British Killed and Wounded.

London, OCT. 21.-The list of casual.
ties issued by the war Office today shows
that in the battle between Glencoe and
Dundee yesterday one Colonel, three
captains and five British Neutenants
were killed and one general, one COL
onel, three majors, six captains and
nine lieutenants were wounded. Cen
eral Symond's wounds are considered
mortal.
The list Of officers killed and wound
ed show that while the British victory
was complete, it was bought at heavy
price. This heavy loss among the off.
GERS was due to the valiant conduct in
sticking to the traditions Of the British
army and refusing to use cover OF which
the men availed themselves during the
storming Of the Boer position. Among
the rank and file, the hussars had seven
wounded, the artillery one killed and
three wounded, Leicestershire regiment
one wounded, Kings rifles seven killed
and sixty eight wounded. Irish fusi-
leers fourteen killed and thirty wound
ed, Dublin fusileers four killed and
four wounded and Natal police two
wounded.
The Outlook publishes a dispatch
from Capetown dated yesterday alleg-
ing the Beers are not likely to make
any further considerable offensive
movement. The correspondent says:
"They are utterly demoralized and
the men refuse to take the risks. They
are growing to distrust the aged Jou-
bert. The artillery is badly handled
and the administrative department. is
revealing marked defects. -

BRITISH LOSS HEAVY
Many Of It's Officers Killed
in a Battle with the
Beers.
WOULDN'T HUNT COVER
The Beers Are in Most DemOra-
lized Condition - Another
Battle Fought Sunday.
WOULDN'T HUNT COVER

London, Oct. 81. The earliest dis.
patches regarding yesterdays battle
conveyed the impression that the whole
affair was over il a couple of hours,
the British artillery silencing the Boer
guns and infantry and then simply
charging right over the hill. According
to latest advices, however, the battle
lasted eight hours and nearly seven
hours elapsed before the last Boer gun
was put out of acti on.
The Irish fusileers and the King e
rifles meanwhile had advanced to the
assault, and we're shooting their way
up the hill, driving the Beers from
shelter to shelter until final rush of
the British carried them to the summit.
A curious fact was that several times
lull occurred in the fight on both sides,
the British infantry apparently taking
a breathing space in the stiff climb and
the Beers also holding back their fire.
The magnificent practice Of the Brit
ish guns was an immense help and the
success Of the assault was greatly due
thereto. Once the British bayonets
showed Oh top Of Kopje the Beers re-
treated and when on descending the
other side they found British battery
and British cavalry outfianking them,
the retreat became rout. The British
guns followed and, unlimbering from
time to time, threw shells into the fly
ing foe. g.. ..a..
A heavy rain began to fall during the
afternoon. which naturally impeded the
artillery operations. It was coinci-
denoe that yesterday was the anniver.
sary of similar feat Of British arms
in India when the Gordon Highlanders
stormed the heights Of Dargai.

made gun plays on several different oc-
casions and was supposed to be danger
GUS when angered. Custer has resided
in the Musselshell country about eight
years, being located OH an unsurveyed
government strip Of 100 acres and made
his living by working around for differ
ent ranchers and stockmen Those who
know him say he is inoffensive and
was never known to have had any
trouble.
Custer has not yet secured counsel,
but will probably engage John T.
Smith Of Livingston as he stated to
The Gazette reporter that he wished to
get him if possible.
The time for holding Custer's pre-.
liminary has not yet been determined,
but will not be until the latter part of
the week.

uondon, Oct. 22.-The war Office
published the following dispatch today !:
"White, commander in Natal, to the
secretary Of state for war: Filed Lady
smith, Dot. 90, 1920 a. m.-In the &C.
tion at Flandslaagte yesterday the
troops were under General French,
with Colonel Ian Hamilton command
ing the infantry.
IT was present in person from $3.50
to 6 80 p. M, but did net assume direc-
tion Of the fight, which was left in the
hands Of General French. Although
desultory fighting took place earlier in
the day while reinforcements, sent out
later, on asoertaining the enemy's
strength, were arriving from Lady
smith. the real action did not begin
until $3.50 p. m. At that hour the
Beers held position Of very exception
al length. consisting Of rock hill
about mile and half southeast of
Flandslaagte station.
Sat 8 80 p. M. our guns took posi-

Jim Hills Trainmen will Attempt to Tie
UP His Road.
St. Paul, Mimi, Oct. ia general
strike on the Great Northern will prob
ably occur within few days. It will
include conductors, engineers, dremen,
brakemen and switchmen, and the men
expect to tie up the road from end to
end.
In the great strike of FIVE years ago
the conductors held aloof, but they
have been brought into the present
trouble by recent order requiring
them to pay for bonds covering damages
to trains under their charge.
The list Of grievances given by the
men is a long one. and they claim to
have been unable to secure anything
like satisfaction from the managems ant.
Since last March grievance committees
have been almost constantly in this city
trying to reach some agreement with
the railway officials, but without re-
suit.

