road as the kopje. Thus 1t was, by a
stroke of good luck. a bullet undoubtedly
meant for me got my horse instead, ana
a lucky thing it was in more ways than
one. He made one lunge and dropped
with me. I simply fell off and, lying
fiat behind him, waited for the troop to
gallop by.
"As a lieutenant passed he yell
ed to three other fellows In
the same fix to stay where
they were The troops dismounted a
few yards ahead, the horses were led TO
shelter by each No man in fours, and
the remainder of the men dropped behind
any convenient shelter, where they re-
manned to see what damage they could
do. We soon discovered that the Boer
force was small and an order was given
to charge the kopje
About forty men Immediately started
on a run, firing as they ran. A not
fire was poured at them and four fellows
dropped, but the steady fire from our
men in reserve began to tell on Brother
Boer, and, seeing twenty-five mounted
men preparing to encircle the kopje, he
adopted mis- usual brave tactics and trail
ed down the other side of the kopje.
I'VE four, who had had our horses as
preastworks, had been having fine time
Kidding ourselves of our $50 pounds each
of ammunition, and listening to the bull
lets flying over our heads But when
we saw our game rising up from behind
the ant hills and trying to shake u.s. we,
along with the rest, Joined in the grand
rush up the hills.
''Our mounted men were too late in
getting around to the rear, as the Beers
had taken particular care that their
horses should be in constant readiness,
and they were away through kloof
between two smaller hills in the rear.
We climbed the hills, and there they
were scampering away across the veldt.
They all had fine mounts and pursuit
was out of the question.
I'VE took four prisoners, however, and
learned from them that their whole force
did not exceed sixty They told US that
seven had been wounded; two of them
We found on the kopje, but the other
five managed to make their escape. Our
losses were six horses, one trooper kill
ed and four troopers wounded.
at will probably seem strange that
there were no more casualties, but such
is the case in all of the engagements
now going on. The firing is mostly all
at long range. Ours was exceptionally
close-9O0 yards. The first range given
out was 800, but in few seconds the
order was changed to six. Each man
has his own opinion, however, and sights
his rifle accordingly. This is the main
reason for there being 10 more casual

ROB The INDIANS
SETTLERS ON MILE Laos RESER-
WALTON HAVE DEFRAUDED
REDSKINS
MAY CAUSE MUCH TROUBLE
White Settlers Have Filed on In
dian Lands Contrary to United
States Laws-Signs of
Violence.

ST. CLOUD, Oct. Especial. )-"If the
Mile Lac Indians. as reported, are be-
coming violent and showing a disposition
to fight" said st. Cloud man today,
who has been in close touch with the
White Earth and other Indians of the
state for many years, there is no doubt
that it is for the purpose of resisting
the outrages that they are constantly
being subjected to by the settlers on the
late Mile Laos reservation, who have
been for several years past robbing
them of their lands under the color of
law
1.-THE Indians have been vainly trying
to secure the ful6llment of the act IF
1899, commonly called the Rice treaty, in
respect to having the lands upon which
they were born, have cultivated end inn
proved and on which they have always
lived, allotted to them in severalty.
Regardless of this act and other United
States laws prohibiting the entry of
these lands. white settlers were per-
mitted to file on them. There are a
good many instances in which the In
dams have been taken from their homes
and the lands which the United States
agreed to allot them, by the Sheriff of
Mile Laos county, and placed in Jail at
Princeton on the charge of trespass en-
the lands, and in each instance when
the Indian was able to contest the
matter the interior department has de-
cided in his favor.
Last May Sheriff Claggett, of Mile
Laos county, with a posse, removed the
Indians from one of their villages on
the late Mile Laos reservation, and then
set fire to over twenty buildings, practi-
caEy leaving the IndiaA settlers with
out shelter of any kind. This was done
at the instance of one man who had
taken the land regardless of the i'm
provements of the Indians, which were
made long prior to the opening of the
reservation to settlement. Immediately
following the burning of the village the
Indians sent for the young men of the
band who were working on logging
drives, with a view of driving all the
settlers from the reservation Wiser
counsel prevailed, however, and the In
dams were induced to abandon their
intentions. Recently contests have been
commenced in the local land Office here
by some of the Indians against some OF
the persons who have entered upon the
lands upon which the Indians are AMI
have been living for years and making
improvements. The petitions in certain
suits which are about to be started in The
United States court by the Indians to re-
cover certain lands now held by settlers
at Mile Laos have just been completed,
and these actions will be started within
a few days. 1t is intended that the
rights of the Mile Laos Indians will thus
be settled conclusively and for all time"
