most cruel in nature and is. also a great menace to the public. They kidnap children or adults whom they have no grudge nor grievance whatever, and kill. those poor fellows without if the money demanded as desired. They take it a or pleasure in killing those celes victims. Their lawle renders this place ina state of anarchy so to speak and unsafe to live in, Drastic measures should be adopted and steps should be taken to suppress this evil for ever, If not, it will grow to such extent that the authorities will have eventually no control over the matter. Hence' it is high time for the public to. give some suggestions of how to deal with this, gruesome question and find a so-Ivtion to eliminate this great, evil of course these kidnappers are clever enough in not molesting foreigners. but I hope the foreign community as well as authorities will operate with us in this matter.
