DASH FOR LIBERTY
Made by Party Of GOO Beers
Near Bothersburg,
When Forced Back They Foughtfrom
Behind Horses and Cattle.
Fifteen Killed and Wounded and 6O0O
Cattle Abandoned.

London, Feb. 27.-The attack made
by the Beers numbering 600 and driv-
ing cattle before them to rush the out
post line near Bothersburg, Transvaal
colony, during the night of Feb. 90.
when some of the Beers got through,
was most determined. They were led
by two well-known fighters, Ross
Hands and Mamie Botha.
When the Beers realized that their
attempt to actually break through the
wire fences was frustrated they
crouched beside the dead cattle with
which the ground was thickly strewn.
and from that defence poured a heavy
fire on the British.
The fuSilade was steadily returned
and finally the Beers were driven back,
leaving Is dead and six wounded on the
field. They also left 40 dead or wound
ed horses and the entire herd of 5000
cattle.
The British line at the point attacked
was held by the columns commanded
by Lieut.. Col. Julian Bing. and Maj
Michael F. Rimington. The brunt of
the fighting fell on force Of New
Zealanders, attached to one of the
columns. The British lost two officers
and is men killed and had five officers
and % men wounded.

BLONDlN'S CHANCE.
Massachusetts Must Show New York
His Probable Guilt.

Boston, Feb. 27.-State Officers
Rhoades and Proctor returned, tonight.
from New York without Blondin, and
are obliged to secure affidavits in order
to hold the prisoner for the alleged
murder Of his wife. They will consult,
tomorrow, with Attorney General Par
ker, who will determine in which coun-
ty the prisoner is to be indicted,
whether it should be in Suffolk or Mid
dlesex. Blondin cannot be held for
more than 20 days under New York
laws and if the Massachusetts, authori-
ties cannot furnish enough evidence he
must be released.
Even should Blondin declare his will
ingness to return to Massachusetts the
officers must first satisfy the New York
authorities that he is guilty of the
murder charged against him. Chief
Wade and his men are now at work on
several clues relating to the mysterious
trunk and expect to be able to con-
vince the attorney general that the
crime was committed in Middlesex and
not in Suffolk county.
\ special session of the Middlesex
county grand jury is expected to be
called in a few days, while the Suffolk
grand jury comes in. next Monday.

CASE OF SMALLPOX
Is Found at South Portland, Coming
from the Sylvester House.

Portland. Me-. Feb. 27-Yesterday, at
Ligonia. Peter whisplore, young man
who has been at ysfk in Portland driv
ing a grocery wagon, was thought to
have smallpox. The South Portland
health board took all precautions to
quarantine the family, and then noti-
fled the Portland health board, asking
that one of the board visit the case.
DIR. Cummings went over. this morn
ing, and on looking at the young man
said that there could he no doubt that
he really has the disease. He is a son
of Duncan Whitmore and the whole
family is quarantined. The Portland
health board has placed at the disposal
of the South Portland board the small
pox ambulance, if it is decided to re-
move the young man from his fathers
house.
Investigation of the probable cause of
young Whitmore having smallpox dis
closes the fact that he has been accus-
toned to deliver groceries at the house
of DR. Sylvester on Brown street in
Portland. Whitmore used to 80 into
the kitchen and almost invariably had
some conversation with the servant
girl who is now at the pcsthousc with

A FIRE PANIC
Among the Guest Of Bowdoin
Square Hotel, Boston.
About l40 Of Them Hustle to Reach
Places Of Safety.
Miss Agnes Green Seriously Injured in
Jumping from Window.

Boston, Feb. "a fire in the Bow
do;r Square hotel, Thursday morning.
caused small sized panic among 14O
tered there. All but one escaped in
safety. The hotel is connected with
the Bowdoin theatre and many of the
occupants were filling engagements at
the play house. The injured person
was Miss Agnes Green, who jumped
from the fourth floor Of the hotel to
roof two stories below. She was picked
10 unconscious and taken to the relief
station of the City Hospital.
The fire was first seen on the fourth
floor. immediately all the alarms in
the building were sounded and bell boys
ran through the corridors arousinS the
occupants of the rooms. To their
prompt action is attributed the fact
that no more serious result followed
the fire. Even with such haste as was
made one or two persons were over
come with excitement and with their
eXertions to escape through the blind
ing smoke. but all recovered on reach
ing the outside air.
For a time there was much confusion.
Women in negligee We're dragging their
baggage out of their rooms. Other per-
sons were hurrying out with their be-
longings in their arms. Three young
men on the fifth floor, finding the cor
ridor filled with smoke, threw mat
tresses onto roof three stories below
their window and jumped without in
jury.
Miss Green found herself hemmed in
by smoke and. with the fire apparently
approaching her room, she leaped from
her window onto the gravel roof of the
next building. The shock made her
unconscious, but it is thought she will
recover.
The firemen made short work of the
flames but the loss from water was
heavy. From the location Of the hotel
and theatre it was deemed wise to give
three alarms. The fire burned from the
fourth floor up through the roof. The

Milk Diet Failed.

