, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1955 i i l i lit i>i <i i EL DIABLO S WHITE HAT By Williom L. Roper OLD Vince Hammerman’s crafty eyes studied the thin, freckled face of the young man over the top of the roll-top desk. Pointing out of the ranch house window at the cattle in the corral, said: "All you . got to do, Jimmy, is drive ’em across the Rio Grande, and Jeave a few scattered along the way so the range dicks can find ’em." Jimmy Shinn blinked his pale blue eyes and nodded. "You want the insurance?” “If the Cattlemen’s Protective Association don’t get suspicious, they’ll pay off. Anyway you can't. ’ lose. I’ll give you two hundred in advance." r .r “No, Mr Hammerman,” Jimmy protested, frowning. "Rustling is ~a serious offense and —” "Si, Seizor,” Hammerman broke in, "and 'so ’is murder.”- . Jimmy Shinn’s thin face twitched "What murder?” he said hoarsely. “What ipurder?” Hammerman mocked. “You know what I’m talk ing about. I suspected you was on the hoot owl trail when I hired you to cowpoke. You had that hunted look. checking, found out .about your trouble down in Duvall County, Texas." Hammerman paused, licked his thick lips. "But, jim my, I don’t waftt tp have to notify the sheriff.” “I didn’t mu.dsr nobody,” Jinv my safd. "I shot a Igunslinger in self-defense.” "Yeah, in self-defense.” _ Hank, merman echoed sarcastically. "Well, Jimmy, it's up to you.” For a minute the young Texan glared defiantly tat the old'man. Then he slowly, nodded. "You win. Hammerman. When do you want the job done?”., J ‘Tonight.” Hammerman’s coarse face seemed to relax. Getting up from his chair, he crossed the room and fished a white sombrero from a wardrobe closet. He hand ed the hat to the cowboy. “You vs heard about Cl Diablo, the king of New' Mexico rustlers,” he said.

'"So the range detectives will find.it?” “St, Senbr,” Hammerman winked slyly, "It will convince the range dicks that the rustling v/as the real thing. Savvy?” After the door had slammed be hind Jimmy Shinn. Hammerman took a freshly printed poster from a desk drawer and read it again. "Five thousand dollars for El Diablb, ‘dead or alive,” he said, chuckling to himself. "Well, Jim my isn’t as old as El Diablo but he’ll do.” Hammerman continued to grin while he oiled his Winchester and * attached a telescopic sight to. the barrel. That white hat would mak ,a good target in the moonlight On the following day, old Vince Hammerman rode out on the trail with the two range detectives and a posse headed by Sheriff Tim Gal loway, ’t was an easy trail to fol low and they hqd not gone far be fore they found a white sombrero .lodged in a mesquite bush. > "A good imitation of El Diablo’s if it isn’t the real thing,” the sheriff said, inspecting it closely. "Even got a bullet hole in the crown.” He ■- as starting ig hand it to >ne of ’ the range detectives when a-, folded note slid from the Sweat band. _ “Stick ybur hands out, Vince,” he said suddenly, and Hammerman seeing the lawman’s gun pointing at l'.ipa, meekly complied. When lie handcuffs had clicked on Ham nip rjnan’s wrists. Sheriff Gallo way read the note. “To whom it may concern: Old i Vince Hammerman paid me S2OO to pull a fake rustling so- he could i claim insurance. He also tried to it ill me, putting a hole through the top of this hat. There was only 20 cows in the corral.
