Now to continue our story. Racing away from the band of men who had charged on their camp, the Lone Ranger, Matt and Tonto left their pursuers after a chase that lasted close to an hour. When their trail had been covered, the Lone Ranger, still in his disguise, gave the signal to halt See anything of them? Kimasabi? Them gone. Matt, you'd better. You're wounded. What? What? Why, I didn't even notice it myself. Let's have a look at that. Shocked me. Oh, for dear coat. Do you think it's anything serious? We'll soon see. But I'll have to rip off your sleeve. Go ahead. It doesn't look bad. Sando. There's some water left in my canteen. Get it. Shock me. I'd never even heard a gun fired before in all my life. Afraid? No, I. I don't know yet just how I feel. Here. Here. Can't he? Thanks. I can tell more about this when I washed it off. Oh. Hurt now. Go ahead. I can stand it. It's March because the wound is raw. It's not serious though. Hardly more than a scratch. I'll bind it up and by tomorrow or the day after it should be all healed over. How do you suppose those fellows knew where we were? I rode slowly because Silver had to carry double when I knew you weren't accustomed to the saddle. Boy must have given them orders to follow us from town as soon as he saw us leave. The two can play at that game. Kind of think you can back trail until you find the tracks of those fellows who chased us. That's not hard. Then do it at once. But keep out of sight. Do nothing but find where they go, whom they report to come to do it. Then return here. We'll have camp ready. In the meantime, you get going. Get him up. Scout. Get him up there. How does your arm feel now? All right. You better stay with us overnight, Matt. In the morning you can return to Plainsville and finish up your business. No. No. I'm staying. But I fired at me. It's wounded me. Might have killed me. Stranger. It's my fight now and I'm getting in it. Good. Only I guess there won't be much help. Deuce, I tell you. And you can help plenty. I can? You mean that so far the railroad has carried out its tactics without trouble. Because no one has been able to prove. The railroad hires a roughnecks who go after the homesteaders. That is, the homesteaders who refuse to sell? Yes. But I've got an idea they get their orders and their pay from Boyle. I'd like to settle with him someday. Boyle works for the railroad. We can prove a connection between him and that gang and have the evidence we need. You're with us, Map. I am. And together we'll prove that. In the meantime, Judy Miller and her father entertained an Unwelcome visitor. Now, Listen to me, Mr. Miller. The railroad just can't fool around with you no longer. This is the third time I've tried to do business with you. Now, you're going to sell her, ain't you? I'm not. We'd sell if you'd offer us anywhere near a fair price. I have. I put more and you've offered into this place the very first year it was here. I've cleared this whole farm and proved it, put up good buildings. Blast you, I couldn't even replace that there barn you see through the wind there. For the cash you've offered, the railroad's got to reach Greg City before the frost set. What's that to me? That's to be the terminal point for the winter. But it's gonna be. There's something else. Yeah, you homesteaders in here are mighty pleased with yourselves. Don't forget there's cattlemen west of you. Cattlemen waiting for the railroad to get to them so they can ship their beef while the market's high without having to send their herds over a long, dry trail. Once they get word of Jew farmers holding up the railroad, they ain't gonna like it. What's more, it wouldn't surprise me none if they done something about it. I thought you'd be getting to this sooner or later. It's just a tip. So the one you send your gang of crooks to trample down my crops or burn down my buildings like they did to Charlie Lang. We're supposed to figure cattlemen to blame, not the railroad. Why, shucks. You know the railroad wouldn't do nothing low down like that. You. You. How can you stand there and say a thing like that? Well, if the railroad's responsible, like you seem to think, where's your proof? I ain't heard of none. You got any, you better turn it over to the U.S. marshal's office. He'd be right glad to see you, pal. We're getting no place. You better clear out. Won't sell that. Not now or any time Do I get a fair offer? Well, have it your own way. But, Miller, something tells me that within the next couple of days, you're gonna be doggone sorry you didn't sail when you could. You. What do you mean? You have to lose ability. That gang. You'll send them here, I guess. But what do we do? Well, they've got to be stopped. When? We don't know where or how or when they'll strike. No, Judy, we'll tell the law and hope for the best. But I'm afear that won't be good enough. Boyle riding eastward until he reached the railroad construction camp, reined in his mouth beside a group of men who seemed to be waiting for him. You seen him, boss? I did. Well, what's the word? He gets wiped out before morning, Right? What's it to be? Fire. Like Lang's place? Yes, sir. He was telling me what a fine set of buildings he's put up. But he's gonna find where you'll have to put him up all over again. And you want the job done tonight, huh? Wait until just before morning. That's the best time. He's more likely to be off guard around then. In the long old birthday. Been plenty busy with other things. I get this straight, your orders are like always. And if you get caught, keep your mouth shut. Plenty of cash behind the railroad. You don't have to worry that you'll ever go to trial. That's the last thing that's worrying me. That's it. You needn't report when the job's done. I'll hear it in town. Now get out of camp. See that nothing goes wrong. Boss. Just leave it at us. Come on, fellas. Get up there. Get up.

Advertiser (24:55)

Get him up.

