FIERCE TRIBAL BATTLE
AFGHANS AT WAR ON INDIAN BORDER TWO VILLAGES WRECKED (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) DELHI, Friday. Fierce tribal fighting has broken out a few miles from Dundik Hana, the farthest British outpost toward Kabul, owing to an attempt by the Shinwaris to exert tribal rule over the Mohammand Khogiana and Surkhrudi tribes, and to exact toll from camel caravans passing through the Eastern Provinces of Afghanistan from Peshawar to Jalalabad. The tribes have declared war on the Shinwaris. A fierce battle is raging on the border of British India. Two villages, Hada and Lormai, have been wrecked. Travellers who refused to pay blood money have been looted and murdered.
