BOER STORY OF FIGHTING.


BOER CAMP. UPPER TUGEI.A, Jan.
N.-After Commandant Botha checked
the British advance yesterday morning, 1t
was expected that there would be no fur
Their action until tomorrow. This after
noon. however. signs were discerned Of an
intended movement in the British north
ern camp
When the heat, which WAS more fright
full than any yet experienced, had worn
on, the British cannon started in full
force. and the infantry advanced In ex-
tended order. q r.. 5 ss,ea.
Gems. Botha and Cronjs held the high
hills ever which the road to Ladysmith
passed. When the Mauser fire opened
pandemonium of sound filed the air. The
vindictivs crash of lyddite shells the sharp
volleys of Lee-Metfords and the whip-like
cracks of the Mausers were interspersed
with the boom of the Boer Maxims. The
battle ended with darkness. but not with
out evidences Of execution among the
British that was manifest at sunrise.
Field Cornet Ernest Emilio was killed.
nor did the generals escape unscathed.
At the central position Swarzkop, where
the other road to Ladysmith crosses the
hills, the British advanced from low kop-
jes on the banks Of the Tugela unmolest-
! 3D. Then they entered the zone Of the
Mauser rife, and although their naval
guns kept up the usual terrible racket
the advance was stopped and the British
had to count out their dead and wounded.
Commandant vilkoen and two burghers
were knocked senseless by an explosion
: OF lyddite. but Commandant vilkoen re-
covered. Field Cornet Hebron was
wounded ana on refusing to surrender was
shot.
The loss was probably insignificant
They complain that expansive bullets in
Mausers were fred In the field, and fat
nosed bullets with Lee-Metfords The
Beers admit that sporting Mausers were
occasionally used. but they deny the
charge regarding expansive bullets.
Not q shot was fired by the Beers with
cannon or rife at the Swartkop position
this side of the river. One thousand in
fantry and battery advanced into the
second row Of low hills between tho repub-
licans and the river. Heavy cannonad-
. Ing proceeded at a range of 1900 yards,
but the Beers maintained the silence OF
death. This must have staggered the
British. as the advance was stopped and
|. this morning they retired to their old
positions.

Drakensberg ridge, a strong patrol was
sent to reconnoiter. Mistaking the sig
nails. the scouts and patrol proceeded to a
kopje. from which a terrific rife and
Maxim gun Are suddenly opened The
Beers lost fourteen killed and twenty
wounded. The British loss was probably
insignificant.
Bombardment OF Boer positions at
Swarskop was resumed yesterday. chief
ly from battery brought across the
river. In the afternoon the cannonading
became exceedingly brisk. and under
cover their infantry advanced in three
lines to ascend row OF kopjes. which
they occupied at nightfall. but later they
retired to their old position. During the
night a score of shells were fired by the
British and a balloon was sent up to spy
out the Boer positions. The naval guns
renewed the bombardment this morning
from new position, but without results
The British positions are old Chively
camp, near Colenso. central position at
Swarxkop drift. where they hold both
banks OF the river. and a point higher up
in the direction of Zunckles. where they
have bridged the river and established an
immense commissariat On the summit of
the terraces at Swarzkop they have
placed five naval guns and have brought
field artillery across the river to a small
kopje on the northern bank whence they
keep up an incessant and terrific can
nonade on the Boer trenches.
Since the beginning of the week COM
munication with the different positions
has been kept up under the ordeal of this
cannonade. the casualties resulting from
this being heavier than those occurring
at Colenso. One Of the shells from a
naval gun killed father and son of the
Free staters who were chatting at the
time. Strangely, neither had any visible
wounds.
Fighting Around Colesburg.
PRETORIA, Jan. A.--A dispatch from
Colesburg says the British attacked the
Boer positions there this morning There

"The wind blew a passenger off my

"But l didn't know It until three
years after the occurrence" he con-
tinued. "He was ticketed for South

Soon after his last question / missed
him from his seat Later in the day
he was still missing, but his overcoat
was on the back of the seat.
IL asked other passengers IL they
had seen him leave the car. No one

coat, and turned it in, making a report
on the case. The company held 1t for
some time, and when no inquiry was
made the company advertised the coat
