Media Pa, April 70 Suffering from
bu, lot wound in her lung. which will
probably canso her death, Miss Sarah Dra-
per WAS taken to the Chester Hospital to-
night, and the authorities of this borough
are endravoring solve the deep mystery
which surrounds the shooting.
Miss Draper is u young woman who re-
sides here, The fact hat she had been
shot became known when DR.. SChUi was
called to attend her injuries.
The DhyGicnn found that bullet WAS
imboddcd in hor lang. He made hur.

Miss Diapers injuries are Of Charac or
that will probably result fatally. lilo
promptly ordered the victim to 10 re-
moved to the hospital Chester.
From this nature Of the wound It was
apparent that tho bullet was uf u largo
Calibcr.
DR.. Schotf questioned the women close

time she refused to say anything. Final
ly. when she was taxed with having at
tempted to commit suicide. she emphatl-
Cally denied that she had shot herself.
Miss lraueI eyndhL all further ett0lts to

BATTLE AT
@KAREE SIDING.
!
The British Demand The
Punishment of Gen=
eral Methuen.

London, April 2O.-The report Of
the fighting at Karee Siding, six
miles north of Glen, contained in a
special dispatch from Bloemfontein,
: to-day may be the first news OF the
progress of the British advance on
Pretoria.
But even If this were an unim-
portant skirmish there are many
other indications that Lord Roberts
is either starting or has already
started for the northern goal.
A despatch from Cape Town, I'M
der to-day's date SAYS: The CEN
sorship restriction has been great
ly increased owing to the move
mcnt of the troops. v All the de-
spatches bear traces OF the siren
uous efforts of the correspondents
to give their papers an inklng of
what is on foot.
The Beers south of Bloemfontein
are reported to be retire atng.
Large commands were seen April
10, near Thaba N'Chu, moving to
the north.
London. April 1o.-Hand in glove
with the Chartered Company, which,
under its Royal charter, has so
long managed South African affairs,
and which is managed by Cecil
Rhodes, General Lord Methuen has
thus far escaped punishment for
his laundering at Modder River and
at Magersfontein, but now it seems
that the bolt is about to fall
Since the publication of Lord
Roberts stern dispatch, sweeping
away all that fame had given to
General Butler and Warren, the
clamor against Methuen has grown
louder every day, the British people
demanding that this man, too, be
made to suffer as have the others Of
his class.
In the War Office is now the re-
port of Lord Roberts upon the
operations at Modder River and at
Magcrsfontein, but the officials have
thus far refused to publish it.
Since the structures on Butler and
Warren have been made public,
however, it is very probable that
popular demand will force the
publication OF Roberts condemna-
ton of Methuen, for it is said that
the Field Marshal's structures upon
him are even more severe than upon
Butler or Warren.
~ tn
generals, as well as to Methucn, is
the punishment Just inflicted upon
Colonel Croton, who has been placed
on half-pay.
On this officer dcvolved the COM
mand at Spion Kop when General
Woodgate fell, and he directed the
operation there until Thorneycrott
was appointed to take charge.
London, Friday, April 20. News
from the front this morning consists
of futhcr rumors that the Beers
have abandoned the siege OF
Wepener and have retired to
wetsdorp, but this is unlikely, as
nothing is said Of the approach of
the relief column which, owing to
heavy rains, is making very slow
progress.
General Darlington, who is sup
posed to- be leading a column Of 5000
mounted bushmcn to the relief OF
Mafeking, has arrived at Bera
from Natal.
The only news reported is of a
few outpost skirmishes in the neigh
borhood of Biggarsberg.
A special despatch from Blocm-
fontein. under yesterdays date,
says firing is reported to be in pro-
gress south of karee siding, six
miles north of Glen.

Continued from Tenth Page.

said the witness impressively. There is
a suit pending against her in Florida on
behalf of my brother, e. b. Drought and
myself. and the amount of that suit and
the amount of the suit i'm this court make
up but small proportion of what she
owes US to-day"
MIR. Leaken cross-examined the witness
at length. He managed to show that
some payments which the witness said
we're made by him for Mrs. Woodbridge
were not apparently included in the notes
as Drought had also stated, but in a re-
ceipt to the defendant which was exhib-
tied in court. The witness stuck to the
statement however, that she had never
paid him in cash, and that her payments
were always by note.
The plaintiff introduced number of
letters from the defendant to Drought,
which showed that they were at one time
something more than the best of friends
The letters also contained illusions to a
mum Der of business transactions. Sweet
heart and other terms of endearment
were not uncommon expressions, and the
defendant listened to them with the same
grimly reminiscent smile that had ap-
peared on her face when she read and
identified the letters.
When the plaintiff again rested, the de-
PENDANT introduced f. H. Barnes of High
present in an adjoining room when the
conversation. between Mrs. Woodbridge
and Drought occurred, when the receipt
which had played so prominent part at
the morning session was given. He had
heard some part of the conversation and
had then come out into the presence Of
the plaintiff and defendant. Mrs. Wood
bridge had read the paper to him and he
had then read it himself. Droughts sig
nature was already attached. but it had
been acknowledged by the plaintiff in his
presence.
Cross by Judge Twiggs the
witness lost something of his positive
hess. In the first place he stated that
the conversation occurred in 1899, instead
of 1898, which is the date of the receipt.
He was positive that the paper he was
called upon 10 identify was that he had
seen on the occasion of the interview be-
tween the plaintiff and defendant but
he persisted that the in erview he remern-
bered was in 1899. The witness was GER
alterations, though he found it difficult
TO answer the questions of Judge Twiegs
as rapidly they were asked
At o'clock the case went over until
to-day, when it is possible that it will be
concluded. With the defendant contend
ing that the plaintiff is suing upon notes
which he has confessed in writing have
been paid or destroyed, and the plaintiff
answering that the alleged confession of
payment or destruction was never signed
by him. the case has in IL interest and
excitement enough.
