and the White Buffalo. Lieutenant Ripmastersspeaking officer of the one hundred first Cavalry
stationed at forid Apache. We're knownas the Fighting Blue Devils. To keep
peace in the territory we patrolled,it was necessary for us to sign treaties
(03:34):
with the Indians. These treaties werehonored and respected by both the white Man
and the Indians. To help theIndian we'd been given the detail of surveying
the territory and setting up certain boundarymarkers so that the Indians would know what
land was theirs and to show thewhite Man which parts of the territory belonged
to him. We were at workon this surveying and marketing job when we
became involved in a very unusual affair. It all began one morning when we
(03:58):

it. Yet many of your peoplewould change it. That's why we're here
(05:09):
to mark the boundary. So thatno white hunter will press pass upon the
buffalo of the Cherikawa. This iswhy you come. Yes, it is
good. When the sun leaves thesky, you will come to the camp

Once the great buffalo filled the landas far as the eye could see,

red man. How do you meanthe buffalo is more than game to my
(07:32):

very life. If the buffalo die, the Indian will soon follow, for
we cannot live without them. Gee, it is best for you to ride

I saw the whole thing ripped.It wasn't Commarie's fault. Oh yeah,
and then he saw it to rip. All right, suppose you start
(11:45):

So you have a side? Isright? I understand he's an engine Anie,
Yes he is. Well, I'ma white man. That makes me
right right or wrong? Isn't settledby the color of a man skin,
mister Garth, gim if some othermen can't you take the buffalo lip are
the others? My braves are bringingthem back. Good? See my braves
(12:09):

