With his faithful Indian companion throttle the daring and resourceful mass writer of the planes let 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 a thundering hoof beats of the great Warf Silver the lone ranger rides again come on tell me I'll tell you Ray Mooney manager of a vast circle B ranch near Centralia, Texas was almost befriended self with rage when he called at a neighboring ranch house to see his friend Jack Tarrant gambler and cattle owner sit down Ray sit down and calm yourself. This letter is from Claude Baron. He's the Easterner who owns the circle B. Read what he says. He fired me as manager of the ranch. He sent him his son here to take my place. Baron must have finally realized that he's losing money on the ranch. Yeah maybe so. But Mooney says here he let you stay on as foreman. Looks like he doesn't know you've been robbing him. I'm sure he doesn't. But his son is sure to know I've stolen money when he examines the books and bank records. You expect me to give back what you lost to me playing Tarrant? Oh no Jack but I've you have two weeks before young Baron arrives. Draw all the circle B cash from the bank and head for Mexico. I can't draw any more cash. Banker Cardiff told me so this morning. He had orders from the old man. Wait a minute. Wait a minute Ray. I have an idea. Has Banker Cardiff ever met young Baron Lowell? Then suppose someone comes here in his place. Flash Ogden a palamining Kansas. I'll send him a wire and tell him to meet it. I'll help you Ray and we'll both make a cleanup. The following week in a town some distance from Centralia Jack Harris and Ray Mooney met secretly with a man from Kansas. Flash Ogden and went over Paris' plan for wheeling Phil Baron. Baron's supposed to arrive in Centralia a week from today's flash. Only you'll be the one who arrives. I'll be there with the bag in a meteor flash. As soon as you're established as Phil Baron you can start drawing cash from the bank. Right sir. But where do we get rid of Baron? At Arkansas Junction. The state staff said change drivers and horses. Now here's how it'll work. One week later the stagecoach from the East reached Arkansas Junction early in the morning. As the passengers left the stage Flash Ogden stepped forward and said. Mr. Baron which of you is Mr. Baron? I'm Philip Baron. What do you want? Good. I'm glad to find you Mr. Baron. What is it you want? Well first let me introduce myself. I'm Robert Smith of Centralia. My ranch is next to the Circle B. Oh yes. I've heard my father speak of you. Glad to know you Mrs. Baron. As the two shook hands Flash looked around to make sure all of the other passengers as well as the driver of the stage had gone inside the building. Satisfied that his next move would not be seen. His manner changed abruptly. All right don't raise your voice. I can't do as I say or I'll use it. It isn't. Let's walk ahead of me along the side of the building. Baron talked fast and decided that the safest course would be to do as the man with a gun demanded. He held his hands at shoulder levels and walked ahead of Flash hoping someone would see his predicament. Just keep going to the woods straight ahead. Maybe just keep walking. Presently the two men entered the dark woods. Baron was about to speak. When Flash using his gun as a club struck him on the head. Lifting the unconscious Easterner across the saddle of a rented horse that waited nearby. Flash mounted behind the saddle and rode to a nearby stone quarry. Jack Parris was waiting beside a big boulder near the rim of the quarry. Oh oh oh. Is he dead? No Paris. I couldn't risk a shot. People in the station might have hurt. I knocked him out. Help me get him out of the ground. There we are. Now let's see what he has in his pocket. Wallets and rope. Letters and money. More letters and more money. And more papers. There isn't light enough to read this stuff. We'll have to strike matches or wait for more daylight. We can read it if we get away from these rocks. No no no. There's no rush. It'll be lighter in a few minutes. I want to see what we have. I want to be sure of everything I need to pose as Phil Barron. Leading the still form of Phil Barron. Flash and Jack moved a few yards away from the rocks where there was better light. Now to see what we have. That looks like a check. Cashier's check for ten thousand dollars. Jack look at this. A letter of credit for twenty five thousand dollars. And here's a statement from the bank of San Feria. According to this there's more than thirty thousand dollars in the accounts man alive. This is a bananter. Jack is very smoothly a good friend of yours. That suckers. No no. He just a good source of money. I've been using mark cards to beat him for more than a year. He tapped the circle B bank account and handed over cattle stock to meet us for his losses. Jack. What's the matter Baron running away. I see him. He's running toward the quarry. I'll stop him. You got him playing. He dropped into the quarry. Yeah but the bullet hit him just before he went over the edge. Let's take care of him. Now I'll be filled better. And you better get back to the station. You got just enough time to make it before the stage. So please. I'll meet you in San Feria. The Long Ranger and Toto were breaking camp in the hills high above the stone quarry when they heard the shot. The mask man peered through binoculars in the direction of the sound and saw two