1
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,719
Speaker 1: A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud

2
00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:26,039
of dust, and a hardy, high old Silver, The Lone.

3
00:00:25,760 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: Ranger At Compacts of contact, and the Doctor.

4
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:40,879
Speaker 3: And compact of thett.

5
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: At.

6
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: The history of the Western United States is also a

7
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,960
history of transportation. First prairie schooners, then the Pony Express,

8
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,080
and finally the railroad helped bring civilization to the new country.

9
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:15,800
It was the mass rider of the Plains, however, that

10
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,039
did most established law and order on the frontier. He

11
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,719
fought crime and criminals throughout the linth and breadth of

12
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,280
seven States, and the memory of his deeds will remain

13
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:26,599
as long as the memory of the early West itself.

14
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:30,039
Now return with us to those shrilling days of yesteryear,

15
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,280
from out of the past, From the thundering hoof beats

16
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,960
of the great horse Silver, the Lone Ranger rides again,

17
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:37,960
Tel Silver.

18
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:42,319
Speaker 5: We're riding east to the railroad. Total swelling for us,

19
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:55,439
Hello Silver.

20
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: Hackett had once ranged cattle all the way from the

21
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,479
town of Hensdale, through Cedar Valley and beyond. In the

22
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,560
days of his prosperity, he had befriended numberless men and

23
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,159
women who had come to him starving or sick, or homeless.

24
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,520
With the end of the days of the open range,

25
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,680
Zeke's prosperity faded away, and with his prosperity the fair

26
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:21,319
weather friends who had taken advantage of his generosity.

27
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: In the end, he'd been.

28
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,879
Speaker 1: Able to retain title only to Cedar Valley and a

29
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,199
small strip of land to the westward, and here grazed

30
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:32,560
the shrunken remnants of his once vast herds. We see

31
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,800
Zeke now sitting on the porch of his home with

32
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:38,159
his wife Martha, watching the approach of their nearest neighbor,

33
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,360
Duke Bradley, with two of his men.

34
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,159
Speaker 4: Well, there he comes, Marthy, riding up here, just as

35
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:47,000
bold as you please. And ten years ago i'd have

36
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,719
taken him a shoot nine and run him off the

37
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,280
place so fast he'd have scorched the air getting away.

38
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 6: Times had changed, Zeke.

39
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,479
Speaker 4: Not for the better neither.

40
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 6: Now when he gets here, you treat him just as

41
00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:57,400
nice as you're able.

42
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: It don't do to go looking for trouble, Martha, I

43
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,280
feel like to bust.

44
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 6: Well, you can just hold in that temper, yours. There

45
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,360
ain't nobody else willing to give us cash for Cedar.

46
00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: Valley right now, just because Duke's got everybody's a blame.

47
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,639
Scared they're afraid to all for anything.

48
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:12,199
Speaker 6: I ain't saying that's not so.

49
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:14,759
Speaker 4: And if I could only prove my suspicions, I'd be

50
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,120
willing to bet every last penny I got the Dukes

51
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,879
a fellow to blame for them water holes in the

52
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,879
valley being pison.

53
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 6: Now, Zeke, you have no reason to say that.

54
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: Don't need no reason. All us could tell a crook

55
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,120
by the way my rheumatics act.

56
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 7: Won't you ever get over that notion?

57
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 4: Well, it's so I get within ten yards of a

58
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:36,079
crook and I get taken like somebody's use me for

59
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:36,920
a pin cushion?

60
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: Have you just say that for forty years?

61
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:42,879
Speaker 4: No, I can feel it coming on right now. You

62
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:49,480
behave yourself out of yourself, didn't you hear me?

63
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,879
Speaker 3: Well? Are you ready to talk business? Seat?

64
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: Oh?

65
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:55,199
Speaker 3: Something ailing you?

66
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,639
Speaker 4: It's them dog blasted rheumatics. Never did have them that afore?

67
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know

68
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,800
you was troubled that way.

