1
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,839
Speaker 1: A fiery horsele speed of light, a cloud of dust

2
00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:22,120
in a hoty high o silver.

3
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: All lone ranger.

4
00:01:57,439 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: With his great horse Silver and his faithful Indian companions,

5
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,200
the masked Rider of the Plains fought crime and criminals

6
00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:06,239
throughout the Western United States. His name has not come

7
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,319
down to us in the written pages of history. But

8
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,400
no man did more to bring law and order to

9
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,240
the frontier. The cry of Ohio Silver was the battle

10
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,280
cry of justice. Now return with us down the trail

11
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:20,439
of adventure, to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out

12
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:22,719
of the past, come the thundering hoofs of silver. The

13
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:24,919
lone Ranger rides again.

14
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: Come on Silver, the opening home, Server and the.

15
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:31,479
Speaker 3: Course.

16
00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: In the early days of the West, when land was

17
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,840
to be had for the asking, farmers came from Ohio, Iowa,

18
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,039
and Minnesota, and from the far eastern seaboard to the

19
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,520
new country. Government troops guarded the boundary of the territory,

20
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:04,080
waiting for the cannon signal that would start prairie schooners

21
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,120
into the newly opened homestead lands. As far as the

22
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:10,319
eye could see, wagons were lined up ready for the dash.

23
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:25,719
In the morning, the folks sang in groups around the campfires.

24
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,520
Inside their wagon, Aaron Stewart and his wife Mary are talking.

25
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 4: Now, And don't you worry still about me. I'll be

26
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:36,199
all right as soon as we get set.

27
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: Sure you will, honey. It's been a mighty hard trip

28
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,639
over land. It'll be worth it. Tom Granville and me

29
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,879
have a place all picked out. We're going to race

30
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,879
for as soon as the cannon fires, and we'll go partners.

31
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: I wouldn't trust Tom Grenville too far if I was

32
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,360
you now, Mary, No, you think it's silly ofn't me.

33
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:55,719
But there's something about Tom Grenville that I don't like.

34
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:58,639
And that friend he is that he calls Keats is

35
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,199
even worse.

36
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,039
Speaker 3: You shouldn't see the like that, honey. Tom Granville's been

37
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,919
right friendly with me.

38
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: He's been friendly, but he's never yet done anything that

39
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,080
he didn't get the.

40
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: Best of it all, shucks. Half your sickness is just

41
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,120
from worry, maybe so.

42
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 4: I've been expecting to see him try some underhanded scheme

43
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:14,520
ever since we left the.

44
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: East, and he hasn't, so that all approve he's on

45
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:16,879
the level.

46
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 4: I wish she hadn't told him about the place you've located.

47
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:22,000
When you rode on ahead to look around, but I.

48
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,199
Speaker 3: Had to tell him, shucks, I was out here long

49
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,439
before the wagon started. That's why I went all the

50
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,399
way back east again.

51
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,879
Speaker 4: Tom Grenville will do you out of that land there,

52
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:30,959
And if you don't watch.

53
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: Your steps, don't see that, Huney.

54
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: It's so he's had a grudge again, you ever since

55
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:35,839
I married you?

56
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,439
Speaker 3: Insteady here nonsense, honey, Well, don't you remember how I

57
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:41,879
had to argue with him to get him to come

58
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:42,360
out here with.

59
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 4: Us, And that was because you wanted him to stake

60
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:45,600
it to the cage to get here.

61
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,399
Speaker 3: I know where the best trip of land in the

62
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:49,600
whole country is to be found. I know good water,

63
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,680
good timber right at the foot of the hill, and

64
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,439
good grazing. It's prime it.

65
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,399
Speaker 4: You can get it.

66
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: I'll get it all right. We got the best team

67
00:04:56,519 --> 00:04:58,160
of horses, the wagon all set to rod.

68
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: If someone else gets there first and file.

69
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,759
Speaker 3: Keepers, they won't you Just wait and see.

70
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: What if Tom Grenville get there first and decides that

71
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,519
he'll claim.

72
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:09,079
Speaker 3: It for his own shocks, there's plenty for two people there.

