The Associated Press icarns that the facts of the shduction reported from the Frontier are as follows. A lady, the wife of an officer surving with a Labour, Corps, who was living with her children in & house near the Sadder Bazaar in Peak war, and far removed from any other European babitation, was carried off by a gang of Afridi badmashes about mid- night on the 23rd-24th March and taken Fok into tribal territory.As soon as the outrage, was discovered parties of the police and Frontier. Constabulary went in pursuit and captured some of the raiders, but were unable. to get in touch with the advance party, who got across the border with the lady. Afridi pursuit parties were also immediately despatched by the Politics Agent of the Khyber and they rescued the lady and brought her into Jared about 9; p.m. on the 95th March. "No ransom was paid.

Another account states: The alarm was raised as soon as it was known what had happened and troops, militia, constabul ary, police and villagers started in par suit in all directions with the result that. the gang was all but intercepted and one of them was actually arrested. Mosa while the Khyber authorities got into touch with the Afridis along the border and an Afridi rescue: party of over on thousand men started within a few bour Members of this party (pushed forward and blocked the passes and came into conflict with the gang more than once and eventually rescued the lady after soms sharp fighting The lady was at once brought into Jamrud within 36 hours of her abdpetion, very prompt perfor mance considering the nature of the coun

ry. The next day a large Afridi jirgu of all sections waited spontaneously o the political agent, Khyber, to express their abhorrence of this outrage, their sincere regret that membery of their tribe should have been guilty of such conduct and their assurance that such acte would not be permitted in future. Measures are in progress to ascertain the identity of the offenders and to take further action.). The Associated Press is further informed that not only was no ransom whatsoever paid for the release of the lady, but that no rewards even were paid to the Afridi resene party who were treated as merely having done, their duty.
