, Gentleman" Geoff, proprietor Of
the Blue Chip, general store and
gambling hall in the Mexican oil
boom town of Limasito, we'll merits
the sobriquet by which he is known.
Though none is more deadly with
his gun than Geoff, none quicker on
the trigger when occasion for shoot
ing arises, he still bears, beneath his
rough exterior, evidences of gentler
breeding and even of college culture.
His personal history, however, is a
matter unknown to the oil men, to
the gamblers, to the prospectors and
to the adventures who have flocked
to the Mexican town with the first
news of the discovery of oil.
Here, alone so far as family is
concerned, except for Billie, his
young and beautiful daughter, Gen
tleman" Geoff is the most prominent
figure in the community. Billie
herself, however, because of her
beauty. her youth, her fearlessness
and her independence, is, in her own
way, no less prominent than her
father
Representatives of two great COM
petiting oil corporations have come
to Limasito not alone to gain control
of the field but, also, to seek the
mysterious pool of Lost Souls" re-
puted among the natives to be the
very heart of the great natural oil
reservoir. Only Tia Juana knows
the secret of the pools location.
This, she has Informed Billie. is
disclosed in a map contained in a
red glove. But Tia Juana has not
yet divulged to Billie the hiding
place Of the glove.
Kern Thode and Starr Wiley, rep
resentatives of the rival oil COM
panies. are no less interested in Tia
Juana's secret than Billie. 1t is in
Thode, however, rather than in
Wiley that Billie's interest centers.
She feels an instructive dislike for
Wiley. And this, as circumstances
prove, is we'll justified, for Wiley
does not hesitate to stoop to foul
means in his quest for the myster-
ious pool. Fearful that Thode, his
junior and thoroughly trustworthy,
may defeat him in the search, Wiley
has resorted to employment of the
Vulture, chief of band of brigands

KATLEMAN WILL
ASK new TRIAL..
IS OUT ON BOND
Business Man, Convicted Of
Being "Higher.Up' in Auto
Stealing Operations, May
Appeal to Supreme Court.

Ben Baker, attorney for Maurice
Katleman, convicted Monday i'll
district court of being a higher
up" in automobile stealing opera
tons in Omaha stated yesterday that
he will file a motion for a new trial
within a day or two.
1--WE have plenty of reasons on
which to base the notion" said
Judge Baker. THE verdict of the
jury was surprise to me"
Such motions are seldom granted,
it is said If this one is not, Judge
Redick will sentence Katleman. The
term provided by statute for the
crime of which he has been found
guilty is one to seven years in the

Katleman is out on bond and will

and of the outlaws who consort withe

anu OF the outlaws VINO COnSOrt with
him.
Billie, suspecting Wiley of con-
spring with the Vulture,, confronts
the oil magnate in the Blue Chip.
She is prevented, however, from
pressing home her charges by
Wiley's sudden change of front. The
veneer of polish drops quickly from
his manner and he seizes the girl.
Quickly her hand slips to the revol-
yer that hangs at her waist and,
skulkingly, cowed not only by
Billie's vigorous display of her own
ability to defend herself, but by the
approach of "Gentleman" Geoff and
Thode. he steals away into the dark
ness of the night.
Stung by his momentary defeat.
Wiley calls upon the Vulture and
his outlaws to raid Limasito. Word
of their coming precedes them long
enough to enable the men and wo-
men of the village to seek refuge in
"Gentleman" Geoff's Blue Chip.
There they prepare to resist the
brigand's attack.
With the arrival of the Vulture
and his band a terrific battle ensues.
The huge portals of the structure
hold firm, however, in the face of
the mad rushes of the outlaws and
it is not until the Vulture orders a
battering ram brought against the
heavy oak doors of the Blue Chip
that the defenders feel they are
doomed.
Billie fights side by side with her
father. Thode, defending the strong
hold with the rest, suddenly con-
ceives the plan OF making a dash
through rear door and, cutting and
shooting his way through the ranks
OF the bandits, of riding to summon
aid. With this end in mind, he slips
out into the night. Almost at the
same instant, bullet finds its mark
in the body of Gentleman" Geoff,
and he sinks into the arms OF Billie.
Meanwhile the battering ram still
assails the door. Before each crush
ing blow, the heavy timbers groan
and the great hinges and bolts give
bit by bit. A few more lunges of
the ram and the Vulture and his
band will beat down the barrier. Will
it hold until Thode returns with aid:
If it gives way, what new catas-
trophe awaits the brave girl who
pillows in her lap the head of the
stricken "Gentleman" Geoff:

that he would shoot the first man who
tried to make an entrance.
He and a special police officer, sup
posed to have brought by the Male
able officials from Chicago in the
guise Of a workman, conferred about
the strike-breakers leaving the build
ing, and was told that they were
ready to go if provided protection.
Dave Morrison, one of the defend
ants, said, according to Coleman, that
he was head Of the mob, when the
question was asked by the special pO-
lice officer. Morrison was then asked
to come into the building, and said to
Coleman and others present, that he
could insure safe exit for the men, as
he was head Of the mob, and if he
told them to let the men alone moth
ing would be done.
1t was al this time, said Coleman
that Morrison stepped to the door and
said
Cut it out boys, they are going to
take the men away"
Saw Hartman in Mob.
McNally also testified that Morri-
son had told him he had influence
with the crowd. He stated that Morri-
son said he was a friend OF the boys
and could keep them out of trouble
while the police were taking the men
to the station. McNally further testi-
fled that the crowd following the men
to the station was very noisy one,
yelling "scab" and other epithets.
The witness said that he saw Boom

| IN the evening when the officers first
went down and that Hartman, with
whom they were talking, said, in eff

and Carl Davis. IS. three boys who
pleaded not guilty when arraigned the
first time, but who later changed their
plea to guilty, were the other three
witnesses introduced by the state
Thursday afternoon.
Yost testified that he did not get
down to the scene of the riot until
after the attack on the core-room had
been made, and that he was standing
with his parents looking on. Some
hand, he said, handed him a message
to deliver as he was in the uniform
OF a telegraph messenger.
He testified that he did not throw
anything while at the riot and that he
changed his plea to guilty merely be-
cause he thought that anyone who was
down there should plead guilty.
Young Toney made contradictory
statements. He stated that he plead
ed guilty because he was told to, but
that he did not throw any stones. The
prosecutor then asked him if he did
not testify before the grand jury that
he did throw a stone, and read ex-
cerpts of the grand jurys report
showing that Toney admitted throw.

Carl Davis, who pleaded guilty to
rieting, was the last witness.
He testified that Hartman said:
