ACTS OF HERoISM.

"A special dispatch from Bloemfon-
tein. dated to-day, says:
The loss of the guns was attended
by incidents of splendid heroism. The
leading battery was so near the Beers
ambuscaded in the river bed that the
latter said:
1T is useless your attempting to
advance. Throw down your arms
The sergeant of the battery fearing
the other battery would misunderstood
the hindrance. rushed through the con-
voy and warned his comrades, enabling
or the gums which came into action
later.
Life Guardsmen and a gunner got a
gun out under q tremendous fire, and
four others were saved by the men
dragging them off after their horses
had been shot"
AN AMERICAN IN COMMAND.
Bushmans Kop. Sunday, April L.
The Beers. who were hidden in the
Spruit when the British guns We're
captured yesterday, were commanded
by Reichman, German American
The Beers retired this morning when
they Discovered the British scouts,
leaving two Dutch military attaches,
one of them dangerously wounded, in
the hands OF the British. All the
wounded are doing well.
Every one agrees that but for Col
onel Broadwood's splendid handling of
MS troops not member Of the force
would have escaped. The Beers are
still holding the water-works and the
line of Hills behind them.
DISPUTED POINT SETTLED.
The foregoing dispatch settles the
disputed point arising from the dis
crepancy in the dispatch from Bush
man Kop of Saturday, and Lord
Roberts dispatch of yesterday, refer
ring to the time Of the engagement be-
tween the British and Beers, which is
now shown to be Saturday and not

Sunday, as might have been inferred
from the message of the Commander
Chief.
COLONEL PLUMER WHIPPED
AGAIN.
Pretoria, Sunday, April 1.-Cannon-
aiding was again heard in the direction
of Brandford Saturday. and it is re-
ported that heavy fighting occurred
Saturday around Mafeking. 1t Is adj
ded that Colonel Plumer's relief col
umn was compelled to retire with loss.
No details have been received.
BOER ACTIVITY.
Kimberley, Sunday, April There is
great Boer activity along the Wall
river. About 5000 burghers have as
sernbled at various points between
Fourteen Streams and Christiana.
About 700 men are occupying Witrand,
north of I<lipdam, and 400 men are
laagered at Boetsap.
LONDON PAINFULLY SURPRISED.
London. April 2--The rumors of the
re-capture by the British of the seven
guns taken from Colonel Broadwood's
force, based on n dispatch to the
Chronicle from Bloemfontein. which, 1t
is said, in all probability Is correct,
fails TO compensate London for the
severe shock experienced from the
humiliating defeat sustained within q
few miles OF the headquarters of the
British army of occupation. The public
Is painfully surprised to learn that
after all that has come and gone that
British officers of high position can still
neglect precautions which the veriest
tyro might be expected to observe. and
blunder into traps which the observ-
ance of the elementary military rules
would have revealed. There is no at
tempt here to minimize the discredita-
bleness of the whole affair, so far as
the British are concerned, or detract
from the dexterity of the Beers, who
were apparently commandedb by General
Dewet. The tactics of, the burghers
were evidently excellently conceived
and boldly carried gut. and unless the
reinforcements sent by Lord Roberts
have turned the tide and re-captured
the prisoners a couple of hundred men
from two crack corps of the Household
Cavalry and the Tenth HuZZars are

STEVE ROUTE KILLED
The Bad Man was Slain by
 Chlndman.
Refused to Pay for His Meals, Went for Gun and Got Very Much
 the Worst of 1t.

Steve Roupe, well known as man of the tough description, and always seeking for trouble, was killed by a Chinaman Saturday night. Particu- lars have not been received at the time of going to press, but as far as is known here, Roupe went into the Chi naman's restaurant and dined. After dinner his bill was presented, which he promptly refused to pay. This caused the Oriental to expostulate with his customer, who went of for his gun, an old way of settling new accounts. The Chinaman, too, prepared, himself. Roupe arrived with his gun and shot the Chinaman, who in his turn shot Roupe several times. Roupe died,' and the Chinaman was dying according to the last accounts. The shooting showed the insane ferocity of the man. The first shot Roupe fired pierced the Chi. naman through the lung. Roupe had his victim held up in corner of the room The Chinaman,s although. ap- parently mortally wounded, pulled bis six.shooter ard shot Roupe through the heart the first time he fired. Then Roupe almost fell on the Chinaman, who shot him again twice, one shot scorching his shirt, so close were the men together,

DEMOCRATIC MEETING
Marcus A. Smith and tX-Chiet
 Justice Baker
Address Large Audience al the Opera House on the Political
 Outlook.

