This may not be an original idea put forth here; it is almost impossible to remember everything that I have heard and read about "Vic and Sade" throughout the time I have been following the show as closely as I have. There's a good chance I am either repeating the thoughts of Paul Rhymer (from a magazine or newspaper article), from a member of "The Friends of Vic and Sade" or I could have read it on a forum somewhere in the last six years. However, I think it is an original idea. And it really is as simple as adding one and one together for the informed fan.
Though we have little to go by, there seems to be no doubt that the engineers of the Chicago-Alton Railway had it in for the bachelors at the Bright Kentucky Hotel. One reason we know this can found in the article here.
And who is the one guy on the show that "has it in" for Mr. Gumpox (and Howard)? That's right kids, Mr. Donahue the Chicago-Alton Railway engineer. I am quite certain a story is missing where we find out Mr. Gumpox (or Howard) has committed some other atrocity against Mr. Donahue and in doing so, has riled him up so much that he gets the whole gang of engineers to terrorize the Bright Kentucky whenever they fly past.

Dead horses
Paul Rhymer spent a considerable amount of time writing about horses on Vic and Sade.
Did you realize Mr. Gumpox had at least three different garbage wagon horses die (Bernice, Cecil and Margaret Evelyn)?

Mr. Gumpox - the baker?
Do you remember the 1935 episode (notes from Barbara Schwarz, only) where Vic comes home and needs his lodge robe? The fact is, it has been hidden from Vic. Mr. Gumpox borrowed it for a masquerade party and returned it secretly with a raspberry pie and a thank you card.
Raspberry pie is an unusual pie; that is to say, it's an unlikely pie for a man in 1935 to make, I would think.
The point I am making is that Mr. Gumpox must have been an extraordinary baker to be able to whip out a raspberry pie.

Stories of Gumpox and Rishigan Fishigan often confused
EVEN IN THE METICULOUS NOTES, stories about Mr. Gumpox and Rishigan Fishigan are often reversed.
Why this is is beyond my knowledge. I can see how they could be confused but even information from AUDIO episodes is somehow confused - so I know there was a confusion somewhere.
For instance, there is a story told by Clarence Hartzell - who when the stories were recorded, must have been close to 80 years old - seems to confuse Gumpox and Rishigan Fishigan, when he tells about a bed hopping across the floor when a long train went by - the longer the train, the farther the bed went.
This story is actually about Rish Fish but Hartzell audibly told it as a Gumpox story.
And some Hank Gutstop stories are attributed to Gumpox, even though they are from audio episodes.
Examine the notes I was given:
This is not a knock on the notes, as I am VERY appreciative of them! But I am just pointing out that this much information is hard to keep track of (trust me, you would not believe how hard it is.)

All red info is wrong and is really Hank Gutstop's info |
