Answer: Texas Rangers

The Lone Ranger was the only surviving Texas Ranger from an ambush set up by the Cavendish gang, therefore making him a lone ranger. Six rangers were shot, and six graves dug, so everyone would think he had been killed. Good thing Tonto came along to nurse the wounded ranger to health or all those graves would have been filled.

He considered his dead brother to have been "one of the bravest men he had known".

Really, it was a buffalo. He and Tonto shot the charging buffalo and then nursed the wounded horse back to health. When it recovered The Lone Ranger released it, saying it should be free if it wanted its freedom, but it stuck around. Tonto said it was a beautiful horse, like silver white on a mountain with snow. That's how Silver got his name. Tonto is now credited with both the disguise and The Lone Ranger's horse.

Answer: they stood for justice

The Lone Ranger and Tonto looked up a former ranger, who ended up working a silver mine The Lone Ranger held interest in.
