she was taken III with a tTifiing complaint
which q physician would have cured in a
day or two. But she embraced the fifth
of Christian Science several months ago and
resolutely declined to call a doctor. AS
result she was stricken with a fever which
affected her brain.
Last night she grew violent and A DO
liceman sent for an ambulance from Flow

the surgeons arrived that they declined to
take her away Again she became VIC ent

Chief Joubert Is Dead A
Groat Fighter.

Commander-ln-C Chief JOubert is Dead A
Gront Fighter.
Pretoria, (By Gable. )-Gencral Joubeet
died Wednesday night at 1l;9O o'clock. Ho
had been suffering from stomach com
plant.
Peritonitls is said TO have Interyoned and
to have been tho immediate cause OF death.
The government pleaded with the widow
to allow n temporary intermcnt here, with q
state funeral. Joubert always expressed
desire to be buried In mausoleum built on
his farm.
His successor In tho chief command will
probably be General Louis Bo:ha, now com.
mandlng In Natal.
The town is plunged into mourning for the
true patriot, gallant general and upright
and honorable gentleman.
General Petrus Jacobus Joubert, com
maudant general OF the Transyaal forces,
better known as Piet Joubort, or "Sliem
Piet" (Which is Dutch for "sly" or "foxy"
Peter), was born about siXty-eight years
ngo. He was descended from an old French
Huguenot family, which settled IN South
Africa many years ago. He was born In
Cape Colony, but was takcn by his parents
when seven yeGrs old, to the Orange Froe
State, where he was taught from early child
hood to shoot straight and hate the British
He Is described as having been utterly fear
less. OF schooling he had but little, and ho
never saw u newspaper until ho was ninc-
teen years old. In spite Of this, his ambl-
tion prompted him to read tho few books be
could obtain, and no succeeded In obtaining
u fair knowledge OF history and languages
In consequence Of tho acquisition OF Natal
by the British, his family moved from Natal
and Settled In tho Transvaal, Soon atter-
wards no became burghcr Of tho South
African Republic and daring fighter. Il
was claimed In his behalf that he could lcad
q body Of men moro successfully against
hostile natives than any othrr man In the
Transvaal. Ho came to be so feared by the
natives that tho knowledge that hc was q.
the head OF a punitive expedition usually
resulted In their surrender.
