Delmonico gets back ta camp, no one is around, horses are gone, brandin iruns and ropes are still in the chuckwagon so he knows the crew ain't workin.
"Thats it" he says to himself. "I ain't puttin' up with this no more, roundup boss goin' home fer the weekend, crew drunk rowdy and diseased." "The extra cook is still out looking fer the boss and he went home ta see his wife and 15 kids, might be 16 by now."
"They can just cook fer themselves, bet they still complain about the food."
He then goes ta the chuckwagon and gets a piece of paper, "hope at least one of them can read, that way they can read it ta Slim when he get back."
SLIM AND CREW: I QUIT! I AM GOIN' TA DODGE CITY AND OUTFIT FER BUFFALO HUNTIN'.
IF YA WANT TA COME YA CAN, NO WHORES, NO BOOZE IN HOSTILE COUNTRY!
MEET ME AT RATH'S STORE TOMMOROW EVENIN.
DELMONICO
He then nailed the paper ta the tank of the chuckwagon, letting a stream of cheap booze dribble on the ground. Saddling the largest mule he goes ta the chuckwagon one more time and gets his Sharp's 50-90 with the German 6X scope on it (Zeiss is nice) Carefulling putting in the scabbard he puts a pack saddle on another mule and adds a little grub and his loadin' outfit to the pack.
"I'll just get what else I need in Dodge." With that he heads south ta the Arkansaw river, giggling with the thought that poor ol' Slim will try ta put hot irun ta a 2000 pound buffalo bull when he shows up.
