This chapter will introduce two new playing characters, both of whom were NPC’s my Play-by-post Wild West module that ran from August 2004 until April 2007. The events immediately following the module “Ballots and Bullets”.</em></p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Chapter 22: Arrival in Tucson, July 29th, 1882: </strong></p><p></p><p>Since that time Henry Buckskin Bennett reunited with his fellow prison escapees he has taken up the role of party leader, bringing them south through the unpopulated sections of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona with a final destination of Mexico. They have been dependent upon him for food and shelter during this trek. As they neared the southeastern Arizona community of Tucson he had urged that they avoid the town completely but Sally convinced Angus that they needed to replenish their supplies before heading the final sixty miles to the Mexican border </p><p></p><p>They found lodgings in the poorer side of Tucson seedy no-questions-asked hotel. Henry’s concerns proved to be warranted as Sally, Mongo and Pamela were almost immediately recognized. Thankfully that recognition was from two Promise City saloon rats who were also on the run. These two are a saloon girl Kitty Trent and gambler named Tony Lucky. </p><p></p><p>These two decided to throw in with the gang despite Henry’s voiced concerns about then, with MacTavish now assuming the mantle of leadership. MacTavish was also leery of being with these two but decided it was safer to keep them very close at hand, otherwise they will probably just cut a deal with somebody to turn the group in for the reward money.</p><p></p><p></p><p><u>History and Background - Kitty Trent</u></p><p></p><p>Born in Memphis Tennessee in the year1852, Katerina was the illegitimate daughter of a union between a local dancehall girl Chartreuse Fortier and a Mississippi River riverboat gambler named Beauregard LeFrance. Over the years Katerina discovered that neither of her parent’s were actually using their real names and that each was running from the law for unspecified crimes. Her parents never married but remained close. </p><p></p><p>Katerina’s superior intelligence was recognized at an early age and she began school when she was only two. She spent the school year living with her mother at the saloon Chartreuse worked, which meant that ‘Kitty’ often had to spend the night sleeping in a back alleyway whenever her mother had male guests in their room. She spent summers with her father aboard whichever riverboat he was with, using his last name at those times. Between the two she became well versed in the shady world of gambling halls and the various types of people who frequent those professions.</p><p></p><p>During the summer of 1863, the height of the Civil War made riverboat travel along the Mississippi River unsafe, and the riverboat that she and her father were on was docked in Chicago for the duration of the war. Beauregard and Kitty had no complaints, as the city provided a number of new financial opportunities for them, and both lost their Southern accents fairly quickly. When the war ended they remained in Chicago as they received word that Kitty’s mother had died during the war so there was no reason for her to return to Memphis.</p><p></p><p>As Kitty blossomed into a beautiful young lady she soon found that men were attracted to her. She and her father worked out a scheme where she would flirt with a prominent man and get him alone and into a compromising position. Her indignant father would then arrive on the scene and they would then blackmail him. This worked for several years, being most effective with powerful married politicians. But they eventually crossed the wrong man, a mobster, who killed Beauregard in retaliation. Kitty fled to safety in the south side of the city where she worked under her mother’s name as a dance hall girl and prostitute until the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Her neighborhood was destroyed in the fire, so she then sought employment back on riverboats. </p><p></p><p>Kitty worked as an entertainer on the Lauren Belle, the riverboat of gambler James C. Duvall. While there she fell became romantically involved with an engine room mechanic by the name of Jethro Trent and they were wed. He was a huge burly man and they readopted her scheme of her getting men into compromising positions with her large irate husband then arriving, after which they would then negotiate blackmail money. She was on the Lauren Belle in 1876 for the ‘Million Dollar Tournament’, won by gambler Brett Maverick (from the movie “Maverick”). She was upset that she was unable to come up with a scheme to steal the tournament money and vowed to not let an opportunity like that pass her by again. </p><p></p><p>Two years later a similar opportunity presented itself, this being a $ 500,000 tournament. She and Jethro arranged to have the riverboat’s steering mechanism break while traveling at top speed towards a sandbar. The crash and fire that followed provided them with an opportunity to steal the money, but not before a guard shot Jethro dead. Kitty killed the guard but had to move quickly and in the melee had lost the satchel they had planned to conceal the stolen money in, nor could she hide it away on the rapidly burning ship. She quickly convinced a passenger and tournament gambler of questionable morals by the name of Evan Adair to smuggle the stolen money off the ship for her. She later met up with Adair and they evenly divided the money.