men ride from the quarry heading in opposite direction. Hello. Go to the quarry and find out what that shooting meant. A short time later the Long Ranger and Toto reached the stone quarry as they just muttered they heard from the depth to cry for help. Going below the mask man and his Indian friend found Baron alive but injured. He was given first aid and carried to the top of the quarry. There he identified himself told what had happened and what he had heard while lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious. I know one of them is going to the bank this morning with Mooney. He'll impersonate me and I'll get the money and he must have been in pain. He needs doctors. There's no doctor in the arch and text junction. There is one in Centrelia. Hello. We'll place this man on your horse. You're taking the doctor in Centrelia. Let me do it. Meanwhile I'll ride cross country to Centrelia. Your friend Marshall Ciley and I had him arrest those two men that fell on Mooney. I'll be in Centrelia at the Marshall's office and see you there later this morning. As soon as we get Baron on your horse I'll go on ahead. On a safe coach from St. Louis arrived in Centrelia. Ray Mooney was waiting with banker Joshua Cardiff. Mooney greeted Flash Ogden effusively. The man had breakfast at the nearby hotel then proceeded to the Centrelia bank. They were already in the bank when the lone ranger entered the town through the hills and made his way along a deserted back street to the rear of Marshall Ciley's office. He dismounted and walked to the side door but the door was locked and on it was pasted a note which the masked man read. On to the county's seat to deliver prisoner. A return about noon Tom Ciley Marshall. He's almost two hours away but I go to the bank myself. In Joshua Cardiff's private office Ray Mooney and Flash Ogden posing as Philip Baron casually brought up the matter of making immediate withdrawal of a thumb in five figures. Cardiff opened the bank safe which was in his office saying. Available here in this cash box. More than 55,000. No you can't come in here. Mr. Cardiff. You're saying what's wrong. He wants it. To hold up up with your hand. You're covered. Flash don't make a move towards your gun. What did you say? Oh Mr. Cardiff. Let me introduce you to Flash Ogden. This is Mr. Philip Baron. That's what he says. I suppose this other fellow Ray Mooney says the same thing. You are a Ray Mooney aren't you. Yes I am Ray Mooney. I don't know what you're talking about. This is Mr. Baron. Of course he is. Even without Mooney say so I have proof but you Mr. You're a hold up man. Don't think you'll get away with this money home. The Marshall Ciley's out of town. I just came from his office. You did. Yes. Don't let this mask fool you Mr. Cardiff. I'm not a thief and this man isn't Philip Baron. We'll continue our lone ranger adventure in just a moment. Because champions are made not born. Yes sir. Get on your way. Get on your way. Get on your way with Queenie. Sort of gives the guy a list knowing that champions are made not born. For instance let's face the inspiring story of Al Rosen. Same Cleveland Indian slugger. Let's go back when Al was small. An average boy. No champ at all. He practiced hitting third base play and ate his Wheaties every day. Just as champs get on their way. Today Al smacks that ball a mile. Been eating Wheaties all this while. Why Al Rosen's been eating Wheaties since he was a little guy 22 years ago. Plenty of power all right in Wheaties. There's a whole kernel of wheat in every Wheaties place. Now Al's sparking. Here's a pick. Hey, hey, hey. He's on his way. On his way. He's on his way. On his way. Get on your way with Wheaties. Because champions are made not born. Yes sir. Get on your way. Get on your way. Get on your way with Wheaties. Breakfast of champions. Now to continue. For a moment there was violence in the banker's office as the man stared at the Lone Ranger. Then Carter said, What's your game? You say you're not a thief yet you hold a gun on it. You tell a cock and bull story about Mr. Baron being a person named Flash Ogden. Oh he is Flash Ogden. The gunman cart shop from Wicked Dolls. You're crazy. What I say can be easily proven. You won't let that go. When Flash reached for his gun, the Lone Ranger was ready. His own gun box first and the bullets struck Ogden's wrist. My wrist. Edward, don't come in here. Get help. Round up the million town needs to hold up. Grab the mask man Ray. Don't try it. Get back to our money. Carter if you're a fool. I told you this wasn't a hold up. These men will have me prefer charges against you when you're arrested. You can't escape now. The whole town will be here after you in a few minutes. Maybe but I'll do a few things first. Burke, open the door next to you. There you are. Alright man. Get into that closet. Pick it up to hold all of you. And your money. Loosen your gun belt and drop it to the floor. Now get into that closet. I'll try Carter. They keep those cooks from stealing the bank's money. I'll take it with me. I'll join the others in that closet. After locking Carter in the closet, the Lone Ranger quickly closed and locked the door between the office and the main room of the bank. Then with a money box under his arm, hurried through the rear door and ran through the side of his horse. The Lone Ranger sped along the wooded path that ran through the hills above the