DENVER, Col, January 14.-Fred-
erick G. Bonfils, one of the proprietors
of the Post, who was shot by Lawyer
w. w. Anderson, of this city, yester-
day, is in a critical condition. Physi-
clans are in constant attendance at the
bedside of the injured man. This af-

the effect of weakening the patient and
tonight grave fears are entertained
for his recovery.
Harry H. Tammen, associated with
Bonils in the proprietorship of the
Post, who was also shot by Anderson
during the trouble that resulted in
Bonfls' injuries. is resting easy to-
night, and is in no danger unless COM
plications should set in.
w. w. Anderson. the lawyer who
did the shooting, was released last
night by District Judge G. P. Butler
on habeas corpus proceedings held in a
room at the Denver Athletic Club. His
bond was fixed at $4,000, and was i'm

THE GREAT MINERS MEETING.

Nearly Five Hundred Delegates
Have Arrived at indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS, January 14.-Near-
ly five hundred delegates to the ma
tional convention of the United Mine
Workers of America have arrived for
the opening tomorrow. and another
hundred are expected on the early
trains. The larger delegations here
are: Ohio, 80; Pennsylvania, Is; Illi-
nois, 100; Kentucky, Is; Iowa, 10; West
Virginia, 20; Indiana, 60.
The convention represents 100, 900
workmen in twenty-seven States. The
credentials committee will not report
before tomorrow, if then, and import
ant business cannot come up until it's
report has been acted upon. Most of
the delegates come instructed to de-
mand an advance in the scale, but
there is some difference as to how much
will be demanded. Most of the dele
cations are very reticent on this core.
The Indiana delegation decided to-day
upon an increase of Is cents per ton.

OSCAR GARDNER TRAINING

BOXING WITH EDDIE GARDNER
Under the Eye of Hugh Arnold
Standing and Averages of Bowl
ers In All the Local Tournaments.
Work of the Coming W~eek-Other
Sporting METERS.

Local lovers of the boxing game are
very much interested in the match be-
tween Oscar Gardner and Terry Nc
Govern, which will take place before
the Broadway Athletic club March 9th.
There are many persons who believe
that Oscar has gone back, but his close
friends say he can enter the ring with
McGovern in better shape than ever be-
fore in his life. 1t will be the most
important event in Gardeners ring ca
reer, not even excepting his battle with
George Dixon. Gardeners friends are
asserting that if Dixon had fought him
as he fought McGovern, Gardner would
have wrested the championship from
him. 1t is true that Dixon did not mix
up at close range with Gardner, but
it is also true that McGovern forced
him to do so.
1t is the opportunity Of his life for
Gardner and whatever may be the out
come of the battle the Omaha Kid is
extremely fortunate in getting a match
with McGovern SO soon after his cap
ture of the championship.
Gardner has already started training
under the eye Of Hugh Arnold. 1t he
works faithfully, he will be in good con-
dition by the day of the battle. He
boxes daily with his brother Eddie, and
both go at it in a very earnest manner
Saturday the brothers boxed fifteen
fast two minute rounds, and when they
stopped Oscar showed no signs Of IA
tigue. A number of Wheeling friends
Of Gardner have announced their in
tention of going to New York to see
the fight.

The fire. however, proved quite
harmless, nearly all the shots falling
in the debris heaps and our guns at
Wesselton replying and quickly getting
the range, induced the enemy to cease
firing. and they cleared off about noon.
So little was thought of the Boer fire
that the alarm was not even sounded,
and business was carried on just the
same. Thus ended the b~ombardment
of Kimberley. So little alarm did it
cause that the men in the redoubts
were actually playing cricket and
quoits while it was going on.
The following is from a letter from
a reservist sergeant in the Coldstream
Guards, who is with Methuen's COL
umn. He was at the battle of Modder

During the afternoon some one

Advices just received from Colombia
reiterate the statement that the main
body of the Colombian revolutionists,
after occupying Bucaramanga on jan

stores, proceeded toward Socorro, to
which other bodies were converging,
with a view of forming a junction and
delivering a concerted attack upon Be-
gotta. In this attempt, according to the
same advices, the Colombians expected
the assistance of a considerable body
of V~enezuelans, understood to be adj
vancing from the frontier by way of
Cuyuta.
On the other hand, the government
dispatches reafirm the reports of a
complete rout of the main body of the

THE CHARGE OF TREASON.

CAPE TOWN. Wednesday, January
10.-The proceedings for treason in
stituted against the Dutch colonials
who were taken In arms at Scnnyside
are being pressed. Witnesses have been
Intercepted to-day. The preliminary
examination before the magistrate will
be held later, and the trial will prob
ably be conducted by the Supreme
Court.
The Colonial Dutch point out that
these prosecutions will serve to make
more rebels, as they consider the treat
ment Of the prisoners designed to ter
rify them. Some Britons regard the
prosecutions as impolite, in view Of the
fact that the Beers are able to retaliate
upon the 100 British officers and the
$500 privates in their hands, and might
do so unless all who fight in the Boer
ranks are treated as prisoners of war.
The Beers keep up a continuous snip
