The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

Thus stood the score at the fclusion of the first Association foot- jball game in the B.C. cup competi- i-*tion yesterday afternoon. As the above score would indicate, the visitors were altogether outclassed by the home boys, Ladysinith won and deserved so to do, for in nearly every respect her players were decidedly superior to those of* Nanaimo, who seemed to lack strength, and staying powers, and whose combina- |tion was most ragged. The play of tho, Ladysmith men yesterday was at times exceedingly pretty and clever, which only tends to show what can be accomplished by,continual practice. In the match a week ago, the combination of the men was very poor, whereas [yesterday, it was in many stages of 'the game almost perfect.

They 'arrived here Friday on the steamer G.eorty, of the Austrian American line sailing from Trieste two weeks ago; All were residents of Zimtom- era, in Kief, and they left large families behind when thev were imprisoned into the Russian Army. Unexpectedly, one morning, more than two months ago a body of Cossacks swooped down upon their town and at sabre points forced 1,200 men to leave their homes and start for the front. Two of the men, El- yias and Moses Wilenisky, brothers, were among the wealthiest men of the town, and said that all their pro perty was confiscated and their families left in destitution. They were formerly paint manufacturers, and as_ the brothers were taken from their desks more than 150 of their employees were driven along with them.' Six of them escaped, and are among the party which arrived here. One of thc brothers said 13,000 rubles was taken from his safe by the Cossacks. "Time was not given us to say goqjLbj'e to our families," said'Moses- Wilcntsky. In\other years all men who had served for three years in the army or had large families, were exempt from the military service'. . The brothers said that after they had-been taken out cf town ty the Cossacks ��������� they were put in a train and started for St. Peters-burg. Although closely guarded, many :uniped tlnough the car windows, sev oral of whom were killed. Several got away* at railroad stations, and others were shot as they fled. Out of 1,200, about 200 escaped, and of this number sixty reached Trieste and obtained passage" for America.

Of course these -people had a palisade fort on part of their property. This had a palisade fence around it and at each cornsr a bastion,* where soldiers were stationed and in the centre a big block house, where , a,ll the ammunition was kept. Around this were four or the houses where the people lived. Madeleine had no playmates, so she asked the Fontaine family to come over and spend the 'day- She went down to the ri\er to see if her visitors were coming, Inn 'while she was there; she heard shots fired. She- sent a servant lo see what caused the noise, lie ca-; c bock running,'and told Madeleine lhe Iroquios were coming. She screamed aloud "Aux .
