E1USI'ITAE IRNIN DERAILEU
Forced to Return to VrybGrg, the
Beers Having Torn Up the
Tracks.

Nryburg, Cape Colony, Oct. 16.-A
hospital train that started for Mari
bogo has just returned after an adj
venturous journey. 1t had reached a
curve on a culvert 700 yards south of
Maribogo and had just slackened speed
when it was observed that the rails
ahead had been upturned. The brakes
were applied, but the engine passed
onto one rail partly raised, and was
derailed. The occupants Immediately
righted the engine. At the same time
it was observed that a party of Beers
were galloping into line east of the
railway, but well on the Cape Colony
side of the border. Some of the per-
sons on the train declared that they
saw cannon pointed at the train. The
intention of the Beers was apparently
hostile. The train ran back to Nryburg
at full speed, the engine flying a white
flag with red cross.
Picks and shovels were seen lying
about, and the Beers had apparently
been disturbed while removing the
rails.
1t is learned that previous to the
starting of the train Maribo@o tele-
phcned Nryburg askin" that the train
be sent up as all was quite safe. The
operator at Nryburg recognized the
Voice as that of IN European store
clerk In view of the subsequent re-
port that the 1ioers were removing the
rails. it is believed the Beers compelled
the clerk to speak through the tele-
prone.
The nearest Roer command to Nry-
burg is laagered north of Schweizer-
renek, 20 miles distant and two miles
inside the Transvaal. The commander
sent a message to the VryEIrg railway
station that if the delivery of three
wagon loads Of meat and two wagon
leads of sugar received a week ago
were refused. the Beers would send
500 men to take them.

Among the prosperous business
men of Devils Lake is Charles F.
Cogelow, proprietor of the Gem
meat market. He came to this
city in 1890 and accepted a posi-
ton with Garner & Cleveland as a
salesman and collector. During
his seven years connection with
this firm, Mr. Cogelow acquired
the acquaintance and friendship
of a great many people. In May,
1897, he decided to open a meat
market, and although he was not
in the best shape financially for
the successful launching of such
an enterprise, he had what is even
better i first class credit and
plenty of pluck and enterprise.
During the two and one-half years
that Mr.. Cogelow has been in bus
mess for himself he has met with
that success which always crowns
an upright and honest business
career. He is now practically out
ofdebt, owns his shop and a fine
residence, numbers his customers
blythe hundreds andkeeps constant
ly adding to the list of his satisfied
patrons.
