him Bert, then both mounted and
rode away, telling Gracia to follow
They reached the trail at point
about fifty yards in advance OF Bert
and Peaky was for shooting him
cold, but Craven stopped him and
posted him behind a rock at the side
of the trail. Craven crawled to the
top of the rock. AS Bert came up,
Peaky stepped out and commanded
him to. throw up his hands, covering
him with a revolver. Bert pretended
to comply, but instead he hurled the
club at Peaky and knocked the gun
from his hand. He leaped at the
outlaw and they closed in desperate
struggle Peaky backed Bert close
to the rock and Craven leaped uron
him from above, bearing him to the
ground. Overpowered, Bert was
forced to submit to being bound
again and a handkerchief was tied
across his mouth.
Calling Gracia, Craven had Bert
carried to Gracia's horse and thrown
across the saddle. He and Peaky
mounted, while Gracia led his own
horse carrying Bert. They arrived
at water tank on little ranch
which was filled by means of mill.
Craven ordered Peaky and Gracia
aloft to the tank, which stood on a
tower Attaching lariat to Bert
! the men took the other end of it UP
to the tank, then drew Bert up and
/ placed him in it, Then they climbed
down and, with Craven, rode away.
| There was only a small amount OF
water in the tank, but soon it began
I to fill as the windmill turned and be-
fore long Bert realized he must die
| by drowning He struggled to his
! feet The water was rising rapidly
and he sought for a means of escape
He saw a nail projecting through
the tank, and a great effort managed
to cut the handkerchief gag loose
from his face 1t fell to the water
and sank, floating toward the pipe
which carried water from the tank.
Bert tried to call for help, but was
