To R0bbing Her Husband Before

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Jan. 23.-The case
Of Mrs. Alice Jones, who, with
George Stevenson, eloped to Eng
land last August, was called in court
yesterday for trial. Stevenson imper-
sonated John Jones, the woman's hus-
band, and going to the Office of real
estate dealer the clippers negotiated
mortgage for 5000 on Mr.. Jones
property. With this money they fed
to Europe, but when they arrived at
Liverpool they were arrested and later
brought back to this country. Mrs.
Jones was able to procure bail and was
released Stevenson was sent to Jail
and at his trial pleaded guilty to for

In the meantime the wronged husband
forgave his wife and she was taken

part. We soon discovered that the
Beers still occupied the range of hills
in force, their position being very
strong. The range Is intersected by
steep ravines and many approaches
very difficult of access.
Today the Beers who were driven
from their trenches yesterday took
cover in Dongas and behind the rocks
with which the hills are strewn. The
forces, therefore, commenced the task
of driving them out and set to work
with good heart in the early morning.
Much firing tooA place, and our firing
was slow, but gradually British pluck
told its tale, and the enemy fell back
to another kopje. We swarmed on and
occupied 1t, and then the attack recon-
menced with the utmost gallantry.
The country simply abounds In hills
favorable to guerrilla warfare, and our
task Is an arduous one. Nevertheless,
It is being gradually accomplished.
Whenever any of the enemy were OBJ
served taking up fresh position our
field batteries poured in showers Of
shrapnel and the rapid movement Of
the guns, followed by accurate shoot
ing, must have greatly distressed them.
The enemy were on the defensive al
most the entire day, save once, when
they attempted to outflank our left and
were signally checkmated. They re-
lied almost entirely on rifle fire. A few
shells were fred from heavy piece
Of ordnance, but these fell harmless.
We now occupy the lower crest on
the left. and are converging slowly but
surely to the Boer center. The Boer
loss is unknown, but must have been
heavy. Their kllleu and wounded are
carried away to the rear rapidly.
Strong rumors are in circulation that
the Beers are retiring. The battle will
be resumed tomorrow.
The British in other districts in
South Africa continue inactive. Lord
Methuen's $4,000 men remain behind
their works. General French's 1000
at Pensburg were reused on Sunday
by general alarm that the Beers
were attacking, but 1t turned out that
there was no basis for this. General
Gatacre Is quiescent at Colesberg.
