Prelude
The Blastersnatch Gunfight in Ruby Junction is a small yet defining moment in Guffingfordian history. The first time the police and members of the Inter-State Army took up rifles and pistols against a single group of bandits, to stop crime dead in its tracks - for good was the reasoning. It'd take another 12 years to clear Guffingford of its notorious criminal elements, and in 1933 the heat was gone from the western plains and mountains. Xavierro Guerra dead, Ed Rappen sent into exile and "Curly" Bill Buford was thrown in prison - where he remained for the rest of his life. The No Mercy Riders were finally crushed and other gangs were destroyed in the enduring fight against organised crime. Many other crooks such as "Reckless" Frank Capezza and Johnny Pengo left for the area of Neu-Bayern, never to be seen again. Some historians say the duo stole the treasure of Ed Rappen and Xaviero, hidden somewhere in the same area. Neither of them were ever seen again in Guffingford, which fuels the rumors of them having left the country after they found Ed and Xaviero's treasure trove.
