Inc New Mexico Mounted Polce
have other troubles besides trying to
find kidnapers. A letter received
from S. A. Sheppard, who has been
living at BAT San Francisco street in
this city, and who has just returned
to his ranch or homestead near Stan
ley, southern Santa Fe county, indi-
Gates that robbers have had no respect
for homesteaders private property
but made clean sweep.
Mr. Sheppard's house was broken
into while he was in Santa Fe whittier
he had come owing to illness.
The list of things missing is long
one. More than that, it would indicate
a high state of civilization and must
arouse keen interest particularly of
Fasteners who depict life in New
Mexico as that of the wild and woody
west of by gone days. Rocking chairs,
fancy sausage machines, cedar
churn and even a postal scales are
among the luXuries much appreciated
by the thieves.
The writer, with a touch of deli ,ious
bumor concludes his long list of arti-
ocles by saying And other things too
numerous to mention"
