RELIEF OF HEFAkING
Continued From First Page.

Colville, with the Ninth division, Is on the
north bank. The cavalry brigade, under
Gen. French, is posted on the left front,
and the mounted infantry, under Col.
Ridley Martin, on the right front.
The country around consists of wide
grassy plains, broken only 3by ridges and
isolated kopjes. A body or the enemy
has taken up a position on one of the lat
ter, fiat-topped hill to- the north OF the
river, five miles beyond Gen. French, who
today took out horse artillery and shelled
them. Another force, 1900 strong, holds
an isolated group Of kopjes south of the
Modder, and in front of the British
mounted infantry. Their position is suf1
rounded on all sides by level plains, over
which the Beers must make their way in
order to reach the river. AS a conse-
quence their position appears precarious
in the extreme. -
'"The veldt is now in beautiful condi-
ton. Water is plentiful, supplies being
obtainable not only from the river, but
also from numerous small springs. The
health and spirits of the troops are ex-

ed infantry have been accommodating the
enemy's positions. There has been little
fighting"

Lady of Lourdes, located on the East
side, and he admitted the theft, saying
that he had been goaded to the act by

The mans wretched appearance and his
manner excited the sympathy of the
court, who only imposed a sentence of
thirty days, it being the intention to
look up his antecedents at Valley City
After he had passed back into the bull
pen Inspectors Smith and Hicks, who had
been making some inquiries on their own
hook, ascertained that he had once been
arrested on the charge OF robblng

He admitted the arrest but said he had
been exonerated. The inspectors then took
him to secondhand store on Washing

do certain work assigned to him in the

Gen. Roberts, that you will do as well
as you can Gen. Kitchener asked the

for the Job. "A fortnight was the an

you will do 1t in week she said; or you
will be sent home fThe work was fin