73
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 4: Sure, hope you're right here, and that's all I can see.

74
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,759
I hope you're.

75
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: Right, Everything's gonna be fine. I don't you worry, honey,

76
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,360
You'll just sort of let down from a long, hard trip.

77
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: Hey there, Oh.

78
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: There, that's Tom. Now we just stay right here and

79
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,199
try and get some sleep. Honey. I'll go see what

80
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,120
he wants.

81
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,319
Speaker 2: Hey, you and your wagon coming here, and I want

82
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:33,920
to talk to you. Who the business? Sure?

83
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: What's on your mind?

84
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: It's about that money? I load you?

85
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:41,879
Speaker 3: Oh that? Oh yeah? Step over here. Tom Marry's kind

86
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:43,879
of worried, nervous tonight, sho's me.

87
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 2: I reckon, this is as good a place as any end.

88
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,079
Speaker 3: Now, what about the cash?

89
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: I owe you two hundred dollars? I believe I got

90
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,639
your note here?

91
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: Oh sure, I reckon.

92
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: You can read it says it's payable on demand. If

93
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,000
you ain't got the cash to pay it, I can

94
00:05:58,079 --> 00:05:59,000
levy and you're good.

95
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:00,759
Speaker 3: Well that's put with my paper.

96
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 5: But you know time, I'm demanding a two hundred now, yeah,

97
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:07,560
yeh what if he ain't the cash, I'll take your horses.

98
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: But you can't do that time. If you take them horses,

99
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:11,959
how'll I get to the land we're going after?

100
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how you will get there? I reckon,

101
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,399
I'll make it all right. You can tell him about it, Grandville.

102
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:19,759
Speaker 3: Yes, keets I told him, Skeetze can't.

103
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: I told him he take his team instead of the

104
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:25,519
cash if he didn't have the cash. It's fair enough.

105
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: You ought to be glad to sell that team of

106
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,519
horses for two hundred dollars. But you can't do that, Grendelle.

107
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,040
I located that land. I told you about. It's me

108
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,079
that found it. I'm the one that brought you out here.

109
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 5: I don't reckon you'll have trouble finding another strip of

110
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,439
land for yourself.

111
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,639
Speaker 3: You're doing me out of the land. Grenville. You can't

112
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:41,319
get away with it.

113
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,439
Speaker 2: No, I don't know why I can't.

114
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: You planned this all the time, your mute.

115
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: Remember a few years back, Aaron, when you've done me

116
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:49,639
out of the girl I love?

117
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: I didn't she chose me instead of you, That's all.

118
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:53,120
It was my fault.

119
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:54,879
Speaker 2: Here, your wind and but Mary's sick.

120
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: You know she's sick. What'll I do if everyone goes

121
00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:58,279
and leaves miss Brandon here?

122
00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: She's your wife, and your worry, not mine. O.

123
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: Look here, Randall, I'll tell you what I'll do. You

124
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,319
go ahead, take the land, take it for yourself. Just

125
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,480
leave my horses here. I'll find some other land.

126
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: You better find some way to head back east where

127
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,600
you come from. Aaron. That's the place for you.

128
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: But I can't even get back there if you don't

129
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:14,800
leave me horse.

130
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:15,839
Speaker 2: That's too bad.

131
00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:19,519
Speaker 5: I recommends the horses take down over yonder skeets. We'll

132
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,560
take them and lead them over next to you. All right,

133
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,839
too bad. We gotta do this. But it's all legal.

134
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,759
Here's your paper, Aaron.

135
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: I'm marking it, paid in full, and now you don't

136
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:32,439
owe me nothing.

137
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:39,199
Speaker 3: Randall, listen with skeets. You can't do this. Wait a minute.

138
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:40,600
You can't think you stand it here.

139
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:41,639
Speaker 6: You can't do it.

140
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: You don't marriage.

141
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:43,879
Speaker 5: You can't.

142
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:03,959
Speaker 1: When Tom Granville led his horses away, Aaron was desperate,

143
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:08,160
leaving his own wagon. He went from one family to another, asking, begging,

144
00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:09,439
beseeching that they help him.

