H.BM Consul-General has pressed for action, with the result that the Maochow and Mienchow magistrate have been stirred to action. The Maochow magist. rate especially, in whose dissvict the murder occurred, very soon saw the propriety of his duty in running the murderers to earth. With the aid of General Chen Mienchow, a detachment of mu itis from T'ien Ch'in were sent. hey ran down one Chang Tin Kay who was found with some of the goods of the murdered men about his house. He implicated one Ma Tin Yin. a leader of robbers, who earlier was a reputable captain in the regular forces. Accurdiug to the local press, he told how that in Ma's house the plan was hatched to waylay the two lone foreigners because they had some money, and only three load carriers with them. Ma quickly got together a force of eight men and deliberately stalked the missionaries, and waiting for the servants to get by, they tackled the missionaries for their money. This witness stated that they said "take it and go," whereupon, they were shot down and bayoneted. The militia quickly found the house of Ma who had entrenched himself with his companions, A fierce struggle ensued when two of the brigands were killed and Ma captured. Knowing the fate in store for him, he took the first convenient opportunity to swalllow a large amount of opium that caused death very quickly.
