HIS OWN ~CARELESSNESS.


The jury called by Coroner William
Gray to determine the cause of the
cause of the death of n. S. Lord at Tie
Siding Saturday has rendered a verdict
to the effect that Lord died from shock
resulting from internal injuries caused
by his own carelessness while in the
performance of his duty. And further
that no blame can be attached to any
party" The verdict is signed by J. A.
Coktfair, Gus Johnson and E. C. Holli-
day.
Lord suffered a ~frightful death. He
was employed in the shaft that has
been sunk in the middle of the long
tunnel being constructed by the Union
Pacific through Sherman hill. He was
ascending the shaft in the cage regu-
larly used for that purpose and carried
in his arms a bundle of drills ten feet
long. These became loosened in his
grasp and some of them caught under
a timber of the shaft. The cage as
cending slowly, he was bent over by
the drills and forced down upon a
bunch of small drills that were pro-
5ecting upward between his feet. Two
or three of these penetrated the lower
part Of his body and mangled him ter
ribly. When the cage reached the
mouth of the shaft he was found to be
so badly hurt that he died two hours
later. Lord was Sc years old.

orally regarded as imminent
No diminution Of confidence in Lord
Roberts is felt, however. and the pub
lie Is ready to believe that he has good
reasons for not mentioning General
Cronje in the official dispatches. Prob
ably he Is in no hurry TO end the sit
uation which is daily bringing in
small parties Of Beers in Il vain en-.
deavor to reinforce General Cronie.
These he can deal with in detail.
Lord Roberts has already captured
over 500 Beers and at this rate he will
soon have quite a respectable array
Of prisoners to hold as hostages for
the 1000 British already in Pretoria.
General Cronje's refusal to accept
the offer Of Lord Roberts regarding
the women and children indicates
either that the position is less desper.
ate than has been supposed or that ne
has been able to dig an absolutely safe
place for them.
Everything goes To show that Cen
