DESERTERS FROM ARMY
DISCOVERY IN RAILWAY CAR. SURRENDER TO ARMED GUARD. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Calcutta, June 20. Three British Army deserters figured in an amazing scene at Jubbulpore, Central Province. The men have been missing from their regiment since Sunday. t To-day a coolie cleaning carriages at the Jubbulpore station found the men in a compartment. He called an official, who on opening the door was greeted with revolver shots. The official informed army headquarters and an armed guard was quickly on the scene. The officer called on the men to surrender or the troops would fire, whereupon the deserters walked out, threw down their revolvers and surrendered.
