Rueben crosses the plains searchin' fer Del.  Slowly as always.  Lumpy misses his stable mate and follows after.

Delmonico takes several cratesto the CB&Q depot, they are marked "Fragile, Handle With Care."  He also leave off a strange looking wagon.  Delmonico buys a ticket to the morning westbound and goes to his hotel room.

The crates were loaded in the baggage car and Delmonico settles down in his seat in the passenger car. He nods off on the ride back to Dunning.

RUMBLE......... CRASH........... TUMBLE........... ROLL!
Debris scatters for hundreds of yards.


The CB&Q lays still, water and steam douse the firebox and more steam rises, engine, tender and cars are left in pieces by a cyclone that swiftly moves away.

Delmonico decides to walk on into Dunning and let the CB&Q guys decide if his shipment has been destroyed, with the insurance policy safely in his pocket he heads off, noticing there is a lot of destruction along the path:

It looks like that they might have salvaged a couple of barrels of spirits.

Delmonico's shipment was destroyed in the tornader, so when the Dunning telegraph lines get put back, he wires Omaha for more gear. ;D

Delmonico goes and checks the livery stable, it is fine as well as the buggy and Slim's team.  He hitches it up and heads for the ranch, empty handed.::)
