Boers Shot for Being Slow.

The Second Imperial Light Horse, which is made up of Natalians, is busy in Swaziland. The regiment has captured 1,000 head of Boer cattle. Some of the men met a Boer party consisting of a commandant and several other officers. They ordered the Boers to throw up their hands. Two who were slow in obeying the order were winged, whereupon the party surrendered. Later a number of snipers were captured. The regiment then captured a convoy of twenty-six wagons and a number of cattle, sheep and horses. Later another convoy of ten wagons was captured. . T
