have for some months past infested
Roche canon, and recovered two wagon
loads OF stolen property, consisting of
furniture, clothing, jewelry. tools, har

marks on them. The parties in

LIMITED MATRIMoNY.
California Courts May Decide as to Mar
riage For Six Months.

riage For Six Months.
An interesting yet extremely ridicu-
lous question has found its way into the
California courts. The problems to be
solved in all seriousness by the courts are
these: ''Is contract of marriage stipu-
lated to expire at the end of six months
or year valid document If the docu-
ment be valid, is the limitation gooda
Does the limitation invalidate the con-
tractf Can the relations of the contract
Ing parties be legally laid aside at the
end of the prescribed time? Would
child born after the limit has expired,
and were the contract not renewed, be
legitimate child?" 1t seems impossible
that in this day such question should be
seriously raised, but as matter Of fact
there has developed among the Califor-
MIA lawyers some difference Of opinion on
the subject.
Six months ago Edward M. Ellrus and
Lille Mabney Of San Francisco entered
period Of six months" A few days ago
they again repaired to a notary's Office
and caused q second contract to be drawn
up for another six months. The young
couple maintain that they have the adj
vice of good lawyers that the contract is
good. The situation is such novel one
that several reputable lawyers have per-
suaded the young couple TO permit the
question to be submitted to a court of
adjudication. just how to get this be-
fore the court is the question. 1t can
hardly be accomplished by divorce pro-
ceedings, neither could it be accomplish
ed by criminal process. Lawyers, how
ever, declare that they will find way of
bringing the matter to judicial notice
in order that the ridiculous proposition
may be settled at once.
Some of the best lawyers in the state
have taken an interest in the matter.
Many prominent citizens declare that it
is against public policy for such ques-
ton to be dignified by doubt for any
length of time. On the other hand, there
are few lawyers who consent to main
tain the strict legality of the terms of
the limited contract. Omaha World

Massacre of Csptaia Wilson and His
Gallant Band.


Massacre of Captaia Wilson and His
Gallant Band.
CAPE Town, Jan. 13.-Details of the
massacre OF Captain Wilson's party by
Matabeles were received here today.
Natives who were with King Lo Ben
gula at the time OF the fight and who
have arrived at Buluwayo to surrender,
tell the story OF the struggle.
Wilson's party consisted OF 40 British
troops and about 100 native auxiliariss.
They came upon King Lo Bengula, who
had strong force. Confident that the
spirit of the Matabeles WAS thoroughly
broken, and intent only on capturing
the king, Wilson, without taking pre-
cautions against surprise, pushed for
ward with his troopers. Lo BengulR
discovering the smallness of the attack
ing force, planned successful ruse. He
ordered the center OF his column to re-
treat before the British advance, while
the TANKS fell away on either aide in
order to surround the British.
The plan worked perfectly. The
troopers dahhing reckleesly forward,
soon left the native auxiliaries far be-
hind then the Matabelee ia front made
d stand, and those on the TANKS began
to close in. Wilson discovered his
danger and turned TO cut his way out,
to join his auxiliaries, but the Mat
abeles pressed him on every
side in overwhelming numbers. The
troopers horses fell beneath them
and they were finally compelled to make
life and death stand, fighting from be-
hind their dead horses as breastworks.
The ammunition for their carbines

soon gave out and they then had resort

soon gave out and they then had resort
to their revolvers. and when they had
no more cartridges for them, de-
tended themselves with their
swords, while the savages pressed
closer and closer, and finally with savage
yslls swept down upon those who re-
mained alive, and with aesegais and
clubs beat them to the earth, and all
was over after a struggle characterized
by almost unexampled bravery.
So ended another tragic chapter in the
history OF Great Britain's military opera
tions in Africa, in which, aH in others,
persisted some Of the braveat soldiers
and the young sons of some of her best
families, sent out to their first taste Of
war.
Among the officers in the Wilson
party were Captains Fitzgerald, Judd,
Greenfield, Kirton and Barrows, and
Leutenants Hughes and Hoffmeyer.
Among the men of the line who went
down before the irresistabls assault OF
the savages was q son of Sir Jules Vogel,
formerly general agent for New Zealand
in London.
During the latter part OF the stand
not a man of the British force was un-
wounded; some OF them were hit at
least dozen times. All reports are to
the effect that the young troopers made
a most gallant defense, keeping the cav
ages at bay comparatively long time,
owing to their accurate marksmanship
and the steadiness with which they
faced certain death.
1t is estimated that 400 savsges par
ticipated in the attack, while the Brit
ish numbered only "a. After all was
over the Triumphant natives stripped
the bodies of the troopers, mutilated
them horribly, and possessed themselves
of their weapons.
