KIDNAPPERS SHOT
Captured Farmers Use Bandits’ Weapons Boswell (Oklahoma), July 22. Two farmers shot dead Fred Tindol and seriously wounded Peter Troler, two of the three armed bandits who broke out of a prison in Texas on July 8 and a week later kidnapped Baird Markham, jun„ the 21-year-old son of a wealthy oil magnate. The bandits had kidnapped the two farmers. A police posse had previously shot dead Chapman, a third bandit involved in the Markham kidnapping. Tindol and Troxler, in their efforts to escape, had stolen a number of cars and kidnapped several persons. The two farmers used the bandits' own weapons when the latter dozed during a forced ride.
