                                                                      Kansas City, Kansas

Train whistle blew… as it pulled into the station.. In Kansas City, Kansas. The conductor.. Rushed off the train to report to the local sheriff that two of his sleeper cars were ..missing off the train, they had been derailed.. And , he needed help locating them and that there would be people that needed  help
Possibly medical help. He didn’t know that they were in any other sort of trouble….


They also sent word onto the transcontinental R.R. to let them know about the missing cars….
As word traveled across the telegraph.. It was passed to most law offices… so when it reached
Barney, in Dodge. .of course… Burke was in the office.. when it came in.   so, when Barney read it a loud
Burke’s first reaction was… “That’s the train the Marshal and Miss Kitty is on.. Barney.. ain’t it.?. Ain’t it?
I think so Burke..   Burke ran out of the office.. Straight for Newly…  Rushing into the Marshal’s office…
Tripping over his own feet… Newly, … Newly…  what is it Burke?   The Marshal and Miss Kitty’s train…
Yeah.. What about it?   Barney just got a wire, saying two cars derailed from it and 15 people are missing…
Do ya think … do ya think Newly…  Newly, throw up his hands.. Just hold on Burke!… Marshal Dillon got off the train .. To go after someone in Jefferson City with other lawmen… OH, well then ok.  Burke was ready to leave then he realized… Newly what about Miss Kitty?… Do You Think… huh? Huh… Newly?   
Newly went to Barney… I need you to send a message… to Jefferson City…. To Marshal Dillon

Marshal Matthew Dillon, c/o
Sheriff Office, Jefferson City, Missouri

Gerald, ushered all the woman onto a wagon… there was ten of them…. Kitty knew from the gun shots.. That whatever men where on the cars they must have killed.   It was apparent that they hadn’t intended to take her but ….seeing she was older then most of them.   But then again ,she still looked good compared to the harder life some woman had on farms?

Kitty was paying strict attention to where they were going… so she would know where they were at all times.. That was something she always remembered from Matt and Festus’     Gerald and his Men kept them close to wooded area’s  as day broke… as not to be seen…    As they let the girls get out and walk around…  Kitty reminded the girls to stay close and not to separate from everyone else….
Kitty, walked over to Gerald…   So, What’s your Plan?   He turned, handed her a cup of coffee… I trust you won’t throw this at me?… I wouldn’t want to have to kill you… No, I’m sure that would just break your heart… she said sarcastically.    What did you mean ..we were gonna make you a rich man?
The Girls will bring a very high price across the boarder.. Miss Russell..!   She furrowed her brow…
Your gonna sell them?    I’m not gonna give them away…. !    What on earth….  Do you have any Idea. who…    Now Miss Russell…your getting all worked up for no reason.. You can’t stop this…
She was now soooo Angry!!!!!!!    Do you have any idea how many lawmen  are out looking for you right now?…  Hahahahaha…  they have never found me yet!?    But they will….. he will! ….. He?   Who is this he Miss Russell?    Matt Dillon!   United States Marshal! And when he gets you.. He’ll kill you !  He will !
Kitty was losing her temper… and she knew she shouldn’t put… the more he laughed at her….
You talk like you know this Marshal Dillon?… I Do!   And you think he can kill me?   He Can!
He has to find me first…!     Oh he will, especially when he finds out what you have done?  
Then she stormed off!… wanting to kick herself for saying anything….     When she went back
To where the woman were.. They were all in a huddle…. Look, ladies.. We all have to stick together…
I know your all scared… but we don’t have time to be scared…. We have to get out of here… so we have to come up with a plan?    Now there are ten of us… and only four of them right now..?   But as we go on further.. There may be more…?    So, ….We have to find a way to get their guns.. away from them…?
Can any of you shoot?   Beth said I can…  Yeah, honey I know you can…..How about the rest of you?
Even a little?    Julianne said.. I can shoot arrows…Kitty started to laugh to herself… sorry, honey that won’t help.. Oh, alright … I’ll have to think of something… Look just try to stay together…



Matt , the Sheriff and the Posy  of men rode in a small town…And when they stopped in the  Sheriff office there… The Sheriff told them.. about the Train .. And how the people were missing , by this time the Cars were located… and the Five Men that were shot.   Matt sent a wire ahead… wanting them to check  if Kitty
And the Girls were still on the train?    When they got a return answer… FEAR…Overtook Him….
Where could they be? Were they hurt? What happened to them?   They still didn’t know that this was related to the case they were on…..    But , Once again…One of  His worst Fear was surfacing…..
