MOPLAH REBELLION.
NEARING THE END. NOTORIOUS CHIEFS SHOT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Delhi, Jan. 11 The sentence of death passed by a Military Court'on the notorious chiefs Chembrasseri Thangal and Seethikoya Thangal and four followers having been confirmed, they were shot at Mallapuram\ The former deluded his followers by asserting that he possessed mystic powers and was invulnerable to bullets. He was credited with many cruelties.
The capture of a leader named Kumshaed Hoji practically completes the rounding up of the principals in the rebellion, and it is generally considered that the final stages have been reached. Hoji proclaimed himself the Khalifat and King of Ernad. Heiis supposed to be a son of the notorious outlaw who led the Moplah outbreak in 1896. Ee assumed a ludicrous kind of regal state, exercising great tyranny and brutality. Many Hindu massacres are attributed to him. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
