Well, they might hurt somebody Patsy sure don't need guns. Hey, what's that? Well, it looks like the troops was pulling out Well, that looks like the whole regimen major pancara is not leaving the fort any protection at all. Sure. It's a way Oh my gracious. I'm gonna pack. We'll all be scalping a bit. Hey hoppy Do you see them soldiers that Nagoro's gonna get a lesson you want? Yeah, I saw him come on, California Sure, sure, but they're what's the big rush you'll see major pancara I don't mean to interfere but aren't you leaving the fort shorthanded? Well, you young pop and jay I'm in command here, and I'm sick of you westerners whining about a handful of savages I intend reading this country of them for good. That's why I sent the regiments out The Indians are west of here not in the fort west, but bring with jumped in the east Stray raiding party of party is nothing to bother about Mother scouts found a bigger patchy party to the west your tenant stone will engage it and destroy it California get our horse a saddle now What do you think you're going to do scout the territory east of here? And you better pray major those ponies are unforced your fort is in grave danger Don't you think this is kind of dangerous for us so we don't know this country. That's dangerous Well, don't you think it'd be wiser to hit back for the fort probably we might get scouted we stay here possibly then Let's turn around and burn leather. No, look ahead. They're to the right Smoke signals. Let's get out of here not until we've taken a look see come on up around that big rock We can look down on them from there Stay here. I'll ease down on foot. You'll do what on the hoppy. Don't be a nidget. I'll come with you look Engines millions of engine not millions but enough Ponies and the patches there must be at least 200 boy years California hit the dust for the fort. They have to be warned sure but you don't mean now You're gonna say go on ride. Tell major pen car that Nagota is here and to prepare for immediate attack I savvy a little Apache lingo I'm gonna visit that camp after dark and find out that certain death if you get caught ill I'll save a shot for myself. I'll go on high tail sure. I'm a gone But but but in case I I Hacker you you know what I mean Yeah, I know California. That's why we're partners Now back to hop along Cassidy and our story apaches don't need guns When major pancaro sent the entire force of Fort Los Alamos to engage apaches to the west hoppy in California Scouted to the east and discovered Nagoto and 200 Apache and Pawnee warriors preparing for war as Hoppy stayed to try a daring venture of spying in the Indian camp California races to war in the fort major pancaro Injury thousands of them get fought ready for attack hoppy said wait wait They're out of order Carlson. You didn't even knock knock Knock I'll say that twice about those Indians. I'll say it twice. I'll say it three times I'll whistle at your hammer headed gent. Are you deep get the fort ready and fight and shake? What are you positive? The apaches are to the west of here. Well, there's Nagoto and 200 of them counting some Pawnee pals doing a war dance Less than 10 miles east and I'll give you a hunch. They ain't doing that war dance for exercise. Yes. Yes Perhaps you're right. Would be terrible if I'd be mistaken My record you're top blazes with your record. There's women and kids here. All right stable your horse Tell sergeant Olson there to bring his squad to me immediately, right? Corporal Stein open the armory issue guns to every man in the fort Johnson get to the guard house all prisoners to be released and back on duty at once Adams Gather all the women and children in the block house quick man all civilians to report to me without delay Attention Soldiers and civilians Where does come that this fort is under danger of possible attack an attack that will outnumber us badly? Sergeant Olson will command the defense of the walls private Adams that of the gate Private Johnson will take eight men and defend the block house Corporal Stein you will select five marksmen and act as roving defense going where needed most Your women will load guns in the block house. There will be no relief until the danger of attack is over. That's all Go to your post Thousand yeah major I Just want you to know that if this is a false alarm. I'll see to it that hey anything more major Get to your post right Welcome to the party of me go Here's to your red skin. Yeah Oh Into a woman called in all reports But I can shoot better than these men here boats. Hey, where's your partner? I wish to know Just wish I had my crew here. They shall be handy. Well, look it. They're breaking off Well, they didn't aim to find us waiting for them they'll be back Sure mess of them out there. Yeah. Ah, I reckon hoppy gut I hope he shaved that bullet. You seem to write smart. I'm reken. It did Oh, did he what look there some fools trying to bust through their lines and get to us Look at him a bunch of Indian To your post everyone Cassidy that was a magnificent ride. I compliment you hoppy My glad to see in one piece. Thanks, California major our bad news Let's take care of those Indians first. Oh, that's just it that group was only half and the go to forces You were right. There are patches of the Western heading this way a patches plus a few straggling bunches of Susan Comatches that have jumped their reservation Cassidy You know what you're saying only too well now go to is trying to gather all Indian tribes under his banner plans to take over This section and join Geronimo and to take over all of Arizona then the five This is ghastly. We can't stand off this war party out there much less another party from the West Your regiment has probably made contact with the Indians West. We can hold out here They may come back to the fort, but man, there's only 32 men left here Not that many after that first attack without number day two on I'd hoped it wasn't that bad And it may be several days before your regiment can return I hope you see how wrong you were We'll all be slaughtered in here without a chance those Indians are using new Winchester's not bows and arrows I you'll speed up the slaughter if you don't get back to your post For a tax we can't stand many Ganon yeah, drop a couple of boxes of 45 for me Give me a one to 30 30 not carrying an eyes are you this next attack may be close quarters. Yeah, give me hip pockets Help yourself miss latter more what's for you reckon I could do with them 38 cartridges I'm for a card. You stand up right. Well, Ganon. Well a past day and a half kind of made me a reform coward Cassidy Figure if I got a die anyhow, please. We'll die like a blame here Well, I'll be