In connection with this incident it is curious to nolo, as a phase of Sainnan politics, that while this la-t victim to the civil war now progressing in the (iroup belonged to the Old Parte, his father and mother are attached to the King side.and were actually in the fort at. Faloula when their sou's head was brought in as a war trophy.
