“ROBBERY UNDER ARMS”

On a recent night, a couple of mounted men, masked and armed, rode up to a store on the western outskirts of Pretoria and demanded the cash of the owner, a man named Karpes. The latter called for help, and his father, who lived across the road, came to his assistance. One of the robbers at once shot the old man dead, and then rode off, followed by his companion. The police gave chase soon afterwards, but the robbers succeeded in getting clear away in the darkness. An arrest was subsequently made on suspicion.

FIRES AT PORT ELIZABETH

Two serious fires broke out at Port Elizabeth recently within three days of each other. The first occurred in the Mutual Arcade, the new building of the South African Mutual Insurance Company, and the premises of Messrs. Hammerschlog and Co., tobacconists, were completely gutted. The second fire was in South Union Street, on the premises of a draper named Myron, and before being extinguished damage to the extent of over £1000 was done.

The housing difficulty at Bloemfontein continues to be acute. Tents have been erected on private lands, but the occupants of town lands, who have erected tents, have been given notice to quit. A piece of ground, however, will be set aside for the use of the ejected.

MACLEOD of MACLEOD, who was 64 this week, is the chief of the survivors of a clan that once was very large in the Highlands. He resides at Dunvegan Castle, in the Isle of Skye, which is claimed to be the oldest inhabited private house in Scotland, as it has been the ancestral home of the Macleods since the ninth century. The chief, who is the 23rd to hold that title, was 14 years in the 74th Highland Light Infantry, retiring in 1872 as a captain. He served in the Zulu War of 1879, acting as political agent, and received a C.M.G. for his services.
