ENTERTAINED A NOTABLE.
Capt. George Fraser of H. NJ. A. Paid
COOdland a Visit.

Capt. George Fraser of H. NJ. A. Paid
COOdIand a Visit.
Saturday afternoon the east bound
train deposited a very notable person
age upon the tOwnsite and the people
we're not long in finding it out. He
was Capt. George Fraser of Her Maj
esty's army, travelling in America in
search of knowledge and, incidentally,
in the interest of the New York Jour
nal.
The gallant English captain accord
ing to his own ACCOUNT had seen a
good deal of history making events
and had participated in the many At
rican wars England has waged, such as
the Zulu, DerVish aud Matabele wars.
He had also accompanied Stanley on
his tours aud explorations in the dark
continent. He was present at the Sa-
moan disaster, in which so many war
ships we're wrecked upon the coral
reef, and was personally acquainted
with many great notables including
Weyler of Cuban slughter house nota-
riety, Gen. Miles of our own army, the
Khedive of Egypt, DR.. Jameson and
Cecil Rhodes of TFausvaal invasion
fame, the King of Greece, aud many
others, including, of course, the English
nobility and army and navy officers
He was required to be present at the
Queens Jubilee on the 3rd of June
after which he was promised a further
furlough to explore South America
and write his impressions of that CONT
nent for the Journal.
The captain was a very interesting
talker and was constantly surrounded
by an admiring crowd of tuft hunters.
The captain left Monday for days
stay at Colby after which he was to re.
turn aud take part in a grand vol
hunt that was to be gotten up in his
honor, Tt was not necessary, of course
to settle all the little bills he had con.
tracted or to take up the several little
outstanding I. 0. Us. He could do that
on his return. Several subscribed lin
variably in advancel for the Journal
The captain has not returned anC
probably will not. His address, how
ever, is Pigshire, Eng. All mail to be
sent in care of Queen Vic.
Since his departure those who were
practicing up on "God Save the Queen,
"Roast Beef of Hold Hengland," and
other barraok songs, have got back tC
"Just Tell Them That He Saw Me-"
