@8@P99a9abbaa@F1@C3 Martin 'Sane' Braun @C2 Written By Sane/Scorpio @C1 The year is 1884, july the 2nd, two days before Independence day in the USA. In two days the people of the USA will celebrate the fact that the USA became independant from England 108 years ago. In the city of Sioux Falls/South Dakota the citizens are very busy preparing for the great party. @C2 Martin 'Sane' Braun, the leader of the largest gang in the USA, is nearby but everybody in Sioux Falls is too busy with the party to notice him and his gang. @C3 Braun is the only son of the Dutch immigrants Cor and Bets Bruyn, who immigrated to the USA in 1865 with their then 5 year old son Marco. @C1 The family Bruyn was very poor and it was hard for Cor to stay on the right path, and so he didn't. Cor took his son with him on robberies when he was 12 years old, at the age of 13 Marco shot his first man. Cor was caught by the sheriff of Madison in 1875 and was hanged while his wife had to watch. @C2 Because the name Bruyn was not so regular in the USA it wouldn't be hard for the government to find America's most wanted Marco Bruyn, because of this Marco @C2changed his name to Martin Braun. Marco, from now on Martin, escaped to Twin Falls, a little town near the Snake river in Idaho. His mother changed the new continent for the old one, Europe, again and no one ever heard something of her again. @C3 Martin kept quiet for more than three years and during that period he raised an army, 'the Buthers of Idaho', he had more than 10 well-armed men in his gang and the number was still growing. Since 1879 'the Buthchers of Idaho' did some cruel things; they robbed all kinds of banks, killed sheriffs, farmers, men, women and even children. @C1 Martin did the worst things, he liked to kill his victims slowly. In our days we would call Martin a serial killer. Because Martin was so cruel, the men in his gang doubted if he was sane, most thought he was insane but as a kind of joke, they nicknamed Martin: 'Sane'. So he became Martin 'Sane' Braun. @C2 In Sioux Falls was the biggest bank of South and North Dakota, all the gold of these two states was kept in this bank, worth more than 25 million dollars. It was one of the most modern banks of America, it was surrounded with 3 metre thick walls, near the bank was the headquarter of Sheriff Prossit and four men with machine guns were situated on the roof of the bank in all four corners. @C3 Mister Rochester, manager of the Falls bank, as the bank was called, was not @C3worried at all. Dick Rochester was already counting the minutes, within 15 minutes the bank would close for 3 days because of the coming independence day. Just as Rochester thought, the bank closed at 5 pm and everybody could go home to perepare for the party. @C1 Dick closed the doors of the bank at 5.10 pm and went for a drink to the saloon of Brat Hutchkins. 'Hi Brat.' Dick said. 'Gimme my regular' 'Wishkey?' Brat asked. 'Hmm...' Dick answerred. In the meantime two strangers entered the saloon and the voices died down. The strangers settled themselves on two stools at the bar. They ordered a glass of jajem, and began to talk about Martin Braun. 'I heard 'the Buthers' are in town ...' said one. 'Yep and I know exactly why they are here...' Dick settled himself next to the left stranger and said : 'O yeah? And why do you think they are in town, stranger?' 'Not so difficult to think of .. they are here for the gold!' said the stranger. 'My gold?' Dick asked. 'The gold of the Falls bank?' 'No the gold of the DC bank! Of course dickhead, the gold of the Falls bank!' the stranger said again. 'Hahaha!! That's impossible!' Dick said. 'My bank is so well protected that you couldn't even come in with the whole army without MY permission....' 'I wouldn't be too sure, mister ....eh..' the other stranger said. 'Mister Rochester, Dick Rochester' Dick said. 'Yeah ... Rochester! Well, I wouldn't be too sure Rochester.' 'I am Sam Crowe a soldier of the calvelery and this is my mate Al Jose, a mexican tracker. We are after the gang of Sane Braun since august 1880 and we have seen all their slaughterings since then. But we never @C1saw one 'Buther'! They are good!' 'When I was you I would go immidiately to the sheriff instead of going to the party....' @C2 Dick followed the advice of the two strangers and went to sheriff Prossit. Dick told Prossit what the two strangers of the cavelery told him. The sheriff said : 'Well Dick, I didn't want to upset you but you know it already now, so what the heck .... Yeah! Those men are right. A few days ago, one of my servants spotted some strangers. We heard ,from sources we can trust, that those strangers likely are 'the Butchers of Idaho' I am sorry Dick, but no party for us, we have to gard the bank!' 'Damned!' Dick said. ' And my girlfriend was comming to me during the holidays, she comes all the way from Pennsylvania!' 'I am afraid she has to go to the party with somebody else...' Prossit answered. 'Hell! Those fuckin' Butchers! Let them shoot people and rob banks somewhere else...' 'Well,' Prossit said 'look at the bright side buddy, when we catch some Buthchers, we can stop working.... Each Buthcher has a price of 15000 US dollars on his head and make that 20000 when he's still alive!' 'Wow!' Dick said 'So, we just wait in the bank and shoot us some Butchers!' 