PARIS, 13th June. A message from Mayence states that a police inspector named Munchy was walking along the railway near Dortmund when he was attacked and overpowered by five men, and then tied to the track. The assailants declared that they wished to punish him for his activities against the Westfalen Reubund, a Nationalist organisation. They placed the victim's watch near his head, and brutally told him he could check the time' of the arrival of the.train1 which would crush him. M. Munchy, aftera tremendous struggle, managed to drag himself to the middle of the lino, so that the express passed over him without injuring him. German workmen found him, unconscious, at daybreak.
