A true made up tale of the west...

[Delmonico]

(Author's note: True story:  My yuppie friend's Grandfather was deported back to Germany about 1935 for being a chicken theif, his wife stayed in America with the children and got a divorce.)

Them dang Germans!

[Trinity]

Trinity is still in the Jail house with the Deputy when Jem walks in, head sunken in shame.  Trinity, glad to see his change of heart whispers to him "He don' know what happent ta him, git back there in a hurry an no one will know the difference!

...Oh, an' ol' Del an the Shurf cooked up that ol' wanted poster mess ta mess with ya. <<chuckle>>  They'll be lettin ya out tamorry.

[Delmonico]

Fer the hangin'.   Don't want no chicken thief hung in tha jail.   Ya want his Sharps Trinity, I already have one.

[Trinity]

"Del, yer gonna scare him!  He's gonna 'scape an rough up the deputy agin!  The deputy ain' to bright as it is, any more bumps on the noggin lahk that an' he's gonne be useless."

[Delmonico]

Well we need ta get a new Dep-uty, that one already done let a chicken thief get away once. Could be worse though, he could be a chicken moo-lester.    Then he'd have to sit on the Group W bench with Arlo.

[litl rooster]

Not even thanksgiving, How did Arlo get here?

[Delmonico]

Warped mind.   He was in Newbrassky a while back.   Are you a bozo on this bus.

 I must be

[Trinity]

Don't know much about the feller, but I like many of his songs.  Are we talking about Arlo Guthrie??

[Cherokee Jem]

After being released, Jem collects his guns from the unintelligent deputy and straps on his colt. He then stuffs the Schofield under his belt, and places his rifles in the saddle scabbards. Any new news on those rustlers?

[Trinity]

"Which ones?  Them chicken rustlers you was mistaken fer?  Ya kain't go an take the law in yer own hands now, Jem.  Ya better be careful!"

[Delmonico]

(Authors note to Trinity:  Yep, Woodies son.)

Delmonico watches Jem ride out a town and then he remembers, "I wonder what happened to that lil rooster fella?"   

Then he wonders out loud "I wonder if that kid knows sign language?  Oh well he can't get in too much troble unless he does something to offend them."

[Trinity]

(Author's note:  To be honest, I prefer Woody to Arlo, but like I said, I like some of Arlo's songs.)

[Delmonico]

Delmonico heads out to find lil rooster, along the way he sees Jem near naked, staked near an ant hill with mooolasses all over his body.   Delmonico shakes his head and heads on lookin' for lil rooster.  He knows Trinity will come along and make peach with the indians before the ants eat too much of Jem.

[Trinity]

Trinity rides up and finds Jem just as Delmonico did.  Not seeing any Indians around, he dismounts his cayuse and unties Jem.  Just then an arrow takes Trinity's hat off, nearly taking some if his scalp with it!  The two take out of there at full speed with a whole war party hot on their heels.  Arrows are flying all over the place.  Trinity pulls his rifle from its scabbard and passes it back to Jem.  "See what ya can hit!"

Next, Trinity fishes in his pommel bag and pulls out the greatest weapon of all... Alcohol.  He throws one back at the indians to see if they feel like trading and he pulls the cork from the other with his teeth, spits it out and takes a deep drink.  (For years now, Trinity has been able to drink on the back of any horse at any speed.)

[Delmonico]

Suddenly Trinity and Jem are surrounded by Indians who make them throw down their arms.

Two have badges that say Indian Police, Trinity and Jem are arrested for distributing intoxicating spirits on a reservation in violation of Federal Laws.      As for the ants and the mollasses it was just a ceramony to see if Jem was brave.  If he would have passed he would have been adopted into the tribe and would have been wed to the Chiefs daugher.

But now they are both hand cuffed, leg ironed and behind bars in the jail on the agency.  Tomorrow a US Deputy Marshall asigned to the Indian Territory will take them to Fort Smith for trial.   

And yes he has a patch over one eye.

[Silver Creek Slim]

 

[Delmonico]

Thats him, he ain't gonna take no guff of a them two. 

[Trinity]

On their way to the jail, Trinity and Rooster start talking about the merits of home made corn squeezins and Trinity produces a bottle from his pommel bag.  It's not long before Rooster has unshackled the two wayward heroes and he and Trinity are laughing and drinking up a storm while Jem stands guard with a Pepperbox.
