were to hold the drift and construct a
fort. The position, however, wub ex
tremely dillicult, u long rnngo of high
liille niimiiiK northwuHt mid terminating
close to tho drift, on tho north bank of
the river. As it was inipoaaibln to hold
the whole summit, General MncDonald
CDtHtrueted strong works across tbe
center, which worn hold by tho Senforth

Illiiuk Watch. While the Highland light
infantry hold a small kopje on the right,
the Ninth lancers patrolled toward the

to repel attacks.
Things wunt quietly until Wednesday,
when the Boors advanced alone the
rhlgo within 000 yards, mounting two
mountain eovun-poundora, which weie
invinihlu in the plain. They alao held a
iiimiller drift three miles to tbe west. On
receipt of this nuws, General Metliuon
dispatched a large force of cavalry and
two homo batteries under General
lliililugtuu with the purposo of sur
rounding tho Uoore. In order to further
this plan, General MacDonald adopted
merely defensive taction. It was not at
tempted to force back tbe Boots' right,
which move might have resulted in their
general retirement soon.
General Itabingtou left Modder river
at 11 ::t() in the morning, and arrived
within two miles of Koodoraberg at 11 :!10
p. in,, too lute to attempt the turning

found that the lloera bad fled from the
lower drift, but still remainod on tho
hill, where they perceived Babingtou's
movements. Early in tbe morning
Hublngton vigorously shelled the rotir

Bible Texts Not Regarded as a Good
Defense, But He Was Held to
Circuit Court.
Okegon City, Feb. 10. Coroner M.
C. Strickland today held an inquest over
the remains of Mrs. S. . Quint, who
died at Gladstone last Thursday, and
returned a verdict that Mrs. Quint,
whose age was C3 years, came to ber
death through lack of med ical attendance,
and from misplaced confidence in the
ability to cure disease of one A. W.
Hertzka, a so-called Christian Science11
practitioner of Portland.
Hertzka was the chief witnees. He
gave his age as twenty-two, and eaid be
was formerly a bookkeeper in a Spokane
store, and had later taken up tbe busi
ness of healing disease by the Christian
Science plan. He admitted be hed no
license to practice medicine, and all
throueb his testimrny he quoted Script
ure to ehow tbatCbriet cured disease by
faith and prayer, and averred that he
waa following the same method. He said
that he bad given Mrs. Quint no medi
cine, whatever, and had nsed no means
except the mind. It was brought out in
the evidence that Hertzka bad paid Mrs.
Quint three or four visits, and bad made
a contract toreat her for $5 per week.
Dr. E. A. Sommer testified that the
wooian'a death was caused bv uraemio
coma, which couia nave oeen .wroogiii

about by heart trouble, kidney disease
or other dieorder. When he was called
in he eaid it was too late to give a correct
diagnosis.
After the inquest was concluded
Hertzka was arrested on a warrant
charging him with practicing medicine
without a license. He waa examined
before Justice Schuebel, who held tbe
defundent to (he circuit court, fixing his
bonds at if 100. It waa some time before
Hertzka could find a surety. Mrs. Goerge
Herron came to the rescue and signed
bis bonds.