</p><p></p><p>Kitty lived in luxury for the next thirty months until the money ran out. At that point she looked up Adair, who had acquired a saloon in the Arizona Territory in the town of Promise City. He took her on as an employee and in short time she had worked her way into both his bed and a managerial position, as the Madame of the Palace’s contingent of prostitutes and dancers.</p><p></p><p>Kitty enjoyed this life until six-months ago. In January 1882 a rival saloon came under new management and the Lucky Lady Dance Hall and Saloon owners began to make Adair’s life miserable, including threats to murder Adair. A Palace Saloon prostitute named Jane Boag then began to undermine Kitty’s authority and created unrest among the employees. Boag later left town for a Tucson gambling hall which was coincidentally owned by the Lucky Lady’s owners. </p><p></p><p>The Promise City saloon rivalry culminated in early June when the Palace Saloon was dynamited, killing two employees. A few of the attackers were killed, one of whom was a former customer of Kitty’s from her early months in town. On his person was found a forged document, incriminating Kitty in the attack. She knew she was innocent but that Adair would never believe her, so for her own safety she fled town, and is now wanted by the authorities as well. </p><p></p><p>She fled to Tucson where she ran into another old acquaintance from Promise City, Tony Lucky, a gambler from the Lucky Lady who was recently fired. For several months Lucky had served as Adair’s spy, filling him in on events at the Lucky Lady in return for female companionship at the Palace. Similar to Kitty’s situation, false evidence was presented implying that he too had been working against Adair which forced him to flee town. </p><p></p><p>In the last two weeks Tony and Kitty became lovers. They began plotting how to get their revenge against the people who ruined their lives and livelihood, by either robbing or destroying the Tucson gambling hall operated by the people who have wronged them. A unique opportunity then appeared, as Tony and Kitty have spotted five individuals sought lodgings at the near Tucson where they were staying.. Three of these – Shotgun Sally Fox, Mongo Bailey and Pamela Yeats – were former Promise City residents turned outlaws, joining the New Douglas Gang. </p><p></p><p></p><p><u>History and Background - Tony ‘Lucky’ Corleone</u></p><p></p><p>Born in 1854 on the Italian island of Sicily, Anthony (Tony) Corleone found himself a family outcast as he had little interest in his family’s various business enterprises, preferring instead to spend his time in the company of attractive young ladies. This led to difficulties when at the age of sixteen one of his several lady friends found herself to be ‘in the family way’ and this young woman also happened to be the daughter of one of the family’s business rivals, where a blood feud had been going on for generations. Tony asked his father Vito for advice on how to best deal with the predicament and in response he was handed a pistol and told to quietly eliminate the young woman. </p><p></p><p>Tony chose instead to avoid both the girl and his own family and quietly fled from Sicily, traveling first to the Italian mainland, then on to Spain, and finally to the United States. While living in a poor section of New York City he began to make a living running games of three-card-Monty and other dishonest games of chance that relied upon his sleight-of-hand skills. This led to him becoming a professional gambler. At that time he acquired the nickname ‘Lucky’ although the nickname refers less to his mediocre card dealing and more to his success with obtaining female companionship. </p><p></p><p>Tony eventually found his way out west to the mining town of Tombstone, arriving there in 1879. By that point in time the ‘boomtown’ was already well established, the large veins of silver having been discovered two years earlier, and the saloons had already established gamblers as dealers. As their skills surpassed those of Tony he was unable to find employment as a dealer, but was able to win enough money as a player to get by. At that point he crossed paths with his cousin Francis Corleone Fiochelli. Francis was now going by his Americanized name of Frank and was employed as the bodyguard for a Tucson, Arizona banker who was visiting Tombstone. Tony did not want to get embroiled again with the family business and kept his interactions with his cousin on a superficial level.