DARING RED RAID

Imprisoned Leaders Released

Pelping, Jan. 31. Provincial troops and Red bandits are now fighting in North- West Shand as the result of a daring Red raid across the Yellow River. Shensi Reds crossed - the river and attacked the town of Kolanshien in North-West Shanst where a prominent Red lender named Tuan was in gaol. Kolan- hsten Police put up a stiff fight and after some hours' street war- fare in which the Director of Pub- lic Safety and ten Police were killed, the Reds captured the gaol and released Yuan, The Police, how- ever, continued to attack and killed Yuan as he was escaping.
