Belding discovered that he was, In
deed, the last man Of consequence In
Forlorn River to learn Of the arrival
of Ben Chase and son, mine owners
and operators In Sonora. They, with
q force Of miners, had been besieged
by rebels and finally driven off their
property. This property was not de-
stroyed, but held for ransom And the
Chases, pending developments. had
packed outfits and.struck for the bor-
der. Casita had been their objective
point, but, for some reason which
Beldlng did not learn, they had ar

had taken Pen Chase just one day to
see the possibilities OF Altar valley,
and in three days he had men at work.

situation. Next morning he went ,out
TO the valley to see for himself. Mex
icans were hastily erecting adobe
houses upon Ladd's one hundred and
aixty acres. upon Dick Gales, upon
Jim Lash's and Thorne's. There were
men stalking the valley floor and the
river bed. That was sufficient for
Belding. He turned back toward
town and headed for the camp OF
these intruders. -. 24t
He came to big tent with a huge
canvas fly stretched In front, under
which sat several men In their shirt

been cast upon his capability of exc
