Speaker 1: A fiery heart for the speed of light, a cloud
of dust, and a hardy hi old silver, the Lone.
Speaker 2: Rangers and.
Speaker 1: A criminals, but his instinct for fair play was only
exceeded by his courage. Whenever a man deserved a second chance,
he received it. And I'll return with us to those
thrilling days when the West was young. From out of
the past. From the thundering hoof beats of the great
horse Silver, the Lone Ranger rides again.
Speaker 3: Along Silver.
Speaker 4: We're hanging for Dolphon Thomas, playing on the sailor hat.
Speaker 1: Si Knight overtook the Lone Ranger and his faithful Indian
companion Toto as they rode toward Dawton. The rangers face
was disguise, and the two men stopped at a large
ranch house near the town. They talked with the ranchers,
watered their horses, and then continued on their way.
Speaker 3: I'd better put on my asking now. How the uh.
There's something about that man and I didn't like hell.
Her name Kirby, Yes, Nick Kirby. He's too shrewd looking.
He seemed suspicious of every move we made. I'm not
right and he's a lawyer.
Speaker 5: How you know that that's aw his certificate on the wall.
What would a lawyer from the east be doing here?
And what would he want with the ranks as large
as that? One of his mean hunt? No and another thing?
Speaker 3: Those too common.
Speaker 5: We saw him with them plenty, tough teller. One of
them at least was an outlaw. Scar Larkin, you know, yes,
he's wanted in Kansas. I wonder what he's I'm shocked,
said he it come from there? It Scar, Come on,
it's woman in a dry couse.
Speaker 3: That's my solver.
Speaker 6: You drop from.
Speaker 7: Speak speaker right now.
Speaker 3: I don't you Kelly a right how to cut over?
Speaker 8: What you?
Speaker 7: Nick Kirby?
Speaker 3: No, I'm not Nick Kirby alive?
Speaker 9: Oh, thank the good.
Speaker 7: Lord, I didn't shoot you.
Speaker 10: He had been sid enough to kill Kirby as much
as the pole cat deserves killing, but to drilled the wrong.
Speaker 9: Man strangers, Oh, don't take me to the law. I
know it's wrong. I know it shouldn't have shut it.
Speaker 8: Why did you want to kill Kirby?
Speaker 9: Sole alive?
Speaker 10: And Doblin that wouldn't like to see that snake put
out of business?
Speaker 9: But there ain't no one dare to kill him.
Speaker 10: I reckon I'm the only one in town that be
willing to face the music.
Speaker 3: I don't understand there, you're strangers.
Speaker 7: You're wearing a mask.
Speaker 9: Yes, outlaw, I can't hold that against you.
Speaker 10: My husband, he he was wanted to the law to
thank you. Most everyone in town has wanted for the
law for something or other. But they're living good lives now.
Speaker 5: There are lots of people who had made one mistake
in their lives, but most of them deserve the chance
to go straight.
Speaker 9: And so did my husband.
Speaker 7: He shucks.
Speaker 9: What's the use of talking about it.
Speaker 11: I'd like to hear about it.
Speaker 9: Yes, he did, he get into tried to shoot you.
Speaker 3: What about the lawyer, Nick Kirby.
Speaker 10: What do you think of a man that did break
up a family?
Speaker 9: That's what Kirby done.
Speaker 3: He did.
Speaker 10: Yes, my husband is in the army. He'd done a
double turned guard dude and fell asleep. They was going
to court marshal him, and so to save his life,
he deserted. But years ago, even before he was married.
Somehow this lawyer could have learned about it, and he
told him just but he told everyone else in towns
turn over half his cavalary'd.
Speaker 3: Squeal, so that accounts for his large ranch.
Speaker 10: Every cown steer on that ranch was took from some
men and bought silent. Lem refused to pay tribute to Kirby,
so Kirby turned him over to the government and got
a fifty dollars bounty for us.
Speaker 3: Kirby has been doing that sort of thing all along.
Speaker 9: Sure he had more and rich kunk. Everyone had liked
her kill him, but they don't dare do it. He's
got it fixed.
Speaker 10: So if something happens to him, all he knows and
everything he has on folks will fall into the hands.
Speaker 8: Of the law.
Speaker 9: So instead of drilling him, everyone has to protect him.
Speaker 2: What don't matter.
Speaker 9: There's nothing more he can do to me.
Speaker 3: Does he have outlaws working for him?
Speaker 10: Sure, when a man can afford to pay him what
he demands, he makes a poor critit work.
Speaker 9: He's wrench for him.
Speaker 3: Not what youth.
Speaker 10: Well, you've got my story, Now what are you gonna do?
Speaker 9: Turn me over to the law.
Speaker 5: Yes, a most everyone makes a mistake in a lifetime,
knows to see the mistake and change to become good citizens.
Speaker 3: Or sometimes it's better than those who have never made
a mistake. I'm glad you told me the story a
Stranger we're going to make.
Speaker 1: In the town of Dalton, two men were talking with
Sheriff Allen in the lawman's office.
Speaker 11: All right, Charlie speaker, You fellows didn't drop in for nothing.
Let's have it.
Speaker 4: Well, well, she if it's like this, yeah, or you
tell him Hank, you said you'd do the talking child
you could get out. Well, it's about about Homer dud
Wale's missus.
Speaker 11: You mean, the wife of fellow Nick Kirby turned in
for the HM.
Speaker 3: Well, it's like this, Sheriff.
Speaker 4: She's mighty head up again, the lawyer, and we sort
of got a notion you'd better keep an eye on her.
Speaker 11: Seems to me who might have worried about Nick's health?
Speaker 4: Well, Sheriff, he ain't a bad fellow, but and you
wouldn't want to kill him your county, would you.
Speaker 11: You fellows ain't fooling me, huh. Tain't Nick's hide you're
worrying about it's your own? Do you think I'm blind?
I see things and I've got them pretty well figured out.
There's nothing And if you'd like better than to drill Nick,
but you know the whole town will get in trouble.
Speaker 3: If you do, very sheriff.
