noon to-day and killed George Archer and

removed the powder Not knowing that IT was
an explosive she'll and thinking it merely an
armor-piercing one. he took off the cap at the
end of the orojectlle and was hammering away

the rebels rallied in superior numbers and
drove them back. The charge Of the Spaniards
