"Rösler's Letter to the District Präses"

From it it appears that the Christians beaten up on December 15th were from Begoro - the missionaries' carriers. Ata was very angry when the missionaries went to complain about the incident, and told them he did not fear white men or black. The Begoro chief was apparently in Kibi because when he asked for the matter to be investigated Ata promised that he would do this. According to Rösler the Begoro chief exerted himself to try to moderate Ata's conduct - little else was done by any of the other chiefs in this direction. The Begoro chief in fact got involved in conflict with the Kibi chief on this account. In the plundering of the Christians' farms the school's coffee plantation was destroyed.