Speaker 4: Shucks, where'd you get a notion like daddy? Well, it's
just that we wouldn't want to see any fellow shot
let alone. What has happened to missus?
Speaker 7: Dardweal everyone, I'll watch her, gosh, chef, that's just it.
Speaker 11: You don't think something's happening to nick already?
Speaker 3: Jolly good?
Speaker 7: What the TSK man?
Speaker 11: Don't care a stranger?
Speaker 3: Get these men out of here.
Speaker 4: I'm talking to you alone, by colap hey, Hey, don't
port that coming yet?
Speaker 11: Out by thunder. I'm not law here. What's the meaning
of this?
Speaker 3: I'll explain when these men are gone. All right, you
to them. I'll see that you go and keep on going.
Walk ahead of me.
Speaker 7: We're going.
Speaker 3: Just he's up on the tiger finger, won't you?
Speaker 7: Yeah, don't don't do nothing.
Speaker 3: Be sorry for her?
Speaker 4: Those your horses, I say, mister, get mounted, sure, sure
anything you say, but we've ever done you no harm.
Speaker 3: Strange any follow up?
Speaker 9: What order?
Speaker 3: Start riding, and don't stop If I catch.
Speaker 7: You back here, there'll be trouble.
Speaker 3: We ain't coming back, honest, ain't.
Speaker 12: Let's will help you get started on your way, stranger
Whatton Blake.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure our talk wouldn't be interrupted.
Who's in that cell there?
Speaker 3: Huh? Him?
Speaker 11: Oh, that's just old Zeke Bagley. He's in jail half
the time, but deserving the peace or something.
Speaker 3: I don't want our talk to be heard.
Speaker 11: Don't pay him no mind. He's been over the cafe
and now he's sleeping at all. But dog Gonnet, who
are you to be asking me questions? You are a
mighty high handed for a crook.
Speaker 3: We met once before, sir, quite a long time ago.
Speaker 11: Yeah you don't remember me. I can't say as I do.
Maybe you're on one of the reward notices I got
filed away, But i'd have to see you without that
mask to make sure.
Speaker 3: I have a horse called Silver Silver the friend an Indian. MA,
well i'll be do you remember? Well?
Speaker 11: I should smile? Call him? I was mistaken you for
an outlaw. I must be getting old and useless to
make a mistake like that.
Speaker 5: Tell me something, Seriff, what do you think of Nick Kirby?
Speaker 11: Why that's low down onery sneaking. No account I have
heard is true.
Speaker 3: Would you help me bring him to justice? Ah?
Speaker 11: That's something can't be done.
Speaker 3: Why not.
Speaker 11: The lawyer is too slick. That's why you know what
he's done. He's left the letter with a banker to
be turned over to me in case he gets drilled. Yes,
I understand I ain't supposed to know what's in that letter,
but I got a pretty good notion. It tells where
he's hit the proof. He's got to get the Fellers
in town.
Speaker 3: Then you know about that too.
Speaker 11: Ha, I save you a heap more. And I'm give
him credit for around here. And I'm telling you straight out,
I'm on the side of the folks in town. I
don't want to have to see that evidence again him.
Maybe that ain't no way for a peace offer to talk.
But when folks are trying their level best to live
decent and honest, I says, give him a change, And.
Speaker 3: I still think something could be done.
Speaker 11: Well. Of course, if anything happen to that they're evidence,
like it burning up or something, then it couldn't be
given to me to.
Speaker 7: Act on, could it.
Speaker 3: But if the evidence is turned over to you, you'll
arrest the men.
Speaker 11: It implicates a man's got to do his sworn duty.
Speaker 3: Of course, Triff, you said you had a number of
reward notices on hand.
Speaker 11: Look at that desk over there, spum chuck, pull with them.
Speaker 5: I'll need two of them, huh, Two that don't carry pictures,
one describing an Indian outlaw and the other describing a
man about my build.
Speaker 11: I most likely got him.
Speaker 3: But what do you want? Heard? Nick Kirby hires outlaws,
and I'm a notion that.
Speaker 5: Wherever he's hitting the evidence against the men in town,
it isn't far from his house.
Speaker 11: But just between the two of us, friend, I'd say
the same. Like I told you, I ain't sublime. There's
some folks. Figure, then give me those notices. I'll do that.
Maybe it tain't just right, and I won't say that.
Maybe I don't suspicion a bit of what you've got
in mine.
Speaker 3: But if you can work it on for you, I'm
glad of that.
Speaker 11: Sheriff. Now let me see. No, this ain't the one.
Speaker 7: This ain't neither.
Speaker 11: I'm dead Reddit, Where did I put the shucks? Here's one.
It's for an engine of the knife, the US marshall
of a Wyoming way good, uh huh. And here's another
that will fit you fine. There you are and welcome,
thanks and mind you I don't know anything about this,
but man the man, it won't hurt to say the
kniping looking for a couple of good gunmen. He is
feeling as safe as he might these days.
Speaker 3: I can believe that.
Speaker 11: So here's wishing your luck. Nothing that suit me better
than to see the folks around here rest a.
Speaker 3: Little easier, and you I could depend on you.
Speaker 11: Would I be seeing you again?
Speaker 3: Nothing until I've taken care of Nick Curry?
Speaker 7: Hey, sure, what's that about lawyer? What that father say?
Don't want to come here?
Speaker 11: Won't you what he say when you wake up? Seek?
Speaker 7: I'm here? What that father say about fixing me? Kirby?
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 11: What he's saying now, Seke, don't you go getting excited.
Speaker 7: He's gunning for Nick Carbett, That's what he's doing. He's
gunning for the lawyer.
Speaker 11: You blame digit Im me out of here. Are you
sure you're sober enough to make it a.
Speaker 7: Dead ratherit chair? If I hadn't have been with that mask,
Dweller said, would have done it for me?
Speaker 11: Oh come on, I'll let me out, all right, all right,

