1 RANCH ROBBED.
]. W. HadlocRs House In tho Sacramentos
Burned to the Ground.

When J. w. Hadlock, of Ell Paso. ar
rived at his ranch four miles from
Cloudcroft, in Cox canon of the Sacra-
mento mountains, he found that his
house had been burned to the ground in
order to hide the fact that 1t had been
looted. Sheriff w. r. Baker was noti-
fed, and traced the stolen property to
sawmill. Mr.. Hadlock, with two dep
uties. went to the mill to recover it.
Some of the men saw them coming. and
one Of them made rush for the house.
Deputy Sheriffs Colly and Green dashed
after him on their horses. He got to the
house minute or two ahead of them.
and as they came in the door he was
in the act Of leveling Winchester at
them. He was. however, overpowered,
and two of the men were lodged in Jail.
Another, alleged to be implicated. has
fed, but the officers are after him. The
case Is now being investigated by the
grand jury Of Otero county.

THE SHELTER RESUMES.

Sheriff H. C. Kinsell returned fron
Cerrillos this forenoon. He says the
smelter there resumed operations yes.
terday with large supply of ore f1uxes
and fuel in the bins, and 1t now looks
like the new plant had passed the em-
bryotic stage. He also states that F. H
Mitchell has taken a contract from O.
B. Steen and others to do 700 feet of de-
velopment work on the O'Neill Tom
Paine silver-lead mine, the output to &c
to the Cerrillos smelter for treatment
A $1,000 MINE SALE.
w. H. Kennedy, the popular Cerrillos
merchant, was in town between trains
to-day and confirmed the report that
he and his associate, Mr.. Fox, had sold
their Glorieta iron mine. W. H. Rogers,
a cattle man in Socorro county, was the
purchaser, the consideration being
$1,000. This mine is now supplying all
the iron flux necessary for the Cerrilos
smelter, and the impression Is extant
in some quarters that the purchase was
really made for the smelter people.

AN INSPECTION TOUR
Adjutant General Whiteman Visits
the New Mexico Military Insti-
tute At Roswell.
A POPULAR INSTITUTION
The Military Institute Is In a Splendid
Condition, But Needs More Extensive
Quarters-Fine Turn Out of Two
National Guard Companies.

Adjt. Gen. w. H. Whiteman returned
yesterday from Roswell, whittier he
had been in compliance with that re-
quirement of the national guard law
which calls for the annual inspection of
the New Mexico military institute.
From what Colonel Whiteman says the
people of the territory may well be
proud of this factor in their >saucation-
al system. Over 100 cadets are now be-
ing instructed here by a very able fac
ulty headed by Col. James G. Meadors,
superintendent, a graduate of the
Washington and Lee university, and
man of splendid energy and capacity.
The cadets are divided into two com.
panies, under the command of Mai. J.
w. Wilson, an excellent young man,
and graduate from the Virginia mill
tary institute.
INSPECTION OF CADETS.
On inspection the cadets made very
neat appearance; their clothing, g,irs
and entire equipment were in perfect
order, and their drill greatly improved
over year ago. They all expressed
themselves as comfortably cared for,
contented and pleased with their prog
ress. The adjutant general finds, how
ever that the quarters are somewhat
cramped. 'This is popular and Grow
ing institution" he said, land needs
more housing capacity. Out of the tut
tion earnings last year Colonel Meadors
saved $1,000 and built dwelling for the
superintendent, but he has had to give
this up to dormitory purposes. I think
another building fully as large as the
present main building will be required
to accommodate the college next year"
RECEIPTS OF A YEAR.
The school receives about $4,000 an
nually from the territory, and during
the session of 1898-99 earned $500 ad-
ditional in tuition fees. The buildings
cost 100000; thoroughly furnished and
equipped; four stories, gas lighted and
steam heated; hot and cold water on all
floors; modern bath, lavatories and clos
cts; complete system of water works,
sewerage and fire apparatus. During
the year past the grounds have been
beautified with trees, shrubs and grass
Sufficient attention is given to athletic
sports.
GUARD INSPECTION.
En- route home Adjutant General
Whiteman stopped over at Las Cruces,
where he inspected companies A and B,
1st infantry regiment. New Mexico ma
tionai guard. the latter company COM
ing over from Mesilla These organiza-
tions made very handsome turnout

ion was formed under command of Ma
jor Eugene Van Patten. in the presence
Of large number of spectators. The

the battalion adjutant. 1.-THE officers Of
this battalion are an unusually bright
and active set of men," said Colonel

troy the crescent and to lift the cross in
the east" DR.. Handley's remarks
apparently turned the tide In favor OF

and wisely choose bishop from among

tendents, recommending that two gen.
eral superintendent be elected by this
