BOzeman, November IA.
The stockmen UP in the Sixteen coun-
try are talking of getting up a wolf
hunt" with the twofold purpose in view
of cashing the hides for bounty and of
Kidding the range of the pests that cause
an immense amount of damage to them
each year. 1t is reported that these dep
redators are very numerous in that sec
ton and the idea prevails that a thor
ough hunt would break up the packs that
have selected the hills in hat section as
a particularly desirable point from which
to attack the cattle. Arrangements are,
however, only in the hot air stage of de-
veiopment, but the chances are very
good of their being carried into effect,
particularly hould a few cattle be lost
early in the season.

London. Aug. 2S, 1 a. m.-Lord Roberts's dis
patches announce what many people here take
to be the beginning of the final stage in the
South African campaign. The Commander in
Chief held a council of war with his lieutenants,
Butler French and Poe-Carew on Saturday.
and on Sunday began a general attack
General Bothas intrenched position. which
not much impression had been made.
In the preliminary operations of the previous
few days the Beers had chosen a line of defence
of great natural strength stronger. in fact, than
any they have held since they fell back from
the Tugela. Their forces were disposed along
formidable chain of hill country, extending over
a front nearly thirty miles. their hanks resting
on spurs of broken ground protected by
morasses.
The British advance began on the west to the
north of Belfast. from which place the Beers
fell back toward the Lydenburg road. Lord
Roberts reports that the Beers are making a
most determined resistance in a locality well
adapted for their defensive tactics and badly
suited for cavalry movements
Some experts think that this is really Cen
eral Bothas last stand. and that If defeated
here he will be completely crushed Lord Rob
erts's superiority in numbers is so great that
he may probably attempt to work right around
the Beers and to drive them from their position
from previous experience. it is unlikely that the
Beers would stay long enough to permit the
manRuvre to be accomplished
Meanwhile, the Beers are themselves busy in
epdeavoring TO raid Lord Roberts's lines of coln-
municatiops both in the Orange RivsTs CyoieESs
and in Natal. At Weinburg. in the neighbor4
hood of the scene of some Of General De Vets
most remarkable exploits. body Of Imperial
Yeomanry was in difficulties under an attack of
a considerable force of Beers on last Friday
They were rescued by reinforcements hastily
sent up from Kroonstad and Hebron On Sun
day the Beers again renewed their attack on
Winburg, but were beaten off, leaving among
the prisoners captured by the British Com
mandant Olivier. whose famous march from
Cape Colony through Lord Roberts's lines to
the northeast of the Orange River Colony was
one OF the notable episodes of the spring.
To judge by the fact that heavy reinforce
ments have been ordered to prepare to embark
for South Africa in the next few days. the
British War Office does not yet believe that
warlike operations are drawing to conclusion.