that he said he was gonna get Nick Kirby.
Speaker 3: Nick Kirby.

If he gets Kirby, we were all.
Speaker 3: Headed for jail.
Speaker 7: Ain't I telling you that shit? Come on, get your guns,
get after the mask man. We gotta drop him before
he ruins off.
Speaker 1: Hunted by those he wants to help, The masked man
is faced for the difficult problem. As the curtain falls
on the first act of our Lone Ranger drama. Before
the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for
just a few moments. Mmmmm, Now to continue our story.
When the Lone Rangers plans were overheard and the citizens
of Dawnton decided to capture him, the masked man in
Tonto left the town for several days. We turned in
the night shortly after a thunder shower and went directly
to Nick Kirby's ranch.
Speaker 3: A couple of steps.
Speaker 7: Huh me, come.
Speaker 11: Out of my way.
Speaker 3: I don't want it all left open. What is this?
Speaker 8: What do you mean by breaking in here?
Speaker 7: We want cellar for the night. He was in a
blasted big hurry.
Speaker 6: Well, we don't care for strangers. Wait haven't I seen
this ending before that?
Speaker 7: Are you too?
Speaker 3: The West people don't ask questions like that.
Speaker 6: Why hold on, Bonnie Stranger, You wouldn't be keeping something
under cover with you?
Speaker 3: That's our business?
Speaker 8: Yes, well I'm making it my business.
Speaker 6: I've noticed before that people running from the law don't
like to talk.
Speaker 3: We're not outlaws, of course, not of course, not my device?
A down right ahead? Really? Will we've been working.
Speaker 6: Look, what's a matter of scar Yeah, it's trying to
just drop these papers out of his pocket, though, I'll
take a scar Fannie, watch the stranger in the Indians.
If to make a move, shoot, I'll keep an eye
and then flow her mind. Sure, that's why I'll look
them over. Hey you're Nick, well, well reward notices. You
wish you hadn't seen those, and quite an accurate description too.
Speaker 8: So you want to for murder?
Speaker 9: Huh, I'm don't lie to me.
Speaker 7: What's the other paper? Say?
Speaker 8: This is for the Indian? Be nice for the United States?

