Miscellaneous Articles on the same page:

A fatal accident has occurred on the railway line at Touws River, by which a man named Carl du Toit met with a fearful death. He was repairing a stop-block on the branch line, when some trucks were shunted, pinning him between the buffer of the truck and the stop-block. The impact was so great that the body was almost cut in two.

At a meeting of the male parishioners of St. George’s Cathedral, Cape Town, the Dean nominated as his churchwarden Mr. O. D. Douallier. Mr. E. K. Harcombe was elected people’s churchwarden. The congregation then elected ten sidesmen, viz: Messrs. I. Klerck, A. Traviss, H. Traviss, Attwell, Dr. St. Leger, Dr. Cox, E. von Witt, A. H. Kingsley, J. Curtiss, and J. Lindsay.

At the annual meeting of the South African Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society held in the hall of the Y.M.C.A., Cape Town, the Dean of Cape Town presiding, the report of the Rev. L. Nuttal, General Secretary, showed that good progress had been made. The report recorded the circulation of many thousands of copies of the Scriptures in Kafir, Sechuana, Sesuto and Zulu. During the war, despite immense difficulties, the circulation had greatly increased. The total distribution for 1901 amounted to 49,417 copies.

Arthur Theodore Pugsley, a trooper in the S.A.C., pleaded guilty at Durban to three charges of having obtained money and goods under false pretences. Accused represented to Harvey, Greenacre and Co. that he was Lieutenant Harris, and obtained goods valued at £3 11s. 9d. He also got £8 from a man named Dickson, and another sum of money from another man. Accused stated that he had not been well treated in the S.A.C., and deserted. Having no money, he committed the acts charged against him. An officer, who appeared on behalf of the Commandant, said it was the intention of the military authorities to proceed against the accused for desertion and for forging a permit. Sentence of six months was imposed by the Magistrate.
