With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the daring and resourceful mask rider of the Plains led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoop beats of the great horse. Silver the Lone Ranger rides again. A frontier town of Red sand was five miles east of Fort Randolph and seven miles east of Apache Chief Black Bear's Indian village. Red sand was a lawless Town a paradise for crooked merchants and politicians who defrauded the government on orders for army supplies. Other victims were the soldiers, whose income, while monthly or seasonal, provided a bonanza for cheats who dotted the town. Two such crooks were Rip McKay and Buck Haskell. Their trading enterprises, most of them illicit, included gambling halls and a cafe. It was in their cafe that RIP McKay, after a trip to the territorial capital, joined his partner. Fuck. Did you hear the news? Chief Black Bear and his tribes have signed a peace treaty with the government. Do you mean that? Sure, I do that straight. The government's setting them up in a reservation only a few miles from the fort. Gonna give them cattle, set them to farm, and I'm gonna supply them with tools and seeds and everything else. If they do that, we're not gonna be able to sell them stuff. You haven't heard the worst, huh? What could be worse? That Congress back in Washington's cutting down on army expenses. The way I heard it, the government's reducing the number of posts in the territory from 18 to 9. Oh no. Hey, don't tell me they're going to get rid of Fort Randall. No, but they'll cut the number of soldiers stationed there. That means when payday comes, we'll have fewer suckers to relieve their money. We can't allow that to happen. But no siree, the only way to keep soldiers around is to go on stirring up the Indians. And the army will be forced to keep at full strength to fight em. Buck, let's start making plans to get things blazin'. Let's start now. And that's the best plan we've hit on yet, Rip. With most of the soldiers at Fort Randolph being sent to New Orleans like there were, there's only a skeleton garrison out there. And that garrison I heard today is out on a two day bivouac. If we strike tomorrow, we can pull off this thing easy. We'll want a real engine to lead our men, Rick. We have a real one, Buck. Howling birds. Just about the meanest redskin that ever breathed. I'll talk to him right now. He'll do anything I tell him to do. The renegade Indian howling bird, made rich by a few gold coins and the promise of fire. Water for time eternal. Planned with Rip McKay and Buck Haskell. That night they met with a group of 10 white men in the cabin hidden deep in the underbrush of Lost Gulch, which was to the north of Fort Randolph and the Apache village. The 10 white men were dressed in Indian regalia with their bodies Dyed brown and their hair greased and plastered down beneath the feathered bands that encircled their heads. Buck Haskell held a lantern in his hand and played it on the men as he scanned their disguises. I have already told you what to do. Now just remember, before you start things, let Howlin Bird do some talking. Stay in the background till he gives a signal by pretending to talk to you in engine language. Don't you want us to scalp a few of those settlers? Make it look real good? No, no, Eddie. There'll be enough real scalping before weeks past. By that time, Black Bear's engines will be doing it with no faking. Remember, keep away from Black Bear's village on your way south to Pinyon Creek. When you're coming back from there, stop at the outskirts of the village. That's when Howland Bird will plant the horses for the soldiers to find. And by next morning, the soldiers will be shooting up Black Bear's Injun tribe. And then the Injuns all over the territory will go on the warpath because they'll have to, to protect themselves from getting wiped out. But they'll get wiped out. On the following morning, Orin Snyder, leader of the colony of farmers who had settled along Pinyon Creek, had awakened before dawn. He was preparing breakfast for his wife in the candle lit main room of his cabin when the stillness outside was broken by the sound of horses. He laid aside a tin pan and started toward the window, now leaden colored with the first traces of day. Before he reached there, the cabin door burst open. An Indian, his face streaked with many colors, stood in the opening, a rifle held menacingly in his hands. Pale face, get up. Four birds. Me see light in window. What is it you want? Want all man, woman and village get up. Listen to word. Injun brave say you stay in your room, Sarah. Don't come out. What did you say? I heard horses outside. Oran and I get back into your room, Sarah. Oh, woman stay here. She'll not stay here. Keep quiet. Woman come outside. Men come outside. Orin. Orin. Don't be frightened. Sarah. Let me talk. Me say you come outside. You call chief a village. Tell em bring all man, woman outside. You not do then injured. He's gonna shoot. Wait. Lower your gun. I'll do as you say. Orland Snyder gathered the members of the colony together. Howling Bird's band of pseudo Indians covered the settlers with their guns. Remaining at a distance, however, so that their disguises could not be penetrated. Howling Bird talked to the assembled men, women and children. Me bring message from great chief of