When the firing ceased we fenued forth, to find our friends safe and sound. The passenger carriages had apparently not been struck by bullets. The cars occupied by the robbers, so called, were a shambles, and were riddled with bullets. Twenty-five dead bodies were taken from them and 14 badly wounded men. The Shensi troops did not escape scot free for nine at least of them are dead and 12 badly] wounded, several fatally so. Some of these were evidently shot by their own comrades, either those behind them or those on the other side of the track, Few civilians were hurt this time, for most had scented danger and made themselves scarce. One poor fellow had not got out of the way and was bedly wounded and then stripped of all but his trousers by beggars as he lay on the ground.
The Chinese Red Cross organization acted with commendable promptitude. They gathered up the wounded who were not in the Shensi ranks and conveyed them to the Mission Hospital with a note stating that they would be responsible for! money spent. The Shensi wounded were of course looked after by their own people and'were'later also sent in to the Hospital which now has affray, about an equal number being from each side.
