Axonville.
   "La Poudre aux Yeux" (Giddap Joe) p. 99-130 in Cap'tain

   into Axonville, and the town appears deserted. The men of
   the town are waiting in ambush, however, and Giddap soon
   has a noose around his neck and is headed for a lynching.
   Then a little girl, Julie Copping, cries out that Joe is
   her friend, and the townspeople relent. They had thought
   that Joe was part of a gang chasing Jim and Rose Copping,
   Julie's parents. Julie gives Joe the map to her father's
   gold strike. Joe decides he'd better go help his old friend
   Jim, so he thanks the townspeople for the loan of the
   necktie, takes it off, and prepares to leave. Before he can
   start, Lou Marks knocks him down and steals the map. In
   flashback, we learn that after Copping found the gold, the
   crooked sheriff of the town of Garriot has tried to steal
   his claim. Copping had shot "sheriff" Kaye in the arm, and
   Copping had spent three years in jail for it. Upon his
   release, Kaye was waiting with to cronies to continue the
   pursuit of Copping's gold. In the present, Loe Marks
   volunteers to join Giddap Joe as he rides out to find the
   Coppings. Marks is sure that Joe didn't see him when he
   stole the map. In the mountains, Rose Copping's horse is
   frightened by a rattlesnake, and she falls to the ground
   and is threatened by the snake. She wants Jim to shoot the
   snake, but he is sure that the sound of the shot would
   bring Kaye and his men straight to them. He lassos the
   snake neatly around its "neck" and throws it aside. Rose's
   horse's leg is broken, and Jim won't shoot it for the same
   reason, but Rose shoots it out of compassion. Sure enough,
   the couple is captured in a trice and threats to Rose soon
   elicit another map from Jim. At the entry to the cave where
   the gold is, Kaye stops and sends one of his men in to
   check the truth of Copping's story. The man doesn't come
   out, so Kaye sends another man in. Giddap Joe and Lou Marks
   (Lou having had a change of heart) were waiting inside the
   cave and have overpowered the two men. Joe then steps out
   of the cave and arrests Kaye. -- Call no.:
