No conqueror was ever more generous to

friends who had won the victory TO sur

he advised them to be generous as well as

the little daughter, child of ten years,
dead, and wounded the boy, two years
younger, who ran out on the porch,
where Egbert shot him again, killing
him instantly. The murderer then
went out into the alley and leveled his
gun at Mrs. Haschke, who, seeing his in
tention, attempted to escape. He shot
her, however, the charge taking effect
in the top of her head, removing part of
her skull. Mrs. Haschke fingered in an
unconscious state for about two hours,
when death ended her sufferings.
Having completed this work Of
brtchery, Egbert shouldered his gun
and deliberately walked up into the
business part Of the town. Sheriff Null
and Constable Sweem were planning
a means of capturing the murderer.
Egbert was walking across the north
side of the square, holding his gun
in position, with both barrels
cooked, when he saw Null and Sweem
crossing The street towards him. He
called out to them that they had bet
ter not come any nearer. The two
officers retired into stairway in the
national bank building for moments
consultation, when Egbert turned and,
coming upon them suddenly, shot and
instantly killed both men.
The murderer then started to run,
taking westward course towards the
fair grounds, number Of citizens in
close pursuit. He ran like deer I'M
til, while crossing an open field just
west of town, a shot from his pursuers
took effect in his heel. This crippled
him, and though he managed to scale
the inclosure of the fair grounds he
was unable to run further, and crawl
ing into stall in the fair grounds, be
shot himself in the right breast. The
fire from his gun ignited his clothing
which was partially burned when he
was found.

James to keep house and care for the
baby while they did some shopping.
During their absence, the bear made its
appearance at the house, driving James
from the room where the baby lay. The
boy recovered his nerve in few mo-
ments, and on returning to the room
was Mortified to see the bear clawing at
the bed clothes on the crib, where the
baby was screaming with terror. The
boy, without moments hesitation,
dashed into the room past the aston
lshed bear, and catching the infant in
his arms made race for the door,
reaching it just ahead of the now angry
bear: Slamming the door shut James
deposited it in place of safety, and
returning to the house by the back way
secured his fathers rifle. Poking the
muzzle through the window Of the
room IN which the bear was Gagged, he
fired several bullets into the animals
body. When Mr.. and Mrs. Gregerson
returned, an hour later, they found
James hiding in the barn with the

floor of the house. Beyond a few
scratches the baby was unhurt --~% '--.

Cape Town, April 25.-Dispatches
from different sources in Buluwayo give
information somewhat conflicting in
character, but the main fact seems we'll
established that the British have made
sortie in force, encountered large
numbers Of Matabele, inflicted great
loss upon them, suffered in return, were
at one time in danger of humiliation,
and finally retreated. Other dispatches
say that there is no truth in the report
that the British were defeated. The
only basis for it was statement in the
first dispatches that the British had
been driven into the river. Later details
make no mention of this, and it is
thought that the statement was mis-
taken one, for the British crossed the
river to reach the enemy at close quar-
ters.' .
The loss of the enemy is said to have
been very great. No correct estimate
could be made, but the reports place
the number of Matabele killed at any,
where between 400 and 1000. The loss
of the British is not stated, but is be-
Geved to be more severe than the com
manders at Buluwayo are willing to
admit.

to overthrow ministry or to be the
sole interpreter of the constitution, but.
he added, in view of the improbability
of securing proper military reEefs for
Madagascar, the cabinet was compelled
to resign.
The premier was frequently inter-
rupted with cries from the extreme
left of "Down with the senate!" and
when the ministers filed out of the
house there was loud applause from the
right and center, to which the left re-
piled with loud cries of ''Turn out the
senate!" "Down with the senate!" A
scene Of prolonged tumult followed.

No Strike Probable.

Advices from Masaba say authorita-
lively that there will be no strike by
miners unions on the Masaba and Yer
million ranges this year if wages are at
all fair, neither will an attempt be made
to enforc the eight-hour rate. It is the
purpose of the unions to work slowly,
gaining strength by adding members,
and to work for needed reforms. Two
things are to be asked Of the legisla-
ture this year-frst, a law providing
for mining inspector, to be elected by
the people of the county, and providing
penalties for mine owners who do not
take every possible precaution for the
safety of their workingmen; and
another law, making heavy penalties
for blacklisting union men simply be-
cause of their membership in union.
