text: Tonight as well there was a case of death. An old woman died in the Thepong. She had been born in the Bala. As her sister had married in Tanhai and had her sons there, early in the morning some Thepong boys, in this case Chinyang's gang, went to Tanhai to call the relatives of the dead person. Indeed several men came to their mother's sister's burial. This happened around noon.
