Officials report that 3 people from Gorontalo came to Manado, where they wounded one person and killed another. Another similar incident was reported where troublemakers attacked other people. The writer states they do not like such wrongdoers but want justice and proper punishment to be carried out. It is noted that it was not the Magondo people who killed 5 people from Tomboulang, but rather the Togian people, who had shown the path to what happened. The writer wanted to explain more but could not due to lack of paper, and mentions being very ill and bedridden day and night.

In Laboean Gorontalo on February 16 that year, Jacob Claasz, the prosecutor, and his officers found 40 people with their leader who had gone out with many weapons.

Because these people had not returned for a long time, it was believed they had lost their lives or died at the hands of the Tonsawang people. However, when the prosecutor found them, none of them had injuries or had died when the prosecutor sailed there.

This is about Augustin Laomba and his marriage troubles. He married the daughter of schoolmaster Ioannes Pais.
