The alleged bogus burial of ths

Mapondcra, a Kori-kori chief. was born in Portuguese East Africa. some time about the year 1>40. The first portion of his life was spent in pur- suits usual to an African chiefs son in those days; in fighting and feast. ing
 Mapondera was bold leader, and when quite young man succeeded to the chietship lie immediately began series of raids upon the weaker tribes which surrounded him and frequently came into collision with the Portuguese, then the only European race in that part ef the world. Expeditions without number were sent out 10 effect his capture: but they were always unsuccessful. and al last the Portuguese uutIaNcd him and left him al peace.
 Left alone. Mapoudera soon ob. tained undisputed sway over a large area of country. collecting toll and otherwise asserting sovereignty over the weaker tribes. His name soou became a terror to his enemies and his skill and bravery in war won The admiration and ready obedience of his followers.
 About 1S75, F, C, sclous, the great est lion-hunter the world has ever seen reached Northeastern Mashona- land, where Mapondera had his head kraal or village ScIous was al that time a young man, but his fame as a killer of lions and other dangerous brutes had preceded him, and he was received with great respect by Mapondera. He was treated kindly and when he left he presented the chief with an old muzzle-loadiug gun. but no powder or shot Mapoudera was delighted with his present, and Selous departed amid the beating of tomtoms and every expression of friendliness, with permission to hunt elephant throughout Mapondcra's country.

t. Sclous as a guide, entered Mason alaud and took possession of that country in the name of Queen Vic roria.
 This was the beginning of Mapon- ucra's end. Instead of the easy-go- ing methods of the Portuguese, he had to contend with well-drilled and wcIlorganized military force, known as the British South Africa police This mobile force secured the coun- try and Mapondera crossed the bord- er into Portuguese territory. During fhe Matabelc war in 1893, he was not heard from. but when the Mata- hele rebellion broke out in 1897 Mapondera early distinguished himself by joining the rebels and murdcriug an isolated member of the E $. A. P. in most treacher- ou, manner
 A The close of the rebellion he again escaped into Portuguese terri tory. where, of course, an armed British force could not follow him Napoudera was now getting old, and decided to try an easier way of mak- ing living
 \ large number of natives leave Central Africa each year to work in thc mines of Rhodesia and the Trans yaal These natives had to pass through Mapondera's country Ma pOudcra knew, of course. that when the natives left their villages they had nothing. so they were not mo tested on the outward journey. But when they returned after a year or two they generally had large sums in gold, sufficient to purchase one or two wives. This was too much for MapOndera. who organized a regular system of waylaying the un- fortunate returning laborers, mob bing them and murdering them so that they could not squeal to the authorities
 This went on for years Mapon- dera, with his spies on every hill. Top got ample warning of the ap- proach of the police, and living near the border he had no difficulty in making good his escape
 Al last, late in 1903, a strong ex- petition was sent against him, but before the troops could get into ac- tion Mapondera accidentally ran into a small body of scouts and was cap tured

He went into the witness box, and pitted his na- tive Craftiness and brains against the ablest lawyers in the country. al though his guilt was beyond ques- ton. It was an interesting sight to see old MapOndera. hero of hun dred fights making the fight of his life for the few years that yet remain ed to him. He stood in the witness box. naked except for loin cloth. of the best criminal lawyers in South Africa with clevcrness that was surprising, laughing heartily when he perceived that an attempt was being made 10 entrap him into some damaging admission. He denied that he was the principal chief of the tribe. He asserted that he had al ways been a friend of the white man. and cited the Selous incident to prove it. But his vanity was his undoing
 Ii appeared from the evidence that on one occasion. when the tribe was going on the war path, there had been some discussion as to whether MapOndera was not too old to lead the warriors. Questioned as to what occurred when the matter was plac- ed before the tribe at the ndaba Mapondera forgot all about his trial glorious days when he was a great chief and leader amongst his peo- pie. He threw up his hands and said They shouted 'Mapondera, Mapon- dera, Mapondera is our chief"
 This settled things so far as the white jurymen were concerned, but on account of the prisoners great age they found him guilty of murder in the second degree and he was sentenced to five years Imprisonment
 Even this short period of confine- ment was too mu h for the old man who had spent sixty years of free dom under Rhodesias sunny skies, and he died of measles in Salisbury jail five months after he was sen fenced.
