a favor if you will correct the mistake in

correctly about the man losing the peck
etbook containing 1918, but he was NOT

not man on the Prairie who would
have been so ungrateful We feel sure
that the finder would have been literally
rewarded for his honesty had the owner
been from the Prairie.

IN THE EFFORT TO TRAP DEWET

London. Feb. lS.-A dispatch to the

Feb 16. confirms the report Of the ar
rival there of Lord Kitchener and his
star to superintend the chase of Cen

most all transport vehicles, and his
horses are exhausted

port that several columns are pursuing
General Dewet, whose exact where
abouts, however. is not indicated

confirms the report that Dewet's COM
mandO is extremely exhausted and
harassed on all sides. He adds.

handicapped the movement of British
troops from the north. The country is
reduced TO a swamp. The rise of the
Orange river behind the Beers. which
ought to have been an advantage, has
