TIE MAR IN AFRICA,
British aad Hocr Have Many Minor
engagements.

Conflicting reports como rom the
scene of the BritisA-l;oc~ war in South
Africa. and it is hard to determine az
curately just what i, t~1&uspiring
there. Wednesdays news, via Cape
Town, says that General Nulc has per
formed = brilliant ss:atc-ctical move
mcnt. BY y swift march to the south,
leaving Glencoe empty. he has effected
a junction OF his forces with those OF
Sir George Stewart White. slightly to
the north OF Ladvs!n;th. The two arc
now in position to offer battle. 4 TEL
'egram from General White to The war
Office in London. docs not say that he
has joined forces with General iu!c.
but that he moved out from Ladysmith
with a strong force to cove the move
ment Of Iulc's column. The enemy
was discovered about seven miles out
from L"d ysmith in Il position of great
natural strength west of the road.
General White says he confined his
efforts in occupying him and hitting
him hard enough TO prevent his taking
action against Nulc's column.
The war Office dispatch seems to
realize the worst fears. General Yulc
has abandoned not only Dundee. but
Glencoe also. and SO far as present news
would indicate. he has neither Joined
Genera White nor reached L.aIyH,nith.
1t is evident frGn, 1hn onn.;,I die
patches that both Commandment OIL
bcrt's column On the north and the
Or"n%" Free State troop, on west now
occupy strong positions. and that moth
ing binders the Bocrs from following
up i;rneral Eulc's retirement and ret
ting around Ladysnith from the south
east. Until rcinforcencnts arrive it
seems that General White is Obliged to
concentrate on Ladysmith.
While the Beers have failed TO take
advantage Of strategic positions Sc
cured. owing to the Incompetence or
haste of their leaders. the British have
no cause for congratulations over the
results of the Natal operations. They
have suffered heavy losses in men and
their victories have practically gone
for moth rg. the whole OF northern Ma
tai now being abandoned to the Beers.
A few moro victories like those of Glen
coo and Elandslaagtc would leave the
British without officers.

Constable j. e. Case of Syracuse was
called out into the country about ninc
miles southwest, where he captured a
crazy woman that had escaped from
the asylum at Hastings about two
weeks ago. The unfortunate oma
WAS discovered husking corn in q
field by the side of the road. She
would hnsk out q row, laying the corn
in little piles, and then cross the road
and repeat the operation there. The
woman is apparently a bohemian, and

watched. She refuses food and no n

Tuesday. Lon Mosley, Il baker who

TT Norfolk and the cnamourcd pair
came to Fremont. The mother of the

lice asking him to hold the pair until
she could arrive. The couple, very
pcnitent. stayed in the custody of the
police all night and in the morning
faced Mrs. Luke, who came in bright

agreed with her daughter that fourteen
years is Il proper age for a girl to wed
and merely wanted to see that the mar
riage ceremony was properly ccle-
bratcd. After receiving the parental
blessing the nuptial knot was tied.