Apaches, Blackbeard. Him say Pale Face go. This country belong to Injuns. You go. But we have an agreement with Chief Black Bear. We made peace with him when we came here. That happened long time ago. Now there's no more peace. You go. You not go. Injun kill. Scalpel. You can't do this. Our soldiers at Fort Randolph witnessed the agreement we made with your chief. Engines make soldier go to kill soldiers. Kill all Pale Face, no matter where. It's suicide for your tribe if you do. We in this village do not believe in the use of firearms. Me not savvy. My wife means guns. We don't use them, but our white brothers do. And they'll fight you. Our soldiers will come from everywhere in great numbers. The Indians will not have a chance if that happens. Pale Face make heat, big talk. Injuns laugh at talk. Injuns on warpath. Give Pale Face last chance to go. You not go. Injuns kill em all. We'll not go. We'll not leave here. Take us to your chief. He's paying no attention to you. He's talking to those Indians with him. What's he saying? I don't know. I can't understand. Now. Injun make sure Pale Face go. Half the men with Howling Bird lit torches and ran from cabin to cabin and to the storage hut supplying flames. The other five men aimed their guns at the suddenly aroused settlers. Stop those braves from setting fire to our homes. They're destroying our food. And stop them, I say. I'll kill you. You not kill nobody, Orin darling, or your shot. As Orin Snyder fell to the ground, wounded, the men of the group, aroused to a fury, started for the men they believed to be Indians. But the crooks themselves, afraid, fired at the charging. As the white men fell to the ground, Warren Snyder, still conscious, spoke to his wife. It's no use. Tell our men to stand back. We don't want any more of them killed. Yes. Stop it. Stop it. Don't shoot anymore. Stop it. Sarah Snyder, pleading with settlers and gunmen brought a stop to the shooting. The colonists, stunned and bewildered, paid no attention now to the flaming cabins or to the men who were visiting destruction upon them. Instead, they knelt beside their fallen men and began to administer to them. The sun was above the horizon when shortly after Howling Bird and his cohorts rode away from the flaming settlement. They were herding the colonists horses along with them. When they were a mile from the scene of destruction, one of the crooks brought his horse up beside Howling Bird. We did it like Grip wanted, huh? When are we going to drop off the horses we're chucking? Not till we get near engine village. Me take horses, then sneak them into Injun horse line so soldiers find them. After pain filled weeks in the home of Clarabelle Hornblow, the Lone Ranger had completely recovered from his wound. He had regained his strength in full measure and set out with Toto to ride again the western trails. After leaving the Hornblow ranch, the masked man and his Indian companion attended a meeting between government officials and Apache tribal chiefs in the territorial capital. Officials had requested the Lone Ranger to carry a message to the commanding officer at Fort Randolph. Now, on the last leg of his journey to the fort, he and Toto had camped for the night on the bank of Pinyon Creek. They were preparing to leave their campsite when looking through a clearing, the masked man saw smoke billowing into the sky a few miles away. Otto, there's a bad fire straight ahead. Me see near the colony on Pinion Creek. Come on. Easy, fella. The Lone Ranger and Toto arrived at the scene of the fire and found the farm colony almost completely destroyed. Their arrival was greeted with apprehension at first, but the Lone Ranger introduced himself and Tonto and assisted in treating the men who had been wounded. Sarah Snyder told the story of the Indian raid while Tonto studied the hoof prints left by the marauders. The Lone Ranger was puzzled. I don't understand what may have caused the Indians to do this. The one who led them said that Chief Black Bear sent him with a message that white men leave the territory at once. That's the most puzzling part. I happen to know that Chief Black Bear hasn't been near his village in more than a week. What? Chief Black Bear and the chiefs of all the tribes in the Apache nation are meeting with government representatives from Washington. They're together as they have been for a week in a place many miles from here. Why should they meet together? Because they're arranging the final details of a treaty. A treaty that should bring lasting peace to this part of the West. It's an Indian trick, that's what it is. Perhaps you're right. Yet it's hard to believe. Chief Black Bear has always been a man of his word. Kimasabe. Yes, Toto? Me look at hoof prints and I'm easy to follow. What? Strange thing, Kimasabe. What is that? Taro horses wear shoes. Only fine mark of one horse doth not wear shoes. That is strange. Why should it be? I. I don't understand. Indians don't shoe their horses, Mrs. Snider. But the men who came here were Indians. Maybe they stole the horses they rode. They took ours. That may be the answer. Otto. We'll leave now. Give us something easy. Go east. That's the direction we're heading. Easy said it. Big fell. We'll follow the trail left by the Indians and send aid as quickly as possible. Mr. Snider. Adios. Adios. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Everyone deserves to be connected. That's why T Mobile and US Cellular are joining forces.

