This here is another rooten tooten tale of the wild
and wooly west, with Marshal Matt Bear, Kitty Lucy,
Doc and Festus Hall. We enter the tale with with an old
sour dough by the name of Fergus Hagus entering the Assay
office with his poke of gold.
Assayer Snively Whiplash : What can I do you for old timer?
Fergus : Well, Mr whiplash, Weigh out thisn here poke of gold
and tell me how much you can give me for it.
Whiplash sees an opportunity to take advantage of the near sighted,
half senile old goat and places the SPECIAL SET of doctored weights on
the scale.
Whiplash:Well old timer, it looks like it about 14 ounces, so that would be 280 dollars cash.
Fergus : WHY THAT DON'T SEEM RIGHT! THAT DON'T SEEM RIGHT AT ALL. THERE BE 20 OUNCES
OF GOLD DUST IN THAT POKE IF THERE BE A SPECK! GIMMEE MY POKE BACK AND TO HECK WITH YOU.
Whiplash: Now , now old timer, no need to get yourself all riled up. It natural for the miner to feel that
their poke weighs more then what a buyer says it is. No hard feelings friend and here is your gold back.
When the old man leaves the Assay Office and is heading for the Short Horn Saloon, the Assayer calls
a man from the back of the office to come out front.
Whiplash : Now listen up and listen good Sure Shot. That old man that just left here for the saloon, has got
20 ounces of gold on him. I want you to follow him and when he leaves the saloon, take his gold.
Sure Shot : What ifn he gives me trouble?
Whiplash : Kill him ifn you have to but get the gold.
Sure shot : What about Marshall Bear?
Whiplash : If that overstuffed, moth eaten, sanctimonious pelt of a Marshall sticks his nose in things.....Shoot him too!
Do what ever needs doing, just get the gold back here.
Stay tuned for part two of our Tale of the West
Will the old sourdough lose his gold?
Will Marshall Matt Bear be Shot.......Again?
Will it be in his Kishkas........Again?
Will Snidely Whiplash be brought to justice, or will he continue
to rip off the old, the sick the widows the senile and the ignorant,
good folks of Coinsmoke?

I'd bet that Kitty Lucy plays a role in the finale...
