From Saturday's daily. About 1'2 o'clock lat nipht a stranger drove icto Fitzgerald's ham and rc ported tnat he hnd run over a man out on Chicago avenue, near the "forty." "I'ug" Ujnaon, wto is on the night shift at the barn, immediately bitcht-d up a team, and, accompanied by Ottioor Fitzpatrick and teveral others, drove out to tt') if the unfortunate man needed assistance. It being quite dark, they did not eoe the man lying in the road until they had also i un over him. They quickly picked him up, and, by the aid of a light, ascertained that it wasChailey Heed, who resides out in South I'ark. At first it was thought that ho was de;.d, as his body was limp ar.d apparently lifeless. Ilia face had been bally bruised by the horses' hoofs, and the wheels of both vehic'es must have passed over his chest. He was taken home and properly cared for, and his condition today is such that it is thought no serious results will follow. Some are incline! to bt-lievo I hit Mr. Keed was ".-lugged," but this is thought improbable, as no m irks were found which w uld indicate that he h d been dealt with in this manner. He was probably on his way home, and while walking along the toad was run down by a e if. loss driver. He cer tainly had a i arrow ercape.

Tho last year before he left he was princi pal of the Nehawka schools. He went to Sioux Falls with the AleClellaods, where he fcas since been teaching. Thk News clips tho following from the Sioux Falls Daily Argus: "Prof. Albert E. Barrett, principal of the Whittier school, died at tho home of F. C. McClelland at 4 o'clock Sunday morning of Bright' disease; aged thirty -eight. His death had been expected for several days. "Prof. Barrett came to Sioux Falls about four years ago and accepted a position in the publie schools. For the past two years ho has been princi pal of the Whittier fcchool. Ha was finely educated and a thorough Chris tian gentleman. "When the attending physicians de cided that he could not recover word was sent to his relatives at Troy, N. Y., and Johnstown, N. Y.,ho having a mother and brother at the former place and two sisters at tho latter. Word was received Saturday that should bis illness prove fatal his re mains wore to bo shipped to Johns town. "Sundiiy afternoon sh i t services were held at the residence of Superin tendent McCle'land, conducted by Dr. I). B. Scott of the Congregational church.

The remains were taken to the Illi nois Central depot and shipped to Johnstown for burial.

Stole a Itolt of Oiuglixin A tramp who gave his name as Frank McCarthy was arrested Satur day afternoon for the theft of a bo'.t of gingham from the front of Zuekwei'er & Lutz's store. One of the clerks saw the man take the poods and sneak down the alley on the south side of Main. Marshal Slater was immed iately notified, and after searching for a short time succeeded in capturing the fellow on Fourth and Main streets. The man did not have the goods, however, at the time he was arrested. claiming his partner took it, but when he was identified by the clerk he lost no time in confessing. He claimed to have hid the goods at the rear of Baird's restaurant. It is generally bclievid that Mc Carthy's partner returned after the arrest had been made and carritd otT the hidden goods, as the officers could not Had any trace of tbem at the rear of the restaurant, and u to the present time neither the aforesaid partner nor gimgham have been located. The stolen property is valued at $2.25. As McCarthy has a'ready conlessed to the prosecuting attorney as to tho theft, it is generally believed that when he is arraigned on the charge of petit larceny he will plead guilty, thus getting out of the tiouble tho easiest and best way possible.

Rain was still falling when they went into camp Thursday afternoon eight oen miles west of De Wet's dorp They hold the railway and the south crn frontier of the Free State with 20,000 men. How many are going with the geuerais who will engage the Boers at Wepener is not mentioned in the latest dispatch from Oorlogspoort, where the British bivouacked Wednes day night. The field telegraph ends there. On Thursday the Boers still had Colonel Dalgetty closely penned, Embargo of Water and Mud. The Bloeinfoutein correspondent of The Morning Tost, telegraphing April 10, says: There is already a thirty foot flood of the Caledon river, which Is reported to be still rising. All the drifts on the Modder river are lm- pa&sablo. Traffic is temporarily in terrupted southward, the water having washed the ballast from the line of the railway. The country about Bloem fontein is so deep in mud that the farmers' carts are unable to reach tho town. We had a heavy rain last night. Today the weather is improving, but progress will be impossible until the roads are in better condition. Strenuous efforts are being made to rearrange the transport to meet the require ments of tho enlarged army." Tftoers Commencing Guerrilla 'Warfare. Tho Ladysmlth correspondent of The Daily News, says: "The Boers In Natal are already commencing a guerrila warfare. Both the Transvaalers and the Free Staters are compelling the natives to bear arms.