145
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: But you've got four horses. If you can, let me

146
00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:15,199
take a couple, Yarn, I need all four of mine.

147
00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:18,240
Just let me take one, just one. I can't stay

148
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:20,959
stranded here. He ain't do it, got a heavy load,

149
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:30,360
don't need all more. But you gotta help me. My

150
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:31,160
wife is sick.

151
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: Can't do it. Will we spit out the power.

152
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: We never see you, but I'll give you my word.

153
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:38,399
I'll return the horse. I can't move from here without

154
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,840
some sort of horse an starting with the cannon in

155
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:44,000
the morning. It's every man for himself.

156
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:45,919
Speaker 2: We ain't a wagon train no more.

157
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:48,639
Speaker 3: We're all racing against one another to find a place

158
00:08:48,679 --> 00:09:02,799
to settle on. You gotta help me. You've got to

159
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,000
do it for my wife's sake. I tell you she's sick.

160
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: My husband got on the way over.

161
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: But we gotta get horses. Sorry, he got none. Despair, clem,

162
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:13,159
you can help me. Let me hit my wagon on

163
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,519
the back of yours. You've got oxen. They can pull

164
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,120
two wagons. Sorry, and then take my wife on your wagon,

165
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,440
take your away and leave me here.

166
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,039
Speaker 2: My wagon's heavy, ups of the air and sorry, I've

167
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,840
got to have help.

168
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,799
Speaker 3: Well, we'll responded, I'm sorry, we got.

169
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:28,639
Speaker 2: Sorry.

170
00:09:55,799 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, mh bless you. I'm glad you're asleep. It makes

171
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:05,320
it some easier. You won't have to know it all morning.

172
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,320
I'm marry How can I ever tell you the time

173
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:12,879
Granville's double crossed us? Aaron, Marry you you're a week.

174
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: I'm a weak eron I heard what Tom Grenville said

175
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:18,600
to you. I suspected something of the sort.

176
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: All alone, Mary, what'll we do?

177
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 4: He's never got over the happiness we've known since we

178
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:26,840
were married, Erin, that's why I did it. I'm kinda

179
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,399
glad he he did. Glad I knew all alone, he'd

180
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:32,639
do something to get even. That's his nature.

181
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: Now he'll leave us alone.

182
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:37,159
Speaker 4: It might have been worse, but.

183
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: Honey, it couldn't be no worse. In the morning, everyone

184
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:42,879
will be dashing out for the land, everyone but us.

185
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,600
I know they leave us here, we'll be stranded. Oh, Mary,

186
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,720
I've brought you all the way out here to let

187
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:51,320
you starve. Mary, what's the matter?

188
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 4: Even look at the back of the wagon.

189
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,879
Speaker 2: Man, he's messed. Please, don't be afraid of me. And

190
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,360
who are you?

191
00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 7: You've been trying to borrow horses. Yes, I heard about

192
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:01,240
your trouble, but you are masked.

193
00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:02,399
Speaker 3: You ain't one of us.

194
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 7: No, I'm one of the people of this country. Erin,

195
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,840
don't lose heart. Let the others go ahead tomorrow, wait

196
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:10,919
here until they've all gone. Who are keep your hopes up?

197
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: Erin.

198
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 7: This is a great and glorious country, and there's lots

199
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:15,480
of land for every one. Let the others go on

200
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,399
without you, and keep your courage high.

201
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: I'll be back erin. Who was that man?

202
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Early the next morning, an army bugo sounded a warning call,

203
00:11:51,799 --> 00:11:56,200
and pioneers but their horses hitched, families and luggage safely, loaded.

204
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: Whips and rains in hands. I'll wait at the cannon.

205
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:05,879
Speaker 1: Under The men leaned forward eagerly. They whipped, ready to

206
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,120
lash their horses into plantic speed at the signal to

207
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,720
break new land for homesteading.

208
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 8: Then suddenly, molay you will away, come on at you

209
00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:55,480
go down.

