[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

in town, men gathered in the cafe each evening. From time to time a small back room was used by those who sought for privacy for their low voiced conferences. In the back room of the cafe, Baldy Hanover, the notorious outlaw, sat with two of his cronies when they heard a significant knock on the private entrance, should t you too? That might be cleaving. It might not be. I get my guns ready just in case. Jake, you open that door. Right. What do you want? All the Hanover? Stop all this spitting around and let me in to see it. All right, Cleve, come in. Shut that door, Jake. It's right easier to see the President of the United States and you Hanover. What do you want of me anyhow? What's the idea of all this foolishness? Sit there, Cleave. I suppose you start over. Speak in a more respecting way respecting of you why you stayed to us. I self respect him. If he wasn't ready to take orders from me, he wouldn't be here. All right then, you'll win. Show your hand. Only tell me why you had to be marched the side of the building by the barkeeper and then made to hand over my gun. Jake, you got your gun on you? Nope. The only guns in this party are held by me and my pride. Lefty there you ain't no better than Jake Smith, Cleave. What's more, I ain't yet explained why I wanted you two gunslingers here. If you don't like my play, you can leave and get your guns. If you decide to go in with me, you'll get your guns and hear more plans. Been with you already. Didn't ride all the way from the trigger bend country for the fresh air. I'd get need case bad enough to take orders from you to get it good. The law must be real lax around here if you were allowed to hang your hat. Yeah, I. I got friends here, Cleave. Watch your scheme, get to the point so they can start drinking to it. The point ain't far from here. Have you ever heard of the Lone Regime? I should hope to say so. Good, that saves explaining. Now then, Lefty, you tell Cleave your side of it. Lefty works in the Western Union office. You said he. Yeah, I see all the messages that goes to the wires from my office. So? Well, a few days ago, an old settler here came into my office. Her name's Maggie something or ever, but she's called Mustang Mag. She come in and hammer it on the counter with a fist that looked as hard as any man's ever seen. I'll be there when I get there. Take it easy.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

I've got to have some service and quick. All your horses gag ratcher. Lefty just hears an important message and it's to get sent to Washington D.C. i read a powerful long ways to get here. And you stood step library.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

All right, all right. Where's the message and who's it?

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

First, there's a name and address. I hope you can read.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

You mean this man?

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

That's what it says, ain't it? Now, you get that, Do a clicking.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

But there ain't no name signed to this.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

You put them two letters on the bottom. That's all you got to do. The gent that gets the message will know what it means.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Yeah? Yes. And I'll send to a funnel right away. Well, you can tell that the message was a mighty important one by the way I told you I acted. What was the message? It said that the man that sent it was holding important papers that he couldn't deliver. It was laid up with bad wounds. I'll take over now, Lefty Cleave. The man that sent the message was the Lone Ranger. And he's in bed at Mustang Mag's ranch hovering between life and death with bullet wounds. Lone Ranger is. Yes, sir. So we're going to get the paper he has. It's mighty important and worth plenty to the government. Once we get our hands on that paper, we can tell Uncle Sam where to get off at. We can get a full pardon for all this chalk to forget us. Yeah. You sure of that, Baldy? Ain't that sure. That's why I sent for you. I thought you'd be interested in helping us. Not only me, nor plenty of others with a price on their heads they'd be willing to do the same. We'll just write a player and take it. If we gotta shoot, we'll shoot. But what about the cash you said we could get? Just how much cash do you figure folks would raise if they had to do it? To ransom off the Lone Ranger? Plenty thousands more than that. Yeah. Now, look. We'll take him with us. Savvy? No good, Baldy. Why no good? Well, that's been tried before. Shucks, we wouldn't have a chance of capturing the Lone Ranger. Well, that's been tried and tried. They'd been going outright. The way I got things planned, it'll be a cinch. Has the government sent a reply to that message? Nope. Not by telegraph, anyhow. They do. I'll know about it. Might be worth talking over. No harm in planning. Anyway, as I said, I know a lot of good gunslingers that I can get to help us out. Keep talking. I think I heard something move outside the door. Sure, I can get a lot of gunslingers. Men that'll fall right into line with us. Good men. Now wait for a trigger come in here. Now, wait. Listen. Hold on outside the door, huh? Where the butter boy can be all right. I was listening. I heard what you said. You admitted, eh? I admit it. And you ain't going to do it. What? I've been here a good many years. I know enough to keep my mouth, my eyes shut to plenty of things that went on. But this year is different. So what do you figure out doing? Baldy, you can't overgin the Lone Ranger. You can't do it. Who'll stop me? Every man jack in town. But ain't a man or boy here that wouldn't start gun fighting to start such a scheme as you're talking about. Well, they know about it. If you don't tell them, I will tell them. I had my gun now, Cleave. I got mine. Jake. Shut that door. Baldy. You don't ask. Don't hey. We'll see about that. You acted mighty careless just now, bartender. Too careless. It's going to mean that you'll have to be fixed so she ain't able to toil. No, no. Listen to me, Baldy. Don't be a fool. I don't have to be. You can't fight every man in town. They were in your plan somehow. If you got any last words, take him.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Oh, me Norm.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Well, don't matter anyhow. The barkeeper would get all the men in town to come here if they're needed. Baldy had a notion to kidnap the Lone Ranger.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Maybe that's why a friend want to leave. That right?

