many members Of the ancient sect
Of Charays, became greatly excited
over the refusal Of the Charays to
pay the usual revenue contributions.

the Charays had followed tradi-

geance Of heaven on the state BY
burning an old woman alive. She
had been placed on . pyre, which
was lighted by her nearest relatives.
When the troops attempted TO re-
cue the victim the villagers opposed
them with knives and swords,
wounding several soldiers. The Sc

which scattered, but the attempt Il
