Robbery. Bandits' Daring

Harbin, Yesterday.

A daring robbery was perpe- trated to-day when 40 bandita stopped a train going to Harbin from Pogranitchnaya, and loot- ed the passengers of all their money and valuables. The haul was unexpectedly good, as a rail- way official was carrying $40,000 | belonging to the C.E.R. adminis tration. The official in question together with his police guard was kidnapped. One Russian and 14 Chinese passengers suffered the same fate.
