would see that he was well punished for
his reckleSsness. and the damage to her
car and her own feelings was of no slight
consequence, and
Well. she was still talking and lectur-

the situation when aid arrived and the
cars were untangled. The sheriff arrest

Stirred UP by an Agitator.

Foreign rrespondence OF The Star.
CAPE TOWN, July 30 A remarka-
BILE incident at Taunga, Bechuanaland.
has just been revealed.
A few days ago two natives, one
kitchen boy from Mafeking, entered the
native village adjoining Taunga, one
proclaiming himself the Savior and the
other His prophet. The leader address
ed a large gathering OF the Batlapn
tribe numbering 1.s00 ending at eA-
citahle oraton by indicating the Euro
pean quarter of Taunga and declaring
Before the sun sets tonight not white
person must remain alive"
Inspector Gordon Turner who was
present arrested both men with the as
sistance of one policeman, and after a
scuffle took them to the magistrates
court The crowd OF 1900 natives fol-
lowed with menacing demeanor. They
swarmed into the magistrates court. in
perse. The magistrate was powerless, as
he had only the two police officers at
his command.
Eventually Molali. the Batlapin chief,
arrived and dispersed the rioters with a
horsewhip. The two men arrested were
committed for trial.
There have been no further disturb
ances, but the incident is officially re-
garded as serious. 1t is the first occa-
sion on which the Bechuana tribes have
shown gross disrespect for the magis-
trates. Moreover Molalrs influence has
been undesirably strengthened at the ex-
pense of white authority. The men ar.
rested belonged to the Ethiopian Church.