Kishana wanted to pay homage to her son. I lost my son to cancer when he was just 14 years old and to UnitedHealthcare to make a difference. She instantly made an impact on others. Anything that I could do to honor him, I understood. I was once that person on the other side. Through her work, she's been able to turn her pain into purpose. I do it for my boy. He gave me so much. Hear more stories like Hishanna's@uhc.com. Sam. Now to continue. Renegade Indian Howling Bird and the crooks disguised as Indians had fled from Pinyon Creek an hour before the Lone Rangers arrival. There they rode until they were a short distance from Chief Black Bear's village. Then, while the rest of the gang waited, Howling Bird and Whitey rode away herding the horses they had stolen from the colonists. They reached the picket line on the outskirts of the Indian village and led the stolen horses among those of the Apaches. It was then that Indian braves saw them and Thinking they were horse thieves, began to shoot. While he sped away on his horse, he heard Howling Bird cry in pain and turned to see the renegade Howling Bird plunge from his horse, Hit by many bullets. Get up there. Go on. Get up. White. He reached the waiting crooks a few minutes later. Injured. Sauce. They started to plan. We had to run away. We were outnumbered. Watch. Where's Howlenberg? Dead. They got him. They'll be after me. All the braves of the village. Let's get away mute fast. Yeah, we better wait. Wait just a second. Kansas. Yeah, Whiting. We gotta let Rip and Buck know what happened. Ride the red sand and tell em rigged up in these engine clothes. Who's gonna notice ya? Ride Bass and go into town by the back road. Now. Go ahead. Get up there. Come on. Come on, boys. We'll get back to goats in the hideout. Get up. Shortly after Whitey and the crooks had ridden away, the Lone Ranger and Toto appeared. They saw before them a band of more than 30 Indians leading a line of riderless horses. Too late to avoid meeting, the Lone Ranger warned Toto. Those are Apaches. The horses with them are the ones they stole. Also in it. The Apaches, with guns raised, rode in fast and made a tightening ring around the Lone Ranger and Tahoe. Then one of the braves, older than the others, raised his hand as a signal for the other riders to stop. The Lone Ranger greeted the man. Blue Thunder. How? How where come from? Man who hide face? We've followed your trail here, Blue Thunder. It is a bad thing you and your brothers have done. What you mean kill horse thief? Not bad thing to kill horse thief. Who is bad? Indian like Howling Bird is good thing. Howling Bird? The renegade. You killed him. We see him with horses. Make him steal horses. Shoot, kill him. Indian with him. Get away. Now we follow him. Buy new trail here. Many horses see marks the trail of the shod horses. Certainly Todd and I have followed it from Pinyon Creek. Do you mean that trail wasn't made by your horses? No. Blue Thunder and brothers come from Indian village. But these horses you're leading, where did you get them? They're shod. Briefly, Blue Thunder told of trailing the horsemen who had been with Howling Bird when, for reasons beyond their understanding, the renegade had left the stolen horses on the Indian picket line. The Lone Ranger too was puzzled by this. There seems to be no doubt about it, though. The horses Howling Bird left. The horses you have with you now they belong to the white men on Pinyon Creek. Then the Lone Ranger told of the settlement that had been destroyed and related the story Sarah Snyder had told him. Blue Thunder and the braves who understood the masked man story were angry. What howling birds say to white brothers is not true. It big lie. Chief Black Bear not send message for white brothers to go. Apaches not shoot white brothers not start fire, not steal horses. We must convince the soldiers at Fort Randolph that this is so. If they think no soldiers at Fort Randolph now them go away. Make camp. Only small guard, one officer there. Blue Thunder know this. Soldiers come back to fort tomorrow. But these Indians whose trail you picked up may be miles away from here by tomorrow. Their trail may be lost by then. Apaches chase them now away. Blue Thunder. Just a few minutes. Let me tell you an idea I have in mind. Once more the Lone Ranger spoke, but this time he outlined a plan. Blue Thunder, on hearing it, discussed with his tribesmen. Then he said. Man who hide face say wise things. Good for Apaches. Good for white brothers, bad for Indians. We chase. You'll do what I suggested then? Ah. We send braves, three in number, back to Apache camp. Them get food. Them bring food and medicine herbs to white brothers at Pinyon Creek. Get young braves who stay in camp now to bring back horses that belong to white brothers at Pinyon Creek. At Blue Thunder's orders, braves sped back to the Apache camp for food and help. Two other braves minded the settlers horses awaiting the return of the younger Apaches who would come from the camp and lead the stolen horses back to Pinyon Creek. Get them up. Come. Toto sped away to notify the garrison at Fort Randolph. The Lone Ranger, Blue Thunder and the Apaches picked up the trail of the crooks. They