Speaker 6: No, well, the government's pretty sure you did. Offering five
hundred dollars for your captures and right pause, and there's
a thousand offered for this other fellow colleague.

Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 8: In the Indian? Good enough willing to show me?
Speaker 3: I am?

Speaker 3: We're not interested.
Speaker 8: I see you'd rather go to jail you turn us in?
Oh why not? You're worth money to me?
Speaker 6: Of course I'd rather not. I could use a couple
of good gun hands. But if you prefer jail, well,

realize that. And it's agreed.
Speaker 3: We don't want to go to jail.
Speaker 6: Good Scar, Yeah, you and Barney guard these men. Yeah,

Speaker 3: Wait, why are you putting those?
Speaker 6: Well, strangers, That's what nobody knows of myself, and no

I say.
Speaker 3: Nick's been gone ten minutes already. How far does he
have the goal?
Speaker 13: Angel?

Bring me another pair of books from my room right away. Nick,
I'll show those fellas what it means to cross Nick Kirby.
Speaker 1: Instead of racing away from the ranch, the Lone Ranger
and Tohoe held their mouths to a slow walk.
Speaker 3: The moon's beginning to break through the clouds. They'll be
able to see us, and that has to be good thing.
Speaker 5: When they say this, I'll break away at the first opportunity.
You keep on, but don't let them get within gun range.
They'll probably think I'm on ahead on home.
Speaker 3: Do that.
Speaker 5: I'll need an hour's time. I have to return to
the ranch right in the town and back to the
ranch again. Me keep them away and I'll meet you
on the hill overlooking Kirby's ranch house.
Speaker 3: Huh, there they are. They've seen us him right, and

their way expectation of the man that drills.
Speaker 7: They won't get away from my drill and blast your drill.
I don't think as upset and alive.
Speaker 1: Unknown to Nick Kirby, however, the mask man had written
off in another direction under cover of the trees. He
returned to the ranch, and then when he'd finished there,
raced into town. Hank and Charlie were in the cafe
and heard the distant hoo feats of the great horse silver.

They're not the men those bills described.
Speaker 9: You're crazy.
Speaker 7: The mask man's gone again, Blazers, if he gets you,

Speaker 9: Got away, the Indians still here, Redskin.
Speaker 6: You took us on that chase without any reason, and

Speaker 3: Left your ranch house to hide those reward notices. You
remember stepping into a mud puddle?
Speaker 7: Yes, but what's that?
Speaker 5: That wasn't mud, It was paint, todd, and I had
placed it there before we rode up to your place.
Speaker 3: The second time.
Speaker 7: Then then I walked in it and left tracks that
took me straight.
Speaker 3: To the evidence you've been concealing so carefully.
Speaker 7: You checked men, Boss.
Speaker 9: That must have been why the mask fella took your
boats away.
Speaker 7: He didn't want you to catch on to what you've done.
Speaker 4: I said exactly, And I think we fellas and town
was doing our best to stop your friend, Charlie.
Speaker 7: It just goes to show you never can tell when
you're well off.
Speaker 11: All right, Nick, you're going to jail fronto.
Speaker 9: But Sheriff, you know I had proof against these men.
You know the mask man.
Speaker 7: Blow it up. You have to do something, Nick.
Speaker 11: When you've been along and as long as I've been,
you get sense enough to savvy when did they get
action and when not to.
Speaker 7: Hey wait, gosh, you didn't even waiting to be said.
I never seen another fellow like him cheerful?
Speaker 9: Was that you starting to say about him a while back?
