CHENEY DWELLING
BURNED

Last night (Tuesday) the
beautiful ranch home of DR.
Cheney, three miles north OF
Willard, burned to the ground.
The Doctor and wife and Mrs.
Gregory, who had been visiting
them, left the house about three
o'clock in@ tie afternoon, the
ladies going to the club meeting
and they were joined at about
six by the Doctor, and all took
supper with Mrs. Brickley and
spent the evening there.
About ten o'clock the light of
the burning building was seen,
and from the direction and locat-
ion it was known to be the
Cheney place,
Doctor Cheney set out at once
but reached the place too late to
save anything.
The house had been completed
only about three months ago, was
of the modern bungalow style
and was elegantly finished in
side.
Mrs. Cheney had been in the
habit of keeping her silverware
in the bank vault, but having
planned to entertain the Ladies'
Aid Society, had taken it home a
few days before, and the silver
ware shared the fate of the bal
ance of the household goods.
1t is believed that the fire must
have been Of incendiary origin,
as no fire was left in the house,
and it must havessbeen five or six
hours after they left before the
fire started.
There was a little insurance,
but not nearly enough to cover
the loss 5000 on the building,
nothing on the contents.
DR.. and Mrs. Cheney have the
sincere sympathy of their large
circle of friends in and around
Willard in their loss.

TULAROsA BANK
ROBBED

Tularosa, N. M. Feb. THE
Tularosa National Bank of this
place, was robbed last night of a
large sum of money, the exact
extent of the loss being at pre-
sent unknown, and the cashier,
H. G. Holloway, was so badly
sandbagged by the thieves. that
it was feared for a time that he
would not recover. He is i'm
proving tonight. The robbers
entered the bank building in the
early part of the evening when
few people were on the streets,
held up the cashier, slugged him
when he resisted and looted the
vault. 1t is believed that two
or more persons were concerned
in the deed, but after an all day
search for a possible clue, Sheriff
James Hunter of Otero county,
has returned to Alamogordo,
completely baffled.

MAY CLOSE ALL
SCHOOLS

Nearly all the outlying school
districts of Mora county have re-
ceived word from the county
superintendent that they will be
obliged to close their sessions be
cause of lack of funds to pay the
salaries of the teachers. The
district school directors, especi-
ally those in the eastern end of
the county, are highly indignant
and have sent a petition to
Governor Mcdonald asking him
to at once institute an investiga-
tion of the affairs of the county
to ascertain what has become of
the funds. The affairs of the
county have been for many years
in the hands of one set of officials
and lack of confidence, born of
some rather raw deals, has
aroused the people who are vigor
ously asking an investigation
and an explanation of the county
finances.

CONSULAR REPORTS
ARE HELD BLAMELBS
investigation Shows They Did Not
Picture Alluringly Brazilian
Diamond Mines.

Investigations made here yesterday not
only fail to bear out. but in a large
measure contradict, charges by Ameri-
cans who Investigated an "aluring" dia-
mond mine scheme in Brazil that the
exploiters were assisted by reports of
United States consular officers to the
State Department, and by an article pub
lished in the bulletin OF the Pan-Ameri-
can Union. United States officials say
that II anybody has been ''nipped" it
certainly is not because the United States
authorities have failed TO issue warnings
The two consular reports specifically
mentioned by the Americans who dis
covered the shady nature OF the mines
in which they were asked TO invest con-
tain direct and specific warnings TO
Americans against fake concerns claim
ing to have valuable diamond mines in
Brazil. These reports, and many others
bearing on the same subject, were writ
ten by Consul General George E. Ander-
son. at Rio de Janiero.
The article in the Pan American BuIle-
tin referred to was found to be an inocu-
Gus account OF the history of the dia-
mond industry In Brazil, from earliest
colonial days, and description Of the
methods used. A report from Consul
General Anderson, in 1908, to the effect
that improved methods were being used
by those engaged in diamond mining in
Brazil furnished the inspiration of the
descriptive and historical article. Fur
thermore, John Barrett. director OF the
Pan American Union, in g statement last
night, declared that he had repeatedly
warned Americans against investing in
diamond mining propositios in Brazil,
without first makig an investigator.
