Ouumwa, Ia, Jan. 3l.-Charles
Spencer farmer living six miles
north of Loyilia, deliberately held his
infant child, robbed Of its clothing, out
in the piercing cold Monday until it
was frozen stilI. His wife stood calmly
by and watched the deed. The atrocious
crime is ascribcd to a fit Of insanity
caused by a religious fever which had
stricken the twain. When neighbors,
who learned Of the awful deed after a
terrific battle, captured Spencer and
his wife, they claimed they had been
warned by God that they must make n

A CRUSHING DEFEAT.
british Troops Capture SpfOn kop
After severe Fighting and Then
Forced to Retire.

London. Jan. 81. - Gen. Buffers an
nouncement of the abandonment of
Spon Kop has depressed the British
public. 1t is feared that he has met
with more serious repulse than has
been made known. London papers con-
slider the situation in South Africa very
grave and urge the sending OF more
troops. Seven days of fighting have
left the main Boer positions intact and
Gen. Buffers army zoo weaker.
London, Jan. 24.-Gen. Butler re-
ports the retreat of the British forces
across the Tugela river. This is re-
garded in London as the most Sc
rious defeat in the campaign in which
they have found almost nothing but
defeat. The Beers say that the Brit
ish lost 1 500 killed at Spion kop. The
London Times says 1.-The catastrophe
is almost without precedent in our
military history, and indeed, without
parallel except the surrender OF
Yorktown"
London, Jan. 30.-There is very gen.
eral belief here that the British forces
in South Africa will be concentrated for
an invasion of the Orange Free State.
Ladysmith may be abandoned, the re-
lief of Gen. White and his army of
about 5000 being considered quite hope
less. The list of officers killed, wound
ed and missing, given out by the war
Office, is a formidable one, and shows
the British ranks have suffered terri
bly,.
London, Jan. 31.-While there is lit
tie news of operations in South Africa,
it is believed Lord Roberts is planning
an invasion of the Orange Free State.
The orders for the mobilization of the
British feet and the seeming inclina-
ton to delay the sending of troops to
the Cape seem to indicate fear on the
part of the British ministry that trou-
BILE NAV break out nearer home.