210
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 4: They've gone, Mary, they've all gone, but us don't give

211
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,320
up hoping, don't give up hope yet.

212
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 3: There's nothing to hope for now. Mary. The last night,

213
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,279
I don't take much talking what he said.

214
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 2: But I do.

215
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 4: There was something about the way he's spoken, and I

216
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,960
was right. Look they comes see him, and there's another rider.

217
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 3: With him, but it don't seem possible. It's an engine

218
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,240
with him, and they're both riding white horses.

219
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: Look at them.

220
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: Come, I see them, but I don't.

221
00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 4: We're still alive, and while we're alive, we can still hope.

222
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,639
Speaker 2: We'll hit our horses to your wagon. Aaron and pull

223
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,440
him into the homestead land me doom.

224
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,279
Speaker 3: But it's too late, Stranger, No, it is.

225
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,639
Speaker 2: There's land that won't be claimed by anyone.

226
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,279
Speaker 3: It won't be clean. What do you mean, Stranger, That

227
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:57,679
just don't sound like sense.

228
00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 7: After you're settled there, we'll suggest to Tom Gray that

229
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,639
no one knows the secret that land holds. It isn't

230
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:04,919
desirable to look at, and everyone who passes by except

231
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,960
those who know the secrets.

232
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: What is the secret?

233
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 7: You'll find out when you get there. But he's kind

234
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:12,840
of We're taking Aaron and his wife to their new home.

235
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: The curtain palls on the first act of our Lone

236
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,799
Ranger drama. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us

237
00:14:27,840 --> 00:15:41,320
to pause for just a few moments. Aaron and his

238
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,879
wife Mary were deprived of their horses on the eve

239
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,720
of the dash into newly opened homestead lands. Tom Granville

240
00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:50,679
planned to claim for his own the land he and

241
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,360
Aaron had agreed to hold jointly. After the wagons had left,

242
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,120
the Lone Ranger and Tonto hitched their horses to Aaron's

243
00:15:57,159 --> 00:16:00,000
wagon and drew it to the land that looked undesirable.

244
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: It was a narrow strip at the foot of the hill.

245
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,559
Speaker 1: Aaron looked out of his wagon when the stop was

246
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,759
finally made and was surprised to see that it joined

247
00:16:13,799 --> 00:16:17,720
the hillside land that Granville had claimed. Grandville approached the wagon, saying,

248
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:19,720
oh they got here.

249
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: Eh, they help an engine and the mayor's gird.

250
00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:24,759
Speaker 3: Lord hold on now, Grandville, Well you can take yourself off.

251
00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:26,320
I don't aim to settle on your land.

252
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: Well what are you doing here?

253
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,559
Speaker 3: Move on? You ain't claim this narrow strip at the

254
00:16:29,559 --> 00:16:30,120
foot of the hill.

255
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,799
Speaker 2: Ain't enough room here to do anything with. Nevertheless, Aaron

256
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,159
Stewart is going to claim his acreage on the hill.

257
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,559
On the hill. The only part of the hill that

258
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,440
ain't been claimed is too steep to do anything with.

259
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: Well, it's the only land that ain't been claimed. It's

260
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,080
the only land I can get in.

261
00:16:44,159 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: It all right.

262
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,919
Speaker 7: And take the narrow strip where you are, the steep

263
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,440
slope above, and see that just tearing your own land.

264
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: It skeets come here any time. What's the t airon?

265
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,919
Names are settle next to us? If he sets foot

266
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,320
on my land, shoot him. He'd better keep off an island.

267
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:00,120
You hear that, Aeron? See if you keep off.

268
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: You sure turned on me all of a sudden, Grandville.

269
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,839
Speaker 2: Just how do you figure you can live on that here?

270
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,759
Speaker 3: I'm gonna dig myself a cave, a cave.

271
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,519
Speaker 2: It's a cunin.

272
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 3: Keep the rain off on us and I'll be on

273
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:11,559
own lands either.

274
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,039
Speaker 2: Just stay there. And what's more, when your food runs out,

275
00:17:14,039 --> 00:17:15,240
don't come around begging for me.

