"Haas to Basel"

Reports that a controversy between him and his carriers between Kukurantumi and Kibi had come to blows. He had not taken the matter before the Okyenhene, but had been wondering whether he should since it was rumoured that the whole thing was an ‘awudisem’ (cock and bull story). However, he was called before the Okyenhene and elders where the guilty men had already sworn an oath that they had not struck him. His own story was apparently believed straightforwardly, he had to pay 16/- but the men were fined 10 dollars and made to give back the money which he had paid them under threat.
