which swept the beach front for two
long blocks, from Illinois avenue to

The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is said to haye started in either

LATE FIGHT WITH THE BoERs
Story of the Battle ut Doornbnlt Farm

Killed and Wounded.


1licrksdorp, Transvaal Colony, April
"details received of the battle at
Doornbalt Farm, March 81, in which
the British had three officers and
twenty-fOur men killed and sixteen Of
ficers and 131 men wounded, while the
Beers had 1871 men killed or wounded,
show that quite 1000 Beers opened
strong attack from different points
with three guns and Il pompom. This
attack Was made ut n moment when
the British had left their luggage in
a laager in charge of the Canadian
contingent and We're galloping across
the open plain with the intention of
capturing a Boer convoy which had
been discovered five miles ahead.
The British retired steadily and,
Having dismcunted, opened return
fusillade on the Beers. While the lug
gage in charge of the Canadians was
sent for the British formed camp
and started digging trenches. The
Smelling of the Beers stampeded the
mules and caused confusion, but other
wise it was not very effective as many
shells failed to explode. The Canadi-
ans front was attacked in strong num-
bers, but they calamity repealed every
attempt made by the Beers to break
through.
One party of the Canadians fought
until all were lied or wounded, and
the last of their party. although NOR
tally wounded, emptied two bandoliers
of cartridges at the enemy and then
broke his rifle. The fighting was Sc
we're and general for fuzzy three hours,
but after the British had entrenched
and the guns got into action the forces
repealed numerous and determined at
tacks made under the personal eXhorta-
tons of the Boer leaders. Toward night
the fire gradually ceased and the Beers
retired.
