Policeman Killed In Buganda
KAMPALA. February 13. The Head Constable, Major Samwari Musaka, of the Buganda Native Police, was murdered today while leading a party in an attempt to arrest a selfstyled prophet who has been living for a fortnight up a tree on a hilltop, five miles from Kampala. Three policemen were injured, and eleven arrests were made.
•rile “prophet” was still up the tree tonight, surrounded by a small band of followers.
He has drawn large audiences of Africans sympathetic to his plan to bring back the Kabaka of Buganda, exiled by the British Government for non-co-operation.
