Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Mustang Mag closed the door of the Lone Ranger sick room behind her and then walked across the living room and out on the porch of the ranch house. Old Missouri was sitting on the bottom step.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
How is he?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Oh, I think he's a little stronger. Hard to tell. He's getting some sleep now and that ought to help.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Neale toward the hills.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
There's a couple of hombres riding this way.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
One of them's an engine, One of them's Tono? Yep. It can't receive that pain.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
And that's a scope riding with him.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
What are we going to do? We're sure burning the wind. This means trouble, man.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Oh, how do you know? Draw a rein on that imagination of yours and wait till they get here. There's no call to jump the conclusion.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I always say four war is four alarms, Missouri, if you don't stop crying before you hurt. Don't you throw that at me. Oh, God, Raymond, to throw something. I can see it in your eyes. I'd like to pull the house at you. That man earth carnally from around here. That's what I see.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Means trouble.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
And you got one thing right anyhow.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
He's dressed like a scowl.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Injuns, man. He's come to warn us.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
The Apaches are on the war path. They'll burn us out by night.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
You'll be stuck for airs like a pincushion. And you'll be sorry for the way you treated me.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Never can tell nothing from John's face.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
You'll be sorry for Mingmai. Ah, for that stuff full of errors. I won't waste any time you insist.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Sorry for you.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
What's up, Charles?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Me bring sculps from wagon train.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Oh, welcome, stranger.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Howdy, ma'.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Am.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I'm Jim Carson.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
They call me Mustang Mag.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
What's on your mind? Well, ma', am, I'm guiding the big wagon train of immigrants to the Santa Clara valley. It's most 300 miles from here to the west. Government just opened that land to a settler.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Yeah, I've heard about it.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
There's close to 150wagons. It's quite a sight, Tono. I reckon your max friends will be called for Black Sea again. Has Jim wake now? Well, he's been sleeping, but I ain't a doubt that he's woke up with hearing all that's been going on here. If he ain't awake, it'll want to be. He keeps writing me notes to let him see you anytime we get here. Me go in house now, Take message to friends. You will not speak. Tanko may talk, you write note. I only go like you say. Find supper on way to west, then want to ride through this valley. All right. That good. You write message and how to read it. Carlton, we're all going to be guided by whatever the Lone Ranger tells Tanto. You see you folks on the wagon train may be all right, but. Well, dad, Brady Dole, we don't want a wagon trail to run through here. There's no reason why, it should. Mag. This valley isn't on the direct route to California. It's the shortest way to Santa Clara. But there may be a heap more
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
folks going to Santa Clara. We can't let a trail get started.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Now, look, Meg. Think of all the folks in the wagon train. Women, kids, old men. It's dangerous to go south of the ridge. You wouldn't want things to happen to those folks, would you? I don't know. I ain't the one saying I. Tonto. What's the wrong way to say Tonto? Him right. Now, let me see. Does he know of the wagon train? Oh, sure, he knows he's being kept advised of things.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
And he has ways of looking ahead for what might happen.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Writes that I'm to go see Miller of the Bar M range. He's head of the cabinet around here. After seeing Miller, we speak with Farnsworth. Farnsworth? Who's he? Well, he's the head of the homesteaders in this section.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Hey, old, get bet.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Saddle up for me. Why speak to Miller and Ponsw.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I'll tell you why, Jim Carson.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
If they don't object to your going through here, it's all right.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
But if they do object, and I'll
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
bet my neck they will.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
And you've got plenty of fighting on your hands.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I'll go with you.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Good enough. What about you, Candle?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Me? Stay here. You think we've seen our sick friend? Still anti sick. Countle. Not happy. There ain't no question about him getting well, is there? Me not know. Come to stay, watch. Plan for time. Come on, Carson. The rebel would better go and follow the Lone Ranger's orders. But, Mr. Mill. There's no buts about it. My answer is no. Our herds graze right down to the river. What's to stop those immigrants from cutting out all the Ceres they want? They can get their first beef somewhere else.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Evergreen things keep going. And how are we going to check?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
There's been no spring roundup yet. And there's no cow in the herds. And there it reminds me. You'd want to follow the river through the valley, wouldn't you? Well, that'd be most convenient. Sure. 150 wagons, Mag. They break down all the earthworks we built against the spring flood. The river's rising already, but the banks all trampled down. The whole valley might get flooded. But we promise not. My answer is no. Nothing's going to change. Oh, it's no use out there in constant.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
