BRiTT-NELsoN FIGHT

One of the chief defects of motion pictures has always been the fact that they are extremely trying to the eyes the continuous movement, the frequent cross-flashes of light, and the occa. sional blurs combining to produce an effect which cannot fail to injure and pain the eye. The Britt-Nelson fight pictures. which represent the acme and climax of photographic skill. are sin gularly free from all these defects This, perhaps, is owing partly to the clearness of the California sky, and partly to the skill of the operators but the fact remains that these boxing pictures are the cleverest ever shown at any theatre, and come as close tC perfection Gs the cleverest photogra pher could ask.

LAND FRAUD CASE
 EXTEND TO ARIZONA
Investigation by Detectives Has Resulted in Prose-
 CUtiOD
(Phoenix Enternrise.l ]

Before Attorney General Moody gets through with the prosecution of land fraud cases in Arizona it is probable that the litigation will become equal. ly famous with that in Oregon, which has stirred the whole nation. On the same day that the case against Hyde, Benson and Sheriff Wills of Pinal county was filed in Phoenix, five other cases were filed in different courts of Arizona. It appears now that the action begun has resulted from a thorough investi- gation made by secret detectives, who are well posted in the land business. It is said they spent some time in Ari- zona looking up evidence.
 In each of the cases filed Frederick 4. Hyde and John 4. Benson are made dhe defendants with different indi- viduals in Arizona. It is not claimed that the Arizonans are guilty of fraud, but are of necessity made defendants. They bought the land from Benson and Hyde in good faith.
 Each complaint asks that the courts set aside patents on ranches in Arizo- na, which were purchased from scrip held by Attorneys Hereford & Hazard of Tucson. This the attorneys had bought in good faith from Hyde, Ben son, ct al.
 In some instances the owners of the land learned that an action was about to be brought against them to restore their property to the public domain, and transferred it so that the names of the real owners could not be insert ed in the complaints filed by the attor- neygeneTal.
 Three of the ranches. which it is sought to restore to the public domain, are in Apache county, while another in Cicinono county is the property of Gustave Reimer, northern Arizona sheep baron. Suits to recover these four parcels were instituted at Pres colt.
 Another ranch, which the govern ment is seeking to recover is the prop erty of Sheriff Thomas N. Wills of Pinal county, and suit has been insti- tuted in the United States court at Phoenix. The sixth parcel is the property of George W. Wells of Clifton and is located in Graham county. Suit to recover this land has been institut- ed at Globe, the headquarters of the United States court for that district. The land surrendered by Hyde, Ben. son and their associates in lieu of these lands was located on the Sierra San Jacinto and Zaca Lake forest re | serves in California and the Cascade range forest reserve in Oregon.
 At least a dozen other valuable ranches in Arizona have been taken up with scrip purchased from Hyde and his associates through their attor neys at Tucson, who for several year: did large business in scrip.
 In many cases the patents have nevel been approved. The first entry wa! made in the Tucson land office il April, 1900 William J. Burns anC 1 A. B. Pugh, secret service men, whc
 made a speciality of land frauds, in vesJigated the Arizona entries som time ago and the suits filed by the al torney-general are believed to be tn
 result of the labors in the Arizon field.
