DREDGING SHARE MARKET.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Dunedin, This Day. Messrs. Sligo Brothers report the following quotations to-day:
MODERN THREE MUSKETEERS.
Three Irish lads who pledged firm friendship at school now lie together in a South African grave. Troopers Oliffe, M‘Leau and Bonynge were at the same Sunday School in Dunedin, and for twelve years were membeis of the Boys’ Brigade at Trinity Church, Lower Gardiner Street. In the undying attachment thus formed they resolved to stick together always. When the Imperial Yeomanry was formed they joined the 74th Company together, and left Dublin for the front. Here they went through the same hardships and fought in the same engagements, and when the fatal attack on Rooikopje was made the three brave Irish boys fought and fell together defending the convoy. They were buried together, according to their wish. At a recent memorial service in Dublin the mothers of the dead heroes sat together on the seats their brave sons had occupied.
