Basuto Gun War The Gun War , also known as the Basuto War , was an 1880 - 1881 conflict in the British territory of Basutoland ( present - day Lesotho ) in Southern Africa , fought between Cape Colony forces and rebellious Basotho chiefs over the right of natives to bear arms . Although officially considered a stalemate , the final settlement favoured the Basotho . Basutoland — home of the Basotho people — had been under the nominal control of the Cape Colony ( of the British Empire ) since 1871 ( it was a British protectorate from 1868 until 1871 ) , but the territory remained essentially autonomous in the early years of colonial rule , with traditional Basotho authorities wielding effective power . Only in the late 1870s did Cape authorities attempt to consolidate power over the region and enforce its laws . Basutoland , an independent state as recently as 1868 , chafed under the new restrictions and attempts to reduce the authority of its chiefs . Matters came to a head in 1879 , when Governor Henry Bartle Frere reserved part of Basutoland for white settlement and demanded that all natives surrender their firearms to Cape authorities under the 1879 Peace Protection Act . The Cape government of Sir John Gordon Sprigg set April 1880 as the date for surrendering weapons . Although some Basotho with great reluctance were willing to surrender their guns , the majority refused ; government attempts to enforce the law brought fighting by September . Within months , most Basotho chiefs were in open rebellion . Colonial Cape forces sent to put down the rebellion suffered heavy casualties , as the Basotho had obtained serviceable firearms from the Orange Free State and enjoyed a natural defensive advantage in their country ' s mountainous terrain . The rebels relied primarily on guerrilla warfare , ambushing isolated units to negate the British / Cape superiority in firepower . In October , Basotho forces ambushed a mounted column of British Army lancers at Qalabani ( present - day Lancers Gap , near Maseru ) , killing 39 . The defeat of an experienced and well - armed cavalry column discouraged Cape authorities . The costs of the war when added to the earlier war with the Xhosa and renewed troubles in the Transkei were dragging the Cape Colony towards bankruptcy . The war was also becoming increasingly unpopular , and the Sprigg government was replaced by the Thomas Scanlen government . A peace treaty was signed with Basotho chiefs in 1881 , in which colonial authorities conceded most of the points in dispute . The land remained in Basotho hands and the nation enjoyed unrestricted access to firearms in exchange for a national one - time indemnity of 5000 cattle . However , unrest continued and it quickly became clear that Cape Town could not control the territory . In 1884 , the British government returned Basutoland to Crown colony status , granting internal self - government in the process . With effective power once again firmly with the chiefs , the conflict subsided .
Caswell Air Force Station Caswell Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located north of Limestone , Maine . It was closed in 1980 . History . Caswell was one of twenty - eight stations built as part of the second segment of the permanent Air Defense Command network . Prompted by the start of the Korean War , on July 11 , 1950 , the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the second segment of the permanent network . Receiving the Defense Secretary ’ s approval on July 21 , the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction . Because of difficulties with new production radar equipment , the site initially consisted of a pair of AN / FPS - 10 radars from a closing Lashup site at Limestone AFB , Maine ( L - 50 ) to expedite operational status . During 1951 the 766th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was moved from the temporary site at Limestone AFB to Caswell and assumed coverage , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . Thus Caswell received the “ LP - 80 ” designation . In 1955 and 1956 an AN / FPS - 8 / UGPS - 3 was installed . The AN / GPS - 3 remained in service until 1961 . In 1957 and 1958 the AN / FPS - 10 s were phased out and two AN / FPS - 6 As arrived . During 1959 Caswell AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , feeding data to DC - 05 at Topsham AFS , Maine . After joining , the squadron was redesignated as the 766th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 1 October 1959 . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . In 1961 an electronic counter - countermeasures ( ECCM ) capable AN / FPS - 7 C began search duties . On 31 July 1963 , the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z - 80 . The facility came under Tactical Air Command jurisdiction in 1979 with the inactivation of Aerospace Defense Command and the activation of ADTAC . In addition to the main facility , Caswell operated this unmanned AN / FPS - 18 Gap Filler site : Over the years , the equipment at the station was upgraded or modified to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the information gathered by the radars . The 766th Radar Squadron was inactivated on 30 September 1980 . With its closure , Caswell Air Force Station became a Maine National Guard training site . Many USAF buildings still in use , although some are in deteriorating condition . The FPS - 7 and FPS - 6 towers still stand along with other operational buildings . The Bridgewater Gap Filler site doubled as a fire - lookout tower . Both the building and radar tower remain today .

Gannys Gannys was a Roman general and eunuch who commanded the troops of Elagabalus against Emperor Macrinus in the Battle of Antioch . According to Edward Gibbon in his " Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire " : " . . . Antoninus himself , who in the rest of his life never acted like a man , in this important crisis of his fate approved himself a hero , mounted his horse , and , at the head of his rallied troops , charged sword in hand among the thickest enemies ; whilst the eunuch Gannys , whose occupation had been confined to female cares and the soft luxury of Asia , displayed the talents of an able and experienced general . " ( I , vi ) According to Dio Cassius : " because of his slaying at Nicomedeia at the very outset of his reign Gannys , the man who had brought about the uprising , who had taken him to the camp , who had also caused the soldiers to revolt , who had given him the victory over Macrinus , and who had been his foster - father and guardian , he was regarded as the most impious of men . 2 To be sure , Gannys was living rather luxuriously and was fond of accepting bribes , but for all that he did no one any harm and bestowed many benefits upon many people . Most of all , he showed great zeal for p453the emperor and was thoroughly satisfactory to Maesa and Soaemis , to the former because he had been reared by her , and to the latter because he was virtually her husband . 3 But it was not at all because of this that the emperor put him out of the way , inasmuch as he had wished to give him a marriage contract and appoint him Caesar ; it was rather because he was forced by Gannys to live temperately and prudently . And he himself was the first to give Gannys a mortal blow with his own hand , since no one of the soldiers had the hardihood to take the lead in murdering him ( 2 ) . Notes .