We'll be lucky, all of youto get out of this with your skins
trespassing and proaching on a Terracwa gamepreserve and deliberate violation of the peace treaty.
We just didn't know, Lieutenant,Shut up, Keller, Lieutenant,
(12:31):
You Indian lovers keep asking for it, don't you. The Buffalo hunters have
done more to stop the Redskins ina year than the army's done it.
Fatty, I've heard that theory.It's no good when you take a man's
living away and back him into acorner. He'll fight any man if I
ever see you on Tirocara hunting groundagain. And that goes for the rest
of him. Oh wait, wedon't want no trouble, Lieutenant Keller.
(12:52):
I told you, why aren't you, Lieutenant? Did you just get us
out of this? That's all comeAwi, Yes, Lieutenant masters, if
you let these men go in peace, I promise you that they will not
return. Let him go. I'myour horse, mister Garth, all right,
(13:15):
Remember you owe your lives to theseIndians. I ain't forgetting when I
owe that, Kamarwi, Lieutenant,that's for real. Sure. Garth and
his pals were playing a very recklessgame. It never pays to defy the
(13:39):
United States government, never, Andwe were the representatives of Uncle Sam in
the West, put there to keephis laws and his treaties. Kamawi showed
what great faith and honor he hadfor our agreements. But something happened that
same night, something so awful thatthe Apaches wanted revenge, revenge and blood
the white man. I'll be backto tell you the rest of the story
(14:03):
in just a minute. Say,kids, if you've been wondering how rusty
trains Rinny to do all those tricks. Listen carefully, I'm going to let
you in on the secret. Firstof all, keep the lessons short.
Secondly, and most important, givehim milk bone dog biscuit as a reward.
When your dog knows that he's goingto get a reward of milk bone
for learning his tricks, well youjust watch how fast he learns. And
(14:26):
milk bone is good for your dog. It gives him the vitamins, minerals,
and proteins that he needs for goodhealth. In fact, milk bone
dog biscuit is packed with more energyper pound than prime beefsteak. But milk
bone does even more than supply yourdog with a nourishment he requires. It
gives him the chewing and gnawing exercisehe should have for strong teeth and healthy
gums, without the fear of dangerousbone splinters. So just ask Mom to
(14:50):
get milk bone dog biscuits in thefamous red and yellow box the next time
she goes shopping. It comes inthree sizes, small, medium, and
large, a size for every dog. All good dogs deserve milk bomb.
And now back to the adventures ofRen ten ten, Lieutenant Ripmasters again,
(15:16):
Garth and Keller and the other twomen rode away, but there was hate
and vengeance and Garth's every action andin his eyes. I had a feeling
that we hadn't heard the last ofthem, but I was hopeful. That
night, all of us made ourway to the camp of the cherikawas we
all gathered around the huge council fire. Once we were settled, the peace
(15:37):
pipe was passed to me by Sakaro, the chief of the Cherikawas I drew
the smoke in and then exhaled theblue smoke into the cool night air.
Then I passed on the pipe toChief Sakaro. We make prayer, too,
great spirit, that our hearts maynever be far apart, no farther
(15:58):
apart than our hands are at thiscouncil par Amen. Look at the red
(16:23):
devils down there. Yeah, I'veseen having a hot time, ain't they.
Yeah, And I'll cool him off. Put that right away. You're
the one who's got akolof like Phillipsand Magruder said, you're pushing this thing
too far. But they know aboutit. When I was a kid,
a pat He's killed my folks,oh redskins, putting his hand on me
(16:44):
and living he let you go,didn't he? You're still wearing your hair?
Quick what you're eating. When Iget even, I'll quit. And
then I go with Phillips and Mgooder. Our business is hunting buffalo, not
men. Then go killer, butmake sure you're keep going and keep out
of my way from now on,because if there's one colorist skin I hate
as much as red, it's yellow. Heaven. My son has told me
(17:21):
much of the courage and wisdom ofthe small frame Corpo rusty. May his
eyes behold the white buffalo. Whitebuffalo. Yeah, I've never seen one.
Few men have among my people.It is told that when the white
buffalo appears, the great spirit smileson you. No man may see him
(17:42):
more than once, little brother,and then only when his lead is greatest.
Did you know about the white buffalo. It's a famous legend, rusting
even a song. A song,mm hmm. I'm not much of a
singer, but I think I doremember the words. Well, go on,
(18:03):
hell the legend, white friend.I have heard many stories from an
old Indian friend, and this ismy favorite. Even though it has no
end, great right, I haveto try to remember the lines. There's
an old Indian legend I was toldlong ago it's about a special valley in
(18:25):
the white buffalo. Thanks. Ohah. There are few who have seen him,
though they've looked high and low,for the trail is long and whining
to the white buffalo, The legendsays, you'll find him if your heart
is brave and true, and youtreat all men as brothers, no matter
what they do. I have searchedfor that valley since I started to grow.
(18:49):
I won't stop until I find itand the white buffalo, for I
know it's right to find the whitebuffalo. Mind the white buffalo, white
brothers. It is good. Iwill send for a medicine. Man,
(19:25):
father, Oh, stay with me, my son. I go on a
long journey to a better hunting ground. Perhaps I will see him the canyon.
Ah, good hunting cheese. Okay, hang on away with tennant,
(19:56):
was guard O'Hara sent, pulling backto the post with the supply wagon.
Then alert the entire command the restof you men matter, we're going,
honey, sir, what about me, sir, man's dangerous ross. You
stay here with rennage till we getback. Yes, yes, come Awi,
(20:18):
it is for me to find him. It is for my people to
punish. He's as guilty by ourlaw as he is by yours. Let
him answer to his own people.No, I'm the new chief. I
will avenge the death of my father. There's been too much bloodshed between your
people and mind for either side todictate the law. You can't sacrifice the
peace for one man. If thelong knives choose to fight that you're a
(20:41):
cover because of God, and wewill fight to the death. Don't you
see That's what Garth would want.Red man against white. And once the
treaty is broken and the wars begin, right or wrong won't matter anymore,
and only men like Garth can win. You speak the truth. We will
search for this man together, andyou will deliver him to the justice of
(21:02):
your own people. Thank you,Kamawis. But if he is not punished,
then the treaty is made of lies, and I will fight a truthful
way rather than keep a dish honestpeace. USh, Really, it's more
(21:26):
than already. You have been gonean awful long time. I think he
got away. Just rip and Kamaliwill catch up with them, all right.
I think she'd have taken us along. You anyway, you're the best
tracker in the territory. God getsaway tomorrow, he's gonna be awful mad
the sure college might even go onthe warpath. Then we have to fight
(21:48):
him because we're soldiers. We don'twant that. I like Kamali. What
do we do? Hey, Igot it? You want to follow this
trail? Let me get on myhorse. Okay, Rennie, we'll find
(22:08):
him. What you got, Rennie? Horse? You nail? Not from
a cavalry horse either. Minnie andpoonies don't wear shoes. Hasn't been here
(22:33):
long? No rust. We're onthe right track, boy, what is
it? I understand we're closer thanI thought. We'll gohazy from now on.
We'll leave my horse back there.Ready, you'd better be quiet.
Okay, Rennie? Where is he? You want us to crawl through the
(22:55):
brush? All right, let's go, Holly. Here he is, Michael
Luis make gun. It's worse saucethan rare. I got a son given
(23:30):
to be a habit a kid.If you cover and leave with my own
gun, this will be the lasttime mister really find masters and Kamali bring
him here quick. Sure you knowhow to use that gun, Sonny.
It's one way to find out.I think it over. I'm gonna take
(23:51):
that chance. Kid, that ornot? No use, kid, I
figured it out. All that guffabout men being brothers. You really believe
that you wouldn't plug your own broday? Now? Would you? Don't try?
You take it far anyway? Thehorse ran off. The masters will
be here in a minute. Youstill have to catch me. Let you
(24:14):
put a butt in my back.I go, bass you I got the
football staffe. Hey, that's tryit this way. I got get out
(24:37):
of here. I can't wait.You don't try. I'll make you away.
He's easy. The white buffalo,a white Buffleoly, did you see
(25:14):
her? The white buffalo? Hewas right there. We saw nothing,
little brother, but he was there. God, try to get away and
he got caught in a stampede.I almost did too well, right behind
me, then I fell. Ilooked up and I saw him. He
was there. If he was,wait, think he was, look well,
(25:41):
befollo heard it stopped. I can'texplain it. Never heard of a
buffalo stampede stopping for anything? Whocan explain it? If the little one
saw him, or if he didnot, it is of no importance.
For his heart is brave and true, as the legend says it must be.
And perhaps he has seen the whitebuffalo. Who can say I did,
(26:07):
really, I did see him.Goodbye, Come Ali, welcome back
Sunday. We will pound today's littlebrother. Come praise a can come up,
(26:32):
Let it go out to their heart? And man, how's this song
going? With the legend says you'llfind him if your heart is brave and
true and you treat all men asbrothers, no matter what they do.
Gosh, I have searched for thatvalley syd and I started to grow.
(26:55):
I won't stop until I find itin a white buffalo. Surprise. Mistermorrow,
Hey, Rusty, what have yougot there? It's a prison for
you. All the cast Lieutenant,Masters, Gudge and O'Hara, myself,

