COTTON, June GA piece of realty
development work. of immense lmpor-
tance to the people of Cotton and this
entire section Is that which is about to
be undertaken by Seth Hartley of TINS
city, who this week took an option on
1900 acres of land at Bloomington, four
miles west of this city.
The land. which has been owned by
Norton e. Hay, is one of the most de-
sirable tracts of undeveloped land re-
manning in Southern California, the
former owners having refused to part
with the property except as whole.
The tract begins within 200 yards OF
the Bloomington depot and stretches
west for two miles ON both sides of the
Southern Pacific track. 1t is said to be
as level and as fertile a piece of land as
lies outdoors, and it waits only the
touch of water.
The price to be paid by Hartley is
$42. so per acre, a total of $68,OOO.
He will Immediately subdivide the
land into ten-acre tracts, liberal allow
ance being made for streets and ave-
nues. Eucalyptus trees will also be
planted around each piece, and every
effort will be made to make 1t an at
tractive proposition to the home seekers
to whom the land will be sold on in
stallments.
AS to the question OF water, Mhlch
is, after all, of prime importance, Hart
ley declares that the new tract has
great advantages. If thought desira bic,
the water can be bought from estab-
lished companies in that section, or IT
can be developed on the tract itself, but
the plan looked upon with most favor is
to develop the water at the Rainey
ranch, where it can be secured IN large
quantities, and thence pipe 1t distance
of only little over three miles to the
land. Hartley figures that this water
development will cost about $30,000 and
will insure a plentiful and permanent

lap. He was grooming and crying OUT
TO the soldiers to kill him rather than
permit him to fall into the hands Of the
natives again.
Suddenly there was a great commO-
ton and crashing Of timbers in the
front part Of the church, followed by
shouts and the rushing Of feet. Gray
don dropped from his perch and ran
forth into the chancel. As he did so
the banging of rifles close az hand
deafcned him. In an instant he saw
what had happened. The Filipinos
had charged the door and had forced
1t. They were cr9wding their way
into the church in the face of n
deadly Krag-Jorgensens. The chapel
was lighted. but not from the inside.
Cunning insurgents in the shelter OF
the walls were holding great torches
Just outside Of the windows. Graydon
could see his comrades firing at the
door from behind every conceivable
barrier. Without hesitation he dashed
down the aisle and into the thick OF
the fray near the door.
The struggle was brief but fierce.
The merciless fire of many Mausers on
the outside opened a way through the
small band Of defenders, and the rush
Of the hesiegers was successful.
Through the door and windows they
came, swarming like bees. Many Of
them fell to rise no more, but their
comrades took an eye for an eye.
Once confident soldiers toppied over
dead until but few were left. Banse-
mel led them in a quick dash for the
chancel, hoping that the enemy would
not dare attack a place so sacred.
Captain Groce and other officers had
fallen. Cornell became the leader Of
the remnant. Bansemer stood squarely
in front of the altar and blazed away
at the horde Of Filipinos as they adj
vanced. They shot at him wildly and
without effect. Bullets crashed into
the altar decorations behind him. He
stood there as one protected by God,
unframed in the shelter of the cross.
Behind him his comrades covered
and cursed in their dread OF certain
death. He heard the shrill cries of the
girl urging him to protect her brother.
She was calling upon God and the
Holy Virgin to aid and shield him.
And he stood there with a crazy joy
in his heart, savagely pulling the trig-
ger of the Krag-Jorgensen. Finally
the hammer snapped with no report
As he turned back in CONSERVATION a
small figure leaped to his side with a
fresh weapon.
He shouted a word Of warning to
her and wheeled again to confront the
foe. Even as he raised the gun a great
shout arose above the noise Of con-
fict. There was a mighty rush, a new
banging of guns, a sudden stampede,
and-the chapel was filed with men in
' khaki!
