Mr.. Brown he set up a most dismal
howl and attempted to run. He was
released and confined in a stable be-
longing to Mr.. William Rice. For
several days he would not speak, but
he was finally induced to talk. He
said his name was Levi Brewer and
that he was raised near Warfield on
the Big Sandy. He appears frightened
when strangers approach, but quiets
down when he finds they do not intend
to hurt him. His nails on his hands
and feet are like the talons of an
eagle, and he is completely covered
with hair. He told the writer that he
had supported himself by fishing and
catching game with his hands.

empire builders of Great Britain of
recent times.
Only two of that group of great men
which have given their names to deco
rate the map of South Africa, however,
are alive today. The one is Cecil
Rhodes, of Rhodesia, and the other is
the Earl of Kimberley, who at the
time of the discovery of the famous
diamond mines which have been
named after him was the colonial Sec
rotary of Great Britain.
Sir John Charles Molento, who gave
his name to the African coal mining
district called Molento, was born in
London early in the century, and went
out to the Cape in 1881. There he
took part in the relief of Blockdrift
during the Kaffir war of 1876 and was
a member of the first Cape government
eight years later. He afterwards serv-
ed as colonial secretary and ab pre-
mier, receiving his title four years be-
fore his death, which took place in
1886.
Colenso gets it's name from Bishop
Colenso, one of the most interesting
ecclesiastical figures of the nineteenth
century. AS a theologian his origin
atty of thought caused him to be look
ed upon with disfavor by many of his
church brethren in England. AS a
mathematician, however, his researches
were both profound and valuable, and
as a publicist he was usually to be
found on the side of the conservative
thinkers. Many years of devoted labor
as bishop of Natal caused even his en-
emies to respect his name, and he quite
deserved such recognition as he re-
ceived at the hands of the atlas MAX
ers.
Frere is named after Sir Bartle
Frere, who onc formed a spoke in the
political wheel of Gladstone, though,
unlike his leader, he was little in
clined twenty years ago to grant indie
pendence to the Transvaalers. Fol
some times he was high commissioner
in South Africa.

name to the town of Harrismith. while

many o fthe names on the map of

all the world in general and the Brit

so well filled up men and women do
not easily give their names to new

celebrities nowadays have to be con-

there. A further contract was made
with the Mexican government by
which Leese paid 500, 900 for the land
upon the condition that if he failed
to colonize because of the war the
government was to return $50, 900 of
the amount. This amount has never
been paid. j. R. Leese received a deed
from his father, assigning one-eighth
of the entire Is, 1000, 900 acres, and it is
this as well as the $50. 00O, 900 for
which he is fighting. He intends to
move at once through the state de-
partment in Washington for recogni-
ton of his claim.

A paper of international Importance

Mr.. ]. R. Leese of Monterey, Cal. 1t
is the original grant from the Mexi-

R. Leese and others of 18, 0OO, 900 acres

his wife, Lady Smith, has a fair chance
of one form of Immortality because OF
the fact that the military head
quarters of Natal has been
named after her. Lady Smith
was a Spanish lady who took
refuge in the British lines at the siege
of Badajos and there she met the Eng
lish officer who later became her hus-
band and so indirectly caused her to be

A BISCUIT BOX FORTRESS.

One of the oldest Notifications put
up during the South African campaign
was a fortress made of biscuit boxes
and ammunition cases at the Orange

there found themselves in possession
of hundreds and hundreds of these
boxes, and, realizing that their camp
was in a somewhat unprotected condi-

the entire camp was Enclosed within a
good high wall of this unique fortifi-

Mr.. fleWIands AXIS.

The largest audience that has as

present at the Court House last Sat

that self praise was distasteful to
him, but that his opponent had OPP
ponent had published broadcast what
purported 70 be his (Newlands) re-
cord in Congress; that those state
ments were not only misleading, but
largely untrue. He had never neg
iected public duty. When he failed
to vote on any important measure. it
WAS because of his being engaged in
committee duty, where the real work
of a Congressman is accomplished.
AS to the cry of home rule, MIR.
Newlands said the only home he owns
in the world is in Reno, where he has
resided for twelve years. He has in