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

He's nodding. But why'd you want to leave here? There ain't in town where a pledge to stand off a handful of Stephen Polkax.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

You not know him.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

I told her no.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

More.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

More than a dozen? Well, there'll be 50 men from town that ought to be printed.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

You mean, you say Baldy can get more than 50 men to come here?

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

That's right.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Baldy in quarter breed. Quarter breed in Part Indian, part Apache. Himgut Indian.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

That's right.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Here, here.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Get that wiped out. Can't stay.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Well, you're going to stay. And if the whole town has to be wiped out in your defense, I can't think of no way. Them minutes. Soon it dies.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

One horse raced like mad through the night. Old Missouri, the close friend of Mustang Mag, hurried to the house where the Lone Ranger was recovering from his wound.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Hey, are you at home? You start over here. The story lands sake. It's how time you got here. I was in town. The bar sheep at noon. We got there, huh? Then you know about the Doggy Hanover gang. Yeah. I didn't wait for no details. I'll come here fast. Missouri, listen. Step off in the porch so I can talk to you. Mag, them out boys won't have a chance. Missouri, we're in trouble. Up to the neck and getting deeper. Huh? Balder Hanover has ideas. A special stealing the paper that belongs to the government and stealing the Lone Ranger at the same time. What's your government paper? It tells all about plans to renegade armies over the Boulder. The Lone Ranger was supposed to turn it over to Colonel Blake, but he was shot before he could do it. Show now what? I sent a message to Washington explaining about that paper. Lefty in the telegraph office told Balder Hanover and Ball the doctor make trouble. Get that narration. He won't get far. That's what I thought. Of course he won't. Every man in town will be hearing at first. At first? What do you mean by that? The Lone Ranger is still determined to get away from this house. Baldy has a whole band of Apache engines to work with them. The men they'll fight. He'll have more than they can handle.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Golly.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

We can't let the Lone Ranger leave. He done so once. A near broad on his death. He's got to stay here to gain his will. Watch time. Oh, poor engine. He's sick with worry. He figured to leave the lor here. Tonto says he can't be moved. He just can't. That's all there is to it. That settles it then. Tonto's up again. An injury that he can't handle. He's real worried about his friend. Mag. Do you mean to say the O Ranger mayn't get well? Tonto says he should have showed signs for better before now. As he if. What if the things Canto was doing was helping him? Oh, Missouri, why ain't there some real good doctors around here? I dunno. Tanto was telling me this. I'm much needed a surgeon for one thing. One that knows more about treating wounds than Tanta does. Medicines to give him back his strength and things to fight the infection and the fever. Mag, them things is needed. Sure. Sure enough. But we ain't got em.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

I know.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

We ain't talking of them. Ain't finding a way to lick the redskins. I know it ain't man got quiet. Look into the window there, huh? Look at Tonto. There he is on his knees beside the Lone Ranger's bed.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Six alive.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Take a look at that Missouri and see something the good Lord may never let you see again. An injuncy, his creator.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

And it won't only be the life

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

of the Lone Ranger he'll be asking for. Don't.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

The Lone Ranger not given strength to leave. Please spare life of all men from town. Listen. What's the matter with you? Go. All it takes a few words is a promise to me. Look what happens. Them redskins are sure walking themselves up to the wolf ass. That promise when that Chad hits me too, makes me ready to fight. We'll show them Silver what happens when they try to stop us. Calm yourself in.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Now listen to me.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

What is it? How soon do you think the redskins will be ready to start? How long can we wait? The better home Ranger may leave Mag place. No, he won't. If he was able to leave, he wouldn't let her send that telegram. That's so leave those critters dancing. Sing. Let it go till noon. Let him go all night and all morning. By noon they'll be rare at the fight wasted time was stretching. They got to get born mad before they'll tackle the sippies. How many would you say are here? 2, 300? Enough. I want atlety enough. More than enough to wipe out everyone that's in our way. I knew tomorrow we'll be making our attack. My son said at the latest we'll have the moon way, John. While the Indians shouted and danced with wild leaps about their council fires, the townsmen brought their weapons to mustang mags. As each group of pioneers arrived in the course of the night, Tonto met the men and told them the unpleasant news. Apache and plenty savage Indian come without law, without exception. The men reacted in the same way. We're here to stick. Santo told the men that it was the Lone Ranger's desire to have no lives lost.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

He wanted Missouri and me leave him too.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

That's just like him.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Wanted to be left here alone and die. That's right. I'll be captured with just a sure thing.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

We're here to stick. Look, here's Apache's coming. Thing to do is to make a stand inside the house.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Well, that's how I figured it. I got the house fixed as best I can do. The furniture is moved back.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Some of us can take fire and post in the barn.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

That's a good idea.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Some on the second floor of the house.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Yeah, Poke Some holes in the roof if you want. Just big enough to stick a rifle through.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

Yeah, the more points of fire we have, the better. You go inside and get organized. No telling how soon the attack will start.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

It won't be long, I can promise you that.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

The sun rose with about 50 men in place in Mustang Nik's house and barn. The Lone Ranger, his face drawn by weakness and saddened by the sight of so many friends who stood ready to lay down their lives in his defense, was on a bunk in the center of the house barricaded by upturned tables and trunks.

[Supporting Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

I've got plenty of strong coffee for you boys. Just yell out when you want something.

[Narrator/Actor (Lone Ranger Story)]

We will, Mag.