He's a cattleman, and the immigrants are farmers. That means we're fighting against the lawful prejudice.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Brass man wouldn't give up so easy.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I'm not giving up. We'll try farms with you.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Wouldn't have no objection if the train
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
were down home steady side of the
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
river, would you, Miller? That's up to them on this side they don't settle for.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Come on, Carlson.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
No.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Now listen to me.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
No. We got more to lose than the ratchet. What's the loss of a few head of cattle compared to losing our winter wheat? Be like an army marching through outback. Millers play with all the guns we got worse. Smash down the bank so our fields will be footed. We can't grow rice in this climate.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Well, there's a wrong.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
That's not my answer, Mag. We'll guard that path night and day. They'll have to fight to get through and they can't. Jim Carsons and Mag were silent as they returned to the ranch where Santo waited with the Lone Ranger. Missouri was on the porch as the couple rode up.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I can tell what happened. You didn't get nowhere at all, did you, Mag?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Sure stubborn. Now I don't know what we can do.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Now, don't you give up yet, Carsons. By Juniper, the Lone Ranger has something working in his head. He's been right in quest since the town of. What's wrong?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I don't know.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Dondo come out one time and ask me how high the swing waters in the river was. Yes, dad.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Yep.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
And then he asked if the water
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
wasn't higher than it had been another year.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I don't know what he's wanting that
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
information fer Lone Ranger. He must realize that the only hope of the people I'm guiding is to go through here. I reckon he's aware of that all right now, cousin. Seems he must have also known what the answer from Farnsworth Miller would be. Reckon so.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
But what's he figuring to do with him?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Oh, Tavrilla, that's all. Ranger says what your friends say. Barnsworth and Miller. They say no wagons not to be
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
allowed through the valley.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
You tell wagons to come through this valley? That's right.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
But that'll only start a shooting match.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
There's still old Ranger and old alder
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
store McElay, but grab it.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Now. Farnsworth and Miller and all the rest
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
know the wagons are coming.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
They'll be organized and ready for them.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
If you hadn't said nothing, maybe the
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
wagons could have got through the valley
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
before the folks got organized to fight them.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
We may have made a mistake. By ginger. I wonder if the Lone Ranger wanted the folks here to be organized.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Sorry. All right, all right. I'm keeping still.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Tell them come through valley, me stay here. You heard him, Carsons.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Go on now.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Bring your folks through.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I don't sat rewire.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
A lone ranger with a doggone interest in the high water in the mountain streams. Here. Message for me. You read it. A message?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Yes. For more details about the high water.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
You know this part country plenty good. Hey, by thunder. This sure makes the whole plan of
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
the Lone Ranger sound more mysterious than ever. How's that? He said that the immigrants will be needed here. They'll earn their passage through the valley.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Earn it how?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Tangers.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I know, but he says they'll be needed.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
So get riding. Jim Carson call, bring them here.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I don't see nothing of the river you was talking about. Wait until we get on the other side. River flows west, east, it goes to that and then cut north. It'll get me on the reef.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I'm not interested in the river. What I'm worried about is what else you'll find on the other side of the reef.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I don't know.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
There's going to be trouble. I can feel it.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
You've heard of the Lo Ranger, haven't you?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I've heard of him all right. I've heard that. He can't help it.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
He told me to bring you here. I don't blame Cary for being worried, though. You also told us what the ranchers near Farmer said. Wings looking pretty tight, Carson.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
If we had to turn back, we'll have lost six teams. We'll have gone most 100 miles out of our wings.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I'm putting my peace in the long ranges.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Pull those wagons along big little paths. Keep a mowin boy.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Get my message? You did. I brought half a hundred men with me. They'll spotted them an hour ago. That means they'll be coming through the parish any minute. And it means we can't waste any time. How are your boys? Sick for ammunition. Got their concrete spells all loaded. They need any more. Tell them to see Bill. Let's get going. If they get a chance to make a circle inside the valley, they can stand us off a long time. We gotta stop them while they're still in single file. I'm just wondering. Wondered about what? They're trying to force their way through the valley after we told them not to. And looking for a bike, Hino. What's more, they won't be disappointed. Into your saddles, man.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
