it Is possible ti form a Keii.ral idea of the
scop. of the operations. The Itoeis appear
to be concent rated in considerable force
anion? the hills whi-h s-retdi like an are-le-nt
Ikiw from the neighborhood of Karte
Siling to Thaba N"ch:i and whu-h cover
the main road from H'oemfonti-in to Win

clear the Hoers out of three kopjs to the
east of Rioemfonteln. and this was done by
mounted infantry in co-operation with Max
weirs brigade.
Tucker, who had seized the town of
Vlakfonteln the day before, was in com
mand. The Itoer" nlKimlor-ed thir hlde-and-"eek
tactic" and came otit In th" open
plain. T'.ey suffered severe Io---e- n this
stand-up tight.
On the same day the Drlti"h forces at
HOui N'ek twtlve miles north of Thaba
N'Chu. gained possession of a pas com
ma tide.) on tsith sides by li.ier". The Ca
nadian" and Gordons stormed the hill on
the left, while the Shropshire." and Mar
shall's Horse attacked in front, driving the
burghers In confusion to the north.
Dtiebtle-'s the object of these movement;
l to try to thrust bark the Hoers far to
the e-itvvard and make th'-ir advanced in
trer.ehment" at ISramlfort untenable, thus
baring thf way for the trotps moving t;p
