terview today Daniel. the 15year-old
son of Alden Powers Of Litchfield, ad-
mitted that he shot his cousin. Everett
TAYLOR by accident. He put cap on
the gun and snapsed ii at Everett to
scare him. IT was loaded with DUCK
shot and Daniel didn't know It. For a
week Margaret Taylor said her son
Everett had ben afraid of his counsin,
Everett was a little boy IL years Old,
while Daniel is credited with being du!l
and rather vicious. The coroner decid-
ed that an inuuest was unnecessary,
but neighbors want one. So does Mrs.
Taylor.
Neighbors tell many stories about the
pranks Of Daniel and his pecularities.
He said he hid the body behind the
barn after shooting Everett because he
did not want any one TO see ii before
his father returned. He had just time
to throw the body down behind the
barn when his father and mother drove
into the yard.

this morning has been attempting to
explain the situation in Natal furnished
by the COMMUNICATIVE OF the
forces. Field Marshal Lord Wolseley,

statement Is now said to have created

that what the official note called Gen.
Yule's retirement would be more accu-
rately described as IA change Of posi-
ton for tactical reasons" and that the
alarm for the safety of the wounded is
not justified. Ii is rurther explained
that the wounded could not be moved.
but the fact that they had to be left

made a strategic movement TO the rear,
shows that the suspense of the public
at the absence Of subsequent news is
amply justified. and that the heavy
fighting on Friday and Saturday per-
maps IS Urfy prelude to still sterner
work.
SECOND BOER ATTACK.
In some quarters the view is taken
that the second attack of the Beers
has actually occurred and was so sue
cessful that Cen. Yule's withdrawal
was imperative and urgent, to the ex-
tent OF compelling him TO leave his hos

the more sanguine express the opinion
that Gen. Yule far from retiring has
in reality advanced to meet the attack

The afternoon papers here sharply

the Natal situation. They say II has a
distinct resemblance to the statements
Of the Spanish ministry when prepar-

probably an overstrained view but
