TALES OF COINSMOKE - With Marshall Matt Bear (The Peacok Hoard Caper)

BearBear Posts: 18,953 ✭✭✭
Time we all returned to the wild , rough and ready west.

The town of Coinsmoke, made even tombstone look like

a nursery school. As we enter the scene, we see Lucykitty,

owner of the Coinbranch Saloon and paramour of the lawman,

come up to that sturdy pillar of rectitudiness, law and order,

Marshal Matt Bear.

Lucykitty: Matt, I hear tell in the Coinbranch saloon, that the
Truthteller gang is coming to town to rob the bank.

Marshall Bear: I wonder why Lucykitty, the bank only has about $11.36
on hand. It hardly seems worth robbing.

Lucykitty: It's not for the money Matt, its for the fabulous collection of......
Peacok Dollars that resides in the bank vault.

Marshall Matt: Lucykitty, who is with Truthteller?

Lucykitty: Well Matt, I hear he has Buster Braddick, Hardcase Laura and
Fanny Farmer the Chocolate Kid.

Marshall Bear: Lucykitty, tell my Deputies, Skeeter Keets, Mad Marty Malone and
Rubber Chicken Charley, I need them. Tell them to be packing real heavy hardware.
I will scout around and see what I can find out.

So Lucykitty heads back to the Coinbranch Saloon and our stalwart Marshall Bear heads

in harms way. Soon Marshall Bear spies Teddy Truthteller and his gang approach.


Marshall Bear: Teddy, what are you and your gang doing in town?

Teddy Truthteller: Well Marshall, me and the boy's and gal are just in town for a little fun
and refreshment. We aint looking for no trouble here.

Marshall Bear: Alright Teddy, just so that is all you boys and gal are in town for. Any trouble though
and I will take it personal........reaalllll personal.

Marshall Bear walks off looking for the Town's Mayor. Soon he spots the Mayer and walks up to him.

Marshall Bear: Mayor Homerun Hall, I am here to tell you that there is real trouble brewing up in town.

Mayor Hall: What is it Matt, you look like a a VF Barber half with dings that has been ATd.

Marshall Bear. The Truthteller Gang is in town and I am afraid that they are after the Fabulous Peacok Hoard
in the bank's vault. Now me and the deputies are gonna keep an eye on them, but as backup, I think you aughta
get your graders armed and ready for mayhem.

Mayor Hall: Right Matt. I will gather up Old Blind Bob, One Eyed Louie , Crazy Charley, Carol and Otis. They will be issued
shootin irons. They might be glad to get away from grading Washington Dollars for a while as well as riding herd on the Forum
roughnecks.

Word spreads quickly thru the town. All available eyeballs are peering out from doorways and windows, to watch the action.
It's HIGH NOON (not a bad title for a movie) and Marshall Matt is standing tall in the middle of the dusty town's main street.
Suddenly, shots ring out from the bank and the Truthteller gang comes running out into the street.

Marshall Bear: Alright Truthteller, you and your gang are under arrest.

Truthteller: Well Marshall, Come take us ifen you can.


With that challange and counter challange, guns are drawn and a volley of shots rings out. Matt being the good guy, is
able to get off 26 shotts without reloading.The bad guys are all down, but Marshall Bear has been hit and slowly falls down
to the dusty street. Hearing the shots, Lucykitty comes running out of the Coinbranch Saloon and up to the fallen Marshall Bear.

Lucykitty: Oh Matt, Are you hurt bad? How do you feel?

Marshall Bear: A bit of gas......I think, cough....cough .....
That I been hit in the lungs, liver, kidney and the Kishkas....Cough......gasp.

Lucykitty: Ifen you dont make it Matt, could I have your pelt to hang over the bar?

Marshall Bear.: Sure Lucykitty darlin, it's the least I kin give you.....Cough.....Cough.....

Soon Doc and the deputies come running up to the fallen Marshall. After quickly examining
the Marshall doc speaks.

Doc: Matt has been shot four times. Once each in his lung, liver, kidney and his Kishkas,

Deputies, what can we do doc?

Doc: Well, for starters, Keets you plug two of the holes with your fingers and Marty, you plug
the other two holes. Deputy chicken, you help me carry the Marshall up to my office.



Will the Marshall recover from his wounds?

Will Lucykitty get Matts pelt?

Will Mayor Hall and his gallant band ever arrive to back up the Marshall

What will become of the Fabulous Peacok Hoard?

Did any of the Truthteller Gang survive?


I guess you will just have to tune into the next stirring tale from.....COINSMOKE!!!!

    if you visit shoutcast.com and search for "old time" you will
    find several streaming stations that play just that. big band
    and old time radio. gunsmoke, dragnet, sherlock holmes, jack
    benny show, and many many more.

    i highly recommend it for background music while browsing ebay
    for your latest newp.

    winamp is also a highly recommended mp3 player/streamer which
    you can download there for free. the light version.

    carry on!
