howto I'll look for tracks. When the

(09:00):
last man rejoined Toto and the woundedEastern Ere, Johnny was sitting up,
grinning sheepishly. I owe you anapoloty oh. Tando told me who you
are years ago. My uncle mentionedin one of his letters i'd almost forgotten,
and told Tanda explained how you metUncle Pete. He was a good
friend of ours. I I amgrateful to you for helping me. I'm

(09:22):
glad we were near when you neededthis. A Toto if you'll come at
me, I'll show you where theambusher waited for Johnny. A few minutes
later, the Lone Ranger, Totoand Johnny Marble rode to the place above

(09:43):
the trail where hasp Sullen had waitedfor his victim. Toto pointed to the
ground track show ambusher life flat andmake mark there to a boot. He
aimed his rifle from that position.Why do you say that? Here's the

(10:03):
infant of his elbow. He usedthat arm to support his rifle. You'll
notice his right arm and elbow supportthe weapon. Ah. The map meaning
pull trigger was left hand. Yes, the man we want is left handed.
It's remarkable that you're able to learnso much from tracks on the ground
once you've been trained to observe him, Johnny, facts are easier to read

(10:24):
than handwriting on the wall. Nevertheless, that steady. Sorry, wait,
you lean on me, say withToto while I follow the tracks of the
man who fired those shots. I'llsee all right. You better take it
easy for a while. I seeyou later, answer Johnny wants the Little

(10:50):
Ranger right away, then turned toToto. I'll be able to ride the
town if I travel slowly I'd liketo get there before Doc. We not
reach town before dark. We couldtry, all right, Johnny, We'll

(11:11):
continue our lone ranger adventure in justa moment. God Champions, Yes,

way with Wheedy. Champions are made, not born. There's an adage that's
ever so true. For instance,slamming Sammy Snead a golfer as good as
they come. Young Sam learned golfthe only way. He practiced hours every

(11:35):
day, chipping them sharp, drivingthem long, and soon he learned what
keeps champs strong. Wheety's with milk. You can't go wrong today, Sam

Get on your way with Weedy.God's Champions today, not bar Yes,
sir, Get on your way,Get on your way, Get on

(12:30):
hasp Sullen returned to Gunstock. Afterhe lit a lamp in his office,
he lowered the shades carefully and concealedthe rifle. Then he headed for the
cafe. As he went through thebat wing doors, he saw Buckeye.
He hurried toward the big four him, Buckeye, what are you doing here?

(12:50):
I thought you went back to themine. I waited in tell him
purposely to see you. Let's goover to a table. I want to
sit down. Bring me the usualhand right you at white as a full
moon, I asked. I needsomething to steady my nerves. It's on
the way. Yeah, you justI leave the bottle. Thanks, I'll

(13:11):
mention it. I don't have toask. I can tell from the looks
of the other year. I gotJohnny Wobble. I got him, but
things didn't go as I planned.What do you mean? I fired twice.
First shot missed and his horse bucked, but the second hit him good.

(13:33):
He fell from the saddle. Hestretched out on the ground. Still
it's a rock. And just asI was about to go down there to
get his money, I saw riders. Riders, A couple of them coming
downhill fast. They must have heardthe shots. For a minute, I
wondered whether I had time enough togo down, steal his money, and
clear out, but they kept comingfast. I couldn't risk being seen,
so I cleared out without making sureJohnny's dead. I did my best.

(13:56):
Best was good enough. Where areyou going back to the mine? As
soon as his body's brought to town, let me know. If he's brought
in alive, we'll be in realtrouble. What do you mean you agreed
to kill him? Keep the bargain. Solan sat alone for some time,

(14:18):
then, deciding that someone would soonnotify the sheriff of the shooting, he
walked down the street to Sheriff Lemon'soffice. When he opened the door,
he was shocked to see Johnny Marbletalking to the lawman. An Indian was
with the young easterner. I didn'tmean to intrude, Sheriff. Yeah,
yeah, thanks, Sheriff. Heldyou hat your last names? Solon?