69
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 6: Any attention to him, mister Bradley. Zeke's just like a

70
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,360
big baby with his ailments.

71
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: You keep sale, Marty so you come to make me

72
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:15,079
an offer for Cedar Valley again? Is that it?

73
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: I heard? In turn you changed your mind about sailing.

74
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,959
Speaker 4: It wasn't because I wanted to know. But it ain't

75
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:23,160
no use trying to run cattle where they die off

76
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,000
like flies from pies and water.

77
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 6: It's just terrible. We've lost half our critters already.

78
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: I was afraid of that. A huge soul out to

79
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:33,160
me before it wouldn't have happened.

80
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: How much you're offering, Well.

81
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:39,439
Speaker 8: Last time I said I'd give you three thousand. Wasn't

82
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:42,920
that It's so buck Yeah.

83
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: That's why I recollected boss.

84
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, Well, tain't much, but I guess I'll.

85
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:49,199
Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Zeke cahn't ha had three thousands.

86
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 8: For the valley and all the critters in it at

87
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,720
the time I made the offer. But of course you

88
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,519
wouldn't expect me to offer as much now, seeing in

89
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:57,560
half your critters have died off since.

90
00:05:57,439 --> 00:05:59,639
Speaker 6: You you mean you won't give it a sea thousand?

91
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,759
Speaker 9: Even two thousand's my best price, my rheumatics is something

92
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:10,439
fierce Duke two thousands, the same as Robrey five years ago.

93
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: I could have sold a valley in the cattle for

94
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:16,839
thirty thousand. This ain't five years ago, then, and make

95
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:18,000
it twenty five hundred.

96
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 3: Nope, I just give you my first and last price order.

97
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:24,199
Speaker 4: I ought to tell you yet, don't.

98
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 6: Say anything you'll be sorry for We need that money,

99
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,560
mighty bed.

100
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: But marthy to have nothing left but that strip of

101
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,519
land over westward and a little handful of cash after

102
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,759
all we used to have.

103
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,079
Speaker 6: H It's hard, but we can't hold out longer.

104
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,199
Speaker 3: You're a real sensible woman, man.

105
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,519
Speaker 6: I just wished I wouldn't, but it are you.

106
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, honey, I'll take the offer, I reckon. That's fine, itch,

107
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,240
But I just wish I could figure out why you're

108
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,279
synxious to get the valley, Duke. Then water holes will

109
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,079
be pison no matter who's.

110
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 8: Well you see, Zeke, I gotta figure this way. Most

111
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,040
likely it's something under seeping in and poisoning the springs.

112
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,639
Maybe in time it'll'll be washed away. Maybe you can't

113
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,439
afford to wait, of course, but I can.

114
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:10,759
Speaker 4: You're sure it ain't something else pies in the water.

115
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:12,639
Speaker 3: Meaning well, never.

116
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:15,839
Speaker 4: Mind, I said i'd sail, and having no choice, I'll

117
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,959
keep the bargain, all right. Your rheumatics ain't so bad.

118
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: You can't get the term this afternoon to sign the papers, Addie.

119
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: I reckon, I can make it.

120
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,319
Speaker 8: And come on, fellas, I'll be expecting a lawyer Winton's

121
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,279
office about three.

122
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: I'll be there. Don't you forget the two thousands. All

123
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:38,040
these rumatics will be the death of me. Man, the

124
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,759
old fool in is rheumatic. All right, fellas, get to

125
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:43,160
your saddles. We're right in the town.

126
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 10: Something underground pisoning in the springs, eh.

127
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: See, can't prove no different, Canny.

128
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:51,639
Speaker 3: Shut your mouth or two.

129
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,319
Speaker 4: Come on, get there, get up.

130
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: In the meantime, some distance to the east, rumors at

131
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,680
the railroad planned to extend its lines westward became a

132
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,399
practical certainty. A small group of surveyors started making their

133
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,720
way across country with chains and transits, and one day

134
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,759
the lone Ranger and his faithful Indian companion Toto, rode.

