WANT COWBOYS.

Washington-The attention Of the
state department has been drawn to the
situation on the frontier of Arizona,
where Mexican and American troops
are confronting each other and trouble
is threatened as the result OF the killing
oi some Mexican soldiers by cowboys.

deemed OF sufficient Importance to war
rant presentation of the facts set out
today to Acting s .cretary Adee by Senior
Santobanos, the resident member of the
Mexican legislation. Mr.. Adee in turn
has turned on the governor OF Arizona
for statement of the conditions on the
border Extradition proceedings can
take place directly between the govern
ors of the states without recourse to the
state department of either the United
States or Mexico
In the present instance some Of the
parties to the killing of the Mexican Off
GERS have escaped across the line into
Arizona, and as serious resistance may
be offered to the effort to secure their
arrest and return, the assistance Of the
United States government may be in
voked.

Teachers and scholars were doubtless
both pleased this morning to listen to
the call to them, coming from the school
bell, which pealed merrily forth from the
High School building.
While the opening OF the schools has
been delayed the present term, yet there
promises to be great interest and sue
cessful school term. On account OF the
new building not being Il ished only a
portion of the various grades were open
ed this morning for work. The grades
that are at work today are Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and High school.
There is big attendance of scholars in
all the grades and everything seems to
be moving off in very smooth manner.

AFRICANDERS WILL FIGHT.

London-All dispatches from South
Africa this morning talk Of the immin-
ence of hostiliiies and preparations for
them,
In Johannesburg, it seems to be talk
en- for granted that the Orange Free
State has approved President Kruger's
,te and promised active assistance in
event of war.
An official telegram posted at the
Volksrust says the Transvaal with the
assent of the Orange Free State. repudi-
ates the British suzeranity and adheres
to the seven years franchise.
At Cape Town, it is reported that Mr..
Hofmeyer the Afrikander leader sent q
communication to President Steyn, of
the Orange Free State, entreating him
to do his utmost to preserve peace, but
he received in answer the words, "too
late"
All the military men agree that it is
out of the question to- begin hostile
operations before the middle OF next
month, no rain having fallen and the
Veldt being still bare.
The Morning Pest says: The Beers

A telegram yesterday stated
that the statistician of the depart

states in his report of that day
that the fact that the preliminary
official estimate of the crop has
several times turned ont TO be
underestimated has been due to
failure to keep pace with rapid
expansion Of product Of area.
The product of area of last year
is found to have been nearly 25,
100000 acres, and this year about

bility that the final returns will
show present acreage below rather
than above the amount stated. In
estimating total crop of 9,5O0O,N
600 bales, a substantial and amp'e
allowance has been made for any
tendency to take pessimiStic view.
The actual indications at present
point to a crop less than 5000, =

day, NCv 8, to Otton, six miles
west, for the purpose of captur.
ing Santa Barbara, the renel

ilo. Heavy rains preceded the
movement, and the roads were, in
places, impossible. The same
night Col Carpenter, with the
Eighteenth regiment and Battery
ii of the Sixth artillery moved
westerly y from Jaro on account of
the roads, and the entire moves
ment was hampered by lack of
proper transportation. Co &, of
the Twenty. sixth regiment had
the only fighting. When three
miles out of Jaro this company
charged the rebel trenches and
three Of the enemy were killed.
One American was wounded.
Gen Hughes, Nov 13, occupied
Tagbanan and Guimbal, on the
southern coast and also Cordova
ln the interior. The enemy did
not oppose Gen Hughes advance.
Recent orders from AguinaIdo
found in the trenches said: "Do
not oppose the Americans ad-
vance. Burn the villages as they are
evacuated. Divide the forces into
bands of 20. Harrass the Amer
lcans on every occasion"

PLENTY OF FIGHTING TO
DEFEND MAFEKlNG.
Interesting Accounts of Assaults
by the Beers. Faiied, Though
Calamity Made.

London, Nov 16-A dispatch
to The Daily Mail from Mafeking,
sent by way of MagaIapve because
the runners sent southwark were
unable to traverse the Boer lines.
gives an interesting account of the
fighting during the last week in
October.
The dispatch describes Gen
Cronje's great attack of Monday,
the details of which have already
been csbled from Col Bedcn-
PowelPs official dispatches.
"The end came SAYS the cor
respondent, ''after five hours
fighting. The enemy retired, be-
ing heavily beaten for all time as
far as Mafeking is concerned. 1t
was the hottest day of the siege
and the firing was terrific, the
Beers evidently recognizing that
the way into Mafeking, if any, is
by kopje, which was gallantlv
defended by Col Walford's men.
The garrison is jubilant, while the
Beers have been hurled back in
disorder on their lager, ard will
have to content themselves with
long range bombardmcnt unless
they are strongly reinforced.
"The enemy lost heavily. For
hours after their fighting line had
been rolled back two wagons went
slowly along their position, pick
ing up the dead and wounded.
"All the men were killed hv
bullets or shells. The lookout
tower was shot to pieces, while
even the saddles of the horses
were fearfully battered about.
The whole place was simply
smashed up by the concentrated
fire of seven guns and q thousa
rifles.
"The Beers at fiji st held on to
their advance pluckily, but they
could not live when they came to
short range, the men being shot
down at 800 yards.
"rhe enemy is expected to
draw off early in order to defend
Pretoria. There is still no news
from the south. AS | send this
message off, 900 Beers have gone
south with wagons and have com,
menced shelling."

business was quickly settled; af.
ter which Mr. Haselden accused
Mr. Sellers of being the author of
the above mentioned article. Mr.
Sellers emphatically denied the

At this moment Mr. Ben Sellers,
who had been 10 the post office,
walked out on the platform. AS

ball, which was fired from a SO

Mr. Sellers in the left hand, enter

fingers, breaking the thumb and
coming out. Immediately after
the second shot Mr. Sellers pulled
his pistol and opened fire upon
the occupants of that buggy.
