B0ER GUN SILENCED
BY METHUENS CANNON

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Sun has the
following from Modder River. dated De-
cember Is and delayed in transmission:
General Polc-Carew, with the Ninth
Brigade. a squadron OF LanCers. tho Sew
enty-ffth Battery, with howitzers aud
four naval twelvc-pounders and 47-inch
naval guns. made a reconnaissance early
this morning. The naval guns opened
fi-e a SO q m. The whole brigade de-
ployed on the plains The howitzers and
naval guns searched tho Bocr trenches
and forced the enemy 10 unmask TWO
guns. The naval contingent dismantled
one OF these, but IL was impossible TO
touch the other which seemed TO disap-
pear as soon as II was discharged. The
British returned without sustaining any
casualties. General Lord Mcthucn direct
ed the operations from horseback. HIS
wound Is almost healed
Numerous stories are told In camp OF
incidents that o, .rrcu 81, .uc ua,,.c &C..
Magersfontein. \ corporal of the Sea
forth Highlanders was taken prisoner.
His rife was taken from him and he wCs
kept IN the trenches In charge OF a Rcer.
When the others retired the corporal
seized and drew the bayonet from the
rifle of the Boer who was holding him,
stabbed his captor, took his Mauser and
bandolier and afterward came back into
the British lines bearing the trophies
The behavior Of the artillery was be-
yond praise. Although harassed the
greater part of the day by the enemy's
rife fire officers and men served their
guns and smoked their pipes calmly. The
officers showed pluck beyond even that
for which they have always been cele-
brated. The Marquis OF Winchester re-
fused to lie down and insisted on moving
along the line instructing every man as TO
the direction i'm which he should tire. Dur
ing the greater part OF the day he seemed
to bear charmed life. Several bullets
passed through his helmet. Finally one
pierced his spine.
The artillery was engaged for twelve or
thirteen hours. The number of roucds
fired by each battery averaged 1910 The
example of calm endurance displayed by
the artillery was magnificent.
An informal arrangement vas made l.u-
der a flag of truce between the enemy and
the British artillery in front that the FIR
ing should cease during the collection of
the wounded on both sides. a little later
the enemy. about three miles off. attempt
ed TO reach the railway for the purpose
of destroying a naval gun. They were
promptly sEelled and forced To retire
The Beers then opened from the east
ern range a perfectly correct and heavy
bombardment Of two guns Of the Seventy
fifth battery. The latter could easily have
silenced the Boer gun. but they never
moved, remaining eloquently silent under
heavy, accurate fire. Their conduct so
won the admiration of the enemy that
they suddenly ceased firing as a tribute
OF respect TO British honor.
A Boer doctor says the enemy lost 1900
in killed and wounded.

rAs Post Fan, water Pouar.

For some time rumois of the sale of
the water power at Post Falls have been
Ia circulation and many conflicting
stories are told regarding the use to
which it is to be put. Il is a fact that
negotiations are pending for the sale OF
Mr.. Posts holdings and the old com.
panies who hold smaller interests have
also been approached on the matter of
selling. One report is that the property,
IL the deal goes through, is to be i'm
proved and the power transmitted to
Spokane. Some claim that the COrbin
syndicate, which proposes to inaugurate
an extensive irrigation system on the
prairie, Is the company that Is after the
property, and that the power will he de-
velOped for the purpose Of operating an
electric car line between here and Spo-
kane. 0thers claim to have inside in
formation TO the effect that tile Bunker
Hill and Sullivan Mining Co. is back Of
the deal and wishes TO establish big
smelter plant below the falls. This is
the most probable, rs representatives of
that company are interested in the
negotiations. and remark was dropped
by one OF them TO the effect that il the
deal went through line OF ore barges
would be established between this place
and Old Mission. However, the persons
interested in the deal are very cautious
about giving out information. Either
Of the two last named propositions
would prove of vast benefit to Post Fails
and this entire section Of country. All
our neighboring town needs TO make it
a prosperous hive of industry is the de-
velopment and utilization of the re-
sources nature has SO generously be-
slowed upon it, and it is only question
Of time when the hopes Of the most
sanguine will be realized.
