MURDEROUS ATTACK BY A NATIVE CAVALRY
SOLDIER ON A EUROPE/LI OFFICER WHILE ON PARADE.—
A murderous attack was made on Sunday morning list at
Deer by a trooper belonging to the Ist Light Cavalry on
Captain Stevens, attached to that regiment. From the
information we have received of the affair, it appears that
the men were on morning parade, when the scoundrel
rushed out from the maks and delivered a sabre cut oa the
bead of his officer before the latter was aware of his ap-
proach. Providentially the sword in descending first
struck the button in the centre of Capt. Stevens' cap,
thus altering the direction of the cut which merely pro-
duced a wound on the scalp. Had it not been for this
circumstance, there is no doubt that the brain would
have been cut into. We are glad to report, for the
credit of the regiment, that before the miscreant had
time to deal a second blow, he was cut down by five or six
men of the regiment, who promptly rushed forward on
seeing their officer attacked. The assassin on being
carried to hospital and there interrogated as to his mo-
tive for making this treacherous attack on his officer,
merely replied " That it wax his fate ; the sahib had
given him pall." The wound on Captain Stevens' bead is
not likely to prove fatal, but the wounds on the trooper's
head are of such a nature as to lender it extremely pro-
table that be will not survive many days. We hear that
the scoundrel has always horses bad character in the corps,
and on one occasion made a display of his ferocious nature
by relieving his better half of her nose.—Bombay Gazette,
June 29.
