boat was English, and therefore not
amenable to any Venezuelan laws. So
! Moore, seeming pure mischief, told
Lopez he might go to a certain ultra
! tropical CLINE and be cremated. Lopez
then lodged into the station, and ere
the boat was under way he ran out with
a rifle and challenged Moore to pro-
coed.
The party began to laugh and ieer
at the fiery Venezuelan. but he was as
good as his threat and blazed away at
them. Before he could get off a see
ond shot, the first having gone wide.
Moore had thrown the boat i'm the wind
again and his three companions had
Lopez covered with their shotguns. But
he did not scare. He fired again. and
that time Clipped a piece off the mast.
Then Evans and the two Englishmen
let fly, and the howl that Lopez set up
showed that the shots went true, and
his legs were well peppered with game
shot. He dropped his rife and made
for the house, calling for his garri-
son.
The six men swarmed out half clad
and unarmed, and set up a great Yell
ing Meanwhile the boat again set forth
on its voyage. But the incident
was not over. 1t had. in fact, only
commenced. The bluff had to be passed,
and as the boat made for midstream to
weather the point the occupants saw
the soldiers tearing up the steep
towards the gun. The intention clear
ly was to plump a round shot into the
boat
Mr. Moore and party then acted with
promptitude and decision. Something
exceedingly comical was the result. A
thicket of bushes along the bluff CON
cealed the boat from the soldiers, and
whilst they awaited it's appearance the
party put back to shore. Before their
maneuver could well be realized they
had landed, surprised Lopez extracting
the shot from his shins and taken pos
session OF the station.
The six soldiers came running down
from the house, but found IL convenient
to surrender at discretion. since they
were unarmed. Moore and his friends
then tied them up to keep them out OF
mischief whilst they proceeded to make
away with all the arms and ammunition
in the station, which they put into their
boat, The next move was to unmount
the gun and throw il over the bluff.
They then released the prisoners, warn
ing them not TO NEEDLE with English
men again, and pushed off. A little way
out they consigned the arms to the river
and went on their way rejoicing.
This little incident" was duly re-
ported at Georgetown, and doubtless
at Caracas, but no action has been taken
in the matter beyond the enforcement
in the English territory Of general or

II seems from all accounts that the

Of going up evenings TO Moore's set
Element and having a good time among
the people. But there had been some
disagreenbleness arising out of the
Ncuczuelans fondness for Demerhra
rum, the result being that Moore had
forbidden their coming and got down
two or three policemen from the sta
ton to maintain order at his little set
| Element.
This was the state of affairs when
Hugh Evans, an American, and two
Englishmen arrived at Uruan from
Georgetown on a general prospecting
tour and to "spy out the land" Of
course they struck Moore's place. and.
agreeable to the genial invitation. made
it their headquarters while in the vi
cinity.
One morning last July the party, con-
sisting of Moore, Evans, the two Eng
lishmen and Boveiandan servant, set
out in the formers sailboat for days
shooting and fishing among the creeks
at the mouth of the Uruan. All went
we'll until they arrived opposite the
Venezuelan station. The direction of
the wind and set of the current carried
the boat over toward the Venezuelan
-ile of the river. AS they were running
rast the officer in charge, one Capt.
Lopez. came out of the house and hailed
them. Moore, who was steering, at
once drew inshore and asked what the
matter was.
The captain replied that he had or
ders not to permit any traffic on the
river without search and clearance,
and he proposed to carry it out They
would have to come in and get cleared.
Now, this was clearly all nonsense.

pector which is well worth the telling
Apparently no serious consequences
have arisen out of the incident, but il
aptly illustrates the strained conditions
that exist on the frontier. And intrin-
sically the story is full of the element
of romance not unmixed with comical-
ity.
Mr. Moore conducts a thriving farm
on the English side Of the Uruan river,
which stream is one Of the temporarily
arranged lines of demarcation between
the republic and the British colony Of
Guiana. BY dint of industry and pa
thence he has within half a dozen years
established out of the drear wilderness
one of the most prosperous cattle and
agricultural farms in northern South
America. His place is an object lesson
of what can be done in this direction
with the material that nature has so
abundantly supplied; and Mr. Moore
not only keeps his family there. but
with characteristic Irish geniality lit
orally keeps an open house for all viG-
Hers.

habit of going on the warpath on their
own account without reference to or
thought of the possible diplomatic com
plications that might ensue.
OF course during the early days OF
the boundary controversy collisions
were inevitable, and there was more or
less of bloodshed and violence, provoked
by the representatives of the republic
for the most part, but which were usu-
ally got out of the diplomatic net by
mutual consent through a resort to the
simple eXpedient of attributing them
to irresponsible brigandage. Then the
United States,A Intervention came on,
and it was agreed that pending settle
ment Great Britain and Venezuela
should both maintain on the frontiers
responsible disciplined forces compe-
tent to keep the peace.
This arrangement has worked fairly
well, at any rate on the English side Of
the disputed territory. The colonial
government organized and sent to the
front a fairly strong and thoroughly
well disciplined and equipped body OF
men called the northwest police, which
was distributed in divisions along the
entire line of occupation. The Vene-
zuelan government sent up detach-
ments of regular troops, and in short
order brigandage was wiped out.
One or two bloodless collisions oc.
Cured at the outset between these
forces, which, however, had no other re
suit than the passage of few more OF
less sharp and apologize kilograms be
tween Georgetown and Caracas. Their
things settled down to await the issue
of American intervention and arbitra
ton.
But it would seem that this tenta-
tive settling down" has not been
quite so complete as it might have been
1t may be that with characteristic i'm
patience Venezuela is getting tired of
the protracted delay, and is deliberately
attempting to force an issue indirectly,
But it is more probable that the from
tier officers are personally becoming
FESTIVE under the intolerable monotony
of their exile in the wilderness, and are
so spelling for" distraction and ex-
element that they occasionally lose
their heads.
Whatever the cause might be, it
seems a fact that of late there has been
some trouble between the English set
tiers along the frontier and the Veue-
zuelan guards on the other side Of the
line, which makes for the disruption of
the peace. A story in point has just

hearing was short. Mrs. Howard is in
painful condition, being badly bruised
by the blows of her husband. The judge
placed Howard under $1,000 bonds for
each charge, in default of which ne