We're riding for the pass.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
When you see those Paris Coolers open fire. Ranchers and settlers combined to ride against the oncoming emigrants. Meanwhile, Tonto sat with the Lone Ranger. I come tattoo now my bad patriot, huh? Yeah, you're right. Water high. Water plenty high. You write how to read it and how to do what you say.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Hurry up. Mr. Waif. A mercy take you them horses saddles. I am as fast for kin.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I hope to goodness the Lone Ranger has some suggestion. Tom Glicado's coming on the run from the house.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Oh, he is?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Me ride. You see high water. Make sure water plenty high.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
That's thunder. All rain are coming. Never mind a rain.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
You go lead rancher to river. Time of Let them fight.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I've stop a fight. We're winging now. Help McDoy.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Let's all up a toad. Get off girl. Come on.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
That thunderstorm is going pretty quick. They're land of thunder. Look yonder. That has the horror of.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Geez.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Must be 200 men right in the head of us. Look at him. There's the lightest turn and give conscience. You stole on some crazy fool's weapons for me. There's nothing to say, Mag.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Just go to be on guard, that's all.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Shoot up lots of innocent people. You can't do it, Mag.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
We told you inconstance how we felt. We don't even have our orders disobeyed. But you can't constantly drive this way. What's it mean, Mag? Why aren't he heading the wagon south?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I'll tell you why. Hey. Oh, my sakes alive. I don't think no way for this hand without guns. I'm living away in the heavy room.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
And if you men open fire, we'll fire away.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Well, we'll open fire, Penny man. You get out of our way, Bank. It's starting to ring. And maybe we tell the story. Get such a lesson for me.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
This ain't no graceful woman.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Off your guns to all of you. Not a chance.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Grab the bright little horse man.

Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Both Carsons and Missouri were roped hand and foot. Mustang Mag's horse was led toward the rear. But just as Miller and Fongsworth turned their attention to the wagon train, they heard her cry out.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Lay your hands on me. I'll friends you've got.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Look.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
She's goose.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
He's heading back here. Just as if we didn't have enough
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
trouble and board of your car.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
You only get hurt.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Mag.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
You know how you feel about that wagon train. And nothing's going to change our mind.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
You two got in there for the long ranger.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
That's a fine question to ask. Of course we have. What's he got to do with this?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Don't hear about it. If you give me a chance to speak. A chance?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
There's nobody yet could stop you talking
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
when you set your mind, do you?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Come on out with it, Mag.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
First thing. You got to take these off coffin. Me too. Make it better than you'll tie it up. You don't get in the way. I'm tired, man.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
What about the little ranger?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Don't listen everybody. It was him that said for these immigrants to come here. He said they could earn their rights across the valley.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
That's what it is. Can I tell us how before we open fire?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
There'll be no gun fighting today.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Hurry up.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
I couldn't figure out what he meant
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
myself for a long time.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
And then just a little while ago he told me to lead you all to the river. Thank you.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Farmers never grant we'll have no truck with them. Here's one of the wagons coming his way.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Our storm and our brutal felony. Doctor. You Lord. That's right. Well, there's a woman driving. There's a man with us. You need their help. You need the help of every one of these immigrants. The women that so bad got a trap and the men of Dirk.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Huh? Who can't believe us. It's rising. But we got the earthwork still plenty higher.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
All right. You don't think so?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Get him up and go look behind you.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
There's Scarboro coming. He's coming. Back door. The mess can't send him.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
We have to clear out.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
No. We need you.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I don't say we tell Sarah.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
And then you eat a p. We need everybody in the valley.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
He's talking like we're in for a plant.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
You can feel this rain. Can't you? You can feel it sing and bite into your face. The wind is driving the top of the mountain. Maybe the ball rain there. Maybe it's kind of raining. What should I guess about it? Cargo can tell us.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Is it going to be a blessing?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Bad.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
