Tie Fro.clayery men formed part Of the armed

Oh the breaks Of the prairie. The spot is some
fifteen miles distant. What they propose doing

men who had hurried TO the spot. went TO their
homes last evening.
A MlsTAKE.-It now appears that a United

Prostate man unintcntlonally. Free
State mans house had been attacked by a

or four Free state men went back with these
dragons at IA gaiop. Ia the meantime. the
Georgians, smelling rat. retreated. Five Free
State neghbOrs got into the attacked house, where
WAS the mistress of the house and two children.
Expecting the Georgians back and not being at nil
sa1 guine about Uncle Sam being likely To help
them. they kept d bright look out. IA ia luck
would have il, the Dragons and the men with
them approached the house from that direction in
which the Georqisns lad retreated. Seeing a