135
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,159
Speaker 4: Up to the crew.

136
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:39,759
Speaker 11: Hello there, outlaws, what do you want here?

137
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 12: We're not outlaws, Jerry? You know my name, Jerry duncan

138
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:43,879
han't you?

139
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,919
Speaker 11: We never met a poor that I can recollect.

140
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 13: Your superintendent told me about you, missus, Telly. Yes, I'll

141
00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:51,200
come outlaws like you know him.

142
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 12: I said, we aren't outlaws. Toto and I became acquainted

143
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,879
with him a long time ago.

144
00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:59,759
Speaker 4: Mmm, we help him in him in plenty.

145
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, he told us the railroad would build, that you'd

146
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,559
be in charge of the surveying crew.

147
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 11: Glass and he shouldn't have talked so much.

148
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 12: He knew that anything he told us would be held

149
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,519
in confidence.

150
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 11: The care stranger.

151
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,799
Speaker 13: If that information gets out, it's going to cut the

152
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,639
railroad of fortune to buy the land it needs.

153
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 12: But we won't repeat what weight now. I'm afraid most

154
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,399
of the people through here suspect your purpose already.

155
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,159
Speaker 13: Maybe so, but they ain't a blame sure that they're

156
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:24,039
going to turn down a fair price for their land.

157
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 12: Tella and I have been watching the route you're laying out.

158
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:28,159
From from what we've seen, you'll have to go through

159
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,039
Susedar Valley.

160
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, well that's a long ways off, yes, but it's

161
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,759
directly on the way to Hinsdale for all you know,

162
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,320
maybe we ain't going to Hinsdale, maybe we're going to

163
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,360
Perryvillelle Instead.

164
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 12: Stanley said that Hinsdale had been definitely decided upon.

165
00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 13: Mister, you know, to blame much either, You're an awful

166
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,919
good friend the mister Stanley's or you've blackmailed him in

167
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:49,200
the saying a lot of things he shouldn't have.

168
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: Which do you believe?

169
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:50,919
Speaker 3: Well?

170
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 11: I ain't so sure.

171
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 13: You're wearing a mask like an outlaw, right enough, But

172
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:57,480
somehow I got a feeling you're different from what you

173
00:09:57,519 --> 00:09:57,960
seem to be.

174
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: Thanks, Gerry, I give you my word that we're to

175
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,200
be trusted.

176
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 11: But what makes you so Where the railroad's going?

177
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 12: Everybody is that's interested in that, but I particularly anyone

178
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,360
wanted it to go through seat on this fortune.

179
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 11: You ain't pulling the wool over my eyes.

180
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,399
Speaker 14: Wait you pull cats Zeke put me through school when

181
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:14,399
I never had a cent to my name that gun,

182
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,600
I'm right now, I'm paying back part of what I own.

183
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:27,320
Man miss cut them off anyhow, I said CRUs all right,

184
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:30,279
all right, Ben, the ain't no use chasing them. We'll

185
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,240
settle them fellows. Later on.

186
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: It sympathized with one mom's fortunes decline, and now learning

187
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,279
of Duke Bradley's action for the first time, they determined

188
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,159
to investigate. We see them at the end of their journey,

189
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:48,720
reining in their horse horses beside the corral. Where's the

190
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:56,840
z is standing.

191
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 4: Z Well, you've done my heid. If it ain't the

192
00:10:56,799 --> 00:11:01,440
mass fellow in Tondo for the long time we've meant to,

193
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,600
would blame long.

194
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: Tonto.

195
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,759
Speaker 4: Glad see you well, Tonto, there ain't so many if

196
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:10,600
he that way anymore, I can recollect. When I had

197
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,279
more friends than I new knew what to do with,

198
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:15,559
which seems like when a feller's down, they sort of

199
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,559
forget about him. I know one who hasn't, Zeke. Yeah,

200
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,320
Jerry duncan Jerry say now, there's one of the finest

201
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:25,120
young fellows ever. Was met up with him when he

202
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:28,120
was just an orphan kid, all sort of felt taught

203
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,120
him like I would have if he'd been with a son.