doggone battle just funny things Yeah, make some man look inside himself. Hey, what's Walker doing down in the compound? Look California? Well, I'll be switched. He's saddling the horse. I Guess he's riding for help. I'll get out to see Hey Walker, you're riding for help. My horse is faster. Oh, don't be a fool. I'm getting out of here Those Indians are using new Winchester's and we can't win you can play hero if you want, but I'm saving my neck See, you'll never make it. You know that I'll make it. It's nearly dark and after dark I can get through That's full pen caro. I hadn't sent the troop out But he did only I'm not paying for it. Not me Looks like we got tomorrow and for the attack copy the most planning and making it a good one It'll be a bad one. Oh, there goes Walker a darn yellow coyote or a plug himself That's his choice, but they'll be waiting for him. That's why a major pen caro hasn't sent a man for help And I think that whole cat wanted to be a Western rancher Tell a one coward I tried to warn him. He should have stayed brain Cassidy can I speak to you of course major? What is it? You saw what happened to Walker wouldn't have happened if you Hadn't let him out. I couldn't force him to stay he was a civilian But what I started to say was is there no way we could save the women and children Could we sneak them out three yet? That's impossible. The Indians are expecting that very thing. I see Well, I was just hoping that you Made sure made your pen caro one major Take over Cassidy happy Is he yeah? Well, he was a fussing feather soldier that is a man he'd do to ride the river with the sure word But now what do we just wait for it? We do not I've been thinking Notice how her go-to and his war chiefs always lead every attack on that gate. Why yeah Yeah, they bunch up ahead of the others next time they attack. We're letting them in wait, huh? Hoppy you're wrong rock the go-to on his right-hand man of the leaders and spirit of this battle If we can get rid of them the others will scatter I want to take every man able to swing a shovel and start building a pair of walls from that gate Hoppy you better lie down. I want a long high wall shoot form like a funnel from that gate So when we let them in they'll be forced in one or two at a time I shoot a you mean like we drive cattle through and Brandon right only too high for him to climb over We're letting a go-to on these war chiefs in slam the gate behind them I'll be we can't pull enough man off in the walls to fight them hand-to-hand There'll be a dozen in that lead bunch That's the point of the shoot one man at the end of it working two guns can take them as they come through That's my job. Oh, no hoppy that masochist That's a gamble we'll have to take it the big thing is to make sure they don't suspect a trap and the rest of men drive off There's one attack so tonight while the shoot is being built four men will stay on the wall running back and forth shooting from different Loopholes to make it appear more and for driving off the attack from the walls tomorrow Every woman able to handle a gun every wounded man able to pull a trigger I want all of them on the wall by daybreak. It's their only hope Hoppy it's daybreak Want to call the man? Yeah, it's about time everyone on the wall break out all the ammunition cannon knives and axes to each man Struck all the women to save one shot for themselves in case the field to stop the attack same for the children I'm on my way right Cassidy Mr. Hoppy that shoot ain't there long about 50 feet I'll have to do hammer that boxer shell will you bring it with me what shoot there's wide enough for two engines to come in at once Reckon there ought to be two of us ready to drop them Sure but there ain't no use arguing with a woman don't you know that You need a sidekick in that shoot and I reckon I qualify as the best two-handed gunslinger around here After you sir Well looks as if they're getting ready to come at us Cameron Yeah, I wish that could shoot better I just want to give you a scattered gun whether you just point full and pray Hey one thing how are we going to be sure that only in the go-to in his chiefs get through that gate Well just soon as they get inside the boys will slam the gate shut and to make sure they have time You aim at scattered gun into the engines follow them will slow them enough Here they come look at a run hold it with that gun wait for the time Wait now let them have it now go to his bunches inside Now back to hop along Cassidy Hoppy here still can't believe it will lick them When they saw we finished in a go-to in the chiefs the rest ran like jack rabbits But don't ever take a chance like that again That would work but I'm not hurt bad so stop pacing Not hurt bad he says two knife wounds in your shoulder slugging your leg Not to mention a couple of creases about what you call bad Cawfinn House fly Oh she's alright just a couple of scratches Hi there Bet you two don't know what I heard from a wounded engine Yeah you heard that Walker sold the guns to Nagoto so the apaches that go on the warpath Wipe out the ranches around here and give him a chance to buy the spreads for a song afterwards Well bust me sure that's it you're stealing my thunder Sorry Vy I guessed it before These Indians in this country are too poor to pay much of a profit on those guns That met a man with another motive which was Walker He gave himself away when he knew what kind of guns the apaches had Well he's planned backfired and he got his comeuppance from his own treachery And it is And it is anyone Whiskey Whiskey For uh, when there's no purposes of course Hi there Gannon You did a brave job of fighting And I bring news Lieutenant Stone sent a rider in The regiment met and defeated the apaches to the west Eh Did you say I was brave sir? I did sir And I want you to know sir that I am a reformed hero Ravery is too nerve wracking I am and always will continue to be a self-respecting coward Oh yeah? Back to your post the Indians are coming Where's my scatter gun? I've been tricked That was a mighty close call for Huffy But Huffy's usual quick thinking shows that even the treacherous apaches can be outsmarted with or without guns In next week's thrilling story Huffy and California set out to trap a killer And prove once again that a dog is a man's best friend Especially when the man is the victim of a shot in the dark Up along Cassidy starring William Boyd is transcribed and produced in the west by Walter White Jr The apaches don't need guns was written by Herb Purdom with original music under the personal direction of Albert Glasser All stories are based upon the characters created by Clarence Mulford This is a Commodore production
