As announced in yesterdays News,

Whether his death was accidental or
whether, tired OF life on account OF his
continued illness, he committed suc, e
cannot be told from the evidence at CON-
mand. Those who knew him well SAY he
was liable to faintng spells and they
think it possible that sitting on the dock
he was attacked by one OF them. He
was seen at about 400 ia the morning
by DR.. Jones, in East Houghton. The
body was found at 1890 floating 20 feet
from shore by Amos DeMars. Justice

Henry Kruger, Otto Obenhoff. William
McCurdy, Seeley Palmer, John Slockett,

possible, death by drowning.

This story May Not he True, but IL IL Far
From Impossible.
Here is little anecdote told, not by
malicious uitlander, but by Boer.
In the early days, before the Transvaal
was "A republic, there was famine in
the land and party was organized to
hunt the bartbeest. For days the party
secured the veldt in vain; there was no
sign of game Of any description. Then
one of the Beers dec Jared his intention
OF retiring into the bush to pray for sue
cordingly left the party in company with
native and disappeared into the bush.
Some hours aftervard the Boer re-
turned and informed the party solemnly
that he had prayed, and i'll three days
time very large troop of hartbeest
would pass that way. The party re-.
manned at the camp, and, sure enough.
two days after the promised game APP
peared in sight, and the Dutchmen, with
thankful heart, made great haul.
From that moment "the man of pray
er" became the popular hero until he
was elected president of the South Afri.
can republic. That man was Paul Kru-
ger.
And now listen to the edifying sequel:
1t was some time afterward that the
native who accompanied Kruger into the
bush gave his We: ion of the affair The
native stated that when Kruger entered
the bush he did 1T pray, but struck out
for II neighboring Eaffir kraal. Calling
the headmen, the B0er informed them
that the white p jple were starving and
could find no game. There was large
number of armed b Ders on the other side
of the bush, who had sent him to tell
them that unless they (the natives) dis
covered game in less than three days
they would all be shot. Knowing Boer
methods only too we'll the frightened
natives set out forthwith, discovered the
game and drove it toward the Boer
camp London Figaro.