204
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,200
And he thinks a lot of you your friends are his. No,

205
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,360
I'm afraid he thought us outlaws recollect when we first

206
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:40,919
met up. First, I figured it was outlaws myself. Then

207
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
when Ma Marou Mattics didn't get the aching, I says

208
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
to myself, Zeke, there's unknown water holes in the valley.

209
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,759
He must have. I can't prove it, but just as

210
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,159
sure as I'm standing here here, he did that very

211
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,240
thing and he can't be brought to justice. There's no

212
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,679
way at all. But there's something else that can be

213
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,879
brought to yes, and that's the business end of shooting.

214
00:11:59,879 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: Ie.

215
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 4: You stay here, wait, seek, listen to me. Perhaps there's

216
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,039
another way to punish him. I don't know what to be.

217
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,600
Oh golly, yes, thinking of that critters brought on them

218
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,120
pains again. You can't fight a man like do Bradley

219
00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:18,159
with guns, the surest way I know knows. I have

220
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:19,120
still a better plan.

221
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 12: Huh, And from what you've told me, I'm sure it

222
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:21,919
will work.

223
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: Now listen to me.

224
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 15: The curtain falls on the first act.

225
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: Now to continue our story. A week after Duke Bradley

226
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,200
had bought Cedar Valley from Zeke Hackett for a fraction

227
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:02,200
of its true word, the rancher was talking with one

228
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,720
of his men.

229
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: Well, then.

230
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,279
Speaker 8: Before the day's over, i'll be banking about forty or

231
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:10,600
fifty thousand dollars.

232
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:12,279
Speaker 4: It would be that soon, boss yep.

233
00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:14,639
Speaker 8: I heard the day that the fellow of representing the

234
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,720
railroad would be in town to buy app lane. Good enough,

235
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,879
and Zeke, here's about it that I'll bet he'll be

236
00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:20,759
fit to be tired.

237
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:23,759
Speaker 12: And just see him, he'll be yelping about his rheumatic,

238
00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:25,919
so as he could be heard clear the next county.

239
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:28,799
Speaker 3: We ain't worrying about him wrecking the railroad.

240
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: Will pay that much gas.

241
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,759
Speaker 8: He'll pay It had cost him ten times as much

242
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:36,799
to cut across the hills. Yeah, anyhow, that much, I'll

243
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:40,360
be making myself a nice profit. Two thousand of Zeke

244
00:13:40,399 --> 00:13:42,960
for the valley and five hundred to pay that fellow

245
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,879
in the railroad office for telling us which way the

246
00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:45,480
line's going to.

247
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 4: Be built, CALLI and all the rest clear.

248
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 8: The best part of it is we couldn't have lost

249
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,799
no matter which way the railroad was built. Now, huh,

250
00:13:51,879 --> 00:13:54,600
if they decided to go to Perryville instead of Hensdale,

251
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,559
it had to cross that land over to the west,

252
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:02,639
as ze gohones through the what's that.

253
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,759
Speaker 10: The railroads changes plans local I at the railroad's not

254
00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:09,320
coming to Hinsdale, all right, it's going to Perryville. Them

255
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,320
surveyors are on Zeke land western.

256
00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:13,159
Speaker 11: Strip of his Yeah, you've seen him yourself.

257
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 7: No, not exactly, but I heard it in town.

258
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: It can't be. We ought to see for ourselves on

259
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,840
that's just what we're going to do.

260
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,159
Speaker 7: I never believed it at first, but even the sheriff

261
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,159
said he seen if.

262
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,919
Speaker 3: That's telling the railroad office double cross to me. He

263
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:27,039
might have figured you couldn't prove nothing.

264
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 7: And figuring if you give out the wrong information.

