Come on laughing girl. Lets go get some viddles. He was tied up so tight the circulations cut off. Hes suffering from exposure, thirst and shock from a beating. I can make one good guess who did it. Hiya sheriff. Hello roy. Dale told me how you found him. Do you know who he is yet . Now wait a minute.

Carol youre the first victim thats turned up in my territory and i aim to do something about it. Well just a minute sheriff, until that outlaw territory is surveyed you have no jurisdiction. Thats right. Its sort of a no mans land. Well it appears to me like them outlaws is squatting on them rights and thumbing their noses at us. Well we got to do something about it. Say roy, youve got a stake in this. Doesnt that new ranch land of yours, extend right down into the river bed . Yes but i dont know how far in sheriff, the only way to find out is to have it surveyed. Well youll have to clean out that rats nest first. Then lets clean it out. But how . Sheriff, i got an idea while mr. Carol was talking. Listen, suppose you get a posse together, pat and i will ride out in front. Alright men, lets mount up. Whoa now whoa, whoa just have patience. Whats the matter pat, did you forget how to ride a horse . Pats been chaufering that jeep so long, hes forgotten all about horses. Yeah and i wish i could keep on forgetting about them too. All i had to do with this jeep is get in and turn on the key. Then get out and get under. Yeah, you spend more time pushing that jeep then it spends pulling you, boy. Say, look whos slim, get rusty, looks like weve got company. Its a buck. You got you over a barrel, now whats your next bet . Hey rusty, couple of men heading for town, looks like theyre being chased by a posse. Well he better not ride in here, hell get a hot reception. Come on boys. Go gee that was a close one. Youre telling me. Phew. Who are you . Who wants to know . Looks stranger, you came here, nobody sent for you. Dont mind my friend here, hes a might high strung. To tell you the truth, were both feeling high strung right now. What about . Didnt you see . Sheriff and a posse were after us. Oh, well keep talking. Well i reckon its cause we stopped a stage on its way to mineral city. Yeah . We didnt stop it to catch a ride. How much you get off the coach . Thats just the trouble, thats why my pal here is so sore. Just as we had em all lined up and reaching for the sky. Why a sheriff and a posse come along, so we had to run for it. Thats tough. How come the sheriff came along so conveniently . Seems like he found a man half dead, tied to a burrow. He was out looking for the men who did it. Oh i see. How about Getting Better acquainted . Im rusty madison, these are my men and this is my town. Any stranger shows up, he plays my rules. You get it . There is plenty of room up over the saloon. Get your saddle bags, make yourself comfortable, chows in an hour, dont be late. Cooks temperamental. What do you think of those fellows . Theyre smart hombes. Cagey too.

The lone ranger and i know theres gold in here. I know its in here cause i can smell it. Its just like i am, yes sir you can smell gold for miles away. Come on get going youre looking in the wrong direction, hovey. Theyre over there. Oh come on yipee come here boy come here we struck it we struck it look at this gold gold look at it boy, just look at it we struck it boy we struck it this time you said it would be here.

