DRY BONES
Dry Bones is a small hamlet of 100 or so people, many of whom are transient.
They had an “elected Town Marshal” named Bad Jim Fuchs who ran the place and owned the run-down saloon (called Bones and Shells, since it is in Dry Bones and also sells bullets). However, Fuchs was killed in a gunfight with a sheriff's posse in early October 1876. A creepy stranger named Steve Feratu stepped forward and bought “Bones and Shells” and renamed it “Red Delight”, threw a bunch of money around and became the “Mayor” of Dry Bones.
There is also a business called “Lira Assay” run by Jose Lira which buys various minerals and ores that are brought in by prospectors from the mountains and deserts there abouts. Jose holds a grudge against the county sheriff as a result of some unwarranted abuse at his hands.
“Mirabell's Trading Post” buys and sells used goods. There is a 1 in 4 chance that they'll have what you want, they sell for 1/2 retail price and buy almost anything for 1/4 retail price. Things bought at Mirabell's have a 1 in 8 chance of failing the first time it counts.
The remaining 20 buildings are shacks and slap-dash houses, many of which will rent a room and sell a dinner of beans and biscuits. The inhabitants are generally drifters, outlaws and prospectors.
