Rāja Bhīm disposes of his Rivals.—Thus far successful, Raja Bhim determined to dismiss “compunctious visitings,” and be a king de facto if not de jure. Death had carried off three of his uncles, as well as his father, previous to this event; but there were still two others, Sher Singh, his adopted father, and Sardar Singh, who stood in his way : the last was put to death; the former had his eyes put out; and, soon after, the unfortunate prince released himself from life by dashing out his brains. Sur Singh, the favourite of all Bijai Singh’s descendants, remained. His superior claims were fatal to him and his life fell a sacrifice with the others.
