A CASE IN POINT.

A striking example of how the
sainted and sanctimonious Intelli-
gencer ,misinforms it's readers is af-
forded in its account of the Mineral
county Democratic convention, held at
Keyser April 2Sth, and printed in the
Intelligencer of April Goth.
The Keyser correspondent of the In
telligencer is H. G. Johnson, one of the
editors of the Keyser Echo. The Reg
lister is informed he wrote the Intelli-
gencer's account of the proceedings.
/. that account he said:
Mineral county Democrats to the ex-
tent of no less than Seventy-five, met in
mass convention at the court house in
keyser yesterday afternoon. The conven-
ton, in the language of wag, was har-
monious-nit.' From the very beginning
of the meeting there was an atmosphere
that forbode a warm time, and before the
convention was over the warm time
came.
And in concluding the correspondent
remarked:
Colonel Davis then objected to the Chi
cago platform resolution. Other objections
were offered and the result was that in
the Wind-up of one of the woolest conven-
tons ever held in this part of the world
only three resolutions-those endorsing
Bryan, Flournoy and Foulk-were adopt
ed"
And the Intelligencer headed this up:
"Wooley nvention.-Mineral County
Democrats Have a General Mix-up."
Now comes to hand the Mountain
Echo, OF Keyser-Mr Johnson's own
| paper-with an account of the conven-
! ton, and in his headlines he says; "a
representative and harmonious conven-
tion-harmonious and confident" and
! in the following account of the pro-
| ceedings there is not one word nor syI-
liable to indicate that anything but
peace and order prevailed One truth
full account was written for home con-
sumption, where everybody knew The
facts. An untruthful account was sent
to the 1ntelligencer and joyfully print
ed by that paper, that the public
might be misled. It's we'll enough to
expose those things once in while

WARRENT0N, Sunday. May 6.-Yes-
terday Gen. Burton drove from one to
two thousand Beers from billy posi-
tons at Rooidan, where they awaited
them. They retreated after stiff fight
ing, leaving a number of dead on the
Held. The British casualties were
slight. Gen. Barton is stiIl pursuing
Windsorton and Klipdam have been
evacuated.
Gen. Paget's brigade is attacking
the rBoer position at Warrenton.
The engagement yesterday was severe,
and lasted from nine in the morning
until four in the afternoon More than
once the British infantry were oblig-
ed to engage the Beers at close quarters
and the Beers only retired when their
retreat was nearly cut of.
The British losses were five killed
and % wounded-mostly Welsh fusi-
liers. The British took a batch of
prisoners, including the Swedish ambu-
lance which they allowed to return.
The Beers in their hurried retreat, left
thirteen dead
To-day Gen. Paget made a strong
demonstration against the Boer posi-
ton east of the bridge thereby pre-
venting Boer achievements going TO
assist in checking Gen. Barton's adj
vance

1t is marvellous that nobody on the
British side was injured.
Gen. Hutton started early to find
the drift on the west. When this was
discovered it proved to be strongly
held and protected by two guns. The
British speedily engaged the Beers,
who enfiladed the dismounted firing
line with a maxim, but Gen. Hutton
pushed forward his own pom pom and
a galloping maxim and forced the
Beers ito leave the river bed. The en-
counter was terribly hot. Later the
whole British force crossed the river,
threatening the Boer right. The Beers
must have received about the same
time news of Gen. Hamilton's occupa-
ton of Wineberg.
About sunset detachment of TWEEN
ty-six Australians who had crept I'M
seen toward the river bed, found them
selves near a kopje occupied by the
Beers. After firing they fixed bayo-
nets and charged, capturing the kopje,
of their own initiative. This was at
nightfall. Early in the morning it was
discovered the whole Boer force had
fled Gen. Hutton during the night got
two squadrons to blow up the line
near Swaldsel.
The British discovered yesterday at
every hundred yards along the rail
way concealed small packets of high
explosives. The Beers had destroyed
three bridges over spruits, between
here and Brandfort, but in every case
it was possible to make detour.
The Beers appear to be fighting with
much less spirit. 1t is reported that
they are commanded. by Gen. Lucas
Meyer.
The bridge over the Vet river is COM
pletely destroyed.
Gen. Hutton captured maxim and
took twelve prisoners.
