About 100 sheep are said to have
been killed by a party of cattlemen op
posed to their grazing on Brush creek,

men, the cattlemen have regularly

which calls them together. Serious
trouble is almost certain to arise from
these outrages, says the Pendleton Re
publican, as it seems that the perpe
trators cannot easily be reached by

the sheepmen making reprisals.

advancement that has been made In
the city since those early days. Un
fortunately the files of the old Moun
taineer haye not been presei-ved, else
they would supply a fund of history of
this place that cannot be obtained else

How Many Apples Were There?
County Clerk Kelsay has a problem
connected with an apple stealing case
(not one of his youthful discrepancies,
however) that will furnish food for
mathematicians to work on these win
ter nights. It. is this; Three boys
stole a sack oi apples, and during the
night boy &o- 1' awoke and thinking
be'mlght not get a fair deal, divided
he apples in thirds and bad one a,p,ple
left. Boy No. 2 next awojgd. and dlvl
ded the remainn. apples into thirds
and had fine left over. Then boy No,
3 awpke and surmising that he might
not get his share, divided the remain
Ing apples Into thirds and had one left.
How many apples were there in the
first place and how many did each boy
get?

BIG VICTORY!
British Lose Two Thous
and Men.
London, Oct. 31. Following Is the
text of General White's aispatcn to
the war office:
"Ladysmith, Oct. 30. 1 nave to re-
port a disaster to tbe column sent oy
me to take a position on a hill to guard
tbe left flank of :he troops. In these
operations today the Royal Irish
fusiliers, No. 10 mountain battery and
tbe Gloucestershire regiment were
surrounded in tbe hills, and after
losing heavily, had to capitulate.
Casualties have noil yet been ascertain
ed.
"A man of tbe fusilier employed as a
hospital orderly came in under a flag
of truce with a letter from the sur
vivors of the column, who asked for
assistance to bury the aeau. 1 Tear
there Is no doubt of tbe truth of the
report. I formed a plan In the carry
ing out of which tbe disaster occurred,
and I am aloue responsible for the
plan. There is no blame whatever to
the troops, as the position was unten
able."
London, Oct. 31. Reports are cur.
rent here that General wnite may
retire to Pietermaritzburg while the
railroad Is Intact. There is much
divergence of opinion in military cir
cles as to the (.dvisibillty of such a
step.
KEUBCTING TO COMTIMD1C.
One Thousand Men a . Month Will be
Needed.
New York, Oct. 31. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Notwithstanding that all of tbe new
volunteer regiments have their full
quota of men, there Is still a chance
for "young America" to serve his
country in the Philippines, Cuba or
Puerto Rico. Army reoruting is to go
along to fill existing vacancies In all
of the places, but under a somewhat
different system.
Orders will be Issued In a day or two
relieving tbe 10U omders now on re
oruting service, to take effect on Decem
ber l next, and closing some tempor
ary recuitlng rendevous. Instead of
more than 100 stations, there will be
only 42 after tbe date mentioned.
Dispatches were sent to General Otis,
General Brooke and General Davis a
few days ago directing them to design-
nate. oe officer from eacv regiment
within their respective .com ands for
recru,ltlng service. v
Tbe army Is now recruited toylthln
1000 men of its authorised strenght of
00,000 men, t is estimated that ya-
can,oiea will occur in the Philippines
by reason of casultlea and expiration
of terms of service, at the rate of 500 a
month, and; at about the same rate
among the troops in the United States
and. Cuba and Puerto Gico, making
about 1000 men that will be required
each month.

Bon, Down and Killed.
Pohtu&ND, Nov. 1. One false step
caused the death of J. H. Cole, a
switchman in the Alblna terminal
yards of the O. R. & N. Company at
10 o'clock this mornini.
Cole was running ahead of an empty
car to turn tbe switch, when his foot
caught in a frog and be was thrown on
the track in front of the car. Before
he could release his foot the car ran
him down. He lived half an hour
after the accident and died on his way
to the hospital.
Little Is known of Cole at the com

Maw.- Soldiers Organization.
The organization of the soldiers of
the Spanish and Filipino wars is a nat
ural and proper result of a tendency of
tbe. times, We are a people of "jlners,"
and there is quite sufficient grounds
for the new organisation and it de
serves to succeed, provided always, that
it sedulously refrains from going into
politics. Tbe proposition to coalesce
with tbe G. A. R. was wisely rejected
by that organization of veterans. Each
organization can be of benefit to its
members in ics own way. and while
working on similar lines and In sym
pathy with each other, a combination
would be such a mixture of age and
youth as to lead to, (rlottan. if not
rupture.

