Extract from the '■'■ Newcastle Daily Journalj" 

 February 1st 1901. 



Regrettable news has been received from Quetta, India, 

 of the murder of Captain Dudley Cater Johnston, senior 

 medical officer at Lovalai. He was attending a bazaar, when 

 he was ruthlessly stabbed by a Ghilzai fanatic. Captain 

 Johnston was a grand-nephew of the late Dr George Johnston, 

 the eminent Berwick naturalist, author of "The Flora and 

 Fauna of Berwick," and the founder of the Berwickshire 

 Naturalists' Club. The deceased young officer was educated 

 at Christ's Hospital, and entered at Charing Cross Hospital 

 Medical School before he was sixteen. Here he gained medals 

 every year, and won the Llewellyn Scholarship. He was 

 fully qualified at twenty-one, and after serving as house 

 surgeon and physician, was appointed demonstrator in pathology 

 at the age of twenty-two. He entered the Indian Medical 

 Service, and got his captaincy in 1897.
