wounded, has written Il long letter TO
his wife at Lancaster from Mafeking
under date March II. In which he de-
sCribcs the action. says the London
Standard. Abiding TO Lord Methuen.
the writer says:
THE last gunner, finding himself
alone. was just leaving when he was
shot through the head. Lord Methuen
did not leave the guns till then. He
came over TO us and stood about fifteen
Yards from where | was. Five minutes
later he got his first wound in his right
side and then tried to mount his horse.
| did not know what he was going to

and he had to get OF. 4 few minutes
later he got his second wound in the

II nothing had happened. His horse
was shot dead Immediately afterward
falling on Lord Methuen and breaking
his leg. The doctor went TO him to
dress his wounds. but before he had
half finished he was shot, too. and our
general had to lie until we surrendered.
| am telling you this just to show what
a brave and good soldier he Is. beloved
by all his men, those who had been
with him from the first. He always
had kind word for every one, and
hope he will pull through and get all
right again"

ALPINE ACCIDENTS.
Effort 10 Protect Amateur Climbers
In Spite of Themselves.

The unprecedented mortality among
Alpinists last year has reused the
Swiss Alpine club to introduce new
measures in order TO protect amateur
Alpinists In spite of themselves. says
the London Chronicle. 1t is estimated
that 80 per cent of last years acci.
dents was among persons who had
come to Switzerland for the first time
and had practically no experience in
mountaineering.
New cabins" are to be built in the
most dangerous places. and sIgnboards
warning the tourist against hidden
crevasses. etc, are to be erected. \
new code of signals by which the
guides may communicate with the val
leys in case OF necessity will also come
into force this year.
A scheme for the general assurance
OF all Alpinists Is also in progress. or
course II is impossible TO prevent a
tourist from undertaking a risky climb
unattended, but in such cases hotel
keepers will warn the tourist of his
danger beforehand. Guides have also
been instructed TO refuse to continue a
climb II they find that the tourist is
unable to withstand the fatigue or In
case the change OF weather would rem
der the climb dangerous. The steps
cut into the rock in dangerous places
and the hand rails are to be renovated,
and, in short. the Alpine club is doing
its utmost this season TO prevent acct
dents In the Alps.

J. GEORGE WRIGHT TALKS.
Says IL the People Have Been Imposed
upon, There's a Remedy

upon, There's a Remedy
Last night J. George Wright of Mus
kogee, the Indian agent, arrived in
town. and was seen this morning by
an Ardmoreite representative.
MIR. Wright said the object of his
visit here was to make a report on
the 200 lots. the appraisements of
which were held up by the secretary
6 the interior, with instructions to go
over them, and make another re-
port.
In answer 10 our question as to
whether the appraisements of Ard.
more property had anything what
ever to do with his visit, he frankly
answered NO" But, in answer to
our question as to whether or not
there was any appeal for some of our
people, who seem TO think that a
great injustice has been done In the
appraising of their property, MIR.
Wright stated that If the people. or
any part of the people, thought that
an injustice had been done them. and
they thought they had been discrimi.
mated against, he would advise them
to address a communication TO the
town site commissioner, stating their
grievances, and the commissioner
would then look into the matter.
If the commissioner failed to give
them the relief they think they are
entitled to. he would advise them to
write to him. enclosing the town site
commissioners letter, and state their
grievances. and he would do all in his
power to see that justice was done to
everybody