Narrator (24:59)

Over two hours later. You're sure of your facts, Tono? They strike tonight. You weren't seen me hide near car. Then that's the tunnel. That's the information I wanted. But you said you wanted to prove it was boil. Gave them their orders. I do. You heard what Tondo said. They won't talk as long as they believe the railroad will protect them. Perhaps they won't, but Boyle will, huh? That'll be my job. In the meantime, I won for you. What? Get the homesteaders. Tell them what's planned. The miller's danger. Tell them to arm and follow you. Me? But they. Here's your chance to prove you can be a leader. They'll follow you if they're convinced Miller's in danger. Carry out your part successfully and they'll be ready to admit they were wrong in their first judgment. And. And if they do follow me? You know their plan. The fire, Miller's buildings. Let them get far enough to prove their guilt. Then close in on them. I'll. I'll do my best. You know enough to keep all this secret. They'll make no attempt if word gets out. I know. And don't be afraid of your horse, player. He's well broken. I made sure of that when I got him for you. I'LL make out and on your way. Get up. Get up. Come on. What we do? I promised Matt we'd take care of Boyle. He thinks Miller's buildings are to be fired tonight. And that's the fact that'll make him talk. Come on, fellow, get him up. Scowl. Come on, Silver. Come. Young Matt Crowley called at more than a dozen homes. What do you want? Arm yourself. Get mounted. You're needed. Where's your husband? Well, just over there in the field. Thanks. Get up.

Advertiser (26:34)

Get up.

Narrator (26:40)

Whoa, whoa, whoa there. Ain't you young Matt Crowley? Never mind that. Miller's home is in danger. Get your guns. And that night there be his tada. Me see him coming this way. Try to handle this quietly. You don't want to rouse the construction crew. Me not make noise. I don't talk. Come on, boy. Rain up wetter. You're coming without boil a mask, man. No argument. Taking their prisoner beyond hearing of the construction camp, the masked man in Tonto only stopped long enough to place a blindfold over his eyes, then proceeded by a roundabout route to Plainsville. It was late when they arrived. Most of the townspeople had retired to sleep. The light still burned in the office of the United States Marshal. Half an hour later, the Lone Ranger was talking with the lawman. If you're tricking me, I'll. What would be my motive? Marshall, I've told you that Boyle is not far from here. Taddo's guarding him. Why would I admit what I'd done if I had anything to hide? I don't know. You wanted to prove the connection between the railroad and the crimes committed against the homesteading. I'd give my right arm to do that. Very well, then. Do as I've told you. Boyle don't know you brought him to town. He thinks he's near the Miller place. Right. But how are you blindfolded. He couldn't see where we were taking him. Santa said enough to convince him that's where we were headed for. It ought to work if you're honest in this. It will. Then it's a bargain. I'll go here. I thought you would. How soon will you be here? In just a few minutes. Remember your instructions, Santo. See here, Boyle. Him say you cat him. He still doesn't know where he is. Him no. Him kind. Good. What lawman say? He agreed. He's waiting for us. Not good boy. A few minutes later, the Lone Ranger and Tonto approached the rear door of the marshal's office. Between them they carried a struggling figure and and timey. Take all this blindfold. Let me go. You can't do this. We are, however. Open the door. Taddo. Carry him over to the corner there. No one's likely to find him. Easy now. It's murder. The same as murder. I won't be found. Nobody will kick me out. Let him down. All right, Boyle. They leave you here. We thought. No, no, you can't. You gotta untie me. Please. What are you afraid of? That ain't none of your business. Just untie me. Take off this blindfold. You're not talking. We're leaving. Jumps out of. No, wait. I'll be burnt. Burnt alive. They can't do it. Wait. Is that burnt? Yeah. Please. Please let me go. Sound as though perhaps you're ready to talk. That's all I can tell you. But you gotta get me out of here. You can't leave me behind. You're mistaken. That's all you're going to tell me? I can. Please talk or Stay where you are. Kind of. Get something to gag him with. You don't want him able to call out and attract attention. Wait. Wait. I'll talk. I'll talk. Yes. I give the orders to burn a place. Now let me go. Gave orders to whom? Hogger, Buck, the other fellas. I'll tell a whole of it. Just get these ropes off. Hogger and Buck and the others. They're the same men who have been raiding the homesteaders. Yes, yes. And they carried out those raids at your orders? They did. Now hurry. And you gave them those orders at the instructions of the railroad? I did. But that's enough. Now to take off that blindfold and release him. Hurry, before they get here. Well, Marshall. Stranger, that proves the case. Marshall. Proves the case? What are you talking about? Take off his blindfold so he can see where he is. Kimosabe. The U.S. marshal's office. But for a polecat like you, ain't but a short step to the jailhouse. But I thought I was short. You thought you were in Fred Miller's barn, which is exactly what we wanted you to think. You said enough to show you knew an attack would be made on his place tonight at your order. Why is that, sir? Must be Matt Crowley with more prisoners for you. Your jail will be full tonight, Marshal. By thunder, it will. We caught them all. We caught them setting fire to the house. You've done a good night's work tonight, young Matt. Well, Marshall, the man that says Young Matt hain't the fighter his grandpa was don't savvy what he's saying. He's worse than a cage full of wildcats. The masked man are cleared out by Gravy and the red skin with him. Well, it's too late to call him back now, but they didn't clear out till they'd finished their job, and that's the thing that counts.
