Page 2 of 8 Current Events ___ What is described as "one of the most sur- prising incidents of the war" occurred on November 9th at Orebyfontein, near Harris- mith. A small force was skirmishing there when a six-year-old Boer boy walked up to Private HUGHES of the 1st King's Dragoon Guards, and, when close to him, deliberately shot him in the abdomen with a revolver he had concealed. The wound proved fatal on the following day. The details of this inci- dent are vouched for by a sergeant of Private HUGHES'S troop, who has sent full particulars to the War Office, and also by one of HUGHES'S comrades. Revolutions are not made of rose- water, and wars do not smack of white wine. *************** |
