outlying districts several attacks were
made on individuals. Lieutenant
Colonel Colton was driving to Santa
MeBa to join his regiment when a native,
a mere boy, rushed at him with a sword,
and only the blun. edge prevented a
wound. Failing the first thrust be re
turned to thejattack, and it took three
shots from the Colonel's revolver to si