265
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,519
Speaker 11: The railroad couldn't prove nothing either.

266
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:33,399
Speaker 3: You pay for it if he did. Steady there, bless you.

267
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:35,879
Speaker 11: Let's hurry.

268
00:14:36,000 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm ready, And almost the time the lone ranger rode

269
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,080
swiftly into town on his great horse Silver, rained in

270
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:06,759
them before the Sheriff's office and hurried inside.

271
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 12: What don't go for your gun? Gun, sheriff, A mess man,

272
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,639
a wall of blaster. You're going to do what I say.

273
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:16,200
I'll explain later. There's no time to waste. Now you

274
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,480
will be jailed for theamps. But right now you're coming

275
00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:18,759
with me.

276
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Duke Bradley led his men at the swift gallop toward

277
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:26,480
the narrow stretch of land, with Zeke Hackett still on.

278
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,080
As they approached their destination, Duke saw that the report

279
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,399
he had received was correct.

280
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:40,519
Speaker 3: You there calling me. You heard me, didn't you? I

281
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:40,879
heard you.

282
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 11: I didn't care much about your style of calling either.

283
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:44,559
Speaker 4: Don't get smart, mister.

284
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: I'll talk to this fellow now. What I want to

285
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:50,559
know is what you and your men are doing over here.

286
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:52,559
Speaker 11: What we're doing is our business.

287
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: But I'm making in mine.

288
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,039
Speaker 10: Yeah, let me handle a boss. Maybe a little gun

289
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,159
weapon would do him some good.

290
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,679
Speaker 11: Anytime you fellas want to start, so that I'm willing.

291
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,679
Speaker 3: I thought the railroad was going through Cedar Valley.

292
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 11: He did.

293
00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: It was supposed to be built to Hymnsdale. But this

294
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,519
is a way to Perryville.

295
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 11: And what if it is just this?

296
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,879
Speaker 3: I own Cedar Valley.

297
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 8: I paid good cash for it, but if the railroad's

298
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,000
going to Perryville. I won't be able to sell it.

299
00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:14,519
Speaker 3: Well.

300
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:17,799
Speaker 11: Now, ain't that just too bad? You Bradley, ain't you?

301
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,279
Speaker 3: That's me?

302
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:20,559
Speaker 13: I heard about the way you cheated old Zeke. He

303
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:22,799
thought you was gonna collect big money. But this is

304
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:24,279
Zeke's land, and now it's him it's going.

305
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: To collect Ke.

306
00:16:24,879 --> 00:16:26,519
Speaker 7: We ought to fill that fello in the railroad office

307
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:28,120
full of land. It was him to touch in this way.

308
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: Serve you are right, but I.

309
00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:32,279
Speaker 4: Get back on your horses.

310
00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:33,919
Speaker 3: We ain't licked yet.

311
00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: Ever since the day a Zeke hack It had spoken

312
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,039
to the lone ranger, his bitter mooded past and his

313
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:54,720
puzzled wife frequently observed the old man chuckling to himself.

314
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,240
When questioned, he refused to give his reason, and Martha

315
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,679
found her curiosity increasing. We see the already couple in

316
00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:02,919
the living room of their home.

317
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 6: Sake, Zeke, could you laughing to yourself?

318
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 4: I declare, sometimes I think you lose my little sense

319
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,680
you ever had, do you now I do?

320
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 3: Oh?

321
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 6: Now, Zeke, you tell me what it is you're keeping

322
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,359
to yourself this way. It hasn't got anything to do

323
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,200
with the vallet, has it.

324
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: You will find out all good time.

325
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 7: But why can't you tell me right now?

326
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 4: All the talking and begging in the world won't make

327
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,680
me say a word. I give my promise of the

328
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,759
mask man, and I'm going back on it.

329
00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 6: You're still just as stubborn as when you was courting me.

330
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 4: Uh huh. That's how I got you, wasn't it. Oh

00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,079
Speaker 6: Two no count gun hands.

