chased from one Denver firm, that Of
Dake & Keller, to whom Gillet is said
TO have given a mortgage of $20S, 600.
These cattle are three-year- steers.
and cattlemen assert low estimate Of
their present value is $50 a head. or
about $40 head more than the inter-
est in the cattle held by the Denver
firm. Another lot of cattle is about
$500 head, which Gnlet and another
dealer own in Oklahoma. These cattle
are said to be mortgaged for Sips, 900
and are said to be worth third more
than the amount against them.
A remarkable thing about Gillet's
methods of doing business was that he
kept no books, and took no one into
his confidence. All the details of his
enormous deals were carried in his
head. and this complexities matters
Gillet is described as a careless fnan-
cier and those who know him best now
say that sheer luck carried him
through many of his heaviest deals.
Many local stockmen declare that he
would not run away, even If he knew
his debts would wipe out his herds and
ranches, because he believes that luck
will always attend him. Nevertheless.
there was talk today that he had mort
gagged much of his cattle twice and

THE FATAL DEAL.
The deal that carried Giret to the
wall was S125,00O loan held by Kan
sas City live stock firm. The money
was advanced TO him on $500 head of
feeding cattle in Oklahoma, and the
mortgage fell due last week. The Kan
Sas City firm declined to extend the
loan. Gillet tried hard to get money,
but, for the first time in his career, he
was unable TO get backing. Close upon

had made with Vane & Gates, the
Arizona cattle magnates. Gillet had
paid $4,000 as earnest money on 1000
head Of cattle in the Pan Handle Of
Texas, which Vane & Gates owned in
the famous ia" ranch. These cattle
We're worth 10000, and Gillet was I'M
able to raise the money TO take them.
He saw his $4,000 go to buy a liability
for the loss 70 Vane & Gates
AS soon as il was learned here that
Gillet was being pressed by one or two
of his creditors, others sent their rep
reSentatives To his ranch to protect
their loans. Meanwhile, the plunger
took his leave. Eastern holders of
Ginets paper, which had passed
through the hands of the Kansas City
firms, began telegraphing, and today

NOVEL METHODS.
GiIlet's methods of operation were

punches, as many as 5000 in a bunch,
with borrowed money, secured by a

them 10 his Woodbine, Kan. ranch

were paid he would settle with the

were enormous
