The Capture of Captain Bour

HIS TREATMENT WHiLE A FRIBONEB.I

MrG 6 Stead has just received a letter from Captain H Louis Bourn, dated from Barberton, 20th Sptember, In which the writer gives a description o! his capture by the Boers, and his treatment as a prisoner.

'•My capture," says the writer, 'was very unfortunate both for myself and for the horse under ray command, but even now I fail to see how I could have helped it. We were swat forward to obtain information and to hold a certain kopja Reinforcements were sent for and were in sight, and expect fd at any ti» e ; in fact as some of my xmn retired at e my order —as soon «s we found ourselves in a hole-— th>y met the reinforcement coming up. The Boers were very much favoured by the rocky slope behind me, but I did not pay much attention to it, »s thorn were two battalions of infantry covering it. I have since learned that the infantry retired previously under better cover, as the enemy from a different quarter attacked them. The very hot fir? from two pompom guns, and about 400 rifles for four hours was very trying, but my tasu was made easier, as every man kept quite steady, and not a man moved until I was on my feet. This is proved as only one man was hit. We were rushed off the kopje, and had to walk 18 miles to Geueral Botha's laager where the best place for our custody was an old fowlhoase. Next morning we were seat oo a mule trolly to the railway at Balmoral, and after two nights in the train we reached Nooit gedacht, " The Boers seemed to us to be in a very bad way, and for some time could only give hard peas, coffee beans, and rice for rations, later on floor, and occasionally, aay about once a week, lib of meat "each. At first the only store in the place had nothing. Pots and pans could not be had anywhere, then when supplies had come in the pricea were enormous, or to say three timea the usual. Under the trying circumstances our men were noted to be the quietest and least quarrelsome, and seemed to "buckle to" better than any in the laager, which is very much to their credit, more especially as they w@re taken without convenience, while others had their complete kits with them. We were delighted when the reports of the guns were heard, but disappointed when the officers were ordered to pack ready for morning. At first we were led to believe that our destination was Nelepmit, bat when the train ran through, not one of us could guess where they would take as.

" Barberton is a small mining town, the oldest mining town in South Africa, and its population is comprised of a number of British, as well as Dutch residents. The British were very kind to us while we were here, in sending us fruit and vegetables, but the suspense was great, and when the Boers came into the town they were almost in a etate of riot and threatened to shoot ua. The women also suggested that it was the b sfc thing to do with us. The influence of Oomnnndant Van der Post only s^ved us. Snipers used to sit on tt.e hills, and shoot at the window lights : some of the bullets actually coming through the windows. General French and his brigade must have made a wonderful march, as the Boers did nob expect him for another 48 hours. The method cf Boer war fare seems to me peculiar. They do not form a camp or bivouac as we do, but the members of a family, with their relatives, pitch a tent and live together, and will be some distance from anyone else, They do not fight as an organised body or under contro 1. When there is to be a battle, a message is sent to them, and they either go or stay as they please, Except those we saw under General Botha, who include the Johannesburg Police, who are a fine, smart lot, and are very well mounted, the other commandoes wa saw are miserable subjects."

THE STOKE CASE.

THE SECOND CASE CONCLUDED.

VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY

United Press Aaßociation—By Electric Telegraph

Wellington, Nov 23 The second case against Brother Kilian, for aseaalt in the echool ©n the Maori boy, John Davis, who he is alleged to have punched on the eye, was heard to-day in the Supreme G jnrfc. James Solaa, otherwise Brother Klilian, giving evidence op his own behalf, said he had struck Davis on one occasion, aa the boy had misbehaved daring prayers. The nsaal weapon of punishment at the echool was a supplejack. If any boy refused to hold his hand out he was struck on the back or legs till he did so. Cross-examined by the Crown Prose cutor, witness said he was the person who administered punishment to the boys in the cells with a stick. Yes, while the boys were locked in the cells they were taken out on successive days and caned with a supplejack.

By you ? Yea.

Bo you say that was nob cruel treat ment ?

I did neb believe it was cruel then. What do you say now ? I do not believe it was. What was the longest period for which a boy was imprisoned in the cells I do nob know ?

Has any boy been in the cells for a month 9 | heaid & boy waa there. I heard ab the, time of the Commission ihat a boy v&a Imprisoned for two months. What is your own knowledge % I cannot swear as to the time., Please give me an answer % 1 know a boy was imprisoned "f or three or. four weeks.

How many times did yo'a use the supplejack on him ? Mob more than three or i/jar occasions. How many strokes did, you give him each time ? four to six.

la answer to farther questions, witness denied having esed Ma fierio strike Pavls,- and contradicted a suggestion that a boy named McßlftiiiGaid had been taken from the cells and caned on four successive days. Boys had been im prisoned in tbe cells under the direction of the head teacher, Brother Loetus.

The jmy retired at 5.88 pm, and in less than ten minutes came back with a verdict of not guilty.

Accused was discharged, and bail was continued on the other charges against him, concerning which the Ceown prosecutor will make a statement en M.-iaclay. ______________ ■

• Was Very Weak Lost Flesh Rapidly, Took Quantities of Medicine, Failed ail the Time. ( Was Quickly Cured with Ayer's Sarsaparilla " Some time ago I had a very severe attack of influenza which left me greatly weakened. I lost flesh rapidly and was in a very bad way. " I took quantities of medicine, but constantly grew worse all the time. Finally, I tried Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to improve from the start. "I took about six bottles and was perfectly cured. I have used this remedy in my family a great deal and I know it to be a thoroughly reliable health giving compound and family medicine." John Murrell, Kailway Station Master, of Sunnybank, Queensland, sends us this letter together with his photograph, which we reproduce above. This is a strong letter, one which must remove all doubt. It is additional |' proof that Ayer's Sarsaparilla is "The World's Greatest Family Medicine."
