IN DUEL WITH THREE BOERS. lergcant Mason or the Colonials, Did Some l-‘ine shooting. Writing of the fighting around Pot- .gieter’s Drift, Bennett Burleigh, cor- respondent cit the London Daily Tele- graph, says :-â€" ' ' “Sergeant Mason, a former Glas- gow man and Durban hansom cab driver, did some fine shooting. He and other. Colonials by adoption are crack shots. '.While potting Boers at 1,500 yards’ range, ‘he chanced to turn and saw three creeping up the moun- tain side upon :his left’ rear. Drop- ping his sights he bowled one over, the man falling across a rock and never stirring, for he was shot through the heart. An instant later he fatally wounded the second, who tumbled headlong down hill. The third caught sight of his helmet and rifle ‘ and dodged behind a bowlder. ” Then a duel ensued between twain, Sergeant Mason and the Boer. Every time Mason 'tried to peep around the Boer banged at him. The Sergeant returned the compliment. Five Mauser bullets were put through Mason's helmet, cutting his hair once or twice, but leaving him uninjured. Dlhers came perilously near his throat, arm and hands. Finally the Boer drilled a hole through Mason’s shoulder. Wounded, he changed the rifle to ‘his left, resting it upon the look. A lucky shot of the Sergeant’s touched the Boer, who fell forward, with his head between the rocks, Then Mason "made siccar,” putting ashot or two into the head, which’ never 'budged. 'Weak from loss of blood, Mason arose, retired, had his wound dressed and then action." . . ~‘â€"°â€"â€"â€"-â€"~ President Feitner, of the Depart- ment, [says that the State Board of Tax Commissioners will add at least $100,000,000 to New York city assess~ men-ts. , 1 ___._..¢__.._ THE FLETCHER CASE A 'Petrolea Lady Vanquishes a Stubborn and Persistent Enemy- £he Was for Months 9.
