of about 300 whites started out about midnight They arrived at the posts of the enemy just at daylight Sharp fighting followed in close ters There was n handful of whites well armed against an army of blacks poorly armed Gradually the les by sheer force of numbers forced the whites back to the town fighting foot by foot The loss of the enemy is reported all way from 400 to 1000 while the British loss is not stated but it is believed to be more severe than the commanders are willing to admit Hand to Hand Fight Unofficial accounts declare that there was a great deal of unnecessary delay in getting started Consequently the Matabeles were fully prepared to re- them There was determined fighting on both sides at close range When almost surrounded the British retreated Besides being a complete failure the waste of so much of the small stock of ammunition is the worst feature Two Girls Drown Themselves MENOMINEE Wis April Varney and Emma Cunningham aged 16 and 15 years respectively
