Newbrassky

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother knocks over a chair in her haste to get to Trinity. With a trembling hand, she feels his forehead, which is cold and clammy. Biting back her gag reflex, she lowers her face to his.

"He's not breathing."

She lowers her head to his chest.

"I can't hear his heart beating!!"

Sitting back on her heels, she notices the hole in his pants.

"OH MY LANDS, RIGOR MORTIS HAS SET IN! TRINITY'S DEAD!!"

[Delmonico]

Late in the afternoon Delmonico arrives at the canyon of the Snake River and camps near the cool waterfall.  He catches a couple trout for his supper.  

As he build the fire, he hopes that someone is smart enough to put Trinity in a barrel of moonshine if he dies before Delmonico gets back to the ranch with the coffin   With the heat  up in the upper 90's the body will bloat and decay very fast.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

With Slim gone and Pete off someplace, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother flails.

"I can't drag him to the river, he's too heavy! And I can't get him in a barrel of his recipe for the same reason. Oh, lands, he's gonna rot in here and stink up the kitchen and Delmonico will have a fit!"

Just then, she gets a tap on her shoulder that startles her into a little squeal. Turning, she sees two massive Bohunks looming over her.

"Came t'see Delmonico," the hairier one mutters, "Bu looks like you need some hep."

With the help of the bohunks, Trinity's body is carried down tothe river and stored near the place where he found the evil magic ring.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico finishes his supper of trout.     He decides that he will take a short nap and then he will head on to the ranch after dark.  It will be better on the horses to travel in the cool night.

[Delmonico]

<Authors note, the strange figure that was here last time has not been seen.  He must have found the Snake River that is in Idaho and runs into the Columbia.  This Snake River runs into the Niobrara River and has a very beutiful waterfall.

Ya didn't know we had them in Newbrassky>

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Once again, just as Delmonico starts to doze off, there is the sound of a revving engine, far off in the distance. The sound grows louder, comes closer, then seems to take flight in the air.

The silvery machine with the ghost rider soars over Delmonico's head, then comes to a safe, though skidding landing a short distance away.

Pale hands lift the helmet from the rider's head.

"YEEE HAW!! I did it! I finally cleared the Snake River!"

[Delmonico]

Delmonico pulls into the ranch and sees the FFg knittin' on the porch.    She tells him what has happened to Trinity.    Delmonico goes down to the river and puts the bloated body in the coffin and packs the body in salt.  He says, "It worked for Captian Call and for Charles Goodnight, it'll work for us.  He put the coffin in the shed made out of Potted Meat Product, knowing Trinity would want it that way."

He goes back to the porch,"We'll be able to keep the body now till Tuesday when Stoney Pete and Silver Creek Slim get back, maybe we can send a tellygraph message and some of the others can make it for the funeral."

"We must work on an eppy-taft so we can send to Lincoln and get a headstone."

[gophergrease]

We need to mix 1qt of Trinity's recipe with a qt of Del's coffe. Pour it into Trinitys mouth, maybe that will revive him. We could also try useing the magneto from a telephone to help with kick start him.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"I've been thinking of an epitath, but haven't come up with anything good. Do you think someone should tell the wagon ladies? They may want to come over for the services. We also have to figure out what to do with the stills. If we want to keep them, we should get the silver off his saddle and remove the lead solder. Did you want to have the viewing in the parlor?"

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother sniffles and wipes away a tear.

"Oh, and you might want to invite that Bobby fellow you know to drop back by. He had a nice singing voice."

"What's a magneto?"

[litl rooster]

I will arrange a day off from terrorizin' them Greenhorns in the other thread, to attend Trinty's funeral. I for one will sure miss him, He makes me laugh. Maybe someone close to him(FFg>>>hint hint) should try Gophergrease's suggestion.


Here lies Trinty,
same today as
he was yesterday.

[gophergrease]

A magneto is a small generator

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney comes back from his walk to find Trinity dead.  Scratching his head and wondering how the FFG could tell the difference between one of Trins commas sleeping or death.

"He hit his head, said the FFG."

'But that is the hardest part of his body.' Stoney thinks.

Hearing GG recipe Stoney mixed the brew and poured it down Trinity's throat.  Having no magnito and hearing GG say we could "kick start Trinity with it, Stoney kicks Trinity in the side of his head.

Trinity begins to move.

Stoney pours more of the Lixor down his Throat and kicks him again.  Trinity startst to breath.

Now he lies in the FFG arms and sleeps.

[gophergrease]

After replacing the lead solider in the stills, GG returns to the house, hearing that Trinity maybe coming out of a coma he runs to the kitchen. Grabbing a thick steak he fries it, then smothers it with a can of pork-n-beans. He then put the skillet of food near trinity's head. 

[Stoney Pete]

As Trinity breath in the vapors he begins to groan.  Then his sits bolt upright and screems


MY HEAD!
Then he proceeds to run in circles holding the back and front of his head.  He pauses as he passes the skillet to take a mouth full of food.  Which in turn makes him screem loader cause of his sore throat. 

He runs around again.  Pauses at the skillet long enought to take another bite.

He screems again.

This goes on for a while.

He's eating.  He'll be fine.

Trinity's back.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim rides in. Hearing the screaming from the kitchen, he runs in there to find Trinity doing his usual antics. 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico was tired after his trip and has slept for about 48 hours.  He gets up and sees Trinity runnin' around and figures someone fixed him.      Delmonico then goes in his office and everyone can here typin'.

[Stoney Pete]

Well since Trinity is alive and eating.  I guess we'd best dress off another of the pigs.  He's bound to be real hungry once his throat heals.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

After eating and eating and eating, Trinity belches and pauses. As he stands near the Frumpy Fairy Godmother, he gets a glazed look to his eyes and grins. The Frumpy Fairy Godmother drops her gaze to see she's looking at the hole in his trousers. With a delecate cough, she looks away. Trinity's smile grows, then he bolts out of the house, running for the barn.

Five minutes later Trinity is on a horse and heading out.

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother gives a small sigh.

"He's off to those wagons, again. Could've waited until he healed. With his head like that, those ladies might think he's been scalped or has the pox or something. "

[Stoney Pete]

Seeing Trinity ride off, Pete knew he had enough time to smoke the bacon proper.  All said now Pete was confident they had enought to last quite a while.  Even with Trinity eating enough for three.

[Delmonico]

"Them ladies wouldn'd worry about Trinity lookin' like he had a pox, they'd just think they gave it to him."

"Looks like we'll have to drag out the mercury compond and the syringe again."
