pairing TO leave the screen ranks to go

on the screen as a daring rider He
saw active service in the battle of Ell
Canev and San Juan, in the cuban war,
where he received honorable wounds.
After leaving the army he had charge
OF railroad surveys in Mexico. This

country of Mexico, and its people of all
classes. He claims he knows every inch
Of ground from Nogaies to MaZatlan,
and he is anxious to lead forces through
that troublesome section.
