THE TIENTSIN TRAIN ROBBERY, FOREIGN PASSENGERS HELD UP
BY FENGTIEN SOLDIERS. SHOTS IN CARRIAGE: $10,000 STOLEN.
An audacious coup was carried out by. Fenstien soldiers last night, when they held up passengers who were travelling in the Peking express to Tientsin.
guard of the train, Mr. C. Aitken, noticed the soldiers entery and he at one told them to go back to their own car riages. This the soldiers refused to do, but despite the fact that they were armed with rides and pistols, Me, Aitken went up to their leader, and unceremoniously pushed him to the door of the coach, through it, and into the next carriage. The rest of the soldiers then went back to the second class section.
Unfortunately Mr. Aitken, presuming no significance in the that there was soldiers' action beyoud that they wished to sit in a better glass coach. left the ear- riage, and shortly after he had gone the
men returned.
This time they made no bones of their intention to reh the passengers.
