This is the true story of Sam Bass, sometimes called
the robin Hood of Texas, and I want to say
(02:45):
right now that Sam Bass was no robin Hood. He
wasn't much different than any modern gangsters. He started out
with the same chance to be an honest American citizen,
but he ended up one of the most feared train
robbers in the whole Southwest. The strange part of it
was that in his youth, Sam Bass was nicknamed Honest
(03:08):
Eve and had a job working for Sheriff Dad Eganer
of Denton County. Later, he fell in with Joel Collins
and his gang and started robin stage coaches. But popular
belief to the contrary, they found there wasn't much money
in that, so they decided to hold up a Union
Pacific train. On September eighteenth, eighteen seventy seven, Joel Collins
(03:33):
and Sam Bass with four more companions, rolled into Big Springs,
Texas about sundown that night, a few minutes before all
number four was due to come puffing into town. The
six train robbers were ready for it.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Getaway, and F. M. F.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Leech, a store keeper who had sold it to him,
recognized it. He trailed the bandits all by himself, and
one night, while they were gathered around their campfire, Leech
called up behind the clump of mesquiet and saw him

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Just say, I swear I will never reveal to anybody
the names of the men who helped hold up the
up trade.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But they didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Even while they were discussing their plans and swear in
eternal silence, storekeeper mister Leech was listening and watching. Next day,
why the Express Office in Omahar, a description of the
six men and the roads they'd be traveling.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
In a few days, three of the men was.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Dead shot down by a Posseys. Sam Bass escaped to
Denton County and organized a new gang of bandits. He
hit out near Cove Holler, and a farmer named Jim
Murphy often bought food for Sam or give him shelter
in his house in Exchange where.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Up double Eagles.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But finally Jim Murphy was arrested for protecting an assistant
Sam and his men. They put him on the train
to take him to Thailand. Some say Murphy was a
yellow dog, and some say.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Was a brave man who risked his life to help rid.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Texas a dangerous outlaw. But anyway, on the train, Murphy
thought of a way he could save his own net.

If the district attorney will drop those charges.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, I'm talking over with them. Maybe you'll see it
your way. But mind, Joe, I don't make it wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Well, the district attorney agreed to the plan Jim Murphy outlined,
and to make it still easier for Murphy to join Bass,
they fixed it so it looked like Murphy had jumped
his bond and run away. So A few weeks after
Murphy joined up with Bass in his outfit, Murphy sent
word to us Marshall Johnson that Sam Bass was gonna

hold up the bank and round Lock. By this time,
Sam and his men were camped near a cemetery outside

the Old Rangers. True stories of Death Valley Days made
possible by your regular purchases of twenty Mule Team Borox,
twenty Mule Team Borox soap chips, and Baraxo. Since this
started out as a cleanup program, we'd like to say
(24:37):
a few words about Baraxo, the modern hand soap that
cleans dirty hands. We're sure that every member of the
family will like Baraxo because it not only helps remove
all kinds of dirt, but it leaves the hands feeling
soft and smooth. That's because Baraxo is a special combination
of fine torodded soap and pure borox in powder porn.
(24:58):
There's no grit or caustic in barac so nothing to
roughen or redden the hands. Best of all, Baraxo works
quickly and efficiently.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
In any kind of water, hotter, cold, hard or.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Soft, and its rich, creamy lather gets right down into pores,
increases underfingernails, and floats out dirt. If your family hasn't
tried baraxos, get a few cans tomorrow and see how
enthusiastic they'll become over this new modern hand cleaner. Put
a can of Paraxo in the garage or basement for Dad.
You'll soon find that Paraxo helps remove automobile grease and
(25:32):
oil or ground in garden dirt. Set a can of
Paraxo in the bathroom for the children.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
They'll be delighted at the.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Quick, easy way Paraxo removes stubborn play dirt.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
From hands, elbows, and knees.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Finally, keep a can of Paraxo on the sink. You'll
find it's just the thing to help remove kitchen stains
and odors from your hands. Paraxo is packed in a
smart looking red, white and black metal can with a
handy poor top it's on sale at grocery, drug and

This is the true story of Sam Bass, sometimes called
the robin Hood of Texas, and I want to say
(02:45):
right now that Sam Bass was no robin Hood. He
wasn't much different than any modern gangsters. He started out
with the same chance to be an honest American citizen,
but he ended up one of the most feared train
robbers in the whole Southwest. The strange part of it
was that in his youth, Sam Bass was nicknamed Honest
(03:08):
Eve and had a job working for Sheriff Dad Eganer
of Denton County. Later, he fell in with Joel Collins
and his gang and started robin stage coaches. But popular
belief to the contrary, they found there wasn't much money
in that, so they decided to hold up a Union
Pacific train. On September eighteenth, eighteen seventy seven, Joel Collins
(03:33):
and Sam Bass with four more companions, rolled into Big Springs,
Texas about sundown that night, a few minutes before all
number four was due to come puffing into town. The
six train robbers were ready for it.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
His color, boys, Hey, Sam Bass, what is it?

