MISSIONARY MARTYRDOM.

THE MURDER OF MR. SLIGHTER.

CHILD SHOT IN HER MOTHER'S ARMS,

HEROIC CONDUCT OF REV. H. A. C. ALLEN.

A cable received at the time gave brief details of the murder of Mr. Morris Slichter, a Canadian missionary, by armed Chinese who stabbed him, and the shooting of his little three-year-old daughter in the arms of his wife, hetween Anshum and Yunnanfu.

A North China Daily News to hand gives the complete story of the terrible tragedy. It reads:

With the safe arrival of the Rev. į Mrs Slichter and Miss Craig to go II. A. C. Allent back in Yunnanfu on another five miles to a village in a Saturday, April 30th, thern-ended | valley; they were so tired that they one of those truly heroic actions could only move with the aid of that often pass by unknown by the two coolies, whom the brigands had general public. On April 8th a forced to accompany them. party of China Inland Mission unis-

The brigands next day sent Miss zionaries, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. | Craig away to tell the soldiers that Slichter and their two children and unless they gave up their pursuit Miss Craig, who had left Anshun they would ki Mrs. Siichter, and

in Kweichow to travel to Yunnanfu, xero attacked by brigande after leaving the town of Loping in Yun nan and nearing the city of Shih- tsung.

Their escort engaged in a fight with the briganda during which the foreigners managed to get away and hide in a rice field. The escort being driven off, some brigands dis covered the whereabouts of the party and one of them presented a riffe point blank at Mrs. Slichter, and firing it off killed Mra. Slich- ter's little three-year-old daughter and wounded the mother in the hand.

Almost at the same moment another brigand stabbed Mr. Slich- ter in the back, killing him instant ly. He fell without a sound, and at first it was thought that he had only fainted.

The brigands then proceeded to strip the body of Mr. Slichter and even took the clothes off the dead child. Miss Craig and Mrs. Slichter and ber boy of six were taken by the briganda into the mountains.

Long Days Of Buffering. Apart from the intense mental distress, they also underwent severe physical suffering. Being out on the mountaina all night in the rain, and being hurried along although they could scapely drag one foot

after the other.

Troops were sent out against the brigands and when the latter were severely harassed they made the unfortunate ladies climb up a steep mountain, arriving at the top utter ly exhausted. The brigands forced

her little won. The officer in com- mund of the soldiers replied that it any harın came to Mrs. Slichter he would at once put to death certain members of the head brigand's family whom he had captured. After being with the brigande for over. fortnight Mrs. Slichter's release was arranged by this officer.
