A PAINFUL SENSATION.
DESECRATION OF KRUGER'S GRAVE. Received October 20, 4.18 p.m. PRETORIA, October 19. A painful sensation has been caused in every section of Pretoria by the desecration of Kruger's grave. The bust was wrenched froni the base and lay a yard distant. Incidentally the tombstone of his grandchild, in the same plot, was slightly damaged. The statuette of an angel, at the head of the grave, was overturned. The act is attributed to an attempt to steal the bust and await the reward that probably would have been offered for its recovery. The bust proved to be heavier than was anticipated.
