THE FIGHTING NEAR GRAS pm.
Brilliant British Victory Claimed
OF E2asiAiaus

bFiIIldht
Storming of Boer Positions.
Orange River, Monday, Nov. 27.-The
British arms have achieved a brilliant
victory The enemy, strongly entrench-
ed, held range of hills commanding
both sides of the railway at Roof
Laagte, near Gras Pan. The Lanca-
shires, under Lewis, reconnoitered in
an armored train on Friday. The Beers
shelled the train, killing Lewis and a
private. General Methuen advanced his
column under a detour and bivouacked
for the night at Swinks Pan, three miles
from the Boer position. At dawn the
advance began, the guards forming the
reserve. The column debouched on the
plain eastward of the Boer kopjes. The
Boer guns opened fire. Two batteries
of British artillery, posted on each eide,
shelled the Beers, practice being good
on both sides.
The Beers stuck tenaciously to their
positions, firing steadily and accurate
ly. The duel, which continuously be-
came hotter, lasted three hours. The
Boer shells wounded several men of the
naval brigade. Finding 1t impossible to
displace the Beers by artillery, General
Methuen resolved upon an infantry at
talk A brigade of infantry, including
the Yorkshires, the Northamptons, the
Northumberland and the Lancashires,
with the naval brigade on the right,
gallantly stormed the Beers position in
the face of whitening fire and carried
hill after hill, the brigade under Colonel
Money capturing the main position
against terrific fire, but suffering Sc
verely.

negroes at a Sunday school celebration at
Piney Grove Church, in Meriwether coun-
ty, last Saturday.

dreds of negroes had gathered at this
church to attend the celebration, and all
was moving along smoothly until two of
the brethren became engaged in a diff
Guilty over a matter about the size of
dime.
The friends of each party sided with the
contestants for rightful ownership of the
disputed property, and when the first blow
was struck pistols were drawn, a regular
battle followed, in which four negroes
were shot and severely badly beaten up.
II is said that pistol balls were flying
thick and fast, and it is a mere accident
that many negroes were not killed. Four
were so badly shot up that the officers
have not as yet arrested them. The sher-
if. however, has arrested several of the
rioters who are now in MerIwether county
Jail.