276
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 4: Wait to the stove and aesca staate with you.

277
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 7: Tom Grenville, come on, Skeech, let's go and leave these

278
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:21,119
blame fools to dig their cave.

279
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,799
Speaker 2: Remember what we told you, Aaron, some things are more

280
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,400
valuable than level water lands.

281
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: I will stranger and a thousand things come on.

282
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,799
Speaker 1: In the fortnight that followed, Aaron dug a cave in

283
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:47,319
the hillside and made a shelter for himself and his wife. Meanwhile,

284
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,079
Granville and his partner's skeets kept close watch on everything

285
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,480
Aaron Stewart did. Saw I him take a shovelful of

286
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:55,640
earth from various parts of the hill, wash it, and

287
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,640
then carefully examine the dearth it remained. Meanwhile, the Lone

288
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,599
Ranger entitled camp nearby, and each evening Tanto reported Aaron

289
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,640
Stewart's progress to the.

290
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 3: Mass rider ton don't watch him close.

291
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: Is Aron doing what we told him?

292
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 3: H him him do lenty good, digging dirt and washing

293
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,839
it and digging more dirt.

294
00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 7: Matt right, tell me Tata is the man who splendled him, watching.

295
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,279
Speaker 2: Him watch all time.

296
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,559
Speaker 7: If ever a man deserved justice, it's Aaron Stewart. And

297
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,960
if ever a man deserved punishment, it's Tom Granville, maybe

298
00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:25,200
Aaron Tullner get even. I think tomorrow, Tonto, it'll be

299
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,799
a good idea for you to take this dust and

300
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,920
go to Granville's land while I ride for the.

301
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,319
Speaker 3: Government office at Pine Ridge on Tonto Goal. You know

302
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,759
what you're to do to know.

303
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 7: I know mister Dixon at Pine Ridge, and I think

304
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:37,079
we can count on his help in this situation. I'll

305
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,599
deal with him while you go and call on Tom Granville.

306
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,519
Speaker 1: The next morning, when Granville and'skeets looked toward the foot

307
00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:52,720
of the hill, they saw Totto industriously engaged in washing

308
00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:55,039
out dirt that he'd taken from their land. Quickly, the

309
00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:56,559
two made their way to him and watched him for

310
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:56,960
a while.

311
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: Say you what are you doing here island? Neppy? You

312
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,720
let Indian have dirt? Huh, We don't let no one

313
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:05,279
have nothing.

314
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: Now, get out of here.

315
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: Me not want much. Hold on a minute, what do

316
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:13,559

317
00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:14,799
what do you want to over?

318
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 6: Maybe you get fortune on land? You look look in

319
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,880

00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,720

00:19:28,759 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 2: Jumpin snakes pod?

322
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:30,559
Speaker 3: It's cool?

323
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,519
Speaker 2: Cool, give me that pain agin, Now you give me dirt.

324
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:35,359
Mercy about this?

325
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: Where did all this come from?

326
00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: Is it all around my land? It washed down from hill?

327
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,079
Maybe from the hill washed down? Then they must be steeps.

00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:19,319
Speaker 5: I told you?

342
00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:20,799
Speaker 2: Where do you go?

343
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 8: I don't know.

344
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: Life is not in the government office. That's where he

345
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:28,720
was hidden. For the government office. Yes, in pine On.

346
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: Put sure you've got the only horses we had, skeets.

347
00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:35,599
Speaker 2: I gotta hurry. If what I think is right, I

348
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,799

349
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,480
horse quick.

350
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: In the government office in pine Ridge, the agent looked

351
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:51,960
up from his desk and saw the lone ranger, his

352
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,359
face disguised framed in the doorway.

353
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: Good morning, Dixon, you great scott man. I'm dad to

354
00:20:58,039 --> 00:20:59,440
see you. You won't be glad when I tell you

355
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:01,119
what I came. I close the door.

356
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 7: You want me to help you out on something exactly,

357
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,559
and it won't be pleasant for you, Dixon.

358
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: What is it?

359
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 7: First, I'm gonna tie and gag you want to put

360
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,039
you on the floor behind the counter.