That works both ways. Yeah dont go, dont go, i wanted to give you the bearings of the location. I dont need it, i dot in my head. Thats good you keep it there boy. Oh boy come on there he is. Looks like a man riding with something on his mind. Yeah. Ill wait for him here. Get over to bushs and have him. Whats up . Youre dick mchenry. Thats right. Thought i heard some blasting . So did i. Somebody working a mine around here . Thats a fair guess. You and that dudley . Thats a good guess. Saddle bags sure loaded. Mister youre blocking the trail. I said you were blocking the trail, ill give you just ten seconds to light out of here. Put the artillery away kid and lets take a look in those bags. Say i know you. Youre zack carter, the gambler, you hang around with another tin horn named hovey. Now ill give you just three seconds to get out of here. 1, 2. Shots come from there. That means trouble tonto, lets have a look. I had a hunch they had their eyes on Something Like this. Weve got to find that mine. Weve got to file a claim on it. Yeah. Why didnt you shoot him in the arm . You didnt have to close his mouth. He wasnt going to shoot you in the arm. Hed plug you dead center. Yeah but you have time to aim, he didnt. We could have made him give us the location of that mine. Nothing in his pockets. Now weve got the job of finding it. Maybe hes still alive enough to talk . Hey, hey . Hey mchenry . Youre wasting your time, hes through. About the only thing we can do now is back trail him. Go to the mine . Say thats a smart idea. You know how to trail . No. I thought maybe you did. Im a card player like you. Where would i learn any indian tricks . Well lets go back to town. Ill think of something. Tonto, down there. Him still alive kimosabe. Why you low down bush whacking buzzards, get away from that boy. I thought id find Something Like this when i heard them shots. You murdering coyotes. We heard the shots too mister. Oh sure, you look innocent enough. I saw that the minute that i come in. Hey indian, tell your pal there he forgot to take off his mask. Never mind the mask. This boy has one chance in a thousand to live and while we stand here wasting time talking hes losing that chance. Tonto, water. I told you now, stay away from that boy. Put down that coven and lend a hand. Hey, youve got a way with you. Who are you anyhow . What makes you think i ought to trust you . Did you ever see a Silver Bullet like this before . Well, the lone ranger. Well, youve proved to me that you didnt kill him. But who did . Kimosabe see what me find. Where . Horse stand there little time, then cards fall. Somebody must have been waiting for him. Him stand there, face this way. I see. Why these cards are marked. Fine one he was, carries more cards around than a show commander in the back. There must have been two of them. If the one with the card was facing the boy, there had to be another one to shoot him in the back. I think well find a cheap pair of gamblers mixed up in this. I think what we ought to do is look for them two saddle bags. cause theyre loaded plum full of high grade ore and thats why they killed him. He hasnt been killed yet but hes mighty close to it. Does it give you the shakes . Yeah. Wheres it come from . Waford youll never be a rich man. What difference does it make where it comes from . You should say, how can i get it . My chance will come. When . Youre not getting any younger. Youve been in this hole so long walford, youre gonna die in it. Its big cities like new york, london and paris. Did you think youll ever get to see those big cities waford . You feel pretty chipper. I bet the fellow you got this from dont feel so good. You think we stole this waford . How else would you get it . You bring it in here, file a claim on it, and make me feel like a fool. Is it my fault i dont get to it . I dont get any chances. But is that my fault . There is two things wrong with what you said. First, we cant file a claim on this because we dont know where it is. Second, you do get chances and were going to give you one right now. Do you know how everybody thinks that ed dudley and young mchenry knows theres gold in the hills . Old desert rat, thats just a lie to get himself a grub stick. Uh uh. No lie. This is it. Hows that again, the way you say i should talk . How do i get it . He sure learns fast. How do i get it . Like this. You get one third in this manner. If ed dudley or old man mchenry comes here to file a claim in the unfriendly mountains, you dont file the claim, you give us the location. You cant do this without some killing. Does that bother you . Sure. There has to be a killing, waford, now wake up. Now that you know all about this, you better line up with us. Or youll be the first man to die. Ive got another ace up my sleeve. I think i know how we cant stay here, you dont even have decent shelter. Sky was always good enough roof from me. Not for a wounded boy, ed. Tonto i want you to ride to his fathers ranch, tell mr. Mchenry the whole story. Then bring back a wagon and some mattresses. Weve got to take this boy home. That right kimosabe. You know tom is sure gonna bust a cinch when he hears about this. I dont believe there is anything in the world that old tom cared more for than this youngin. Im going to ride to town and see if i can match those cards to the man who dropped them. You keep your eyes open for trouble. Do you reckon them tin horns will keep trying . Yes ed theyre bound to now that they have seen what came out of this mine. Wait just a minute, there is one thing i didnt tell you. See dick here was on his way to the office to file the claim. Then its not yet protected. Why shucks no. Why anybody could grab it that would jump us. It may be already grabbed. Ill stop at the land office and register it for you. Here, here ill give you the bearings. Here they are. Alright ed, take care of the boy. Ill take care of him. What do you want . Heard a rumor. Thought it would be a friendly act to ride over and let you hear it too. Theres just two things i dont have any truck with rumors and tin horns. Now get. Rumor says your boy and ed dudley struck it rich. Do tell. Rumor goes on to say that ed dudley shot your boy in the back. Pull it out you crazy fool, you got part of my skin. When you come here telling me ed dudley shot my boy, you lying sneaking, tin horn. Dont you pull any iron on me you critter. You poisoned critter. What did you aim to do with a story like that . I, i didnt say it was true. I said i heard it. You heard what . Where . Who said it . Turn me loose and ill tell you. When i get good and ready and you answer me when i talk to you. Well, they were talking about it in town. Saddle bump came in, came into the saloon and he was talking about it. He said he saw it. Go back and tell him hes a liar. Go back and tell him the next time he talks against ed dudley ill ram the lie down his throat on the end of a forty five. Pull yourself out. Now get off of my land and stay off. That wont be hard to do, remembering this. How indian. How. Youre on the mchenry ranch. Whats your name . Me tonto. Tonto huh . Well do you want something . You hungry . No time to eat. Me bring bad news. You too . Your son dick, him get shot. Go on. Him find gold, ride to file claim, somebody shoot him in back. Ah huh. Just who do you think did the shooting . Me not know for sure, but not ed dudley. Him say go bring wagon with mattress, take boy home. You telling me the truth indian . Somebody shot my boy . How bads he hurt . Plenty bad. Alright, run over to the bunk house, tell the boys to give you a couple mattresses, ill get the wagon ready, well go after him. Go on hurry well did he fall for it . Why that crazy old garoon, ill cast him in if its the last thing i ever do. He didnt fall for it . Well he didnt seem to but let him think it over. First, hell begin to get curious, then hell wander, then hell travel up that mine to have a look around. And well follow like a gentle little breeze. Gentle little breeze . Just remember this hes my meat, that mchenry, when the show down comes hes my meat. Lets wait around awhile, hell come by. Here he comes now, it worked. Ill tag along after him. You go into town and hang around that land office. What for . Waford can take care of that angle. Wafords a worm, if anything goes wrong he scares too easily. Now go onto town. Unfriendly mountains. Bet its here. Just about here. What do you want . Theres no money here, only records. I want to file a claim. Claim . Whats the idea with the mask . Never mi
