BURGHERS THRASH
BENSON’S FORCES
Fierce and Bloody Conflict
at Close Quarters.
SCORES OF RED COATS SLAIN
Boers to the Number of Several
Hundred Swoop Down Upon
A British Rear Guard.
Lord Kitchener has reported to
the London war office a disaster to the
British near Bethel, eastern Transvaal,
in which two guns were lost, several
officers killed or wounded and fifty
four men killed and ICO wounded.
The following is the text of l»r<l
Kitchener’s dispatch, dated Pretoria,
November 1:
“I have just heard of a severe at
tack made on the rear guard of Colonel
Benson’s column when about 20 miles
northwest of Bethel, near Broken
laagte, during a thick mist.
“The strength of the enemy is re
ported to have been a thousand. They
rushed two guns with the rear guard,
but it is uncertain whether they were
able to remove them.
“I fear our casualties were heavy.
Colonel Benson was wounded, but not
severely, A relieving column will
reach him this morning.”
Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed as
follows:
“Colonel Barter, who marched from
the constabulary line yesterday, reach
c id Benson’s column early this (Fri
day) morning unopposed. He reports
that Colonel Benson died of his
wounds.
“The other casualties are as follows:
“Killed—Colonel S. Guinness, Major
F. 1). Murray, Captains M. W. Lindsay
and F. T. Thorould, Lieutenants E. V. I
Brooks and It. E. Shepherd and Second
Lieutenant A. J. Corlett.
"Died of wounds, Captain Eyre
Lloud.”
Lord Kitchener then gives the names
of thirteen other officers who were
wounded, most of them severely, and
announces that fifty-four non-commis
sioned officers and men were killed and
160 wounded, adding that four of the
latter have since died of their wounds.
The dispatch then says:
“I assume that the two guns have
been recovered and the enemy has
withdrawn, but I have no further de
tails.
“1 deeply regret the loss of Colonel
Benson and the other officers and men
who fell with him. In Benson the ser
vice loses a most gallant and capable
officer, who invariably led Ills column
with marked success and judgment.
“The fighting was at very close quar
ters and maintained with determina
tion on both sides The enemy suffered
heavily, InK i have not yet received a
reliable estimate.
“The Boers retired east.”

Use of Anti-Toxine for Diptheria
Caues Death of Innocents in
City of St. Lcuis.
A St. Louis, Mo., special says: The
list of deaths attributed to lockjaw as
a result of the administration of dlph
thoria antl-toxine manufactured by the
elty chemists number eleven, two now
deaths being reported Friday. Eleven
other children are reported to health
department as suffering from lockjaw,
with slight chances for recovery. The •
cause of lockjaw in each case Is said
to be poisoning from the city’s diph
theria auti-toxine.
As a result of the charges, the health
department has begun the free distrl- j
bution of tetanus anti-toxine. It Is de
signed to inject the serum into the (
blood of the diphtheria patients who j
hare boon Inoculated with the tetanus
Infected serum and this exposed to
lockjaw.
The health department has announc
ed that no more diphtheria anti-toxine
will be manufactured by the city of St.
Louis.
The investigation ordered by the
city coroner to determine positively
tho cause of the deaths of the eight
children who are alleged to have died
of lockjaw following the adminlstra
tionof the city’s anti-toxine is being
pushed, and it is expected that Us
object will be accomplished in a few
days. Doctors Bolton, Fish and Wal
dron, three of the most experienced
bacteriologists in St. Louis, are mak
ing tests with the anti-toxine and the
serum taken from the spinal columns
of tho dead children.
Dr. Ravohl, city bacteriologist, who
made tho anti-toxine complained of
from serum taken from a horse which
developed tetanus on October 1, and
was shot, declares that if the animal’s
system contained tetanus bacilli on
August 24, when the last serum was
taken from him, it was impossible to
detect It by aii Inspection of the horse.
At the Baptist hospital an independ
ent investigation has convinced Drs.
A. B. Nichols, P. C. Harris and C. C.
Morris that the presence of tetanus
germs in the city anti-toxine is in
disputable. A guinea pig was inocula
ted with the anti-toxine Wednesday
night, developed symptoms of lock
jay Thursday morning and died Fri
day.
Agnes Keenan, the 7-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. William Keenan,
died Friday from tetanus. Ches
ter and Mamie Keenan are also suffer
ing with lockjaw and their physician
does not hold out any hope for their re
covery. Two of the Keenan children
who have died were inoculated merely
for the sake of precaution, neither of
them being sick, though both had been
exposed to diphtheria.

SILVER BULLION MISSING.
Two Thousand Pounds of “Base”
Metal Disappears From Court Room.
At Omaha. Neb., Thursday a ton of
“base” silver bullion, worth some
thing over $1,000, mysteriously disap
peared from the criminal court room.

sometimes in hours of solitary reflection,
