Drusilla was the local railroad boss’ favourite hooker and the Bunyan gang had abducted Drusilla and had taken her to their canyon mining camp, for ransom purposes. The Bunyan mining camp was located in a small South facing box canyon, comprising of a log cabin and a small wooden shack, located centrally, with the mine located in the North-East corner of the canyon.
Drusilla was being held in the log cabin, with Slim watching over her, while Rich patrolled around the back of the cabin. Frank & Gary were in the mine.
The Daltry gang arrived at the head of the canyon and eyed up the apparently sleepy camp scene. Buck edged his way forward, covered by Will and his rifle, perched on some rocks. Behind the cabin, Rich thought he saw something headed into the canyon. He walked forward to get a better look, but a rifle round from Will saw him scuttling back behind the cabin. The firing caused Slim to peer out of the front window of the cabin, catching sight of Buck sneaking from the back of a wagon, up to the snake rail fence overlooking the cabin. Slim poked his six-shooter out of the window and squeezed a round off at Buck, causing Buck to throw himself back behind the wagon.
Dick watched Buck duck back and decided to try to flank around the right side of the cabin, but rather slowly!!
Attracted by the firing, Frank & Gary dashed out of the mine, Frank headed for the back of the cabin and Gary headed for the gully that ran up the West side of the canyon. He reached the gully and crept down along it, looking to flank around the left flank of the Bunyan gang.
Will, crouched down behind the rocks, was still covering the cabin with his trusty rifle, but even he was surprised when 3 Daltry henchmen seemingly appeared from the privy, located just a few yards South-West of the cabin. But, he wasn’t surprised enough to stop him callously gun down these newly appeared henchmen! He then turned his rifle on the cabin, winging Slim and causing Slim to duck back from the window.
Once these threats were neutralised Buck made another dash for the left side of the cabin, relying on Will to cover him with his rifle, but by this time Gary had snuck up the gully into a position overlooking Will in the rocks. Gary’s pistol ran out, causing Will to dive to his right. But just when Will thought things could not get any worse, another group of Daltry henchmen appeared behind him (another 10 random event)!!
Back at the cabin, Buck shouted for Dick to move-in on the cabin, with his shotgun, but Dick just seemed to freeze in uncertainty. Buck was yelling for him to go to the cabin, but Dick could see another Daltry gang member, Rich, coming along the snake rail fence to the right of the cabin. Dick hesitated just long enough for Rich to fire at him, fortunately for Dick, missing. While this was going on, Grip had seen Rich and moved to intercept him. Grip reached over snake rail fence, fired, sending Rich spawling in the dirt!
Having realised Dick was distracted with this new threat, Buck dashed for the cabin window, skidding to a halt, barely a few feet in front of the cabin window, just as Slim reappeared at the window! Another frantic exchange of shots saw Buck throwing himself back away from the window and headlong into the dirt. Dick glanced down at Buck and then up at Slim and his smoking revolver at the window, stunned! In his head, Dick was also aware of shouting behind the wagon, only few feet behind him. More Daltry henchmen, what was going on, was this a trap! Slim was actually smirking at Dick, which seemed to unfreeze Dick. He swung up the shotgun, blasting Will’s head clean off his shoulders!
This was all too much for the rest of the Bunyan gang and they decided to ride for the hills, leaving behind a whole pack of newly recruited henchmen, who were now wondering why they had come all this way to join-up with this Bunyan gang!?