361
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,039
Speaker 2: I guess you know what you're doing.

362
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: It'll be all right. Here's my hands. I'll make it

363
00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:14,240
easy for you. Good.

364
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: It won't take long. What's up anyhow? I'd give a

365
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,359
lot to know, but I can guess one thing. Yes,

366
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,759
you want something here in the office, fix the way

367
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:23,839
it shouldn't be, and you want to save my skin.

368
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,720
I'll not tie you so tired. It'll hurt just loosely

369
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,079
like this there and now my feet. Yes, I'll have

370
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,839
to tie your ankles. But what's up?

371
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: Can't you tell me yet?

372
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: Not yet, you'll know later on.

373
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: Now I'll do the gay. I don't need to.

374
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,039
Speaker 7: I hold open my trap very well. You can say

375
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:41,640
that you were threatened with death if you made a sound.

376
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:43,799
He comes a man I want to see now. He

377
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,440
just stepped from the wagon on the floor with you.

378
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,920
I'm gona take my mask on. I'm gone all right,

379
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:48,599
just in time.

380
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: I'm Tom Brandville. Yes, here's the government manager. And what

381
00:21:53,319 --> 00:21:55,200
else did you expect to find in this office? I

382
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,480
was just making sure, mister. Will you make a test

383
00:21:57,519 --> 00:21:59,240
to this and tell me if it's really good? Those

384
00:21:59,279 --> 00:21:59,920
tiny spanks?

385
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 3: All right?

386
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: There isn't enough here to test. You'll have to have more.

387
00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:04,400
What to look like to you?

388
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,319
Speaker 7: You can tell something thatdway, can't you. I can't be sure,

389
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:10,119
but it's the same color as gold. Might very well

390
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,839
be the only place around here with the would be gold.

391
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,319
Those in the hills. Did this come from a hill?

392
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,319
Speaker 2: Well maybe so, maybe from level land. Are you saying

393
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,480
there's gold in the hills? Lots of men have found it.

394
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:24,359
There comes in pockets, margets, what's it?

395
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:26,319
Speaker 7: The way they find it is to dig in different

396
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,400
places in the hill and wash the sand and gravel

397
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,960
until they find pay dirt. And they worked each side

398
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,160
until they find dirt that no longer shows a trace

399
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:33,599
of gold.

400
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

401
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 7: Then they dig up the side of the hill and

402
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,759
the fan shape to the pocket. They make tests all

403
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:40,880
the time. The pocket may contain thousands of dollars worth

404
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,599
of gold and a single bushel of dirt. Gosh, how way,

405
00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:45,880
if you found the gold on level land, it's probably

406
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,279
there enough to have been washed out of one of

407
00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:48,279
those pockets.

408
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: All right. Gosh, that's just what the airing was. One

409
00:22:50,599 --> 00:22:52,960
that is a fill. I know we're just headway. How

410
00:22:53,079 --> 00:22:55,000
much gold you say there was one of these pockets

411
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:56,880
and have taken out as much as one hundred thousand

412
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,319
dollars in a week's time. Thanks, mister, I'll be back.

413
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,759
I'll get more for you.

414
00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 3: Grandville. What you doing here?

415

Speaker 3: Yep, I reckon, I'll hit the pocket no time now.

419
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:14,119

glad to see your face without a mask.

430
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 7: It isn't my face that you see.

431
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: Erin tyl to help me disguise myself here, take this.

432
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,440
It looks like money. He's watching through the wind. Ass

435
00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:43,440
just what you say. Mister.

436
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: Hey, Aaron, I want to talk to you. Well, I've

437
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,880
been trying to see you. He's hard to say it.

438
00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:59,720
I am served the way I've treated Jinny. I'd like

439
00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:01,039
to square things.

440
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: To fine time. Say that if we count on you,

441
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,559
we've been dead long time ago.

442
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 2: I know it, Aaron, but you don't know.

443
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 5: What it can do to a man to lose the

444
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,079
girl he loves. I've been trying to get up my

445
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,920
courage to see you a dozen times. Yeah, I just

446
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,839
went local for a while seeing you two marriage. Well,

447
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:18,640
i'd give you a pretty.

