er, postmaster of Aberdeen, S. D.,

was 81 cents per bushel, and the aver
age for the past four years was 10
cents above the average for the pre-
ceding four years.
He said there was brisk competition
among the elevator companies. In hi 5
opinion there were no elevator COM
bines. He testified that he had never
been able to find any evidence of re-
bates ganted the elevator companies
and that the farmer and the inde-
pendent elevator had the same privileges
and rates with the railroad companies
as the largest elevator companies

deem. testified along the same lines.

where champagne flowed like water. At
the bars of three leading hotels in Helena
and several other saloons drinks were set
out from to midnight at the expense of
the millionaire, and patrons could get
anything they wanted. Gray-haired men
and beardless youths participated in the
celebration.

terben. An Otterben posse surrounded
the house and rushed in at midnight.
Marvin was awake and seized revolver
at his bedside. Before he could fire,
Elmer Switzer shot him in the face and
the posse closed in. One man jumped
from the second story window and es-
capped, but the brothers were overpower-
ed after struggle in which shots were
exchanged. Wounded, as he was, Mar
vim partially shook off the attacking
party, and shot H. Volt in the back and
Lewis Hawkins in the arm. Neither was
fatally injured. The prisoners were
brought to Logansport Here Marvin
was positively identified by the police
man who battled with him in December.
His measurements tally to a dot to the
Bertillon description of the Columbus Of
ficers He says If he had been given a
fair show he would have cleaned out
the posse. The wound in his face Is not
serious. The Plymouth authorities will
likely prosecute him instead Of returning
him to Columbus.

STANDERTON, Wednesday, Jan. H.
Coiville's mobile column, marching from
New Denmark to Nlaklaagte, was attack
ed by LOCO Beers, divided into two forces
One force made a determined attempt
on the baggage, and the other on the
cavalry constituting the rear guard. The
cavalry was compelled to retire until pro-
tected by four companies of rifles, hidden
behind a ridge, who were waiting with
bayonets. The Beers then made a
speedy retreat leaving several dead and
wounded from the heavy British fire.
Eventually both attacks were repulsed,
the Beers losing heavily. The British
were not able to pursue the Beers owing
TO the necessity of protecting their bag
gage. Their casualties were l killed and

CALLS ON THE YEOMANRY.
LONDON, Jan. 1S-Lord Roberts was
entertained privately last evening by the
United Service club, the guests includ-
ing the Prince of Wales, the Duke of
York, the Duke of Cambridge and some
800 officers, and has issued from the war
office stirring appeal for a prompt re-
sponse to the call for 5000 yeomanry,
whose past services in Dutch Africa he
highly commends to the gratitude Of the
nation
The application of martial law in Cape
Colony, the collection of the inhabitants
of the two republics into camps and plac-
ing on short rations those whose hus-
bands do not surrender, show that there
is much work yet to be done.
1t is supposed Lord Kitchener is col
1ecting his forces for a final effort to
crush or capture the commanders on
TACTICS which caused the surrender of
Gen. Cronje and. Gen. Prinzloo.
NATAL IN DANGER.
It is alleged that the Beers who are
concentrating at Carolina and Ermlies
are preparing to descend into Natal.
Reports from the disturbed districts
yesterday show the Beers have released
294 British who were captured at Helve-
tia and Ballast. The facts of the cap
ture at Helvetia have not yet been al
lowed to transpire. 1t is said more heavy
guns will be landed at the Cape. Infor-
nation as to the doings of the invaders
IS hard to obtain. but it is clear they are
getting very little hope from the Dutch.
Twice they attempted to capture Bark
ly West but both times they were re-
pulsed For three days they occupied
Sutherland but they cleared out on the
approach of a British column. Small,
scattered parties are reported operating
IN parSs of the Ceres districts. Appar-
emily the invaders abandoned the idea of
attacking Clan William on finding the
town well defended.
A column of LOCO has been active in the
Richmond district, but there the Beers
have secured only 100 Dutch recruits.