334
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 4: His pole cats, I mean blast you. Oh oh, Emerald masks,

335
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,480

336
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: That changed my mind.

337
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want the valley no more. Dude want

338
00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:05,759
the valley kind of late and deciding, ain't you maybe

339
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,680
but not too late.

340
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:09,079
Speaker 6: You you won't we should give you back the two

341
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:09,880
thousand you paid it.

342
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,599
Speaker 4: Well, if that's it, we can't do it. Most of

343
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,039
it's spent.

344
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: I don't want the cash. I'm here to make a trade,

345
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:16,119
a trade.

346
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,079
Speaker 8: I got the papers here for you to sign and everything.

Lemon saw buckn be the witnesses.

348
00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:21,799
Speaker 4: Why you ain't even said what you want in trade

349
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:22,319
for yet?

350
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,759
Speaker 3: I'll give you back the valley for the lanes you got.

351
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,039
Speaker 4: Over whist Oh, so that's it.

352
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 3: You're getting all the best of.

353
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 4: The like blazers. I am. You've seen them surveyors over there,

354
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,640
and you want that land to sell of the railroad. Well, Bradley,

355
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,960
you listen to me. That land's mine and I ain't

356
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,160
selling it or trading it or giving it away. And

357
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:41,920
that's flat.

358
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,039
Speaker 3: Yeah.

359
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 4: Now you can get out here because we can't do business.

360
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: I reckon, we.

361
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 4: Will, I said, get out of here.

362
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 6: Cleazy, don't fight with him.

363
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,279
Speaker 4: I hold it out. You shoved him, Flashy. You'll trade

364
00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:54,920
me that, lamb.

365
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,599
Speaker 3: That's what you'll do.

366
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 4: You can't make me, Yeah, that's what you think.

367
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:01,759
Speaker 3: Got the time to waste any like I did before.

368
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:03,160
So we're getting this over.

369
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 7: With, right, now that land's mine and I'm keeping it.

370
00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:07,799
Speaker 3: Maybe you'll change your mind after I tell you a

371
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:10,319
few things. You First off, how do you think them

372
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,920
water holes in the valley got pisoned?

373
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 4: I gotta blame good notion.

374
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,519
Speaker 8: It was me and the boys done it. That was

375
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:17,839
when we figured it was the valley the railroad wanted you.

376
00:19:17,839 --> 00:19:21,000
You be, Maybe they'll show you we ain't to be

377
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:21,440
fooled with.

378
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 4: Go ahead and pison all the water holds your water.

379
00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:26,359
That don't make no difference now it's.

380
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,039
Speaker 3: Too late for that. It wouldn't make no difference now

381
00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:30,440
if we did. But there's other ways that change in

382
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:31,039
your mind.

383
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: Ways you maybe wouldn't like kind afraid show them?

384
00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 7: Sobok, sure, oh you're almost.

385
00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:41,759
Speaker 3: Stay where you are overhead, sobok.

386
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 6: Oh my face the base I brought with me from

387
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:45,799
the east.

388
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 8: Changing your mind yet, zeke, I'll have the long No

389
00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:51,079
you won't. There's three of us and only two of you.

390
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: I'll all have to take our word again yours.

391
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: They might kill you. You you got the papers with you.

392
00:19:58,279 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 12: You say, right here, give them to me.

393
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 4: I'll sign.

394
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 8: Now you're showing saints. You just put your name right there.

395
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Fellows didn't I tell you we weren't through yet. No,

396
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,519
I reckon maybe next time, you believe me.

397
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: At the point of a gun, Zeke was forced to

398
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,279
sign the papers, which returned him Cedar Valley in exchange

399
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:41,480
for the strip of land where the surveyors were active.

400
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,319
This done, he companied Duke and his men to town,

401
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,240
where the papers were notarized, but Zeke did not return

402
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:50,440
to his home. Instead, he remained in town until evening.

