[Delmonico]

Delmonico and the yaller dog search for Slim for several hours with no luck.   Suddenly Delmonico gets and idea, but in the real world his bread needs tended so the poor lost Slim must wait.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"But will he ever return?  No he'll never return, And his fate is still unlearned. He may ride forever in the sandhills of Nebrassky, He's the man who never returned."

[Delmonico]

"Makes me think I should hand ya a samwhich as yer horse comes rummblin' through."

(Slim don't know that Delmonico's mother used ta play that on a 45 when he was little.)

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim's mom used to play that on guitar when he was young. 

"Thanks for the sandwich, Delmonico."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico searches fer Slim, till he finds him.  "Slim ya got ta be more careful out here, just cause there ain't no trees ya can still get lost.  Why futher west of here there is land so broken that i wern't ever properly survyed till the done sent up satterlites.  Look on a map, secion lines in Garden and Sheridan counties be somewhat crooked. "

"Let's both ride down ta Kearney and get a well digger and windmill.  Now what other songs did yer mamma sing."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Sounds good ta me. Let's go to Kearney. My momma used to sing Micheal Row Your Boat Ashore, also."

[Delmonico]

I thought the song was, "Michael Knows the Bowling Score."

Now be careful Slim, most folks don't know it, but Kearney is a wild end of the trail cattle town.  Just don't get in trouble.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"I'll mind my P's and Q's." Whatever that means. 

[Delmonico]

If'n ya put the line on tha wrong side a da o with lower case letters tha p becomes a q or tha q becomes a p.  So be mindin' yer pqpqpqpqpppqqqpppqqqpppqqqppppppqqqqqqqppppqqqqppppq"s.

So if ya be passin' any note's ta cowboys, be sure ta mind yer p'S and q'S.

But I don't understand how thats gonna keep ya from gettin' in trouble.   

[Silver Creek Slim]

Too much expreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooo? 

[Delmonico]

Arrivin' in Kearney in the evenin', it is too late to find a well drillin' crew and windmill.  So Delmonico and Slim get themselves rooms in a hotel for the night.  Slim goes out ta explore the town and Delmonico goes down ta the hotel lobby ta get a seegar.

As Delmonico it pickin' him out a nice Havana seegar, a young fella bout 12 years old comes runnin' up ta Delmonico.

"Sir, Sir, ya must come quickly, your friend has been arrested, he is charged with stealing cattle.  They got him locked up in the Buffalo County jail, it is in the courthouse."

The yellow dog wants to help out now that he is getting food on a regular basis, so he hunts for a stick, but there aren't any trees, so he wags his tail like it is a wand:




Several people standing at the cigar stand inside the Midway Hotel, Kearney, Nebraska

Excited over his success, the yellow dog's tail wags faster and the second picture appears:




Courthouse and jail, Buffalo County, Nebraska.

The dog sees those trees and takes off, running.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Let me outta here! I ain't dun no cattle stealin'.  "

[Delmonico]

Delmonico arrives at the Buffalo County Jail and they let him in ta see Slim. 

"Slim I belive yer innocent, we'll have ta see bout gettin' ya a lawyer.  But it might be safer if we don't post bail, ya know what happent ta the last two accused cattle theives that left this jail."

"We wouldn't want that ta happen ta you.  If'n ya get hung it would be nice ta have a decent lookin' corpse ta ship back ta Wissyconsion."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Ya needs to find a lawyer quick. I gots to get outta here by toworrow so I can go hunting fer Chinese Chix in the Dakota territory."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico is confused that Slim is worried about hunting a bird that ain't been introduced ta the Dakotas yet and ain't worried about some one payin' the law off and takin' him to another county and hangin' him and burnin' his body ta a crisp.   Like the last accussed  cattle theives in the Buffalo County Jail.

[Silver Creek Slim]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Delmonico is confused that Slim is worried about hunting a bird that ain't been introduced ta the Dakotas yet...

Even though the black choppers twernt invented yet, didn't stop them from taking me to Area 51.
