SEEKING REVENGE
FOR ACT OF 50 YEARS AGO
iUnited Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) DELHI, 20th February. A young Mohmand fanatic, who attempted to murder Captain Barnes, assistant commissioner of Cliarsacldc, was arrested, tried the same day, and hanged the next day in Peshwar gaol. The man took a letter, ostensibly an application of some sort, to Captain Barnes at his bungalow and tried to shoot him while he was reading it. The accused admitted the offence saying that it was in revenge for the deaths of his uncle and grandfather who were killed during operations against Mullah Adda by British troops fifty years ago.
