FLAGS OF TRUCE FIRED ON.
Continued from page ~

Colony side of the border Some of the
persons on the train declared that they
saw a cannon pointed at the train The
intention of the Beers was apparently
hostile.
The train ran back to Vryburg at full
speed. the engine flying Il white flag with
red cross. Picks and shovels were seen
lying about and the Beers had apparently
been disturbed while removing the rails.
1t is learned that previous to the start
ing of the train. Marbogo telephoned
Nryburg asking that the train be sent up
as all was quite safe. The operator at
Nryburg recognized the voice as that of
a European store clerk. In view of the
subsequent report that the Beers We're
removing the rails, it is believed that the
Beers compelled the clerk to speak
through the telephone.
The nearest Boer commando to Vryburg
is laagered north of SchweiZerrenek, =,
miles distant and two miles inside the
TranSvaal. The commando sent mes
sage to the Vryburg railway station that
if the delivery of three wagon loads of
meal and two wagon loads of sugar
ceived week ago were refused the
Beers would send 600 men to take them.
This morning. all the goods at the station
were made up in two special trucks.

such action being taken. Saturday
evening, at Brunswick, mt the meeting
If the managers Of the three teams in
the league. What the schedule is is
not yet made public. When asked for
it, yesterday, Manager Pnilbrick said
that the schedule will not be made
public until it has been approved by
III" faculty.
That the three colleges in the league
are worried over Bowdoins action is
we'll known. There has been no end OF
talk over the matter. Several Bates
men said that there is prevailing
opinion in Bates that Bowdoin has
taken the preliminary step toward en-
tcring the league of the larger colleges.
Several Bowdoin men had not heard of
such a movement
In brief. the situation seems to be
this: After the trouble over the men
to be disqualified Bowdoin drew out Of
the league. Colby had agreed to play
a game with Bowdoin Ivy day. the
most important day in Bowdoins so
cial lite. When Bowdoin pulled out of
the league Colby considered all games
cancelled. although she had afterwards
agreed to play game Ivy day. even
after Bowdoin had pulled out of the
league. Later Colby re-considered her
agreement to play but agreed to play
for a consideration. That agreement,
according to Bowdoin. was not kept up.
AS the result BOwdoin considered the
breach unsp0rtsmanlike and has abso-
lutcly refused to have anything to 10
with Colby.
Colby. on the other hand. claims that
through withdrawing from the league
~ Rowdoin, all games We're cancelled
and therefore Bowdoin could not hold
Colby 70 play.
There is one thing that has not been
made known until recently. that is
colby'S offer to reimburse Bow dom for
MI financial loss sustained through the
Ivy day game or to play another game.
next spring. This offer was made by
the Colby athletic committee through
Manager Philbrick. and it was hoped
Eowdoin would accept the offer ana all
differences settled. This part of the
meeting of a week ago has been kept
Very quiet until recently.
1t was hoped that Bowdoin would
accept this offer and thus remain in
the league. When the BoWdon mana
ger, John White. went back to Bruins
wick. 4 week ago. he had this offer IN
his head. The Bowdoin student body
refused to listen to this offer. claiming
they had all they wanted Of the league.
The arrangement of the schedule
with Bowdoin out of it sets the minds
Of the Colby men at ease. for there has
been a current rumor on the campus
that a tri-league was to be formed
with Colby out of 1t.