"The Boer guns, although often tenn
porarily silenced, invariably opened
fire again in the slightest opportunity
and were served with great courage.
After severe fighting, our infantry car
ried the position. At 6 80 p. m. this
was accomplished, the enemy standing
his ground to tile last with courage
and tenacity. the Fifth lancers and a
squadron of the Fifth dragoon guards
charged three times through the re-
treating Beers in the dark, doing con.
siderable execution.
"We captured the Boer camp, with
tents, wagons, horses and also two
guns. The Boer losses were very
heavy, including number Of wounded
and unwounded prisoners. Among the
former are General Jankock and Pit.
joubert, a nephew of Commander Cen
eral Joubert.
One goods train, with supplies from
Glencoe camp and nine English pris-
oners, was recovered Our loss, re-.
gret to say, was heavy. It is roughly
computed at $50 killed and wounded.
The collection of the wounded over a
large area in the dark and the arrange
ments for sending them in has thus far
occupied our time and attention. A
full list will 60 to you later.
Our wounded and those of the en-
eny are now arriving by trains. Be.
sides Beers, we have many Hollanders,
Germans and prisoners Of mixed nation
alities. The behavior Of our troops
and the colonial force was admirable. :"
Advices from Cape Town say that a
wholesome fear Of rising in Basuto-
land prevents the Beers invading Cape
Colony, and that on the other hand
there is considerable excitement at
Masuru and other Basuto points arising
from native apprehensions Of Boer at
tacks.
1t appears that colonial news is in
some mysterious way supplied to the
Beers and that their movements depend
upon intelligence communicated
through natives.

Big Crowd Visits the State Metropolis
to Welcome Returning Soldiers.
A portion of the Billings oontin-
gent, which went to Butte to attend
the reception yesterday to the returning
soldiers, returned home this morning.
The day in the state metropolis was a
most disagreeable one, heavy rain
having fallen the night before which
made the streets nigh impossible. The
crowd was the largest ever seen at any
gathering in the state before. Excur-
sion trains were run from all directions
and various estimates placed the num-
ber Of visitors from $4,000 to 10000.
All Butte took holiday and the streets
therefore were jammed all day long.
The parade did not move until late in
the afternoon and then many did not
take part. It was reported last night
that the parade would be given in it's
entirety today,

Frank Custer Kills Max Hill
debrandt on the Mus
selshell.
CAUSE A TRIVIAL ONE
There We're No Eye Witnesses
Custer Refuses to Talk for
Publication.

The Musselshsll country, in this
county, records another shooting affair
which took place about seventeen miles
below the Musselshell P. O., in which
Max Hlldebrandt, who runs band of
sheep for his father, was killed BY
Pedro Sfsuhsta, known as Frank Gus.
ter, German rancher
Friday night about 9:30 o'clock a
telephone message was received at the
sheriff's Office from Fred W. Handel Of
Musselshell P. O., stating that Frank
Custer had killed Max Hildebrandt and
that Custer had given himself up.
Deputy Sheriff Harding notified Coro-
ner Townsend and together they started
out that night at about 10 o'clock for
the scene ct the trouble. which they
reached Saturday evening, holding an
inquest at about 10 O'Clock p. N. The
coron4r's jury rendered verdict to the
effect that the deceased. Max Hide
brandt, had come to his death by the
gun shot wound at the hands Of Frank
Custer. The officials returned with
Custer, who now occupies cell in the
county Jail, and the body of Hide
brandt.
There were no eye witnesses to the
shooting and Custer is the only one
living to tell the tale. As soon as he
had killed Hildebrandt he went down
to the RI ranch, about six miles away,
and told them all about the trouble and
shooting, giving himself into their GUS
tody. At the coroner's inquest he told
very conflicting story, which it is said
makes his case look darker for him.
He refused to talk to The Gazette re-
porter yesterday morning SO that his
side of the story is left untold. From
those who heard the testimony at the
inquest, it is learned that Custer had
had a couple Of coyote pelts stolen from
his house and he suspioioned Hide.
brandt, as the latter had been seen
around the place few days previous
by some Of the cowboys in that neigh
borhood. who had apprised Custer of
the fact. Custer told these men that he
was going up to Hildebrandt's, a few
miles from his place, to talk with him
and find ont if he had taken the pelts.
He rode horseback over to where Hill
debrandt was herding his sheep. Gus.
ter hailed Hildeb1andt and asked him
about the pelts, when one word led to
another in which the men called each
other liars, which later resulted in the
death of Hildebrandt. It is said BY
Custer that Hildebrandt had drawn his
Winchester rifle from its soabbard and
was aiming at him, when the former,
acting in self defense, shot him with
his revolver, 80 caliber, the ball en-.
tering the mouth Knocking out front
tooth, and coming out at the back Of
the neck, breaking the neck. When
Custer went down to the Ri ranch and
gave himself up, lie stated that he had
only fred one shot, but his revolver
contained three empty cartridge shells.
The above are the facts as far as known.
Hildebrandt has been known as
rather eccentric and is said to have

had been in swimming he came to US
and said:
say. you fellows, if you will give
me that tin and iron and stuff you
have; I'll teach you how TO chew
The proposition struck US as being
very fair, particularly as he agreed to
furnish the tobacco. Well, we were
quite willing. so he brought some old
Canadian cut down to a sand bank by
the river He divided the stuff into
three parts and gave us each one.
Then he said:
Now you must do exactly as 1 say,
and you must do it right away or
you'll never learn to chew
Now then he shouted, hold it
up"
We held it up"
" Put it in your mouth he yelled"
we put it in"

I'VE gulped it down, and then that
young rascal fairly rolled down the
bank with laughter, While we soon