'Oh, no Dick, it's not that easy...My brother Jake, who was a sherrif in Drapecity, tried that 2 years ago. He, and two of his fellows hide in the bank and shot three Butchers. Unfortunately, the other Buthchers killed my brother Jake and the other two fellows. The Butchers took the bodies of their dead fellow-Butchers and left. No one got the reward!' 'And how do you think we can catch some of those dogs?!' Dick asked 'Oooh, I've got a good plan, Dick. But I better tell no-one untill @C2the Butchers come ... In case the information just happens to reach Sane Braun, don't get me wrong, though Dick. I do trust ya, but I got to be carefull!' 'I understand now Dick! But when do you think the Butchers'll come?' 'I bet they come on the night of the party, when everybody is dancing. They got some good chances then...' @C3 Two days later ..... Nothing had happened. So far, so good. It was 21:00 now and the party had begun 5 hours before. Prossit, Rochester, Jose, Crowe (the two cavelery-boys), Gage and Pearl (two deputies) were in the office of sheriff Prossit. 'I expect them every minute now, boys. I'll better tell you my plan now.' Prossit said. 'Listen carefully! Jose and Crowe have to mix with the party-people and pretend if they are drunk! Okay, they don't know you guys, so that's why you get that job. When the Butchers arive you will have to make a lot of noise, pretend you are drunk so no one will notice it! Just fire your guns and shout a lot. Gage, you get up the roof of this building and gard the bank, when the Butchers come you wait till they are all here, then shoot as many as you can! Go now! And Kevin, better take 5 shotguns with you so you don't have to reload!' 'Yep!' Kevin Gage said. 'I can go upstairs now?!' 'Yeah' Prossit answerred. 'Cry like an owl when you see them comming! Okay, next, Pearl, you are going to the my house, it's at the back of the bank, go and sit on the roof and do exactly the same as Gage!' 'Finally, you and me Prossit. We are going into the bank and hide in an empty safe, when the Butchers open it, we'll shoot them like dogs.' @C3'O yeah, Crowe and Jose! Before you leave I wanna make sure that you come into the bank after the Butchers got in, okay?!' 'Okay.' Crowe said. @C1 Within three minutes Rochester and Prossit were in the safe, Crowe and Jose mixed with the party-people and Pearl and Gage took their positions. The long waiting began. @C2 Well, long waiting ..... At 21:45 the inhabbitants got the surprise of their life .... They heard an awfull noise and after 20 seconds they saw where the noise came from ... the train, which drove on the railroad wich ran almost through Sioux Falls, had derailed and came with an enormous speed towards the party-people and the bank .... Within 10 seconds the dissaster was complete, the train, which wasn't occupied, drove over hundreds of party-people, leaving them mostly dead. Then the train hit the front of the bank, in the train was more as 50000 tons of dynamite! 5 seconds after the train hit the bank, the dynamite blew the whole front of the bank away. Most people who weren't killed by the derailed train died now because of the enormous shock wave caused by the explosion. Then, immidiately after the explosion, the town was full of Butchers. They came from everywhere and the army of Sane Braun, which was as big as 30 a 40 men, shot all the people which were still alive. All this happened in less than a minute. In the mean-time, Jose and Crowe had shot Pearl and Gage. When Martin arived, Jose and Crowe were the only survivors. 'Hi boss!' Crowe said to Martin. 'Be @C2carefull, in one of the saves are the sheriff and the owner of the bank!' Martin said: 'Good work guys! They fell for your story of the cavelery didn't they?!' Without waiting for an answer, Martin went on. 'Okay Jose, go into the bank, find the save were those guys are in, unarm them and bring them to me...' Jose went in, two minutes later he came back with Prossit and Rochester. 'You dirty little bastard' Dick said. 'You'll burn in hell!' 'Better in hell in 30 years as in heaven now!' Jose answerred. @C3 Dick was tied to four horses, his right leg to one horse, his left leg to an other horse and the same with his arms. Martin and three other Butchers hit the horses and the horses went to four different directions. The sight was horrible, Rochester was parted into four pieces...... Prossit puked and almost fainted. 'Don't worry sheriff!' Martin said. 'We are not going to do that with you ... we have something much more nice for you.....' All Butchers laughed. Martin took his shot-gun and fired 15 times on Prossit's arm, at the same place. There were so many bulletholes in Prossits arm, that it was easy for Martin to rip Prossit's arm off...... Jose threw buckets of water over Prossit to make sure he wouldn't faint. 'Just be strong' Martin said 'it's over before you know ....' Then Martin took the arm of Prossit and began to beat Prossit with his own arm !!!!!!!!! After some beats Prossit was as good as dead. But to make sure Prossit was really dead, Martin cut Prossit's chest and ripped his hart out. In the meantime some other butchers got all the gold out of the bank and the Butchers left Sioux Falls... The next day the cavelery arrived and saw what @C3happened, but the Butchers were already far away now... The next day you could read it in all papers ...: 'Butchers do it again ... loot : 25 million dollars .... Sioux Falls is dead ....' @C1 Note : The persons in this story are not fictive, this did happen in the USA in 1884! The Butchers are still active, so better watch your back! @C2 Note2: Who believed the NOTE is a dweep!
