rNE CHlTRAL CAMPAIGN
Showed ths Fighting Qualities In The British
Command at That Place.

LONDON, May a--The Times publishes a
lengthy dispatch from Chitral describing
the siege Of the fort mt that place, In which
the British agent at Gilglt, Sergeant Major
Robertson, shut himself up. with hts es-
cort Of 300 British and native troops. when
Sher Afxul captured Chitral.
The garrison, 1t appears. had supplies
which, on short rations, would have lasted
until tho middle OF June, but they had
little or no meat and were reduced to eat
ing horsefesh. The Scpoys when re-
lieved, looked like corpse& and the officers
were pale and worn, but they were conf
dent Of being able to last tt out although
they could have only done so with terrible
privation.
The discipline and stcadiness. as well as
the enthusiasm Of the Sikhs are described
as magnificent. Upon one occasion those
who wero In the hospital rushed out to
take part In the defense.
After detailed report Of the measures
taken for the defense and describing the
attacks made upon the fort, the dispatch
pictures the main action, which was
fought on April n. Captain Townshend,
the chief military officer. noticed that the
enemy had been playing tom-toms In
summer house, outside Of the fort, which
they had captured, and 1t struck the cap
tain that this might have been done to
drown the noise Of mining.
After careful listening, a faint sound Of
q pick was heard about ~ feet from the
southwest tower. Thereupon, Lieutenant
Harley and party consisting Of 40 Sikhs
and 60 Kashmir troops was toled of for
sally. Taking with them $50 pounds Of
gunpowder with which to blow up the
mine, the door of the garden gate on the
east side of the fort was opened quietly
and the sallying party rushed out with
fixed bayonets.
There were a few struggling shots and
the summer house was taken. Thirty.1ve
Of the enemy were bayoneted as they came
out OF tho mine. The powder bags were
then laid and tho mine was blown up.
The sallying party afterward hurried
back to the fort, having lost eight killed
and 13 wounded. The enemy lost TO men,
nearly all Of whom were killed.

CONCERNING CAPTAIN NEIDENHOFFEN

the district court of Silver Bow Coun-
ty, has been named by a number OF
prominent newspapers of the state as
a promising possibility for secretary OF
state. Madison County people are in
terested in him and his candidacy be-
cause he is IA Madison County boy. He
was born right here in Virginia City
about 90 years ago. He is a charming
young nan and very popular among all
classes in Silver Bow County. In pol
itics he runs like "a streak OF CREASED
tightening. Perrin Irvine was his
political opponent in the canvass OF
three years ago. In those days Irvine
enjoyed the confidence Of the DemOc'
racy of Silver Bow and was considered
a strong candidate. but he was left
at the post when the political t1as
dropped-the Captain beat him nearly
two to one. The convention is ye

captain receive the nomination nothing
could prevent his election. lie is
