A SECOND ATTACK ON CAMP.
1t Was Conducted in a More Military
 Manner Than the Previous One.


 As soon as the memorial services were over Sunday evening the mem bers of c company were marched to their armory, where they remained until shortly after midnight. At that time rigs were brought to the armory. and those Of the company who cared to do so were invited to participate in the annual raid on the cadet company now in camp. Only a few of the men, who lived far from town, fell out, and the remainder, numbering about thirty, were conveyed to within a dis tance of a mile and half of the cadet camp. At that point the rigs were left and the company covered the re- mainder of the distance on foot, mak- ing as little noise as possible. It had | been arranged to have Lieutenant Meyer take a small detachment and engage the cadets from the east, and while they were so doing the idea was for the larger part of the company, under Captain Hayden and Lieutenant Campbell, to capture the camp. This | scheme was carried out to a certain extent, but the ruse worked none too well, Captain Irish having the fore sight to expect something of the kind. It has become a custom for the militia to attack the cadets each year, some night during their encampment, but all possible secrecy is maintained as to when the night will be. Consequently the cadets are kept on the alert until it actually happens. On that account they were pretty well prepared to meet the attack yesterday morning.
 Lieutenant Meyer commenced the attack as per schedule. and. the re- mainder of the company came in from the north In so doing, however, it was necessary for the company to cross the canal on a very narrow board, one at a time. The cadet camp was less than a hundred yards across the canal. on the south.
 A sentinel perceived a sneaking form in the adjoining alfalfa field and promptly gave the alarm. Captain Irish, who had played the same scheme having sent out a detachment to meet Lieutenant Meyer and his men, had reserved the larger part of his company 10 guard the camp. These were at once brought to the ca nal, and the size of the bridge pre- vented c company from making | charge. A desperate exchange of shots occurred across the canal, how ever, lasting perhaps ten minutes. : T II HIS biACli NCelsCu rOiA DOllA SAhSSt liAC two captains meeting each other half way across the canal, on the very nar row board.
 The members of c company were then invited into camp, where rousing fires were built and plenty of hot cof- fee was made. Perhaps an hour was spent in joking and discussing the va rious phases of the attack and defense, and about 2:S0 o'clock the invading host departed. The cadets gave Who's all right?" for c company and it's officers and the national guards returned the courtesy, then left for | town. feeling that they had never been treated more royalty in so short a space of time, and full of praise for Captain Irish and the cadets.
 It was said that all departed, but Captain Standage of D company and the writer were invited to remain the rest of the night, or, rather. morning. and as a result the latter are further indebted to the captain and members of the company for a most delicious breakfast, served in true military style. Captain Standage remained the greater part of yesterday, assisting the officers during the day. Camp will probably be broken some time today. and the company will return this eve ming.
 The good results derived from the encampment by the cadets. and by both companies from the engag agement | yesterday morning are many.
 i The company is encamped in due form, according to revised regulations. and the attack was made after much | thought on the part of the officers and strictly in a military way It showed no little skill. the result of much ac-
 tual experience on the part of Lieu tenant Campbell, and the defense was | conducted likewise. Taking it alto
 gether. it was night well spent by
 all who participated and, to say the
 least, it was heartily enjoyed.
 | JUSTICE COURT PROCEEDINGS. Sunday was rather a quiet day here
 and it did not contribute very largely l to a full house in court yesterday.
 There were only two cases, but late
 yesterday evening Constable Sigala I picked up another. The first two men
 tioned were tried yesterday Maria
 Gonzales, who was arrested a short
 time ago for unduly flourishing a shot
 gun, was given ten days for being
 drunk and disorderly Jesus Ven zuela was given the same dose for the
 same reason. Yesterday afternoon Prof. Frank, a wandering musician,
 who for a time played with the Noble Dramatic company, entered a private
 house and took charge of the piano.
 He will have a hearing today.