followed it until they reached the entrance to Lost Gulch. An hour later. Blue Thunder. The trail the men were after leads down into the gulch. Ah, plenty trees down there. Good place to hide. Yes. That's why I suggest we dismount here and a few of us go on ahead. Easy. Steady. The Apaches dismounted with a masked man and Blue Thunder. The Indian leader, ordered his braves to hide with their horses in the nearby woods. Blue Thunder and the Lone Ranger set off stealthily along the still fresh trail of the men they pursued. Kelly, one of the crooks disguised as Indians, had been left to stand guard on top of the wooded hill a short distance from the hideout cabin where his pals were waiting. He turned suddenly when he heard a noise behind him. Don't try to yell. Be put knife and throat. Make yell at you. Stopping. He doesn't understand my words. He certainly understands that knife there. You nearly choked me to death. You're not an Indian. Come here. Let me see. No. Of course you're not him. Make believe Indian. Keep that Indian away from me. He'll kill me. That knife. He'll cut me. Hold it, Blue Thunder. Spare this man's life and let him talk. You were at Pinyon Creek, weren't you? Weren't you? Yeah, yeah, I was there. I didn't start this thing. I'll tell you all about it. It's like this. Me and some of the boys was told we could make a lot of money. An hour passed, and inside the hideout cabin. Whitey, one of the ape men in Indian costume peered through the window. It's starting to get dark. Better light that lamp. The bosses will be getting here soon. Hey, Callie. Whitey. What is it? Callie? You better come outside. I want you to see something. Hurry them all. Watch out there. What do you want? Kelly? Hey, Kelly. What is it? You engines. Real ones, boys. Don't go for your guns. Look at engines everywhere. Don't shoot again. You make move, we shoot to kill. They have us, boys. We give up. We give up, boys. They made me do it. They made me get you out here. The masked man. Watch out, men. Come on, horses. While half the Apaches kept the bogus Indians covered, the Lone Ranger and the others turned to face the riders heard approaching from the underbrush. One of the riders was Toto. The other was a captain of the United States Army. Me here shot Kimasabe. Right plant. You catch bad Injuns. Yes, Toto. Only they're not real Indians. Captain. What's the name? I decided to come with Tano when he told me what had happened. I've sent a messenger to call our men in from Bivouac. What's the story here? The Lone Ranger told him. Then he concluded, but this man. Callie tells us, Captain, that the leaders of the conspiracy are due here at any time. They have further plans. I think we should learn what they are before arresting them. By all means. Is that going to be possible, though? Yes, I think so. Here's what I have in mind. We'll tie up these crooks and let the Indians take them a short distance from here. Then we'll have Blue Thunder next to the rain. It was Dusk When Rip McKay and Buck Haskell arrived at the hideout with the crook Kansas. They burst into the cabin where a lamp in the center of the room cast grotesque shadows on the painted faces of the men in Indian costume. We couldn't get here sooner, boys. Kansas had a hard Time finding us. It's too bad Howlenburg got himself killed. But we. We can't worry about that. We've decided it's no use waiting till tomorrow to start some real killing. We have to work fast before the soldiers get back to the fort. So they'll have more reason to start shooting up the Apache. Yes, that's right. The sooner we get a war started, the better it'll be for us. Now we want. Hey. Say, what's the matter with you hombres? Why don't you say something? Because we want to hear what you say. Well, if I'm talking. Hey, who are you? Hey, Rip. Oh, no. He's not one of our men. No, he's not your men either. These are real engines. Apaches. Keep away from us, Injun. They'll kill us. Rip. Shoot. Shoot. Owl. Stop that gun. Oh, my wrist. I'm shot. I take your gun. No, my arm. You're breaking it down. There's a masked man here too. Take him. He's your president. Oh, no. They got me. I'm shot. Now they're going to kill me. No, they're not making you prisoners. You stand with other bad umbrellas. Captain Nami. Captain. Yes? You two are under arrest. These Indians whom you try to get killed at the hands of our men will march you back to the fort with the rest of your gang. They're being held outside. You'll not make Apaches go to war against white brothers. These Apaches are helping the settlers at Pinyon Creek. McKay. If one settler dies, you and Haskell and your gang will hang. And before you die, you'll help build cabins and storehouses for them once more. You'll go to jail for many years regardless for trying to start an insurrection. Your men have told us the reason for your despicable plot. The government will put you and the crooked traitors like you out of this territory for good. You. You learned all these things fast. How me tell you how. Because mask man trail and find your bad men. Make them talk. You. You mean the masked man who was just here? Yes. I notice he's already left the cabin. But I know who he is. And the army and I are grateful to him. He's the lone Rang, Sam. Everyone deserves to be connected. That's why T Mobile and US Cellular are joining forces.