All stream and mountain run high. June river flow over bank. Flood valley. I am. You go to war at the river.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Man. Guys.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Man.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
What are they going to do? Something you ain't got no taste for.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
They're going to work close enough to leverage.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Can we have this pure tank? I'll lead you to the river.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
All you folks in the wagon train
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
are going to earn your rights across the valley. Just like the Lone Ranger said. There's only one thing I'm full for.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Glass.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Except there'll be a valley left to
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
cross when the flood's over.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Follow me. Here's some more of them. Set. Boy. All right. Get Bo.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Just hold the magic army. Ho. It's my turn to do some digging. Easy for a while. It's a pleasure digging this H. It was kind to see it cur this old kid out. Mister. You didn't make a mistake coming to the west. We're still glad you cover this valley. Fight of always in the stop here. Why shouldn't we say we had an invitation from the lone range. It's him we got to thank. Out the ranch house. Where he staying? Yeah. That's it. That taken care of. Looks like he's just coming his way now. Hope he ain't bringing any bad news. I thought the man was getting better. Hey. You know that ranch house is powerful close to the river. If your levy should give way. You don't have to tell me. Simpson. Where's Carter at now? He's heading for that spot where Carsons and Miller are working. Down by the river.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Eh?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Down by the river. Sure hope it ain't bad news.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Hand me another bag.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
I'll find it here on front.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Hello.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Man.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
All right.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
A workro.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
It's a good thing we saw the
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
One we did shows you where it works. Now pick a look for yourself. Daniel, what do you think? Oh, my. Different metrics to you. You work, you win. History.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Come on, P. Bring him up.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Shortly after dark, the BR was carried away. But men and materials had already been divided between the two banks. The great timbers crashed against the earthwork. Ranchers, farmers and immigrants worked frantically to repair the break. And the moment of change was fast. It is like a final clash of thunder. And a last jagged trick of lightning greased the sky. Then the rain stopped, but the river continued to rise. Minute by minute, hour by hour. Now, as the levee broke, a great wall of water would sweep across the valley. Haggard and weary, but without any thought of rest, the men fought desperately. Still, the river kept rising. At 4 o', clock, Miller called fines within classes and the three of them headed for Mustang Act.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
You're looking for more bags? This is the last of them.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Yeah, I know. They've been using sun for the last hour on the lowest touches. What you come here for?
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
What's the matter? You ain't giving up, are you?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Meg, Prussian blood can stand you so much. The men are all in.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Oh, you can't give up.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Well, we're not doing that yet. The river's beaming on us all the time. I figured it out just now. One more hour and it'll catch up with it. Yes, bound to. We'll work that hour. We'll stay here till the bitter end. But that don't go for you.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Don't touch me. Quitting ahead of time. I'm going down there and get a shovel. More important work for you. What do you mean?
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
We all got horses. We can run before the flood and get to the hill safe.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
It's all right for us to stay another hour. But you've lost my staff.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Mary gets your ranch and will be first hit. The Lone Ranger's there. He's wounded.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
Wounded bad. You can't move him fast. You gotta stop now. All right, Ms. Harry. Yeah, Jacky.
Narrator / Lone Ranger Storyteller
Over.
Character in Lone Ranger Story (Mustang Mag or Jim Carson)
You and me arriving for the lens. We're going to save the angel. Take the spring. Rest of the breed around the sun. As soon as you do that, come on inside.

This Lone Ranger adventure, “Work and Win,” masterfully brings together themes of perseverance, community, and collaboration amidst conflict on the American frontier. The episode centers on a high-stakes standoff between an enormous wagon train of immigrants, a valley’s stubborn ranchers, and the homesteaders—all on the precipice of disaster from both human tension and a looming deadly flood. The masked hero’s wisdom forges an unlikely alliance in the face of rising waters, demonstrating that unity and hard labor are the true keys to survival and justice.
Suspense Over Ranchers’ Resistance:
“We can't grow rice in this climate!” – Miller [08:48]
Lone Ranger’s Selfless Leadership:
“He meant to take him downhill where he can share your dangers. Oh, man, you can't quit now...” – Mustang Mag [24:57]
Collective Relief and Celebration:
“He give us new heart and new strength. Work and live.”
— Mustang Mag [26:18]
Final Tribute:
“I'm calling for three cheers for the Lone Ranger – Hooray!”
— Mustang Mag [28:13]
The episode exudes classic Western grit, humor, and neighborly antagonism. Dialogue is quick, colloquial, and heavily laced with idioms—“burning the wind,” “draw a rein on that imagination”—conveying both urgency and the oft-gruff camaraderie of frontier folk. The Lone Ranger himself remains a symbol of stoic guidance, his words and actions inspiring courage in the face of uncertainty.
This episode authentically encapsulates the spirit of Golden Age radio, combining suspense, character-driven drama, and heart. The vivid sound design—digitally restored for clarity—underscores thundering hooves, the patter of rain, and tense dialogue, offering a fully immersive Western experience.
