The rider was surrounded with a mob of insistent questioners.

The old Mongol Sait, Chultun Beyli, who had been dismissed by the Chinese, was at once informed of this news and asked to have the messenger brought to him.

After questioning the man he arrested him for inciting the people to riot, but he refused to turn him over to the Chinese authorities.

I was personally with the Sait at the time and heard his decision in the matter.

When the Chinese Commissioner, Wang Tsao-tsun, threatened the Sait for disobedience to his authority, the old man simply fingered his rosary and said: "I believe the story of this Mongol in its every word and I apprehend that you and I shall soon have to reverse our relationship." I felt that Wang Tsao-tsun also accepted the correctness of the Mongol's story, because he did not insist further.
