right at Kimberley.
A dispatch to the Morning Post from
Kimberley dated October II, via Orange
river October "a. says:
AN armored train was engaged this
evening, one Of our men was killed and
two trucks Of dynamite were removed from
the town for safety and were blown up by
the Beers. The Boer loss is uncertain.
The Boer artillery moved around, trying to
draw the force from covering the town.
1t was a small engagement, but nothing of
Consequence has happened.
I'VE are completely isolated. but as safe
as a bank Not one man has left. Rain is
approaching.
"Our troops met the enemy cutting the
line today, and a Maxim gun on the train
did good work and cleared away the
wreckers.''
