the red people have been patronizing
the divorce court to an extent cal

green with env. The other day broke
the record at oacoma for Indian wed
dings, and also added a new feature
to the Indian divorce business.
The Congregational minister was
called upon to perform the marriage
ceremony for Charley Long Turkey
and Miss Kate Parted-Hair, both full
blood Sioux. Next came the mar
riaRe of Anton Rencounter, halt

lear, full-blood Sioux maiden. But
the climax was reached when Charley
De sheuquette and Helois Felicia pre-
sented themselves as candidates At
the altar of Hymen. Both are half
breeds and good-looking. Accom-
panying these two was rather nice

piest member OF the party.
Miss Philbrick insisted upon being
a witness in procuring the license
She also claimed the right to give the
blushing bride away. All of these re-
quests the bridal party gratefully
granted. After the ceremony Miss
Philbrick kissed both bride and groom
in truly down east" manner and
congratulated them in the warmest
possible way. Only the clerk of the
courts knew the full history of the
case, which he told by simply turn

London, Jan. 9.-The Daily Mail has
che following, dnted January 6, at
noon. from Frere camp:
"At3 O'Clock this morning very
heavy firing began at Ladysmith. 1t
lasted fully four hours, and must have
meant either a sortie by the British or
a determined attack on the garrison by
the Beers. Our shells could be seen
falling on Umbutwhna hill and the en-
envy were replying.
''Besides the cannon reports, there
were sounds indicating small pieces OF
artillery in action. The fighting must
have been at closer range than has been
the case up to now.
"Our naval guns at Cheveley sent
their usual fire into the Boer trenches,
but there has been no further move

The Daily Telegraph has the follow

"A very heavy bombardment went
on at Ladysmith from daybreak until
this morning. 1t is believed that an

"Our big naval gun at Cheveley

as they were leaving their Colenso
lines. General Butler has ridden on
to Cheveley with his staff"
A special dispatch from Frere camp,
dated Saturday evening, says:
General White photographs that he
defeated the Beers this morning. They
crept up so close to the defending forces
that the Gordon Highlanders and the
Manchesters actually repulsed them at
the point OF the bayonet."

In the light of the newly announced

Ike persuaded to abandon their clay diet
