fered his services to France and some
how got commission as a lieutenant
He did not have much chance to distin-
guish himself, but a year later he had
plenty of action. He was with Walker,
the great adventurer, in Nicaragua. So
long as the fighting was good Ward was
happy He took part in the capture OF
Granada and served Walker we'll and
faithfully until Walker had himself elect
ed President. After that they quarrelled
and parted company. In 1860 Ward Of
fered his services to the Emperor of
China. A great rebellion was under way
in the Flowery Kingdom The rebellion
had begun in 1850 and spread until half
the empire was under control of the
Tae-pings. Ward had military ability of
high order and genius for organiza-
ton. At the beginning Wards attitude
was purely mercenary. For a stipulated
sum he would contract to capture a GER
tain city held by the rebels If he did
not succeed he was to get nbthing; if he
was successful he demanded spot cash.
Shanghai was his base From the vessels
that came to that port he gathered about
him as reckless and daring a band of adj
venturers as could be assembled in any
part of the far east He trained these
men until they were highly efficient and
he armed them with the most improved
firearms of the day. Through the French,
English and American governments he
obtained cannon. His first exploit was
the capture of Sungkiang, which was de-
Tended by 10000 rebels. After that he
gave little rest to the enemy City after
city fell to him. He beat back a great
rebel army bent on the capture of Shang-
hal and earned the gratitude of the En-
peror by storming the great fortress at
Ningpo, which was thought to be i'm
pregnable
In recognition of his successes he was
made general in chief of the Chinese
army. He had drawn about 10000 Chinese
into his service and trained them land

DE GRAY OF OAMAME
 SHERRY IS MOVIE STAR
"Charming Fifty" is Feat of Young Old Man. Can do 100 Yards in 10 Flat.

Playgoers of Phoenix who had the pleasure of enjoying the performances of Madame Sherry have no doubt zee ognized the face of Sydney De Gray in the famous Majestic Films. De Gray is one of the most enthusiastic eXpOn- ents of the Bernard McFadden school of physical culture
 Chasing Fifty" De Gray tells us he is still able to do a hundred yards in ten flat which is one of the most re- markabIe performances known today of a man of his age.
 In the role of TheOphiIus Sherry, De Gray is portraying to the people of the west the thing that he has already be- come successful in; that of the comedy. He is a member of the old time school of comedians receiving his training in a school of no less fame than that of Tony Past DTS that has produced a num- Der Of the foremost American players.

We told you about one prop erty 16x25o feet that produced twenty seven thousand dollars within a few weeks. We told you about the Shushanna Mining G Trading Co.,, Ltd, corporation organized in September right after the strike became known that got in the ground floor.

 Hundreds of ambitious men and women in all parts of tke country who unable personally to make the trip to Shushanna, Alaska, have joined the organization knovvns the Shushanna Mining & Trading Co.,.

MESA RANCHER FILES
 PROTEST ON SCRIP ENTRY
To Come up Before U. s. Land Office
 Here Not Lien Land is Charge.

Arnold Mandl, attorney for Archie L. HIilIett of Mesa. fileI a protest with the United States land office yester- G:y against the filinG by the santa Fe company of MoQui scrip on q cer- tain quarter section of land in section 4, township 1 north, range east, s miles east of Mesa, just outside the limits of the Salt River project
 The Santa Fe company through it's land agents had scripted certain lands in that section with MOqui scrip, in lieu of other land of more or less worthless q nature that used to belong to the company and has since been taken inside the Indian reservation. The number of the filing is 21272 and was made on April 26 of this year. The scrip was worth at one time but three dollars for every acre it repre- sented. It has increased somewhat in price since that time. However it is stated in the protest made by MT. Mandl and vouched for an affidavit bv Mr Mullett that the particular land in question is worth from $25 to $50 per acre susceptible of irrigation with the outlay of a small amount of money This is the fourth or fifth protest that has been made on Santa Fe seIec-
 tions during the past few months. The increasing value of the land in this section makes it very desirable for scrippcrs to get, if they possibly can Scripping land is a cheap method of obtaining valuable property The trouble that many complain of is that | in many eases the agents do not take ] lieu lands at all but take lands that are worth from two to three times as much as the lands upon which it is de- l sired to place the scrip
 Speeches on this subject were made very often during the recent sessions l of the legislature and charges were made that the scrippcrs were getting ! all the valuable land However. the land 1 commission got busy and filed upon
 50 much land that was right where the 1 charges were coming from that they
 | soon fell through. There, however are
 mutterings beginning to he heard again
 upon the matter of scripping lands
 | from various quarters and a number of
 fights will be made before the land of
 | flee doubtless before the thing is
 stopped.
 1 Arnold Nandl is comparatively a new
 : man in this section but he has had a
 number of years of experience in the
 1 field work of the United States land
 1 office and expects to be able to put
 over the fight successfully should the
 developing contest be little or big.
