...brakes hissed, and as the train stopped a young man stepped off, greeted his mother on the platform with a laugh, told her, still laughing and grimacing, how the Indians had shot down his wife and mother-in-law, and mangled their three children with dumdum bullets. "Ha! Hahaha!" cried the demented man, "Hahahahaha. . . ." The dead included all but three of the armed train guards. Some 50 adults and children were murdered; but it was established that the Indians did not set fire to the train until all non-wounded passengers had climbed out. As the cars blazed...
David Guarnaccia '29, W. P. Locke '27 and C. A. Pratt '28 are entered in the shot, discus, and javelin, with G. I. Shapiro '28 in the hammer throw. A. E. French '29, David White '29, G. A.

Craig, was captured by bandits, last week, in Yunnan with the Rev. and Mrs. Morris Schlicter, their three-year-old daughter and small son, of Toronto, Canada.
