The story is told of one family, of how the son, partly to revenge some wrongs received from Roman Catholics, joined the Boxers. The father, an old man, was unable to resist. Soldiers were sent to the neighbourhood and proceeded to the home of the erring son. All had fled but the old mother, over 9) years old. This old woman was brought out and killed, then the houses were burned, When this reached the ears of the old man, he immediately gathered tnzether a following and began to destroy all the houses of the Christians in that neighbourhood. He was captured and beheaded, and his property confiscated. If reports are true, this might have been all averted if the official in charge had not ruthlessly put to death an old woman.
