tribute to the Irish. This fence became
dilapidated, and the question was not
the acquisition of more territory, but
who should repair the boundary line.
One day last July the Irish forces,
consisting of John brennan. Sr., and
three sons, among whom was the de-
PENDANT, Charles brennan, invaded the
BOer territory to arbitrate the boundary
line matter. They arbitrated with B.
M. Dreisbach, chief of the Beers. The
arbitration was not very successful, and
hostilities broke out on short notice.
The Beers claim that the Irish were
the aggressors. AT any rate before hos
tilities and progressed very far Dom
Paul Dreisbach was hard pressed by
General Roberts brennan, who had
charge of the Irish campaign General
Butler brennan, the defendant and one
of the other Drennans. The fourth
brennan was holding himself in re-
serve.
At this juncture Boer achievements
emerged from the barn in the person of
Frank Dreisbach. The reinforcements
quickly made a flank movement and at
tackled General Roberts brennan from
the rear, diverting his attention from
on the Irish forces were divided.
AS the warfare progressed General
Roberts brennan and his antagonist
worked their way towards a neighbour
ing creek, while Dom Paul Dreisbach
and the rest of the Irish forces fought
their battle where hostilities first
opened.
The battle between the latter ended
without serious losses on either side.
While the other contest was still raging.
General Butler brennan recOnnoitered
the position of the enemy which was
opposing General Roberts brennan and
saw that Roberts was getting the worst
of it,
Butler planned a surprise, which he
executed in such a manner that it re-
suited disastrously to the Beers. Sc
shape of club from a "go-devil," he
made a hasty advance upon the rear
of the Boer forces in the person of
Frank Driesbach, and smashed the
This was decisive. Other Boer rein
forcements, who had arrived in the
meantime, at the command of Dom
Paul, succeeded in capturing Butler
from behind and holding him until
peace was declared.
When the Boer forces picked up their
wounded they found him insensible. He
remained so for some time. and spat
blood much of the following night. AT
present he cannot hear with his left ear,
and his mind is not as bright and clear
as it was before he was injured.
The following day Dreisbach, ST.,
went before George P. West justice of
the peace for Silver Lake township, and
swore out a warrant charging Charles
brennan with assault with intent to kiln
Frank Dreisbach. but when the consta-
bic went to serve the warrant, Dren-
nan could not be found. Nothing more
was done about the matter until in
September, when brennan return home
and gave himself up
brennan was bound over to answer
to the charge in the district court, and
his trial began today. Several of the
Dreisbachs have told their version of
the fight on the stand this morning,
and neighbors of the family have been
called in to prove that Frank Dreis-
bach, the boy who was injured is not
near as bright as he was before the
fight.

Frank Dreisbach Now Seeks
ReparatiOn In Court.
Dozens OF Witnesses Testifying
In the Case.

The entire north end of Silver Lake
township is in attendance at the dis
trict court today. The court house cor
ridors are swarming with people who
have been summoned from that locali-
ty to testify in the trial of Charles E.
brennan, who is charged with assault
with intent to kill on the person of
Frank Dreisbach. Between twenty and
thirty witnesses have been subpoenaed
on one side or the other, the defense
having a little the best of it so far as
numbers are concerned.
The trial is the outgrowth of a boun-
dairy line dispute between the Irish and
the BOers-the English are not mixed in
in this time-and the victory seems to
have perched on the banners of the
Irish. The history of the struggle, as
told by the Beers on the witness stand
today, is something like this:

REV. WAGNER TO LEAVE.
Pastor of English Lutheran Church
Given Farewell Supper.

Rev. A. E. Wagner. who has been
pastor of the English Lutheran church
in Topeka for the past five years. has
resigned his pastorate and expects to
accept another further east in the near
future. The resignation is effective
February /.
The members of the English Lutheran
church do not wish to have Mr.. Wag-
ner leave, but it is his belief that after
a pastor has been in one place for a
number of years he gets into rut and
it is his duty to give way to a newer
man. Mr.. Wagner believes that he has
accomplished his work in Topeka, and
his resignation is for the purpose of al
lowing a new pastor TO come in.
He has not yet decided definitely up
on a location, but he expects to go to
Altoona, Pa. The church here has not
extended a call to any other pastor.
A Pennsylvania supper" was given
last evening by the membership of Mr..
Wagner's church as a sort of farewell
reception to him and his family

The jackson Benefit.

The game Of baseball yesterday be-
tween the Stars and Hogan's Minstrels
was very erratic from start to finish,
as the score, 10 to s, shows. Although
the Stars won, 1t was not because Of
their skill in field work, stick-work or
base running. They lacked all these
essentials of good baseball. A few
stars were in evidence Sherman and
st. Clair of the darEtown brigade did
most excellent work, while Elston, Cro-
well and Moore of the Stars need not
60 unmentioned. AS to the other play
ers 1t was a toss-up whether their next
play would be good, bad or indifferent.
OF the two batteries, the home team
had the best, although Aston and
Sherman did some sood work.
The batting of the home team was
very heavy at times. a few ont field
flies were made and tire. bag runs the
outcome.
Following is the score by innings:
