"NUMBER ONE"


SYNOPSIS the late sum-
ner Of 1875, Peter Dinsda1e, on
his way to the Black hills to
ioin the throng of gold-seekers,
makes the acquaintance of the
keeper of a Dead wood gambling
house. San Juan Joe, who Is re-
turning to Deadwood. On their
way through Rcd Canyon Dins-
date and Joe hear shots, appar-
entity far ahead Of them. Riding
woman running from a party of
Indians. Dinsdale takes her on
his horse and the two men ride
through her pursuers, killing
several. The girl Is Lottie Carl,
and she has no relatives. Near
Deadwood they overtake pros
pector whom Joe halls as old
Iron Pyrites." At Deadwood
City San Juan Joe, popular in the
community, is given an enthusi-
astic welcome, which is extended
to DinsdaIe. Dinsdale tells Joe
of the robbery Of Union Pacific
train at Ogalala, and the gambler
informs the crowd. Joe takes
DinsdaIe and Lottie to the house
Of a woman of the town, Kitty
the Schemer, Joe's mistress,
where the gambler had intended
to install Lottie. Dinsdale re-
fuses to allow 1t, and after a
somewhat bitter quarrel he
leaves, taking Lottie to house
where she will be safeguarded,
and finding other lodgings for
himself. Dinsdale saves an APP
parently half witted individual,
known as Scissors, from mis-
treatment at the hands of bad
man." Bandy Allen, who vows
vengeance on Dinsdale. Some
days later Dinsdale again meets
Scissors, whose nickname Is de-
rived from his ability to cut,
with paper and scissors, remark
able likenesses of persons, or
anything that strikes his fancy.
Dinsdale takes to him.

him. The quartette flashed their hawk
gaze over the unaccustomed sight Of
paper money, and French Curly's
bloodless lips drew back like a fam
ished animals.
There's three thousand in that
heap. Call it table stakes and make
it BRIEF" said Dinsdale
The four nodded their approval and
reinforced their table cash. No fur
Their talk was INDUCED in, pantomime
and chips suff1cing. Dinsdale played
winner at the first, then began to meet
with reverses. French Curly's lips
became fixed In a snarl Of triumph as
the greenbacks began their travels,
and his breath became choked and dis
agreeable to hear. At midnight the
last Of Dinsdale's table stakes were
swept away by Curly.

hunting for a big game. His good ma

on the surface and tapering away to
nothing underneath. Every time he
gets back from trip he's crazy for

Maybe I'm feeling hungry for big

Pyrites darted a quick glance and
wrinkled his weather face in grin.

against their own money. Rather
rake in five dollars on pair of jacks
than to locate bonanza mine. Well,

don't like taking risks"
There wouldn't be any Deadwood
City IL it wasn't for a mans love of
risks lightly responded Dinsdale.
He passed under the canvas flap
and through the narrow door There
was long hall with several doors on
each side. No voices were to be
heard-gold dust was doing all the
talking. AS Dinsdale stood irresolute
a Chinaman emerged from a door at
the end ofsthe hail. carrying tray Of
i glasses. On discovering Dinsdale he
glided forward, his stolid face de-
handing the intruder's business. Dins-
dale found pencil and paper In his
pocket and wrote:
"Im laundering for action"
Signing it, he directed the servant
to give it to San Juan. The Chinaman
entered room on the left and closed
the door behind him. Fully minute
passed-then the servant reappeared
and beckoned for Dinsdale to ap-
proach.

shook hands coldly. He was no long

Dinsdale with a few laconic words.

"We'll try to accommodate you.

Dinsdale:
"We're PLAYING a bit stiff"; and he
pulled up chair for him.