448
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: Bad deal eron. Now, I'm willing to give you half

449
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,279
the land I've got.

450
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,319
Speaker 3: If you still go by that partnership thing we agreed

451
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,839
on half the land you got. Huh you mean the

452
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,960
land you swindled me out of.

453
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 5: I did a pretty mean trick, and I reckon, we

454
00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:34,119
need much more to say. Wait a minute, Aaron, you

455
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,079
don't say anything. I'm offering you the land you wanted

456
00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:39,160
and surveyed and trade for the land you're on. Now

457
00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:40,880
we could swap half in hand.

458
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:43,599
Speaker 3: I reckon, I'll hold on to what I got. If

459
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,519
I deal with you, you'll like it's not swindled me again. Sometimes.

460
00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:48,960
Besides that, I got plans to get rich off of

461
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:49,720
my claim.

462
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,279
Speaker 2: But I found gold on mine. See here's some spekes

463
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:52,440
of it.

464
00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: Did the fella inside tell you it was gold? Who?

465
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,039
Speaker 2: Sure it is? But I got to get some more

466
00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:58,119
of it to get a tested It's sure enough gold.

467
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: Ever figured that there might be more my hill? What

468
00:25:01,519 --> 00:25:02,839
do you think I claim the hill for?

469
00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 5: Then?

470
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: How would you like to sell some of your land

471
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,200
to you.

472
00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 3: Sure, I don't appeal to me none. Less I have

473
00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:11,920
to do with you, the better I like it. I'll

474
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,359
tell you what, though, if you get the idea that

475
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,000
you'd like the prospect for gold, I'll deal with you.

476
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,359
Oh well, prospect, and don't appeal to me much. It's

477
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,319
a little hard on Mary.

478
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:22,559
Speaker 2: What's your proposition?

479
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 3: I like Farman and I want to be able to

480
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,559
grow things and live comfortable. If you want to swap

481
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,200
land just as it stands and throw in the house

482
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,839
you built and the horses from my hill and the cave,

483
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:33,640
I dog, why.

484
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 2: You mean swamp? Even I have whatever I find.

485
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, but you're getting the best of it.

486
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: Even so, it's done. It's a deal. You got your

487
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,000
papers with you, yep, I have you. Sure, come on

488
00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:45,680
in with me and we'll get the gumination to fix

489
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:45,920
it up.

490
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: Right now. It minds your Grandville. I ain't making no promises.

491
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,920
I don't guarantee you'll get rich on that hill.

492
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: I'll take that chance. Come on in, say.

493
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: It was late afternoon when Aaron finally returned to Mary,

494
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,680
and we find him laughing as Mary says.

495
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 3: What happened at the office I wish you'd seen Granville's

496
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,759
face when he learned that the real government man had

497
00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:30,720
been tied behind the counter. He made the delay, Yep,

498
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:32,720
he made it, and then found there was nothing but

499
00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:35,799
fool golden nose sacks, and even that didn't come from

500
00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:38,160
this hill. I don't know what you mean mean, honey,

501
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,000
It means we're taking over Granville's claim and he gets

502
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:43,880
this no count here. Oh that ain't all on. I

503
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,440
got his horses and wagon too, And if he tries

504
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,240
to move us off the land, he'll have the whole

505
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,279
US Army after him.

506
00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:51,079
Speaker 4: And is what he's been living on.

507
00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:53,519
Speaker 3: Sure, now we got to vacate this old cave so

508
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,920
Skeets and Granville will have a place to live from

509
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,200
now on. This is their property. How did it ever happen?

510
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,279
We have the Long Rangers to thank for that, Mary.

511
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,079
He's got us fixed up in great shape. We've got

512
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,759
the best section of land in the whole state, and

513
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,359
Tom Granville has the worst.

514
00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 7: Come on, several boys, probably big Man Conads, waiting on

515
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:29,279
the plane ahead.

516
00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:57,079
Speaker 9: Of them at the under
