CAUGHT AND KILLED
BANDIT TRAIN-WRECKERS
QUICK WORK IN MANCHUKUO
SHANGHAI, September 3,
Moving with unexpected speed across the Manchurian plains in motor-trucks, a strong detachment from the Harbin garrison cut off the retreat of the bandits responsible for Thursday s train-wrecking outrage in Manchukuo and succeeded in releasing the two American captives, Messrs. Lury and Johanson, also all the Japanese captives. All were unharmed.
A furious engagement preceded the release, the bandits, numbering 150, finally abandoning their prisoners and scattering under heavy machine-gun fire.
A later message states that the bandits were pursued and exterminated.
