Mr. F.S. GRAHAM, of Oberon, has received a letter, dated Pretoria, September 17 [1900] from Trooper Frederick ELLIOTT. The writer has something to say of the historic fight at Elands' River - "The Boers shut us in there for about 12 days, and peppered us with all the shooting implements they had, but did not succeed in shifting us, though we lost over 1000 head of cattle, horses, and mules. We used to lie all day behind the best shelter we could find, and lived well on the tinned provisions we had piled up for protection."
