SLAYERS OF A BRITISH OFFICIAL

LONDON.— it has now been officially confirmed that Noel Williamson, assistant political officer at Sadiya, Lakhimpur, with Dr. Gregorson and a party of coolies, was murdered on the ABsam border by Abon, while on a friendly mission. After he had been killed, his coolies, who had been enticed into a house, were also attacked, and only one or two escaped. The Abora are a turbulent people, whose name means “independent,” and who describe themselves “as tigers; and two cannot dwell in one den.”