403
00:20:50,839 --> 00:20:53,240
We see him now in the cafe, watching the approach

404
00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:55,359
of Jerry Duncan and the second man.

405
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 4: How did Jerry, I've been waiting for you.

406
00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:01,319
Speaker 11: Gosh, she's good to see you again, Zie, she cares,

407
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:02,440
Missus Stanley.

408
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,039
Speaker 4: Glad to mean to Missus Stanley, it's a pleasure.

409
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 11: Missus Stanley's our superintendent.

410
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 4: Uh huh, I sit down, won't you. Eh?

411
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 13: Look, see that's you, Bradley. Then too many he is.

412
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,599
They're right way, they can hear everything it's said.

413
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: Let them that's what I want. I understand you are

414
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:19,039
the owner of Cedar Valley, mister Naggins that I am.

Would you be interested in selling? Not for no two

416
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,960
thousand dollars?

417
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,839
Speaker 11: That's all right, mister Stanley. It's just a little jokes.

418
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,039

00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:35,759
Speaker 3: What's going on here?

422
00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:37,839

00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: But it win't for long. I think I've heard of them.

426
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:48,839
I ask a question. I will answer one moment.

427
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 4: What business is this of yours?

428
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what business it is of mine. If

429
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,440
you're buying the valley for the rare road that.

430
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 3: I've been cheated?

431
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 4: Kate?

00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 3: Did you heard me? And buy that fella sitting right there?

Speaker 4: He's pinting at you.

434
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,279
Speaker 11: Jerry, I never cheated nobody.

435
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 3: I suppose you didn't tell me the rare wad was

436
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,519
going to Perryville.

437
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,319
Speaker 4: Nope, I didn't.

438
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,599

00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,839
put your eye you.

440
00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:11,279
Speaker 7: I tricked, and we're stuck with that land. It ain't

441
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:11,880
no good to us.

442
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,000

00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 4: Out O now it sounds like you got the rheumatic

00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,039
Speaker 7: Show you want a gun fight?

448
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 4: Huh, well, I heart hands.

00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,599
Speaker 3: All of you keep jails.

450
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:36,279
Speaker 11: It's you. I'm Kalen Duke, you and your part.

451
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,519
Speaker 7: You ain't cut nothing on earth.

452
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 4: That's where you're wrong. Go ahead, sheriff, jail You can't.

453
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,599
Speaker 3: Can't, got no reason.

454
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:44,799
Speaker 4: That's your own part. Going to jail, Duke. But she

455
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:47,400
and I were outside when you forced eat the trade back.

456
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,359
You made him except the valley at the point of

457
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:49,680
a gun.

458
00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:51,279
Speaker 3: The mask man's telling the truth, Duke.

459
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:53,559
Speaker 14: I seen it all, but he told us not to

460
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:55,799
do nothing else, and you tried to make couple over this, Steve.

461
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,759
Speaker 3: It's a frame up.

462
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,599
Speaker 4: But you're getting exactly what you deserve. And it was

463
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:02,160
a mask fella that done it. It was him and

464
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119
Tonto the god Jerry to bring his crew here to

465
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,799
survey that other land, so as you could think the

466
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,519
railroad had changed its past.

467
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 13: The first time I met up in the mask fella,

468
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,519
I figured him to be an outlaw.

469
00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:16,759
Speaker 11: I sure learned different. All right, do you fellas are

470
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:17,519
coming along with me?

471
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 10: I got a sail already picked out for you if

472
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,880
I ever get out of you won't Duke.

473
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 7: This is the worst luck I ever seen.

474
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 10: To think that we forced Zeke to take back the

475
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,599
land he wanted all the time, and then on top

476
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,400
of that, they have to.

477
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 7: Go to jail for beating ourselves out all that cash.

478
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,960
I don't care what you call it.

479
00:23:35,240 --> 00:24:25,599
Speaker 16: That ain't justice, Tom Silver, We're heaven for the real front.