(14:39):
You're my uncle Pete's attorney. Yes, meet Julie Marble has that is,
if you haven't met him before.We've never met, but I've had letters
from mister Solan since my uncle died. I'm glad to meet you, Johnny.
Johnny is lucky to be here.Really, he stopped a drag Uaches
bullet. If Tando and his friendhadn't helped me, I might have died

(15:00):
loss of blood before I could reachtown. They would just give me a
report of shooting. We still wethink left handed man shoot Johnny. How
could you tell that? Well?There are plenty sign very easy to see.
Mark on the ground showed that theman who shot me was lying flat
on the ground when he pulled thetrigger. He rested his rifle and his

(15:22):
right arm and elbow. See hecome to think of it as you were
left handed? Yes, what's more, you own the special left handed shirts
you jick you nubs on the leftside instead of the right. If you're
suggesting that I shot Johnny, I'mnot suggesting anything. The fact that I'm
left handed may be suspicious, butthere are a lot of left handed men

(15:43):
in the world, And mister Solent, I just thought of something else.
You were the only one who knew, and I planned to arrive and everyone
in town. You get here sometimethis week, Johnny. But I wrote
to mister Solon telling him I'd arrivedtoday, eh, and he knew you
be on the covered wagon trails afternoon. Of course he did. In my
letter I told him I planned tobuy a horse and saddle when I got

(16:06):
off the train in Moland City,twenty miles from here. Stand still,
better a god, what's your idea? Has your hands high? All of
you? We better do what I'msaying. You have good sense, redskin
drawn? That gun is an admissionof guilty. That's the least of my
worries right now. So you're werethe one who shot me? I meant
to kill you. Why that's mybatter you. Look who did you?

(16:26):
You can't get away with holding thehere if you fair three shots the whole
tunnel. Come on the run toinvestigate. I know that. Put down
the gun. Not on your life, Sheriff. We're leaving here to go
across the street to my office wherewe'll not be interrupted. Furst, Johnny,
disarm the sheriff and your Indian friend. Now wait a minute, follow
Waris and don't try a fast move. All right. When the three prisoners

(16:55):
were disarmed, Hasp said, nowlead the way out the door and across
the street to my office. Johnny, the Indian will be behind you,
and the sheriff will walk in frontof me. My gun will be at
his back every step of the way. If either of you try to get
away or call for help while we'rein the open, I'll blow a hole
through the Sheriff's bag, You dirtyskull. Remember his life is in your

(17:18):
hands. I'll start moving, concealinghis gun as carefully as possible. Asp
followed the prisoners across the deserted street. He watched the three men so closely,
but he didn't notice a moving shadowrevealed for a moment in his lighted

(17:40):
office. But Toado saw it andhope that the drawn shades on the office
window has concealed his masked friend.Keep moving, Sheriff, were almost to
the door. If I get outof this alive, I'll see that you
spend the rest of your life behindus. A door lock, yes,
am I supposed to walk through it. I'll toss the key to the step,
pick it up and unlock the door. But don't try a fast move.

(18:03):
I could think of a fast movethat wouldn't endanger the Sheriff's life.
I try and step inside. Youfollow him, Indian, then you Shriff
Tato was close on Johnny's heels.As the young Easterner entered the office.
Out of the corner of his eye, the Indian saw the masked man standing
against the wall behind the door.Seeing Toto's upraised hands, the lone Ranger

(18:26):
understood the situation. He drew hisgun. What shirt inside, I'll close
the door all right too, right, keep your hands high top the gun.
The lone Winger spoke. He broughtthe barrel of his colt down hard
against Hasp's thin wrist. The lawyer'sgun flew from his hand, and he
screamed in pain, WI you propmy wrist. Toto stooped quickly to retrieve

(18:48):
the gun. The lawyer had droppedthe gun. Give up me, Good
work, Tuttle, mister, yousaved on a line. Hey, what's
going on here? Who's the message? Him? Friend Sherif she proved he's
a friend, I discermining that Telepaelawyer. But that mass heraf he's the
lone ranger the ringer, Yes,he and Tondo found me on the trail
after half shop. Well, mister, I'm don glad to meet you,

(19:11):

rifle. I was going to youroffice to tell you what I learned when
I heard you coming this way.You know the rest well, hasp,

across his feet. Start walking.Let me talk. You've got nothing to
talk about. This wasn't my idea. Sherf buck Eye planted. He wanted

(19:55):
me to kill Johnny Perfoeman at theParadise Mine. Yes, but I don't
even know him. According to theterms of your uncle's will, Buckeye will
inherit the mine if you die beforetaking legal possession of the property and without
leaving any airs. Buckeye offered mehalf of the mind. If I killed
Johnny, it'll be your word againstbooks. He's a criminal, Sheriff,

The lawman read it rapidly. This'llhang book ahead. I told you