main trail. He had lived in only a few miles when he saw Carter riding towards Centralia with a wounded Phil Barron popped in front of him on the saddle. Surprisingly riding beside Carter was Marshall Tom Kiley. The Lone Ranger rang his horse and called. Oh, easy. Well, I see you, Silver. Let's get down there. Come on, boy. Easy. You make good time. Marshall Kiley. I'm certainly glad to see you. Hello there. They say the same to you. I met Carter with the crossroads. You've been telling me what happened to this fellow here. I was burned out of him. Still bad. But punk seem good. Him plenty strong. Dark Fairbanks is a good shorebone. He'll fix this fellow up if he's fixable. But tell us, what happened in town? I'm sorry I couldn't be there. Oh my. I looked for you, saw your notes and then acted on my own. The Lone Ranger quickly told of the incident in banker Carter's office. He ended the first case before they caught up with me. I imagine half the town trailing me. What do you want? Baron told us all the two minutes of stone quarry was named Jack. I didn't meet him, but he must be somewhere in town. There's a lot of men named Jack in town. Yes, but only one who wanted to kill Baron. I thought if he saw a total carrying Baron to the doctor, he might try to kill Baron for certain this time. So I came to warn Tonto to be on the lookout. And if Baron's in danger, we better take him to my home in the hills. Have the doctor go there to treat him. Good idea, Marshall. Tonto, we'll transfer a Baron to my horse and you ride the town to the doctor. The doctor knows where my place is. It was about an hour later when Tonto and the doctor reached the Marshall's home in the hills. While the doctor was in the bedroom with a wounded man, the Marshall said, Well, Tonto, what's happening in town? Should I be in there now? People in town, plenty excited. On way back, we see vigilantes. They look everywhere for mask man who robbed banks. Well, they'll never think of looking here in my house, that's sure. And Tonto, while you were gone, we fixed up a little plan. You're in on that. Good. I'll show you a cabin where we plan to trap the crooks. We'll go to the cabin and arrange things, Tonto. And you go to town and find Wraith Mooney. I'll make sure he's alone and tell him you know the inside story of the bank robbery and can lead him to the mask man. It was late afternoon when Tonto located Wraith Mooney in the Dry Ghost Cafe. Mooney with Flash Ogden and Jack Terrace had ridden with the vigilantes in an unsuccessful search for the man who robbed the Centralia Bank. When the foot of acting Indian drew Mooney aside and spoke to him, the ex-manager of the Circle B was excited. Finally, he went to his pals. Flash. See that engine over by the door? He says he knows all about that holdup today. He says he knows where the mask man's hiding out with the money. He'll take us to the hideout. If we give him $50. If he can do that, promise him 100. Sure, promise him anything. Up there. That cabin's not far out of the way. Why do you pick a place like that? If he did, let's find out. There's a light inside the cabin. Then we'll sneak up and find out if the engine's telling the truth. Yes. Wraith, you stay here with the engine. Keep a lookout. All right. Watch him too. Come on, Jack. Yeah, sure. Wraith, we'll be back soon. They go into the cabin. Engine, are you sure the money's up there? Of course, he's sure. What? Marshall's kindly. Yeah, Wraith, I've been waiting for you with some deputies. Don't move or I'll plug it. Don't try to yell. This is a trap. Call it the end, Wraith. Manhand cover. All right. Nice work, Toronto. Just kind of some more deputies and dark fat banks are up behind the cabin. Listen at the open window. Let's join them. I told you we had some fiction to do while you were gone. Flash Ogden and Jack Parris thought they had caught the masked man unprepared. They chided and reviled him as flashed out of the money in the bank container. Then as Jack Held his gun pointed at the lone ranger, Flash Ogden finished and said, stranger, before we kill you, I'll ask one question. How'd you know we killed Philip Barron? How'd you know we'd be in the bank at Centralia? You didn't kill Barron. What? He's alive here in Centralia. He heard you talk and he told me what you said. But more people heard you talk just now. Isn't that right, Marshall, Mr. Carter? He sounded cooked gasp and alarm and turned toward the open window. The lone ranger licked at Jack Parris and grabbed the man's gun. Then he turned a fit, cracking into the cook's jaw. Knocking him out. Flash, put around. You're covered. I know you can't use that bad risk to shoot. So forget about your gun. You dirty rifle taking me like this? Thank you for your plan worth. You did it. Flash Ogden, you're a gooseous cook. Be glad we're not going to hold you for murder. Philip Barron's going to live, right, Mr. Carter? Yes. Well, I'm glad. But here, before all, I must apologize to the mask man. I not only have the money bag. I guess the apologies to me, Mr. Carter. I'm leaving with Toto. Apologize to Philip Barron when he's recovered. I'm sure you'll find him a much better man than that poor impersonator, Flash Ogden. Adios, everyone. Adios, Markle Kylie. Adios, my friend, and thanks for helping me again. Again, you said, Marshall, you mean you knew that mask man before today? Well, certainly. Every lawman in Texas does, too.
