12 Killed, 37 Injured In Train Fight

MOSLEM PASSENGERS ATTACKED

New Delhi, Sept. 21.-Twelve passengers were killed, 37 injured and 40 reported missing when a gang, armed with automatic weapons and spears, stopped a train full of Moslem passengers three- miles from Ludhiana in the East Punjab on Friday night, according to a military spokesman here to- day.

The attackers stopped the train by placing a block across the track and then set fire to part of the train. The five officers and 64 men of the milltary escort fought the attackers for .45 minutes. One thousand rounds were fired.

Between 5,000 and 6,000 troops are reported to be operating in the Delhi arca to maintain peace and restore order.

The city continues to be quiet. Ikar Hisain Khan of Mamdot, and Premier of West Punjab, sald today that the sword-slashed corpses
