Invader and Patriot Grapple in
Fierce Struggle
FEW PARTICULARS GIVEN
But Reads Like the British We're Severely
Handled

Pretoria, April "Details re-
ceived here of the rear guard action
during the night of March 81 between
the Second Dragon guards Of Colonel
Lawley's column and the Beers, near
Boshman's Kop, show that q force
of 200 British, were endeavoring to
surprise Boer Iaager, rode straight
into force of 400 Beers. The night
was dark. The Beers we're hidden
in drift and opened fire from al
most under the legs of the British
horses.
A fierce hand to hand struggle en-
sued in which both sides freely used
the butt end of their rifles The
British regalned the ridge they had
just left and begun rear guard
action.
In the meantime strong force OF
Beers barred the road back to the
British camp. The coming of day
light enabled Colonel Lawley to see
that the guards were hard pressed,
and he dispatched reinforcements
with two guns to their rescue.
The reinforcements soon compelled
the Beers to retreat. The guards
had had very hard fight and wer'
ordered to retire by the squadron
The Beers disputed every inch OF tn
road, and continually attempted t.
rush the guards, shouting, "Hand
up" At each successive position
taken up the British appeared in di
minished numbers, for as it grey
lighter, the aim of the Beers I'm
proved proportionately.
The following incident of the fight
ing is recorded
Commandant Pretorius, who wa
captured the previous day in Cap
cart, was in guard of some Nats
scouts. The scouts rode into part
of Beers dressed in khaki, supposln
them to be British troops.
The Beers opened fire and Pretol
ius escaped IN the confusion One r.
port says he was shot as he fed.

ported to have been killed in tn