CAPTURED BY THE IU'RGIIEKS. Captain, Lieutenant and Special On the llglitig 1.1 ill; at Wepener. Aliwal North, April 21. Captain Little, of Brabant's Horse; Lieutenant Holbeck, and Mr. Milne, a Reuter cor respondent, fell into the hands of the enemy while they were trying to reach Wepener a week ago. Everything was taken from the prisoners, who were sent to Pretoria. Their native servants, who escaped from the Boer laager near Wepener, say that there were four guns disabled and that the Boers had lost 100 in killed alone. It is also ascertained that the Boers made a night attack on April 11, but were discovered while creeping along a deep ditch by Cape mounted rifles with Maxims, who fired Into them at a distance of 20 Oyards with the result that the Boers lost five wagon loads of killed -and wounded. A simultaneous attack in other quarters was repulsed by the British, who used their bayo nets. The Boers still surround Wepener, but there has been little firing lately. The Boers who lately surrendered in tho Wepener district have been forced again with violence to fight. Ten of thejr leaders have been arested. Presi dent Steyn has issued orders to the Boer forces to hold tight to the grain districts of Wepener, Ladybrand and Ficksburg. from which they draw their food supplies, and also to prevent the British forces from getting the rich supplies now in those districts. ROBERTS IS IN COMMAND Autl lie Has tho Responsibility of Sending Oenerala Home, London, April 21. The government's reason for publishing Lord Roberts' Splon Kop dispatches was explained last evening at Hull by Walter llume Long, president of the board of agri culture, who said that the country was entitled to receive all the information the government could give. "The gov ernment Is told," continued Long, "that having published the dispatches it is bound to deal Immediately with the generals affected but. In following such a course, the government might have to dismiss every general the mo ment he made a mistake. Had such a policy been pursued in the past many most glorious deeds would not have been performed. "The government used its discretion in publishing the dispatches. From the beginning of the campaign her majesty's ministers have not swerved from the rule of leaving the conduct of the operations to the discretion and judgment of the commander-in-chief." The following dispatch is published here, dated Elandslaagte, April 19: "Yesterday the British parols discover ed another party of Boers on the Brit ish left, in the same position from which the enemy recently fired on the South African Horse. Native deserters confirm previous statements with re spect to the fortifications and streneth of the Boer? along tne Blggarsberg range. The enemy have recently estab lished a large hospital, which. Is already filled, and similar hospitals are being established by them at various rail way towns. The Boers are losing many horses. The rank and file are not allowed to foraire for supplies. Their sugar Is ex hausted and only bush ta is availabe. The oBers are reported to wish to leave the Biggarsberg and to take up a posi tion at Majuba, but the commandants refuse.

The Week's Keiew reporter vi-it d th-3 separator station Thui slay after noon and found Manager Frank Gillett slicking things up after having com pleted the day s's work. The busioesi of the new institution is now well uu der way and in such volume as to agreeably surprise the inanagroen'. The receipts of milk are exceptionally large for this season of the year, when feed is the shortest, ana the test shows an unuruilly high average, thus giv ing promise of a remunerative busi ness both for the builders of the plant and its patrons. At present there are three milk routes in charge of Al Deti;son, L. C. Gillett and John E :iot, and others will be added as soon as possible. The wagons make their rounds in the fore noon, return the milk to be put through the sep trator and take tho s um-milk back to the farmers in the afternoon, to bo fed to the young stock. At the start the separator station was in operation only every other day, but it has been running every day this week, and will continue to do so Sundays, of course, expected. The receipts of the opening day, April 10amounted to 3,915 pounds, the day following 110 pounds were brought in, on Thursday 3,659 anion Saturday 4,000. This week the re ceipts were: Monday, 4,480; Tuesday, 1,357: Wednesday, 2,516; and onThurs day considerably larger. It not bjing generally known that the plant was to run every day the receipts were not so large this week as they might have been, although there is not the slight est reason for complaint on this score. as the figures show. The average test of all milk received has been four, extra good, and the highest test was that of J. B. Elliot, five. Tho testing is done tho first and fifteenth of the month. Tho lessee, the Beatrice Creamery company, is more than pleased with the way the people of this vicinity have shown a disposition to make a success of the enterprise, ard it is a matter of con gratulation to the people as well, for it will prove to be a money producer second to none.

The young people who make up the cast for "Her Majesty's Guardsmen," the play that is to be given for the benefit of the public librarj May 7 and 8, are to ba highly commended for of fering their services for 60 worthy & cause. It is not all mere play to at tend rehearsals almost nightly for three weeks previous to the night of the performance in order to fit them selves to appear well in their new roles; when you consider th.-.t other pleasant eng gements and hours when one would like to be at home must bo sacrificed, or bri g d wn the frowns of the stpge manager ar.d the disp'easure of the rest of the company.
