himself, capture some rich travellers,
carrying them off to the cave of Enter,
compelling them to send a note to friends
for their ransom $4,000. Carter tracks
the highwaymen, enters the cave and is
seized by the Zigomar band, judged and
condemned by Zigomar. The scene is
weird in the extreme, the dark caver-
nous space of the cave being illuminated
by Pickering torches which throw ftful
lights on the group assembled there.
Carter is condemned to be slowly crushed
to death by a huge rock which is low
cred over his PROSTATE form. At this
moment Olga rushes in and holding a
flaming torch over barrel of gun pow
der warns the band back while she
liberates Carter and the pair makes
their escape.
Representing himself as one of the
band Nick follows Zigomar to an opium
den. This episode provides us with
some clever trick effects showing an
opium smokers dreams. Thinking him
self at last certain of his prey he pounces
upon stupifed smoker and is aston
ished to discover that there are two
Zigomars. He has to make a tremen
dous fight for his liberty but succeeds
in escaping and is pursued on the open
sea by Zigomar who eventually gives up
the chase.
The robber next visits the castle Of
Trunelles and EFFORTS 5000 promising
to come again. Follows a furious and
exciting motor chase along the road
which ends unhappily in the capture OF
Nick and Olga by Zigomar and his band.
They are bound and confined IN a rough
shed, little fire burning in the CRATE.
With heroic fortitude Nick holds his
wrists above the flames and burning the
cords gains his freedom. 1t Is the work
OF a few moments to set his companion
at liberty and then they break thro the
wall OF straw and laths and make their
escape and set the straw on fire. Cap
turing two horses they mount and gallop
off, The band attracted by the fire
rush in and discover tie escape OF their
prisoners. A hunt is set up in which
the whole band joins.
Nick and Olga are parted by herd OF
wild bulls dashing across the lake.
Nick makes good his escape but Olga is
pursued 10y one Of the women of the
band to the seashore and there, spring
ing from her horse, runs along the shore
the other women pursuing. They strug-
gle on the rocks and Olga breaking free
plunges into the waves. The other fol-
lows. There is water battle and Olga
is eventually overpowered and pulled
ashore to where Zigomar stands watch
ing. She is bound, tied to the tail OF
horse and cruelty dragged over the
rough country, being eventually rescued
bruised and broken, by the peasants.
Carter finds her in peasant home.
He issues from there the false iniorma-
ton OF his death. Zigomar and his
band read the news and are celebrating
the victory when Nick and his followers
break upon them and capture the re-.
doubtable robber and his female ac-
complete. His inspection before the
police ends in his pretending to faint.
The woman offers smelling salts which
are in reality poison. Zigomar drinks it
of and ilinging defiance to Nick at the
very last expires ending his life as
dramatically as he lived it.

SYNOPSIS OF "zIGoMAR VI. NICK CARTER"

Zlgomhr was wonderfully preserved
from the explosion which it was thought
had ended his career. On recovering
his first thought is to avenge himself on
Paul Broquet, who had pursued him
with such persistence. Standing amidst
the runs OF his former retreat, he VOWS
vengeance. His first act is to disguise
himself as a woodseller and gains access
to the house Of the detective In the
woods he delivers is secreted an explo-
sion. Broquet gives instructions for his
fire to be lighted; there is terrific ex
plosion and the detective is mortally in
jured. The dying man sends for Nick
Carter to whom he intrusts the pursuit
Of Zigomar.
Zigomar learns OF the visit and lays a
trap for Carter as he leaves Broquet's
house. Some Of his band concealed as
porters attack Nick and fling him over
the bannisters. To make assurance dou-
bly, sure the gang drop piano down
over the detective. He saves himself by
clutching in his fall some OF the rails
Then by some clever quick change
works the gang disguise themselves as
peaceable residents Of the house and
thus elude the detective who comes
rushing up to capture them. Carter
discovers satchel dropped by the gang
and finds therein a card bearing the
name Of Olga Leontier.
He visits the woman and succeeds in
gaining information and her collabora-
ton in the pursuit Of Zigomar. He
learns that Zigomar runs gambling
house, plans and carries out raid on
it. He sees the gamblers; and then at
the warning Of the approach OF Carter
they jump up and run into side-rooms
to put on DISCUSSES and while they are
there, chairs, tables, music stands and
other furniture and fittings go through
some amazing evolutions on their own.
Not = soul is visible and yet all the fur
niture is moving about under some ap-
parently miraculous agency.
When Nick Carter and his crew burst
in they discover number Of respectable
citizens enjoying concert. Not to be
beaten Carter retires, captures the door
keeper and putting on a disguise him
self, changes into the door-keepers
clothing. Then single handed he at
tempts the capture of Zigomar in the
gambling den which has now resumed
its usual appearance. There is fierce
atruugla and Zionmar accapas Ituonnr
now causes one OF his gang to make up
like himself and as the two appear side
by side it is difficult to say which is
which.
On April End Zigomar robs AMEN
House. He gains access as a conjuror
and performs some wonderful tricks to
an admiring audience. At the agreed
moment his sccomplice, the electrician,
puts the place in darkness and Carter
disguised as one Of the visitors SEXES
and endeavors to capture Zigomar. The
criminal however once more escapes.
This occurs on April 2nd and at the
same time a robbery is carried out at
Marseilles at the house of rich jeweler.
A mechanical device photographs the
thief who disturbed, jumps out OF the
window into his motor and makes his
escape. Nick Carter is astounded to
receive photograph Of Zigomar, the
Marsellles thief, when on that very even
ing he himself had his hands on Zigo.

SPEED KING

In a mad dash through the mud
after Manuel Menderez. bootlegger,
Claude Hedrick of the local fire de-
partment, qualified for the Olympic
marathon this afternoon. More than
that, he caught Menderez.
MendereZ was given a sixty day
sentence for bootlegging yesterday
and has since been in confinement in
the city jail. This afternoon he was
assigned to duty with the coal scut-
tie carrying out ashes. With a dou-
BILE load of smoking cinders the Mex
lean went out in the road and, see
ing that he had lead of nine and
three-quarters feet, he dropped the
ashes and scurried down the street
through the mud.
Claude Hedrick was watching the
greaser and started in hot pursuit.
1t took all the rest of the fire de-
partment to time the two as they hit
il up toward Patton's corral but The
Sentinel has it on good authority
that they covered the first hundred
yards in 6 seconds fiat. At the cor
raj Hedrick caught up with the Mex
and with a left jab to the collar but
ton, brought down his prey. With
the help of Assistant Chief George
Bowen Hedrick brought Menderez
back and he is again confined in dur
ance vile.
