Inside the former station’s main room, three lamps glowed bright- ly, two from the mantel above the huge fireplace and another from back of the short bar the squawman had built. There was a fire in the fireplace tonight, not because of the cold bute because Black Jack Caswell preferred his coffee that way. Ro Rundert stared moodily into the small fire from his position by the mantel. Dutch Saunders ate noisily from a plate of fresh beef brought by Buck- ner’s Assiniboine squaw, and a half-dozen riders lounged about, drinking whiskey and taking life easy. Caswell looked at Rundert and chuckled complacently. “Ye look sorta low, Ro,” he observed. Rundert shifted his position to the other hip and grunted. “Can't Est that gent out of my mind,” admitted. “He plugged McBain cold on the train. Mack got on about seven or eight miles from | Carson’s place. Must have had AP Newsteatures. something to report. I reckon, for he signalled me. Then he spots : this Edmonds gent and goes for his gun. Edmonds plugged him cold. You réckon Ramson was fod apt of me all along and had him aboard that train as a sort of bodyguard to see that nothing happened to the girls?” “Ye talk like a younker,” Black Jack grinned. “If he’d a suspected anything of the like you'd have been dead by now—shot without warning.” “Talk, talk, talk,” cut in the Dutchman’s voice from the small table where he sat alone. “Vy you all don’t shut up?” “Why don’t you shut up. Dutch- ie?” chuckled Black Jack. “Ro is plumb worried.” Buckner moved over by the fireplace, the flames showing up the gray streaks in his coarse. once black hair. “T’ve been thinking,” he said. “Naw!” ejaculated Caswell. “I know who your man_is.” “Vell?” demanded the Dutch- man. Head Football Coach Beckman Addresses Rotary By DOROTHY RAYMER Head Coach Ed Beckman of the Key West High School football team and Line Coach Paul Davis were the guest speakers at the luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club Thurs- day shortly after noon when the organization met at St. Paul’s parish hall. In giving the over-all picture of the squad for the coming sea- son, Coach Beckman said ‘‘We are trying to do a good job. There is an education in football which teaches the boys to play to win and how to lose if necessary,” He also said that it was necessary to educate “‘the people” in football too, since it is a green game for ‘BY WILLIAM: HOPSON “I saw him that t last fall. He gets plugged and Carson packs him out; shot all to pieces. He was heading for King Ramson’s ranch. He was coming back to take over the job he was hired to do last fall—wipe you out. That’s your man, and, Ro, you're mighty stupid not to have known it before now.” Bact were staring at him and it was quiet in the room. Run- pest nce was hard, Eokeoot The ice broke in a single whisper: “Montana! So that’s who it. was!

The new owner of what once had been King Ramson’s vast domain looked up coldly. “For an Easterner, you're not doing too bad,” Rundert said. “Somehow, Ro,” Belle said, “I guess I'm not too ised at you turning renegade. But it still seems a little far-fetched. Always the player for big stakes, eh?’ “How are you li grunted, ignoring the jil “As well as could be expected considering the rough treatment we've had.

Leskosky, 36, is suing U.S. Mail truck contractors and their driver, Calvin Harston White for $125,000 because he charges he lost his left arm in an accident with White on June 14. The suit was filed at 11:45 a.m. Friday by attorneys Wm. R. Neb lett and Robert C. Youmans in the office of County Clerk Earl Adams They demand a trial by jury. Leskosky names Charles James Faulkner and his wife Agnes Mae who have a contract with the U.S. Post Office department to carry U. S. Mail from Miami to Key West as well as Calvin White their driver. On the morning of June 14, at 5 o'clock, Leskosky, a refrigerator mechanic at the U.S. Naval hos- pital was driving his Dodge north on Big Pine Key. He charges that White “negligently, carelessly and recklessly drove and operated” his truck south. “upon and against Leskosky’s automobile.” As a direct result of “said neg- ligence” Leskosky suffered, he charges, ‘‘a rending, tearing and mutiliating of the left arm and shoulder of such a violent nature that the said left arm of the Plaintiff became so cut, crushed and mutilated as to render ampu- tation neces: and the same was thereafter amputated.” Leskosky also suffered a severe and intense nervous shock, his attorneys said, and had to be con- fined to the hospital for several months, preventing him from working. Attorneys charge that he has lasting and permanent injuries which render him “permanently disabled and disfigured” so that he cannot pursue his usual occupa- tion of refrigeration and air con- ditioning mechanic. He has lost, the suit continues, and will be deprived of “divers great gains and profits which he would other- wise have made and acquired.” Leskosky is also suing for the damage to his car, stating that he will now have to pay a “greatly increased premium for \iability insurance” because of bis loss of arm, and that he will no longer be able to drive cars with con- ventional gear shifts. All his cars, attorneys state, will have te be equipped with automatic gear shifts At the time of the accident The Citizen reported that White was USS Gilmore, W.
