Contract With Sheriff.

SheriIf-elect Jacob Hermann will
receive $4,000 from the county for his
first year s services. This is to in
clude q salary of $500, an allowances
for care Of prisoners of $2,250, and
$4,000 for the employment Of proba-
tion officers. The contract was made
without any serious arguments be-
tween the new sheriff and the mem
bers of the County Board.
A resolution calling upon the legis-
lature to repeal the so-called Mother s
Pension law was adopted by the
board at the session on Tuesday after
noon. Several portions of roads in the
towns of Salem, Paris and Randall were
added to the county highway system.
The board was busy today closing up
routine business, but there was little
reason to believe that the adjournment
would be reached as planned. The
finance committee has not as yet pre-
sented its report and with a lot of
other business still outstanding it is
not improbable that the sessions of the
board will not be ended until the first
of next week Tt is planned to take an
adjournment until Monday at the end
of the afternoon session today.

$500 LOSS IN FIRE
 EARLY THIS MORNING
Store Owned by Leo Detro at 182 South Main Street Gutted at
 ; O'clock.

The small store owned by Leo Detro at 182 South Main street was almost completely gutted by flames at 2 o'clock this morning. The lOss in cluding both damages to the building and the stock, is not less than $500. The origin of the blaze IS unknown.
 An alarm was sounded from box 23 and Engine companies No. 1, ? and and the Hook and Ladder com pany responded The entire front of the store was in flames when the tiremen arrived and some little delay was occasioned when the caps on the water hydrants stuck. It is believed that the cause of this is due both to corrosion of the brass couplings and a drying of the packings put in the hy- drants when they were inspected last fall.
 Three lines of hose were used at the fire. One was played on the blazing interior of the store and the other two were directed on adjoining property to prevent the spread of the flames. The store is a small wooden addition to a larger tenement house and it required strenuous efforts to keep the fire from spreading.

 tend Present Duty.

Increase in Tension.

There was very noticeable increase in the tension along the border today following the reported raid last night on the ranch of c. E. Kelly, former mayor of Fl Paso, by Mexican ban dits The ranch is thirty-two miles east of here and a mile and a half from the border.
 l.. N Barker, foreman of the Kel- ly ranch, said he saw a number of mounted head of cattle belonging to Kelly. He ran to a neighboring ranch house and called his employe On the long distance telephone here In the meantime three of the raiders following the cattle went to the Kelly ranch house and threatened the Mex ican assistant foreman with death if he interfered with them.
 A False Alarm.
 Word was immediately sent to the troops on patrol duty at Fabens, two miles east of the ranch, and to Ysleta, eight miles in the other direction. Two attachments of the Eighth cav airy, accompanied by four Texas rangers, were sent in pursuit of the raiders. After three hours search s&bey returned to camp, and Captain G. w Moses reported to General Bell that nothing had been seen of the Mexicans and that he believed the whole affair to be a false alarm. Barker, however, insisted on the truth of his story.
 The reportetd raid served to give a fresh start to the alarming reports labout the attitude of the MeXicans and conditions in the interior, which have kept residents here in a state bordering on hysteria ever since the American troops crossed the border. This feeling had seemed to be dying nway for the last couple of days.
 Matters were not improved by the Ifews from Washington that General Carranza had again deferred a de- oision on the question of permitting the use of the Mexican railroads for the transportation of supplies to the American troops in the field. 4

El Paso, March 2S.-The pursuit of Francisco Villa may be hampered, if not actually halted, unless Mexican railroads arc made available as the main line of communication for the American army in Mexico Military men expressed that view today after studying despatcheS from the front that Villa was till in full flight south ward and meeting With little, if any opposition.
 The American forces arc more than 200 miles below the border.
 Every mile the Mexican bandit ad- vances into the interior increases the difficulties of maintaining the already attenuated line of American com munications. Motor trucks are being rushed to the army base at Columbus, N. M, to help keep up the necessary movement of supplies to the field headquarters at point near Casas Grandes.
 Every effort is being made to con- tinue the line of transport in full op- eration over the rocky and sandy southward from Columbus until the de facto government gives permission to use the railroads.
 Doubtful of Villas Capture.
 There is much pessimism in army circles over the prospect of capturing , Villa and it is felt that unless he is cornered within the week the bandit will have outrun his pursuers and that many months may pass before he and his band can be ferreted out Of their hiding places in the mountains
 Despatches from the advance flying columns, pressing Villa closely make no mention of having come in con- tact with any of the bandits men.
 The sound of shooting in the down town section of Fl Paso early today aroused little attention, as the streets were practically deserted. Five sol diers were taken into custody by the provost guard, charged with having ' fired the shots while intoxicated
