The bandits, they said. started firing
upon the train before il was derailed
and swarmed about il, smashing the
windows with their hatchets when
it was brought to a standsttll They
then entered the cars and robbed the
passengers. of valuables, visiting some
of the coaches three times to be sure
of missing nothing. One foreigner
was killed. but his identity was not
known to the party arriving here.
Six Women Captives.
1t was nearly two hours after the
ing whistle was blown and the ban
dts decamped with their captives.
A few Of the foreigners escaped by
hiding in the long grass. Six women
were among the captivos. Mrs Allen
and Mrs. Pinger were left behind
when it was found they were unable
to keep up with the fast pace set by
the bandits.
Maj. Pinger and his wife kept in
touch for time by shouting to each
other, but the voice Of the major,
who was ahead. grew fainter and
finally ceased. and his wife returned
to the train with her younger son.
About 115 Kidnapped.
1t is estimated that about lis pas
sengers were kidnapped, most Of them
in their night attire and without their
baggage. They were forced to walk
barefoot over the broken glass in
the vicinity of the train and were
hustled by their brutal guards over
tho rough country as the bandits fled
in fear Of pursuit
Soldiers arrived at the scene soon
after the departure of the raiding
party and the government ordered
the Tuchuns military governors) of
the neighboring provinces immedi-
