Part 17 Vol.4

3Gun listened to his friend from county about the stranger he had spoken to, learning it was Hunter Kanga's brother. It was obvious now why he had come and the Sheriff knew it for sure when Little Ron arrived to say he was wanted in the street.

Elsewhere, Rusty was working on a story he felt would give him celebrity in the town and prove he was a capable newspaper man. Just had to keep his jar of mystery contents under wraps for the time being.

Frank and Sue spent their time planning the building of the windmill. They chose a spot and talked about its design then with everything ready to begin they relaxed and waited for the train to bring the last part. Frank managed to sneak in a cuddle.

Buck found himself in a dilemma when he and Blink left to find the desert rose for Myna's wedding. Blink did a runner during the night and left Buck to find the flower himself and then give Dixie and Hugh the bad news.

Margarita turned to her probation eagerly, getting a stern set of instructions from Lotta and promising to show she was serious about reforming and paying back the town - particularly Deputy Darkly.

Out in the street in front of the saloon, 3Gun was surprised to see that Chester Kanga wasn't waiting to fight but talk. It amounted to the same thing, he wanted to taunt the sheriff with what he planned - a shootout at Lean's gravesite and then the killing of the sheriff's friend from county.

Lou and Bruce were ready to leave and Lou asked Unger to start work on her plans for the forge she was going to open. She gave him a down payment from her teaberry windfall and mentioned about her 'diamonds' arriving soon.

The mute man that found a job at the general store overheard and immediately introduced himself to Lou on a scribbled note. His eyes lit up at the mention of diamonds and he invited her to the cafe for a breakfast. Lou saw through Enzo right away, a lifetime of schemers and scammers had taught her well. She played along, including Bruce as an expert in diamonds, and watched as he tried to do his own calculations. Finished eating, they left.

The town all learned some of Frank's background - poor start in life, bare knuckle fighting, carnival stunts with knives and guns and a racy social life. Unsatisfied he tried more things - inventions, hiring out as a gunfighter and finally to Busted Gulch where his inventions, novel as they were, went nowhere. He also made the mistake of admiring CG.

Myna had eagerly sent a letter to aunt and uncle Bigbee inviting them to the wedding and with matching eagerness they packed up and took the train to BG.

Gyn's nosy pranks about the sheriff finally came to a head when 3Gun told AJ to back her off or he would toss her in jail for being a public nuisance. They agreed a good fright would do the trick. AJ came on a bit stronger than anticipated and grounded her for two months.

Her complaining got her nowhere and it wasn't until Ray Solomon said he would keep her company when he wasn't working. Gyn grinned.
