in private dwelling, but was pursued by the
crowd. The house was broken open, sacked,
and the sub-prefect, discovered in his hiding
place, was barbarously aSsassinated, and his
body drawn through the streets by the
drunken crowd, who every moment outraged
the remains by Kidding them with bullets
and Sashing the face with knives and
hatchets. From Chicaya, a neighboring
town, armed assistance was sent by the
authorities. The principal ringleaders
