Organised Attack.
As is usual in these parts, troops arriving to succour a beleaguered village generally got to the scene after the raiders have disappeared. Last night an organised attack was made on a suburb of Sanwui city when the bandite looted 18 bonses, took away 10 persons for ransom and shot down two who had the pluck to resist. Before the district magis trate and his troops arrived the bandits had disappeared with their loot and captives.
Plaintiff in evidence said that $400 of the money had been re- turned in May and the rest had been promised in July. It had not been paid.
Contract Illegal.
Mr. Brewer said that his caser rested on the claim that the con- tract was illegal and that his clients were only the agents and not the people who had signed similar con- principals. There were three
tracts to the one in question. A Running Battle.
