Blagdon told her, Come here. Youve got to see these videos, she said.

Both looked at the newspapers video from inside the White Horse space, where Mitchell had set up six barstools found in the Pawnee around where the bar used to be.

I said, Oh, my gosh, thats one of the stools from the White Horse, Shepherd said.

Soon afterward, Mitchell who was in California at the time was meeting with his North Platte team via FaceTime when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the hotels east door.

It was Shepherd with Blagdon and house manager Bryan Solko, bearing the barstool hidden under a white cloth and tied with a red ribbon.

Mitchell watched online as his colleagues unwrapped the barstool, leaving them missing only one of the White Horses eight originals.

I was pretty shocked to see a seventh White Horse Bar original stool, he said Monday. That was a great, great find.
