BAsUTos WANT TO FIGHT.
Are Enraged By the Indignities Of
fered BY the Beers.

London, Oct. 24.-The colonial Office
this evening published dispatch re-
ceived from the British high commits
sioner in South Africa, Sir Alfred Mill
ner, communicating a significant dis
patch from Sir Godfrey Laigden, the
British resident commissioner in Basu-
toland, calling attention to the reck-
lessness of the Basutos, who, he says,
he has been trying to calm. The resi-
dent commissioner adds:
Our policy however, has been made
difficult by the clustering of the Beers,
who have freely threatened to attack
Masuru and other stations These
threats, combined with intriguing, have
contributed to rouse excitement among
the natives. l wish to place it on rec
ord that the Beers have unwisely at
tempted to shake the allegiance of the
Basutos and Illustrate our efforts to-
ward tranquility. The Beers, therefore,
are, responsible for any connection and
for the alarm regarding native inva-
siens which now prevails

ONE COWBOY IS RELEASED.
Probable Settlement of Trouble On
the Mexican Border.

Bisbee, Ariz., Oct. 24-Intense ex-
citement has reigned among both Amer
lean and Mexican residents at Naco
today. The Mexican garrison was re-
inforced late last night by detachments
OF Infantry and cavalry from Lamarita
and Nagdalena- AS soon as the addi-
tional forces arrived the MeXicanS be-
gan preparing for an attack. They
threw up breastworks around the town,
extending to within 900 feet of the
boundary line. Several field pieces were
also rolled into position and the works
were manned by a Gordon of soldiers
with an advance line of mounted pick
cts thrown out to patrol the border and
keep a lookout for the invaders.
Babe Thompson, the recognized leader
of the cowboys, has counseled them
against making an assault on the Mex
lean works until every means has been
exhausted to secure the release of the
two prisoners without resort TO vio-
lence.
Judge Mendoza held court last night
and sent word across the border that
he had decided to release Jose Rhodes
on a bond of $1,000 The bond was
promptly made and Rhodes was sur
rendered to his friends. George NJ.
Martz is still being held, and the indi-
cations now are that he will also be
released within few hours.

Inventive Irishman's Tricks.
(Detroit News.)


At one of the +. < p NJ stations ON the
southern division of the road the agent
was known as a very progressive sort Of
fellow. always dabbling in electrical ex-
perimen'ts. and one day he hit upon a
scheme for some fun. He was an Irish
man. and Pal was considered all right by
everybody. Pat arranged a connection
from the main Wire to the waiting room
and after attaching nice brass chain TO
the dipper he connected this with the wire
from the main line, and then placed a
ground wire through the floor, which was
connected with a large stove zinc under
meath the water tank. Pat had it so ar
ranged that he could sit at the telegraph
desk W.Oh his back toward the waiting
room and by means of small mirror ne
could see just when any one began to
drink from the dipper. when he could
touch a button and send a thousand biting
streams of the electric Juice through
every Fart of his Victims anatomy. The
first fellow who took drink was a COM
mercial traveller who had been subject to
nervous chills. and he began a genuine
nervous dance when he got the Shock. and
was sure he Was going to be sick, but the
agent snickered and the drummer felt
easy. Then others followed. and the fun
was kept up for about a month. Each vi
br1tion caused the victims hand to fly in
d dozen different directions throwing the
water all over him. The operator finally
pulled the thing out to save his scalp ana
turned his attention to other feds of in
Eention

damage suit of Mark Tobias VS.. George

son, S. L. Tobias, and defendant were
in the miX-up when the old man took d
hand as peace maker.
