In other words, the doctor maintains

contains a reproduction of everything

last, captured the police post at Ma-

detachment of the border police. The
garrison retreated, to a new post, held
by a detachment of the Second Pun-
jab Infantry, reaching there the next
morning. As the flying column com-
manded by Colonel Richardson, which
left Kangu on Thursday to reinforce
the post on the Samana range, which
was attacked by insurgents, was re-
turning after repulsing the enemy, the
enemy rallied and attaoked the British
force on the plain. The tribesmen,
however, although in great strength,
were again driven off with heavy loss
of life.

The situation of the outlying garri-

to Quetta, the centre Ut interest, in
view of the urgent need of reinforce-
ments, and Colonel Gordon to -day
will lead a column of troops through
the Kogan pass into the Samana dis-
trict.
On the other hand, there is a hope-

port that dissensions have broken out

A strong coilumn of native troops and
the Royal Iriish Regiment, with four
guns, under command of Col. Richard-

Kurum valley forts, and another force
has been sent to the assistance of the
Shimwari garrison.
CAPTURED BY TREACHERY.
It has developed that the capture of
Fort Lundi Kotal was accomplished
through treachery, and that the ori-
ginal reports that a fight lasting two
hours took place within the walls of
the fort is unfounded. It was this
news which led to the disarming of a
portion of the garrison at Jamrud.

A MOUNIA
Two ear -old child Carried Off While Its
Foster -Mother Slept.
A despatch from Casper, Wyo., says:
—A two-year-old child was carried
away by a mountain lion on Casper
mountain on Thursday morning. A
fruitless search has been made by herd-
ers of flocks and miners, day and night,
to find the baby. The little one is
an orphan, whose mother died last year
and whose father had put it into the
keeping of a family by the name of
Henderson, who is herding sheep ten
miles from Casper, at the head of the
canyon.
At daylight on Thursday, Mr. Hen-
derson followed his flock leaving the
wife and the orphan charge sleeping
in camp. When he returned at 8
o'clock for breakfast, the woman was
still asleep and the baby gone. It had
awakened and toddled off in its night
dress. A search was at once made for
the little one and its bare feet tracks
were found leading to a spring nearly
a mile away. Near the spring were
found also fresh tracks of a huge
mountain lion. No other trace of the
babe has been found. There is known
to be a den of four lions on Casper
mountain,. No hopes are entertained
of finding the babe alive.
