As he breaks open his shotgun to load it, he finds a note in the chamber.
"Knew you'd look here if yer horses were missing, last time I left a note on the table, Trinty ate it. Got yer team with the buggy, needed the buggy real bad. If ya need to do any wagon pulling or plowin' use the steam tractionengine. The key for it is on the rack behind the kitchen stove., it's embossed CASE on it. Most times I would get mad ifyou got on my Case, but for now it's OK."