TEIXS HOW IT HAPPBMKO.
General White Relates the Incidents of
Monday's Battle.
London, Nov. 1. The war offlje to
day made public a dispatch from Gen
eral White, describing the operations
of Monday. It Is as follows:
We took out from Ladysmith a brig
ade of mounted troops, two brigade
divisions of tbe royal artillery, the
Natal field battery, and a brigade of
infantry to reconnoiter and force tbe
enemy's main position. In connection
with this an advance column consist
ing of the Teatb mountain artillery,
four half companies of tbe Glouoesters
and six companies of the Royal Irish
fusileer, under Lieutenant Colonel
Carlton and Major Ayde. was dispatch
ed to march by nlgbt up the Bell
spruit, thus turning the enemy's right
flank.
Circumstances which attended the
movement of Carlton's column are not
yet fully known. But from reports
reoeiyed the column appears to have
carried out the night march unmolest
ed, until within two miles of Nichol
son's Nek. At this point two boulders
rolled from tbe hill and a few rifle shots
stampeded the infantry ammunition
mules. The stampede spread to the
battery mules, which ran away with
practically the whole of tbe gnn equip
ment and the greater portion of the
small arm ammunition. The reserve
was similarly lost. The infantry bat
talion fixed bayonets, and accompanied
by the personnel of the artillery, seized
a hill two miles from the Nek, with put
little opposition.
At dawn the skirmish attack on our
position was commenced by the enemy
Their fire became very searching and
two (companies of Glouoesters were
ordered to fall back. The enemy then
pressed to short range, the losses on
our side became very numerous. At 3
p. m. our ammunition was practically
exhausted. The position wag captured
and the survivors of the column fell
into the enemy's bands. The want of
success was due to tbe stampede of tbe
mules, and the eooseq uence loss of guns
and the small arm ammunition reserve.
The security of Ladysmith Is In no way
affeoted.

a Attempt to Combine all the lade
pendent Telephone Lines. '
Philadelphia, Nov. 1. The North
American says: One of the greatest
financial combinations of the century
is in process of formation. The organ
izers of the Continental Telegraph.
Telephone & Cable Company, recently
organized in New Jersey, have ob
tained control of all the independent
telephone companies In the United
States and aim to combine these with
the great telegraph companies and tbe
five Atlantic cable companies. The
office of the new concern' Is in the
American Surety Company's building,
New York city.
From various sources information
reached the North American that the
capitalists interested in the venture
include J. P. Morgan, George J.
Gould, John Jacob Astor, William C.
Whitney, P. A. B. Widener and Wil
liam L. Elklns. Verification of the
story was obtained tonight from Mr.
Widener at his home li Ogontz." He
talked freely of the colossal scheme,
which, he says, will bring about a
sweeping reduction in the cost of the
transmission of electrical messages all
over the country. Among other things
he said: .
"The plan has been under consider
ation for some time. Mr. Martin Ma
loy, who was the active agent in the
enterprise, and may be said to have
engineered it, baa been in New York
for about a year. His efforts culmin
ated when. he succeeded in interesting
several big financiers in New York.
Among the number was John Jacob
Astor. He is now one of the promi
nent movers in the concern. J. Pler-
pont Morgan, whose name has been ,
mentioned in connection with the con
solidation, is not connected in any
way with it."

the World from Brussels says: Pr.
Leyda made an Important statement as
to tbe denials of tbe London newspa
pers of the reports that the British
were levying reorults among the
native population of South Africa.
I formally accuse Great Britain,"
said Dr. Leyds, "of arming the colored
races of South Africa against the Boers
and I make this accusation with a due
sense of its gravity and an absolute
knowledge of its accuracy."
