SQUATTERS EVICTED

As a result of this manoeuvre, the original inhabitants, had to leave the place. They alleged that decensed asked them to pay rent, and, on their refusal to do so, he evicted them from their huts.

The action of the deceased aroused bitter feeling among the villagera, for it seemed that not only the in-

habitants of that area had n grievance but others who perhaps lived in the other two places ac- quired by him.
