He had four comrades there, he said, the

can.
I'VE were all treated very badly" he
continued, land when we asked for our

nients would be made at Bona.
LOTHAIRE's FIENDIsHNEss.
Capt. Lethaire accompanied Us to Bona,
where the two Norwegians, the American
and myself were quartered In q hut.
I'VE awoke IN the middle of the night
and found the hut on fire and ourselves
surrounded by flames, the WORK of Capt
Lothaire and four hIaca policemen. ne
made our escape from tue hut. and the
American accosfed Lothaire, asking:
- is this our tkanks?
"Lothaire drew hts sword and struck the
man on the back with il. and tue black
policemen. by Lothaire's orders, hound
him to a tree with icather thongs.
THE American being fastened securely,
Lothaire walked up to him and siaslied him
with mis- sword, woundinS him terribly
The NorweRfans and 1 were afraid to

BISHOP TAYLOR'S CHARGE.
Bradley added that Bishop Taylor. the
American missionary at Stanley Pool, told
him the real cause of Lotbaire's hang

Lothaire was Jealous of Stokes superior
abilities in dealing with the natives.
The bishop said that Stokes tod him
that Lethaire was his enemy because he
would not brihe him as the other traders
did.
