BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE’ FRIDAY,-JUNE 25, 1920 TORTURING OF BANDIT VICTIM AROUSES TOWN Hint Burning at Stake if Guilty Party is Found in Missouri Resort Place BOUND MAN TO RAIL TRACK Kansas City; June 25.—Excitement is running high and there are open mutterings in Excelsior Springs, near here, that-if the two “torture. bandits” who robbed George M. Underwood and then bound him to the Wabash rail- road tracks where a few minutes later a passenger train rumbled by, cutting off his left leg and left hand, are found, the wheels of justice will have to do some tall speeding. es Hanging is too good, the citizens of Exclesior Springs say, and there is] talk of “burning at the stake.” The revolting crime has shocked all this section of the country. Police Are Baffled The robbery motive has been dis- carded by the authorities, but the solution of the mystery still is. as baffling as when Underwood was found crying for help. He is‘ now in a.serious condition in an Excelsior sanitarium. His home is at Carrollton. There are several puzzling features to the case; 1—Bandits who wishes to rob would not'go to such lengths as tying their victim to a railroad track. i 2—Underwoog had no enemies, it is said. He stoutly insists he knows of no reason why he should be given such punishment. 3—It is reported that about a week before the crime, Underwood had taken out a $30,000 accident policy. 4—Authorities are also work- ing on the clue that the murderers of the young woman, whose nude and headless body was recently found in a pleasure lake near St. Joseph, possibly thought Under- wood knew of their work and wished to remove him as a wit- ness. Changes His Version The mystery is complicated by Un- derwood changing his original version of the crime. His first story was that both his hands and legs were tied to the rail. But now he says only his left leg was tied. Physicians say his right hand shows no marks of being bound by wire. The victim of the torture bandits has a wife, two children, three broth- ers and a father, all of whom are now in Excelsion Springs. All say only robbery and the desire to leave no one to testify against them was the motive. Underwood had been visiting friends in Excelston Spring. About 9 in the evening he started for the Wabash station. Half a block from the sta- “DANDERINE” Stops Hair Coming Out; Doubles Its Beauty. CANADIAN VET HA FOR UNION WITH YANK Leo Ward, President of Veter- ans Council, Takes Step to Bring Closer Relations Be- tween Anglo-Saxons Winnipeg, June 25.—To checkmate the Hearts of America and the Bot- tomleys of Britain, who would raise a barrier of hatred between the two nations, the war veterans of Canada are to unite with the veterans of the United States in one Grand Army of Anglo-Saxons, if the doughboys are willing. A proposal that negotiations be op- ened with the American Legion and the Grand Army of the Republic, with the object of effecting a close affil- iation, if not an actual physician union, of the American with the Canadian veterans’ organizations, has been adopted unanimously by the executive council of the Great War Veterans’ Association here, Is First Step. This is the first step toward a na- tional movement, as the proposal is to be submitted to the Dominion com- mand of the association and, accord- ing to local veterans’ officials, its ad- option by that body is a foregone con- clusion. The-announced purpose of the move- ment is to offset jingoism on both sides of the international boundary by keeping alive and developing the friendship between Canadians and doughboys that resulted from their close association in the trenches. “There are people, and newspapers, who are trying to foment strife be- ‘tween Britain and the United States,” said Leo Ward, president of the veter- ans‘ council, in urging the adoption of the proposal fy that body. “But they are reckoning without the men of this country and the men of‘ the United States, who fought side by side against the common enemy overseas.