Food that will actually lift one out of
sick bed is worth knowing of. A
Chicago lady writes, Il want to tell
of q positive cure Grape-Nuts Food has
made in a case that was considered al
most hopeless.
# know you do not look upon Grape
Nuts as a medicine but, inasmuch as
the food certainly does build up worn
out systems, it seems to me it is close
ly allied to tonic. Now about the
cure.
Last spring dear girl friend fell i'll
and was taken to one of the hospitals,
but weeks before entering the hospital
she had been able to take nothing but
milk to nourish her, all other foods dis
tressed the stomach so much that she
tried to live on the milk alone. Y
THE doctor in the hospital en-
deavorcd to keep her alive with broth
and other food, but her stomach re-
fused to retain anything but milk. and
very little of that at time.
Il worked away at the resident ply
sician until he consented to my taking
her home to see what the change would
do for her. The poor child was 50 very
weak and nervous and SO frail that I
felt quite dubious about the outcome,
nevertheless I knew enough about
Grape Nuts Food, which / intended to
give her, to feel that it would bring
her out. After she had rested a little
while l warmed some milk and poured
it over a tablespoonful of Grape-Nuts
and persuaded her to take it. She did
so with fear and trembling, for she did
not expect to keep the food down. After
giving her the food l started to read her
a story, and although it was an inter-
esting one, she fell asleep. When she
finally awoke her first words were,
Did / really keep the Grape -Nuts?'
'She had kept them but could scarce
ly believe it. After two or there hours
gave her little more with the same
good result. Gradually and cautiously
l increased the amount until after
few days she was able to eat a saucer
full with no bad effects.
"She lived on Grape-Nu entirely
and gained strength so rapidly that she
soon recovered, and now recommends
Grape-Nu to all her friends. She
says she would be glad to have anyone
who is suffering from stomach trouble
write her. and she will tell what Grape
Nuts Food has done for her, and how
grateful she is to the man who had
the forethought to manufacture food
already digested so that weak stom-
achs can take it, Her name is Lille
Nj. Gestabt, 4416 Wabash Ave, Chicago.
"A clergyman of our acquaintance
eats a dish of Grape-Nuts before pre-
pairing his sermon. / asked him once
if he got inspiration from the food. He
said. Not only that, but it seems to
clear my mind and make my "thirdlys"
and ''fourthlys" come much more quick
ly. Just think about ones stomach not
having to think about digesting Grape
Nuts at all. they have done the digest
ing themselves, and all we have to do is
to tickle the palate by swallowing
Them This same gentleman assured
me that he would rather dispense with
any article of food on the table than
Grape-Nuts.
I'VE eat the food regularly with some
times little fresh or canned fruit
added. We call it our tonic My
husband joins in thanking you heartily
for its manufacture" Name given by

AXE THROUGH SKULL
AIeck Ikey Murders His Wife
at Wells, Vermont.
Mentally Deranged and Act Is With
out Slightest Provocation.
Thought That Someone Was Trying to
Poison Him.

Rutland, VT, Feb. 27-Mental de-
rangement, apparently, caused Aleck
Ikey, prosperous farmer of Wells. to
kill his wife with an axe, this after
noon.
This afternoon, Ikey left his wife and
son in the sitting room of the house
and went to the wOodshed door. AS it
was locked he broke it and securing an
axe returned to the kitchen. Mrs. Ikey
passed through this room and into the
pantry, and as she did so her husband
struck her twice in the head, killing
her almost instantly. Then he went to
the sitting room and awakened his son,
who was asleep on the lounge, and told
him what he had done.
The only remark which indicated
mental trouble was one to the effect
that there were others on the place
who would r'get the same
The children. the son referred to,
aged 20, and daughter. three years
older, sent word to the village and
Constable Mason went to the farm
house. Ikey consented to go to Rut-
land, without even discussing what he
had done. On the way he refused to
talk, but otherwise acted quite ra-
tionally. He was placed in the county
Jail here, tonight.
He was asked later if he realized
what he had done and said he did. He
told rambling story not quite clear
in details, that his wife was trying to
drive him away from home, that he
had a sore on his leg which hurt, and
that when his wife touched him on the
face the sore appeared there. He also
said some one was trying to poison
him. He had an idea that poison was
placed in the bread.
The town of Wells is greatly excited
over the murder and some of the
neighbors, tonight, say they had en-
tertained an idea that Ikey was crazy.
The children say that their mother and
father were a loving couple and no
disagreeable word had been exchanged
at any time.
