Mysterious Disappearance of q
Minnehaha County Furmer Leads
His Friends to Suspect Foul Play
or that He Is Insane.

Jneasiness exists over the mysterious
disappearance last week of John Bundy, u
prominent and we'll to do farmer of Well
ington Township, Minnehaha County. He
is a veteran of the civil war, and when he
disappeared he had in his possession his
pension vouchers, upon which he expected
to secure payment as soo as he reached
Sioux Falls. He was driving to Hartford,
presumably for the purpose of taking a
train for Sioux Falls, when last seen.
Since that time all trace of him has been
completely lost. His home associa-
tions were very pleasant. Owing to the
fact that he a few years ago disappeared in
a similar manner and did not return for
about a year. leads SOM to believe that he
has again wandered away while tempor-
arily insane aud that he will return in due
time. In other quarters it is believed that
he has been the victim of foul play. Ills
relatives are divided as to the cause of his
disappearance, some holding to the murder
theory while others think he has wall
dered away while temporarily insane.
Bundy is II years of age. He owns a
large farm and considerable stock, and is
worth fully $4,000.

about 100000 in the treasury which Is
available for reduction of the bonded debt,
and would be applied to that purpose in
case any OF the holders Of state securities
were willing to surrender them.
II has been estimated that the bonded
debt OF the state is now only about $1.5O

raise it. The highest interest paid on any

ously involving the rights of n~eutrals."
1t is asserted in German Government
circles that the British right. of search is
questioned and that, in any event, the
British right to stop passengers, whether
they intend to eight for the Beers or not,
is strenuously disputed, as the vessel up

Transvaal Troops Surprised by Rapid
Movement of English Commander
Adoption of Africander Tactics Breaks
Long Series Of Defeats-Loss Is Slight.

| Gen. French, according to a Cape Town
| dispatch, occupied Colesburg Sunday
with very little fighting, what there was
being confined to the outposts. Tie
British losses were only three men killed
and eight wounded. The generals rep0r,
of the occupation of the town was re-
ceived at the war Office in London:
"At $3.50 o'clock Sunday morning, after
a nights march, 1 occupied a kopje over
looking West Colesburg. The enemy
outposts were completely surprised. L

plying vigorously, but later being sileiic-

1000 Beers with two II is reported
to be returning to Norvals Pont on Tie
Orange river. Our casualties We're three
killed and several wounded"
Gen. Brench's victory caused great sat
~:sfaction and furnished the London
papers occasion to print more pleasing
headlines than have been seen for some
months. While it is recognized French's
success is not one of vital Importance
materially, the cheering effect of it is
salutary after the depression caused by
q string of British defeats. The mill
tary experts unite in praising Frencl,'s
operation, dwelling particularly on the
rapidity with which he moved and the
fact that he did not attempt to storm AN
impregnable position. The success of TIE
cavalry thanking movement is seized upon
rs illustrating the advantage of a large
mounted force with which to fight the
Beers and which the Government has
been so slow to recognize.
Altogether, Frcnch's victory and he
methods by which he gained it are the.
irst good fruits of the '~'eye-opcner" the
Beers have given England, and the h".r
is expressed in London, says u c%orresl.
dent, that the other British commanders
will profit by the example. Gen. French
is the one British commander who, thus
fur, has not received IL check. He has
beaten the Beers by outtianking them re-
peatedly. This is the first time in the
South African war in which the Beers
a v been routed by q flank movement.
The force under Gen. French is 5000
strong, and is composed of a cavalry
brigade, II or two batteries of horse AZ

and some colonial cavalry. On the 9TH
