sketch of JOubcrPs Career.
Gen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert, command
ant general Of the Transvaal forces, bet
ter known as Piet Joubert. or "slien Piet'
tSiim Peter). was born about 6S years ago
He was descended from an old French
Huguenot family which settled In South
Africa many years ago. He was born in
Cape Colony, but was taken by his par
ents, when seven years old, to the Or
angs Free State. where he was taught
from early childhood to shoot straight and
hate the British.
He Is described as having been utterly
fearless OF schooling. he had but little
and he never saw a newspaper until he
was 10 years old. In spite of this. his am
bition prompted him to read the few books
he could obtain. and he succeeded In OBJ
tanning a fair knowledge of history and
languages.
Favored by the Natives.
In consequence OF the ACQUISITION OF
Natal by the British his family moved from
Natal and settled in the Transvaal Soon
afterwards he became a sburgher OF the
South African republic and daring fight-
er. IL was claimed. In hts behalf. that he
could lead body OF men more successfully
against hostile natives than any other
man In the Transvaal He came TO be
so feared by the natives that the knowl-
edge that no was at the head of n punt
tive expedition usually resulted In their
surrender.
II was during these wars with the ma
tives that Joubert became acquainted with
Paul Kruger. and the two men became
bosom friends He was elected vice presi-
dent OF the Transyaal in 1896, defeated Sir
George Colley at Majuba hill In 1881 anc
acted as president of the republic In 1888
A. during Kruger's absence In Europe.
Gen. Joubert was always In favor OF the
use of force instead OF diplomacy and
President Kruger on several occasions had
great difficulty In repressing his hot-head-
ed colleague. notably In 1879. when Jott-
bert, with Kruger and Pretorius, was
planning the rebellion to overthrow British
rule In the Transvaal. The result was
MaJuba hill and the practical independence
of the Transvaal.
II was Jouhert who organized the army
OF the South African republic later ON
dividing the country into II military de-
partments. and each OF these departments
into smaller divisions, with comman andants
field cornets and lleutenants OF various
ranks In charge.
According 20 the generals plans, every
man became a trained soldier without leav.

at hand To such n point OF perfection
was the system carried that within As

No Remains Of the Negro Burned at
Limon, Col.
MOB DID ITS WORK THOROUGHLY
Colorado Officials Deprecate the
Lynching-Sheriff Blamed.
NEW LAWS MAY RESULT

L1MON, Col, November 17-It is un-
likely an inquest will be held over the re-
mains of Preston Porter. jr.. the self-con-
fessed murderer of Louise Frost, who was
burned at the stake by mob at Lake sta
tlon last night In fact, the coroner can
find no remains upon which to hold an In
quest.
few men remained late last night at the
spot out on the prairie where the murder
was committed and avenged, and renewed
the fire again and again, until every YES
tige OF the negro was consumed. The iron
rail to which Porter was bound will be
left standing
About 700 people witnessed the lynchtnE.
No women were there, but many of them
went to the scene before the fire was light
ed and remained while the negro was led
from carriage to carriage for inspection.
Their vote was a unit for burning.
A mound OF earth has been piled around
the iron rail, SO as to cover the ashes. 1t
will remain as monument in sight of all
passing trains. Can account of the lynching
of Porter will be found in another column.)
No Move to Prosecute Lynchers.
DENVER, November 17.-No measures
have been considered with a view of prose-
cutting any members of the mob that
burned Porter, and 1t is unlikely that any
will be taken. Governor Thomas refuses
to express an opinion in regard to the
affair.
District Attorney McAllister of the 1u-
dicial district in which Lincoln is q part
said that prosecution of the leaders would
be utterly futile owing to public sentiment.
He condemned the removal of Porter to
Lincoln.
Clergymen Of this city unanimously dep
recate the method pursued in the lynching,
but some OF them say the negro should
have been hanged or shot.
A movement to reinstate capital punish
ment in the statutes Of Colorado has re-
ceived an impetus from the murder Of
Louise Frost and the lynching. A bill with
this object in view is now being drawn and
it's advocates, it is said, will make ag-
gressive fight for its enactment at the COM
ing session of the legislature Criminal as
sault probably will be made a capital
crime.

and brother, respectively, of the murderer,
