OF a sneak thief. Some one entered

matte pistol, another pistol equally |
valuable, pair of leggins and y safe
ty razor, the whole beig valued &c $58. |
First Lieutenant Hinson of troop A,
with detachment of 16 men, a pack
train OF 20 mules and full field equip
ment has been sent on a seven-day
hike to Las Cruces, N. M. His mis-
sion Is to recover the horses lost by
the Massachusetts, outfit on their re-
cent hike to La Cruces.
The first movement toward breaking
up the seventh division, If such
thing is contemplated by the war de-
partment, was made this week. The
First Pennsylvania Field Artillery has
gone home. They left Friday and
there is no available artillery regiment
to take their place. The impression
prevails here that there will be big
changes in few days now and that
practically all of the National Guard
may be sent home.
This First Pennsylvania is one of
the finest artillery regiments in the
entire service. Even the crack regi-
ments Of the regulars have to go some
to keep in sight of these Pennsyl-
Vanians.
Battery A of this regiment is from
Bethlehem, Pa, and every man in
works for Charles M. Schwab, the
great steel man. From captain down
to the humblest private they call him
Uncle Charlie and seem to feel real,
personal love for him. There are I'll
men in the battery and not one of
them draws less than 80 cents per
hour for a ten-hour day. Their sala-
ries are paid by "Uncle Charlie" Some
of the men draw as much as 5000 per
week. He has promised them their
full salaries and their jobs back, no
matter how long they have to stay
down here.
There Is a Tar Heel in this battery.
| He ranks as sergeant and f1rst-class
gunner and his name is Mack Buch
anan. He halls from Concord and is
a brother to Lieut. E. S. Buchanan of
the North Carolina medical corps, now
with the First Regiment. He is one
of the most popular men in his battery
and his comrades say that he is slated
for a commission when the battery
returns home. Sergeant Buchanan is
very anxious to return home, not for
the waiting commission but for the
reason that baby girl has arrived at
his home since he left and he is anx-
ious to make her acquaintance.
The Second regiment underwent
rigid examination last week at the
hands of General Young. The regiment
is expected to make a much better
showing when Major General Glenn
ents makes a second inspection this
week. Capt. w. Freeman, adjutant
first regiment, and Capt VIM. M. West
moreland, Company E, First, were
granted leave Of absence of ten and
fifteen days respectively, Capt. Free
man to visit a brother in Los Angeles
and Capt. Westmoreland to visit a
brother in Clarksville, Texas. Lieut.
William e. Shipp, Twelfth cavalry, a
Raleigh boy, son of Captain Shipp, OF
Spanish-American war fame, was q
visitor in the North Carolina cavalry
camp. Lieut. Shipp is a North Caro-
linian He graduated from West Point
last spring and has already won pro
motion to nrSt lieutenant
Concerning Changes.
The war department continues Its
strenuous efforts to induce national
guardsmen to enlist in the regulars
