Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
TUCSON, A. T., Nov. 27.-No little
excitement was created this morning
by the escape from Jail of four of the
worst criminals confined there: Ed
Hogan, who escaped some time ago
with Pearl Hart but was recaptured; !;
Louis Chavez, awaiting trial for the
and Augustine Bran and Jesus Pre-
ciado. indicted for smuggling. By a
pre-arranged plan they caught Under
Sheriff Paul and Jailor Hopley off
their guard. The officers were over
powered and locked into cells, after
which the criminals walked out of the
Jail and made good their escape. Sheriff
Wakefield and deputies are after them
and have hopes of taking the jail birds
before they get over the line.
News has been received here of the
destruction of the Breeze sffi c. at Ben
son by fire. In addition to losing his
material and building, Editor Sipes
lost sSOO in greenbacks. An adjoining
building occupied by Chinese
laundry was also burned. 1t is sup
posed that the fire was incendiary.
The Tucson team has just finished a
series of games with the Phoenix base
ball club, winning two out of the three
played. Jones pitched for the Phoe-
nix club, while Armstrong and Dunn
| pitched for the Tucson team. Had
Jones received better support the
Phoenix team might have won the
series.
Great preparations are being made
at Phoenix for the carnival. The rail-

BRITISH FIGHT BRAVELY
One Of the Hardest And
Most Trying Battles In
the Annals Of the
British Army

trial of strength between the Beers
and the British in western Cape Colony
occurred yesterday. General Lord
Methuen's column, advancing to re-
lieve Kimberley, was opposed by the
main Boer force at Modder river, 70
miles south of Kimberly. The follow
ing is the official report from General
Walker.
CAPETowN, Official Report, Nov. %.
General Methuen reconnoitered at
O'Clock this morning aud found the
enemy strongly entrenched and con-
cealed across the Modder. The Rener al
had no means of outfiauking the enc
my's position as the river is full.
faction commenced with the ar
tillery, mounted infantry and guards
on the right, and the ninth brigade on
the left. I attacked the enemy's po-
sition with widely extended forma-
tion supported by the artillery. found
myself in front of the whole Boer force,
comprising 5000 men, two large guns,
four Krupp guns and other'pieces.
"After desperately hard fighting,
lasting ten hours. my men, without
food or water, under the burning sun,
made the enemy quit his position.
General Pols-Carew was successful in
getting a small party across the river,
gala atty. assisted by three hundred
sappers.
"An the men engaged behaved
spleudidly. It was one of the hardest
and most tying fights in the aonals
of the British army. Special mention
is due the artillery. The naval
brigade rendered great assistance from
the railway"
THE ENGAGEMENT INDECISIVE.
It appears that the British, excepting
the nall party which got across, are still
south of the river, thus making the
engagement indecisive. List of casual
ties in the engagement is not received.
WILD EXCITEMENT IN LONDON.
LONDON, Nov. 24.-General Me-
thuen's report of the battle az Modder
river causes wild excite nent here.
The engagement is recognized as the
most important SO far of the war and
the public and the penny papers are
irving hard to max it outua tremendous
victory. The advantage gained by the
British in the all day fight, is however,
doubtful, for after the engagement
thew were still south of the river.
They must cross this to get to Kim
bsrley.
Methueu's loss in minority engage
ments before the Modder river battle
were extremely heavy, his casualties
amounting to 429. His casualty list
of Yesterdays big battle will doubtless
be appalling. Anxiety to see this list
brought crowds to thewar Office, but no
information about the loss can be
learned.
A dispatch from Windsor says Me-
thuen wired that the fight was the
bloodiest of the century. The British
shelled the enemy out of the trenches
and then charged with terrible results.
News of a renewal OF the engage
ment is expected today.
BRITISH LOSS AT BELMONT.

East OF the Allegheny mountains,
The damage was slight, as the crop
was fairly well protected by snow.
The same is true of Ohio and Michi-

the outlook is very unfavorable. In
Missouri considerable damage has
been sustained. Reports from Kansas
are decidedly unfavorable, and the loss
II that state is quite serious. In Tex

generally anticipated. In the north

rather good condition, but in the

To Test the Wonderful Merits of the Great nodern
Discovery. Swamp-Root, Every Reader May Have
Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free BY Mail.

The way to be we'll is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness, it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bowel-clearers fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is. the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp
Root is the most perfect healer and
gentle aid to the kidneys that is known
to medical science.