Rusty. Certainly a prison. Whatdo you know? Rennie is giving
me a box of milk bone dogbiscuits. Oh, Rennie, mister Morrow
doesn't use milk phone dogs. Ohthat's okay, Rusty. I've got a
dog at my house who will reallyappreciate this present. And besides, I
(27:40):
know what Renny meant. He wantedto give me what he thought was the
best present in the world. Likeall dogs, Rennie loves milk bone dog
biscuits. That's why I always rewardRennie was milkebone and don't forget milk bone
dog biscuits is packed with proteins,minerals, and vitamins and supplies more food
energy for pound than prime beefsteak.So kids, ask mom to get your

(28:04):
size. Take a size to suitevery dog, and your dog will love
no Phone dog Biscuits. Boom.As soon as come Away and his braves
were out of sight, we mountedour horses and headed back before Apache.
We didn't talk. We just remainedquiet with our thoughts, and the words
(28:30):
of the song seemed to come back. If your heart is brave and true,
Yes, we are all brothers.You know, almost every man has
some particularly trying time in his life, and one of our troopers went through
such a stage, Corporal Boom.It all began when Boone decided to leave
(28:52):
the service and get married. Thewhole business became quite involved and very exciting.
One man in our outfit frowned onthe whole affair one, Sogeant O'Hara.
