Hollenbeck home Of Los Angeles, CAL,

cause it does not fall within the ex-
emptions. It is further claimed that
the sum of $3,62O.4S alleged to have
been paid to the state of New Jersey

subject to the Iowa tax.
The court is asked for an order de-

tors small five-shooter, and the fight

was on.
Unsteady OF his all-night debauch
! Graden's two first shots missed, wher
the doctor shot him close to the heart
This so shocked Graden that his next
four shots also flew Wild Then, his
pistol emptied. he drew second he
had concealed within his blouse, and
with his first shot from 1t lodged q
ball within an empty chamber Of the
doctors five-shooter, putting 1t out OF
action.
But in that same instant, 1t must
have been. the doctors last shot
struck Graden in the left breast, close
to his first wound, and he fell cursing
and calling Lieutenant Morris to turn
out his troop and avenge his death.
Some of the bystanders urged DR..
Whitlock to run for the quarters Of
the California troops, but the doctor
replied:
"He called me coward, and this
day I will run from no one"
Before Colonel Carson could stop
them, out poured Graden's Mexicans,
and the brave old doctor fell, riddled
by more than twenty bullets.
The entire murderous company was
placed under arrest, but, one by one,
they escaped. And to this day the
bodies of the doctor and the captain
lie side by side, near to where they
fell. beneath the pines Off old Fort
Stanton, en- broad-topped hillock
which is thickly planted with the
bones of other brave men who died
with their boots on.

The girls from the seminary had a

the thrilling event was the finding Of

finally developed sufficient courage to

Spineless Cactus, the Wonder Plant

Improved spineless cactus, the great cattle,
sheep horse and hog feed, can be grown without
irrigation where the annual rainfall is not less than
inches where the Temperature does not get colder
than 16 above Zero
Plant cactus on your wacte land and make it as
productive as the best alfalfa field.
Plant it on the best land cultivate and irigate it
properly, and your production will be proportionate-
" greater. While cactus will grow desert wastes
no other plant grown will respond more quickly and
abundantly to good treatment.
Spineless cactus, as stock food, has come to
STAY Only a few years ago, alfalfa was but little
known and thought at first to be noxious weed.
Today it is the greatest hay crop of the West For
tunes have been made from its production and
greater fortunes will be made from growing cac
tus.
Improved spineess cactus is fast becoming
known the greatest and best of all stock foods IL
gives green nutritious fodder all the year round,
which can be fed to stock at all seasons OF the year
Luther Burbank the Plant Wizard of the world,
says spineess cactus is worth more than all his 9TH
er productions combined.
1t is not an experimental actually outrivals
alfalfa taking into consideration its great and rapid
growth.
One acre of alfalfa will feed one cow a year. One
acre of spneless cactus will feed four to five cows
a year. according to reliable tests it increases the
output of milk about 40 per cent Do you think it will
pay?
Cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, turkeys and chick
ems when accustomed to cactus prefer it to all 9TH
er kinds of forage.
Order quick before we plant it all on
lands.