</p><p></p><p>Silver was discovered some sixty miles east of Tombstone in 1880 and Tony was among the first to set off to find his fortune there. The community of Promise City, Arizona grew up between the initial four mine heads and Tony became the house gambler at the newly established Lone Star Dance Hall and Saloon, working for an enterprising Texas couple named Tom and Maggie Whipple. Tony’s fast draw skill began to draw a crowd and helped with security, although he thankfully never had to actually fire the gun, as while he can pull a gun quickly from the holster his marksmanship isn’t very good at all (Tony is a lover, not a fighter). </p><p></p><p>The Lone Star had initial success but then fell upon hard times in 1881 when Maggie caught Tom having an affair with their dance hall singer Flossie. Flossie was fired and moved to another saloon in town, with the majority of the Lone Star’s customers following her. Eventually a new (and better) gambler named Job Kane joined the Lone Star and business picked up again. In January 1882 the saloon hired a new singer, a new waitress, and a third gambler. Business continued to pick up but Tom Whipple’s roving eye again caused trouble, him hitting on the new female employees, which resulted in the Whipples divorcing and selling the Lone Star to the town’s liquor distributor and three of the employees. Tony wasn’t even asked about becoming a partner, which he considered to be grossly unfair since he was the employee with the most seniority. </p><p></p><p>Tony continued to deal at the renamed “Lucky Lady”, whose new owners initiated an ongoing feud with another gambling hall in town, The Palace Saloon. This benefited Tony greatly as he soon became the ‘inside man’ for the Palace’s owner Evan Adair, reporting to Adair the various happenings at the Lucky Lady in exchange for time with the ladies of the evening at the Palace. </p><p></p><p>In June things took a nasty turn when one Lucky Lady partner was killed, another permanently left town, and a third lost part of the saloon in a poker game to a famous Tucson gambler. That gambler decided to host a high stakes poker tournament there. Adair decided to play in the tournament, hiring Tony to help him to win, but the owners decided to have Tony work security rather than dealing. Cousin Frank also showed up and was put on security detail as well. Adair then worked out a plan included replacing dealer Job Kane with a look-alike, with Tony being key in making the switch. But the imposter was soon found out, requiring Tony and Frank to flee town in a hurry. </p><p></p><p>They initially fled to Galeyville, a former mining town along the Arizona/New Mexico border. They soon found out enough information about the outcome of the poker tour. Adair was prevented from winning due to an arrest by Federal agents on trumped up charges and he was arrested and then deported to Europe. The whole tournament was apparently a sham from the start, as with the removal of Adair a Lucky Lady own it. Tony discovered that unbeknownst to the general public, this owner and the Tucson gambler who organized the tournament were old friends and they actually co-owned the Tucson gambling hall together. Tony vowed to get revenge on those who had wronged him despite Frank’s urging to let it ride and just move on. </p><p></p><p>From there Frank presumably continued on to Texas while Tony headed up to Tucson seeking revenge. Upon his arrival there he ran into an old acquaintance, Kitty Trent, who was the Madame at the Palace Saloon. She too had been forced to flee Promise City on bogus charges. In the weeks since meeting up the two have become lovers and began to plan how to hurt the gambling hall. Tony then learned to his surprise that his cousin Frank had not gone to Texas but was in Tucson, and that he was also a long-time partner at the Tucson gambling hall of Tony’s enemies. Thus, Tony had been set up and betrayed by his own family! </p><p></p><p>While plotting their revenge Tony and Kitty had the good fortune to spot a group of five individuals seeking lodgings at the same seedy no-questions-asked hotel near Tucson where they were staying. Three of these five, Shotgun Sally Fox, Mongo Bailey and Pamela Yeats, were former Promise City residents turned outlaw who had joined the New Douglas Gang led by Deadeye Douglas. Two months earlier that Gang had pulled off the largest bank robbery in United States history, at a large silver town in Colorado. Half of the gang escaped but these three were captured and thrown in prison, from which they had escaped a month ago. Tony and Kitty approached this group and after revealing that they were also wanted from the law joined up with the gang, who were on their way to Mexico</p></blockquote><p></p>
