Ii Hung Chang, the most conspicuous
Chinese Of the age. is often called the
richest man in the world. One way in
which Ii for many years made an
enormous sum of money was to use
thousands of soldiers in his own pri-
vate enterprises without paying them
cent for their labor. In the course of
time he purchased extensive estates in
the rice-growing regions and raised
more bushels of rice every year than
the bonanza farmers of North Dakota
used to raise of wheat. He got his
labor for nothing, and his great crop
OF rice was almost clear profit. He
simply turned his soldiers loose in the
RICE fields, and they had to be content
with the rations and the miserable pit
lance paid to them by the government

contractor for army supplies. He

Tom held up a train slnglebanded and
In the sequel to this was wounded and
captured.
1t was the Colorado Southern express
that Tom held up. The place selected
was near Folsom, on the northeast
corner OF New Mexico. One night as
the express was putting laborlously up
grade the engineer saw u light ahead
giving the signal TO stop. When the
train slowed down Tom Ketchum
jumped into the cab and, carelesSly
swinging 40 Colt near the engineers
nose, told him to obey all orders given
during tire next few minutes. This
| Tom said, would save heartuches In the
engineers home and the intrusion Of an

he jumped off and tried to uncouple the
engine, which was made impossible by
the steep grade. Failing in this, Tom

and pOked the muzzla OF u Winchester

night. Just how badly Tom was shot
