How Boers Treacherously Shot Down Canadians.

—

Corseral Darrel Ince Warren, form esly tieutenant of the Governor-Gen- esal’s Body Guards, and now with the Royal Canadian Dragoons in South Arca, writes to his tather from Bel- | fast, under date of Oct. 9, as_ follows:

“You see we are no longer at Won- derfontein, which place we left on Sanday two weeks ago. Two weeks Before leaving there we had a sad time of it. [ received orders to take theee men and a Cane cart and go off tothe hills, about four miles away, aad bring in a load of oat straw for te troop horses. Scize of us while srputing had seen this straw and a few days before in the shed of a Boer fem-hous:. We started off, with Troopers Thorntoa and Spence, mount- @t?, and acting as advance guard, and as my horse was pretty well played e@ut, I decided to give him a rest and ride in the cart with the driver, whose mame was Ratcliffe, from St. Cathar- imes,and a former miember of your wegiment, the 2nd Drazoons. Spence was Petersborough, and Thorton from Soronto. \Vearrived at rhe house sately. It was situated in a large val- key four miles fromcamp, and after getting our cart loaded, we went on wou: a quarter of a mile up the valley te some Kaffir kraals to purchase ehackens and eggs, which Mr. King liad given Spenge orders to get. Then wz started for camp.

When we had gone about half a ale we came to a creek, the botton of

wich being very rocky, Ratcliffe and Bigot out to cross, just at that moment we noticed three men, mounted and g@amding in behind some rocks up on dhe side of the hill. As soun as they aww that we had seen them they beck- eed to us and called us to come ever. I at once recognized them to ie Boers. But Thornton and Spence who were ahead, thinking them+to be ear men, rode toward them, and then the Boers fired. Thorntcn and Spence mamediately returned the fire, and then galloped up the valley about 200 yards, and dismounted to fire again. Spence, poor fellow, only fired one set, and thena bullet went crashing theough his brain, Radcliffe and I zum up, leaving the horses and cart in tie creek. Just as we got near Spence

were under cover of the rocks. After firing a few rounds Thornton attempt- ed to pull his horse in toward him to get him out of range cf the Boers, and just then a bullet struck him, entering the front of the Jeft shoulder and going out below the right shoulder blade.

Well, I thought it was all over with me whenI saw those three poor fei- lows all stretched out, and one of them dead. The Boers stopped firing a few minutes after Thornton was hit, and I then crawled over to him and bandaged up his wounds. Fortuuate- ly, they did not bleed much, external- ly atall events. Ithen crawled to the creek, got him a drink, and fixed him up as best I could, telling him I would try and get over to the nearest outpost and get help. Poor Radcliffe had died in the meantime.

I then managed to creep cut, and caught one of the horses, but the poor thing had also been badly wounded,

I ar- rived there safely, and one of the fe!- lows named Robinson, of Toro: to, of- fered to go back with me, and another one went to a farm house and got some Kaffirs to takea waggon, witha mat- tress on it, down for Thornton. Rob- inson and I got back just as it was getting dark, and found Thornton no worse than when I had left him. We waited about an hour and then the wagon and mattress turned up, but as we found his wounds were still bleed- ing we thought it would be dangerous to move him, and we decidedto re- main there all night. Wesent the wagon badk, but kept the mattress for Thornton to lie on.

We put in a terrible night with him, and early in the morning we could see the Boers hovering around like a lot of vultures, They kept drawing closer and closer, but, fortunately for us, just as they were getting within range, our ambulance came up and consequently putastop totheir sport. Thornton and thetwodead bodies were put in the ambulance together, and started off towards Belfast, while Robinson and I fourd our way back into the camp as best we could. Thornton is

clouds the mind. Constipation means that corruption is breeding in the body, poisoning the blood with its foul emanation, befogging the brain with its tainted exhala- tions. Constipation is the beginning of more disease than, perhaps, any other single disorder. The con- sequences of constipation are legion.

BRITISH AIMS. Set Forth by Mr. Chamberlain.

In the House of Commons a few days ago Mr. Chamberlainsaid that the Government had laid down three objects : First, to end the guerilla war. It would not surprise him if the Boers had destroyed more farms than the English. Never in history had war been waged with so much humanity. The women had only been deported for their protection. The native population was answerable for acts of proved outrage of women and children, and it had been shown that in no case had a British sol- dier being justly accused. The farm
