One of the Rangers who had been killed was the Lone Ranger's brother, Tonto made a mask from his shirt for the Ranger to wear until they caught the gang (so that he wouldn't be recognised by Cavendish). After they caught the gang the ranger decided to keep wearing the mask until the West was free of crime. So, that is why the Lone Ranger wore a mask.
The Lone Ranger, perhaps the best-known example of a Texas Ranger-derived fictional character, draws his primary alias both from having once been a Texas Ranger himself and from being the only surviving member of a posse of six Texas Rangers whose other five members (including his own older brother, a Texas Rangers captain) were killed in a massacre at Bryant's Gap.
