Kansas City. March 4.-Dr. A. l..
Shelton, reported murdered in Thibet,
was a former resident of Kansas.
He was here in October. 1920, and
told of his adventures in the hands of
Chinese bandits who captured him
earlier in the year, and held him CO D
tive for more than two months. Doc
tor Shelton was enroute from Batang.
Thibet, to Xunnan Flu. China, the
nearest railway point where his wife
and young daughters, Dorothy and
Doris, were to start for the United
States. Bandits swooped down on the
caravan about fifty miles out of Yum
nan Flu, after a trip of forty-seven
days on mules thru the mountains,
and carried off the missionary.
Bandits Liked Him.
He gained favorable attention from
them by dressing a wounded bandits
injuries. He was taken from camp
to camp with the bandits. kept for
some weeks in a temple on a noun
tain top, and his camera, field glasses
and repeating shotgun were all objects
of interest to- his captors.
Occasionally the band raided a ma
tive village. killed villagers and car
ried off loot. but Doctor Shelton was
treated with considera ton. Indeed,
some members of the bandit gang in
vited him to become its leader, it is
said. He was offered opium to smoke
and money to gamble with, but de-
clined both offers.
Could Have Been Leader.
Frequently individual bandits en-
trusted him with money TO keep for
them, saying they could trust him. A
French Roman Catholic missionary
made repeated efforts to procure Doc
tor SheltOn'S release. but the leader or
the bandit gang, said to have been
former general in the Chinese army,
sought concessions from the Chinese
givernment which it was unwilling to
make in return for freeing the mis-
sionary. Finally Shelton becoming ill
and the bandits believing he was about
to die. he was left in a remote village
practically unguarded. From there he
managed to make his way TO an area
where the government was in control
After a. brief visit in this country.
Doctor Shelton went back to Thibet,
where he had labored as missionary
since 1903.

TEN ONE-ACT PLAYS. BY Alice
Gerstenberg. Brentanos
r N spite Of uplift theorists, the OBJ
ject of the stage is not to reform
mankind nor to degrade 1t but
to entertain it. A joke or situation
loses interest when it becomes too
common. Hence novelty is the end
most sought The author has shown
surprising amount of originality.
Some Of her sketches have even sue
ceeded in vaudeville, which demands"
more than regular play. "Overtures''
is the most impressive of the series.
1t describes the meeting of two jealous
women. While they talk pleasantly
enough TO each other, their subcon-
scious selves spar and jar together.
The POT Boiler is q good farce deal
ing with the difficulties of the modern
dramatist 1t is The Rehearsal"
1azzed up to date. One of the besr
skits is THE, Illuminate" drama
libre" which contains a delicious satire
upon the cubist movement.
