How Prince Louis Napoleon Wal
Killed by the Zu1us.

How Prince Louis Napoleon Was
Killed by the Zulus.
How Prince Louis Napoleon was kill
ed by the Zulus June 1, 1879, is told
graphically in the book by Sir Evelyn
Wood, who took part in that war. The
little party which the prince accompa-
MED was surprised and attacked. Sir
Evelyn writes: 1.-THE Zulus In pursuit
ran first after the two white soldiers
who were on the tanks, three or four
men, headed by Labanga, following
the prince. His horse had jumped just
as he was mounting, and his sword fell
out Of it's scabbard. He was very ac-
tive and was vaulting on his horse In
motion when the wallet on the front
of the saddle broke away, and he fell
to the ground, being at this time only
sixty yards behind the (British) fugi-
tiveS. There were seven men who ac-
tually fought the prince. When Ian
galeoele, pursuing the fugitives, first
saw Labanga, he was running away
from the prince, who was rushing at
him. Labanga, crouching In the grass,
threw an assagai at him. The first as
sagai stuck in the princes thigh, and,
withdrawing it from the wound, he
kept his foes at bay for some minutes.
In the natives words: He fought like
a lion. He fired two shots, but with
out effect, and l threw an assagai at
him, which struck him, as said at the
time, but / always allowed Labanga's
claim to have killed him, for his ASA
gal hit the prince in the left shoulder,
q mortal wound >"
