ssBULLET CATCHER" is KILLED.
Hatal Was Struck by q Leaden Missile
Used by Mistake.

New York, Oct. 3O.-Michael Hatal,
the magician, known as ''the bullet
catcher" who was accidentally shot
while giving an exhibition at an east
side hall, is dead at Bellevue hospital.
Frank Benyo, who, under HataPs in
structions, fired the fatal shot at him,
was discharged by Magistrate Ohm
stead in the Yorkville police court,
Hatal having made an ante-mortem
statement generating him from
blame.
Hatal was cabinet-maker by trade,
but devoted much of his spare time to
conjuring. His prize trick was catch
ing bullet supposed to be fired at
him from an old-fashioned musket
The leaden bullet chosen by somebody
in the audience to be fired, when the
trick was properly performed, was
never placed in the gun, a harmless
one of wax, which the heat Of the ex-
plosion would melt, taking it's place.
On this occasion the leaden bullet got
into the musket somehow, and Benyo,
who had gone from the audience to fire
the gun, shot the cOnjurer near the
heart.

Unless the present attack is merely
a feint to>occupy the British while the
invaders are cutting off communica-
ton southwark, the battle which may
decide the issue of the war, so far as
fighting in the open is concerned, as,
s.1lliess the 1900 or 10000 Beers about
Ladysmith are able to destroy the r.
900 British there, they can hardly
hope to cope with General Buffers
army corps. So it may be expected
the Beers will return to the attack of
Ladysmith, after they are. beaten off,
so long as they have a gun in position
and the men will ing to face the Brit

that the news of their success will

rendered and that the troops are now
prisoners Of war.
London, Oct. 3O.-The dispatch of
the Associated Press from Ladysmith,
which was sent at express rate, came
through in the remarkable time of two
hours. 1t shows the crisis which the
present stage of war operations has
reached and that the expected attack
on Ladysmith by the joint Boer forces
has opened.
A dispatch from Durham, timed 9:55
In the morning, supplemented the AS.
ISOLATED Press dispatch with the in
formation that the Boer shells were
chiefly directed at the station and that
no damage was done up to the time the
message from Durham was forwarded
Matter of Great Surprise.
That the heavy guns of the Beers,
from which so much was expected,
should be silenced so speedily as indi-
Gated in the associated press dispatch
from Ladysmith Is q matter Of great
surprise but the subsequent advance
OF the burgher force on the British
left flank shows the attackers were in
NO way dismayed thereby, and were
still full of the same self-confidence
and daring they have already exhibited
on various occasions.
Apparently, the Beers have concen-
trated for supreme effort at Lady
smith. They have withdrawn their
forces from other points, which they
consider, momentarily, to be of less
Importance. The ease with which they
reorganized the German corps, which
was almost annihilated at Glands
1aagte, and General Maier's column,
shattered at Talana hill, show how
great are their recueprative powers
and their fertility of resource. The
perseverance the Beers have shown in
transporting heavy ordnance and post
ing it in commanding positions has
forced admiration even from their enc
mics.
