In addition, the Orakzais on Sunday night

Relief for kurram Valley.
A dispatch from Smla yesterday says:
A strong column of native troops and the
Royal Irish Regiment, with four guns. I'M

started for the relief of the Kurram Val
ley forts, and another force has been sent
to the assistance of the Shinwari garrison
1t has developed that the capture of Fort
Lundi-kotal was accomplished through
treachery, and that the original report
that fight lasting two hours took place
within the walls of the fort is unfounded.
The three hundred and fifty Khyber Rifles
who were stationed there belonged to va
rious clans, and included a number of men
from the Peshawur valley. After fighting
of a desutory nature, some of the Shin
warts dropped from the walls and fled to
their homes. The Afridis on the walls
soon began to exchange greetings with
the besiegers of the fort. whereupon the
gates were opened from the inside and the
enemy poured in. Some OF the defenders
fed and others remained and fraternized
with the besiegers. The Peshawurs were
dlsarmed Six of them were held as pris-
oners, and the remainder, to the humber
of thirty, were allowed to go free
1t was this news which led 10 the dis
arming of part of the garrison at jam

Dog Catching on the streets.

From present indications it looks as if
the efforts of the village fathers to have
the ordinance in regard to dogs en-
forced would result in considerable good
as the dogs are being caught and i'm
pounded in short order, unless they have
the necessary tag. William Fisher has
been appointed dog catcher, as the du.
ties we're considered more thsn the mar
shall could attend to. Nearly a dozen
dogs have been impounded since the first
OF the month, but most of them have
been redeemed by the owners, Four
dogs whom no one appeared to own
we're shot after being advertised for sale
and no purchaser showing up.
The dog catcher created no little
amusement on Fifth street in trying to
catch canine that didn't have the tag.
After chasing up and down the street
several times a rope was finally ted
about the dogs neck and the dog catch
er with his captive started for the pound,
followed by lot OF small boys. About
this stage OF the game the owner OF the
animal put in an appearance and was
outrage ously indignant, but didn get
his dog until he paid the price and imme-
diately purchased tag.