The approach of the train Saturday evening with Mark Smith and EX- Chief Justice Baker on board, was the signal for the salute of artillery, and the platform was crowded with people anxious to greet the Democratic can didate for delegate,
 Mir. Smith after a few minutes rest and consultation with leading demo- crats, addressed number of citizens from the library porch. This was the opportunity of meeting those men who were on night shift.
 At night the Copper Queen band marched to the square in front of the store and treated the assembled people to several highly appreciated selec- tions, and about 8 o'clock marched to the opera house
 This large hall was soon filled to it's capacity with an audience in which the Ladies were conspicuous. It has been the case at every meeting that the women of Bisbee have taken the same deep interests in the arguments of the opponents of political lore that has characterised the male population of the town.
 Dr. Sweet in few we'll chosen re- marks introduced Mark A. Smith who addressed the expectant audience. MT. Smiths voice, as he explained, was pretty we'll shattered by the cons tant strain of the campaign, Mir. Smith spoke of his old Tombstone friends and the affection he held for the men of this district where his home had been for so many years.
 He spoke of the momentous ques: tions that confronted them.
 The unhappy differences at the con- vention was settled. Wilson's with. drawal was arranged amicably for the sake of the party. They neither of them thought of anything but the democratic party. The speaker then discussed the various questions of the day,
 A quintette consisting of Msesrs Teeaney, Stiles, Howe Wilcox and Grady sang an original song by MT, Wilcox to the we'll known time of Tramp Tramp After this vocal treat, Ex Chief Justice Baker delivered an eloquent address in which the leading political subjects of the local, territor- ial, and national campaign were fore ibly commented upon.

MINERS ASSOCIATION.
Adopt Resolution for Appropriations
 for U. s. Survey Work.

The following are the resolutions adopted by the Southwest Miners As sociation nrging a larger appropriation of funds by the federal government to carry on geological surveys, etc., and the territories are asked to cooperate in such request:
 Whereas, The topographic, geolog- ical and Photographic work of the United States geological survey, are all considered of great value and impor- tance in connection with the general development of this district, and more particularly of the mining industries of the southwest; and
 Whereas, The appropriation 'or the carrying out of this work is so small as to prevent its prosecution with the ra- pidity desired, for the proper growth of the country; and.
 Whereas many of the eastern states are cooperating in this work, by mak- ing state appropriations to aid the na. UlOHdl kONeIHuSnl HI lulS iuNSpGi6UU tion, thus securing not only an in- creased fund from the state, but also an increased allotment from. the ap- propriations of the general government for their respective states, 1t being the policy of the geological survey to thus cooperate with the state authorities.
 Therefore be it resolved, by this as- sociation in convention assembled at Los Angeles, California, that it is our belief and desire that the federal gov ernment should make larger appropri- ations for this scientific work, and that the respective states and territories which we represent should request larger allotmsnts from the federal gov. ernment for these investigations in the southwest.
 And be it resolved that our respect i've states and territories be urged to make appropriations to cooperate with the geological survey, and that the sec. retary of this association be hereby instructed to present copies of these resolutions to the governors of Ari- zona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and California, and to their congressional representatives at Washington.

The Sheriff.

The sheriff election next summer
will be a triangular fight, there
being three announced candidates
already in the field. And the proba
bilities being that no primary or
convention will be held, they will
all doubtless run to finish.
Mr.. h. W. Hight, the present in
cumbent, has made good sheriff
prompt and efficient in the discharge
of his duties, and his friends claim
that he merits an endorsement of
one more term.
Mr. Love Webb. who was sheriff
before Mr.. Hight, held the office
only one term, and having dis
charged the duties of the office faitr
fully and we'll, bis friends make the
same claim as do those of Mr.
Hight, that he is entitled to a second
term.
Mr.. J. A. (Dock) Grove, son OF
Jno. M. Grove, is the third man
He says that while the Other two
are contending for the second term,
be wants the people to settle the
question by trying him for one term

tween the three. At the present

OPERA HOUSE.

The Opera House was we'll filed
Tuesday evening by music lovers To
hear the International operate Co.
The local management deserve
credit for bringing organizations of
merit 10 our city and the size and
character of the audience was an
evidence that they will be supported
i'm their efforts to give the theatre
going public good attractions. This
company is decidedly above the
ordinary visiting cities of our size
and gave a good performance, but
t~atuid not warrant the cutting out
of much of the music, for which the
local management was in no way re-
suonsible, and the tenor, either
from sheer Discrimination or illness
left his audience wondering whether
he could sing or not, for'he gave
little or no evidence of being able to
do SO. Should MOntegriffo persevere
along this line it will not be great
while until the brilliant reputation
earned by hard work and study will
be "A thing of the past. The balance
of the company, especially Miss
Grace Lee Carroll, gave a finished
! performance. Rhe Opera House will
I be dark until January 18th, when We
