Outwit the British Boer General De Wer Raid Foiled
Boer General De Wer reportedly cut Lord Roberts's line of communication by railway and telegraph and captured 100 Highlanders and a supply train. Telegrams from General Knox and General Kelly-Kenny describe rail and telegraph disruption, enemy advances toward Honing Spruit, and 2,000 Boer combatants with four guns heading toward Roodeyal. The report notes several engagements, some withdrawals, and ongoing cavalry pursuit. Also noted is the will contest of Frederick M. Mooers, miner of the Yellow Aster mine, as Frances L. Mooers challenges the will on grounds of undue influence and incompetence. The estate is valued at about $780,000.