He got sixty thousand dollars in gold off that Uan
Pacific trade. The only trouble was one of the gang
lost his mandana in the.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Getaway, and F. M. F.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Leech, a store keeper who had sold it to him,
recognized it. He trailed the bandits all by himself, and
one night, while they were gathered around their campfire, Leech
called up behind the clump of mesquiet and saw him
and divide the gold.
Speaker 3 (07:26):

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Then, all right?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
How to do it?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Just say, I swear I will never reveal to anybody
the names of the men who helped hold up the
up trade.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But they didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Even while they were discussing their plans and swear in
eternal silence, storekeeper mister Leech was listening and watching. Next day,
why the Express Office in Omahar, a description of the
six men and the roads they'd be traveling.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
In a few days, three of the men was.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Dead shot down by a Posseys. Sam Bass escaped to
Denton County and organized a new gang of bandits. He
hit out near Cove Holler, and a farmer named Jim
Murphy often bought food for Sam or give him shelter
in his house in Exchange where.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Up double Eagles.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But finally Jim Murphy was arrested for protecting an assistant
Sam and his men. They put him on the train
to take him to Thailand. Some say Murphy was a
yellow dog, and some say.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Was a brave man who risked his life to help rid.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Texas a dangerous outlaw. But anyway, on the train, Murphy
thought of a way he could save his own net.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Allison, Jim, why don't you do the smart thing and
tell me everything you know.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
About Sam Bass.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
I'm told all I know, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't know where he is.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
I'm not one of his gang, all right, my Land,
I guess you've got that to serve your time.
Speaker 2 (09:44):

Speaker 6 (09:52):
If I help the government gets Sam Bass.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Would you drop the charges against me and apartment brother.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
I can't promise anything like that up to the district attorney.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Look, I can join Sam Besson's gang.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
I know I can't.
Speaker 1 (10:05):

Try to get away. I'll do it, I swear I will.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
If the district attorney will drop those charges.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, I'm talking over with them. Maybe you'll see it
your way. But mind, Joe, I don't make it wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Well, the district attorney agreed to the plan Jim Murphy outlined,
and to make it still easier for Murphy to join Bass,
they fixed it so it looked like Murphy had jumped
his bond and run away. So A few weeks after
Murphy joined up with Bass in his outfit, Murphy sent
word to us Marshall Johnson that Sam Bass was gonna
(10:56):
hold up the bank and round Lock. By this time,
Sam and his men were camped near a cemetery outside

Speaker 6 (24:07):
Goodbye, Sam heerce part come your old pals.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Jerks, fame persons first square, and so ends another of
the Old Rangers. True stories of Death Valley Days made
possible by your regular purchases of twenty Mule Team Borox,
twenty Mule Team Borox soap chips, and Baraxo. Since this
started out as a cleanup program, we'd like to say
(24:37):
a few words about Baraxo, the modern hand soap that
cleans dirty hands. We're sure that every member of the
family will like Baraxo because it not only helps remove
all kinds of dirt, but it leaves the hands feeling
soft and smooth. That's because Baraxo is a special combination
of fine torodded soap and pure borox in powder porn.
(24:58):
There's no grit or caustic in barac so nothing to
roughen or redden the hands. Best of all, Baraxo works
quickly and efficiently.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
In any kind of water, hotter, cold, hard or.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Soft, and its rich, creamy lather gets right down into pores,
increases underfingernails, and floats out dirt. If your family hasn't
tried baraxos, get a few cans tomorrow and see how
enthusiastic they'll become over this new modern hand cleaner. Put
a can of Paraxo in the garage or basement for Dad.
You'll soon find that Paraxo helps remove automobile grease and
(25:32):
oil or ground in garden dirt. Set a can of
Paraxo in the bathroom for the children.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
They'll be delighted at the.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Quick, easy way Paraxo removes stubborn play dirt.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
From hands, elbows, and knees.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Finally, keep a can of Paraxo on the sink. You'll
find it's just the thing to help remove kitchen stains
and odors from your hands. Paraxo is packed in a
smart looking red, white and black metal can with a
handy poor top it's on sale at grocery, drug and
department store. Remember Paraxo Queen's dirty hands, quickly and gently.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Now let's hear what the old Ranger has in store
for next Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Well dresser. Although most folks don't know it, a piece
of the famous Plymouth Rock is set in the brick
wall of the courthouse of a Death Valley mining town.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
How this rock got there and what it means.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Makes a mighty interesting story. I hope that all the
school children will be listening in because I'm sure they'll
enjoy this unusual program. Remember, folks, next Tuesday evening at
