British Missionaries Slain by Chinese Bandits

REV. W. A. WHITESIDE and Rev. F. G. Watt, British missionaries of the Church Missionary society, were shot and killed by bandits when traveling in the Szechwan province, according to dispatches received in Shanghai from Meinchow recently.


Meinchow, from which a report came that two British missionaries had been slain by bandits, is near the center of Szechwan, a province in Western China bordering on Tibet. There are numerous Protestant mission stations in the vicinity of Meinchow.
