o'clock this morning some of them who had
been busy celebrating and had gotten in too
deep came around to the wharf and threatened
trouble if the others did not knock of work
also. For q while war and bloodshed
were imminent and word was at once sent to
police headquarters. The patrol wagon and
seven officers soon reached the scene of action,
but before they arrived the trouble and the
men had both passed away, consequently there
were no arrests.

Terrible Vengeance of the Dacoits ON the
Friends of Their Enemies.
A headman informed me one day as /
passed through his village of the where
abouts of a well-known dacoit few
miles of. On this information the man
was tracked and executed an hour or
two afterward. Some months later this
headman and his brother, both we'll dis
posed to our rule, were waylaid and MUIR
dered by the gang to which the above
mentioned dacoit chief had belonged
In another case man who had been inn
pressed to serve the dacoits as cook and
baggage-carrier escaped and took refuge
in well-defended post only, however,
to hear few days later that his old
mother. who was living in her native
village, had the night before been MUIR
dered. Some information ON which one
or two dacoits were captured was given
by q man who himself lived in large
town with military station, and was,
therefore, safe. His nearest relatives,
however, mother, sister, wife, two
young children, and an infant q few
hours old, living in their own village,
were very shortly afterward all muir
dered in one night They were be-
headed and laid out in row, from the
largest at one end to the baby at the
other. Such was the terrible vengeance
of the dacoits on the families of those
who were themselves out of reach.
Hundreds Of similar INSTANCES might be
related, all showing the same system,
and only differing one from another in
the various methods by which the acts
of revenge were carried out
Whenever the dacoits believed that
they were in no danger of interruption
from our troops, elaborate tortures were
added to simple assassination; If, how.
ever, sudden alarm was raised, . blow
of the dab from each OF the rang in
succession made their vengeance sure,
1t Is astonishing how accurate the in
formation Of the dacoits frequently is.
and how carefully they watch the move
ments of every post A district magis-
trate, accompanied by the officer COM
manding the military police and by .
district superintendent of civil police,
returning from village c. through vii
lage b. where post was to be estab.
lished) to village A., received intelli
gence the day after their arrival Of an
attack upon B. and the murder of .
woman whose husband and brother had
both rendered US an important service.
The dacoits waited to perform this
outrage until the officers had passed
back through B. with baggage and per-
sonsl escort. thus seizing the most IA
vorable opportunity for their purpose,
as any conveys would have accompanied
the party to save escort and no patrol
was likely to pass directly after the pas
