The very Coat SLAN WSO PONEER N TBE Dr. Shelton Met Death as He Journeyed to Establish Christian Hospital. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, Mo.,, March 4—Rev. Dr. Albert Leroy Shelton, medical mis- sionary of the Disciples of Christ (Christlan Church), who was the first Christian missionary to be allowed to enter Tibet, and who was kidnaped and held by Chinese brigands sixty days two years ago, was murdered by Chinese robbers February 7 last, it was announced here today. The announcement was by the United Christian Missionary Society, which recelved a cable telegram from Rev. Dr. W. M. Hardy, also a medical missionary in China, which read: “Robbers killed Shelton near Ba- tang, Feby. 17. Notify girls.” The girls referred to are Dr. Shel- ton's daughters—Dorothy, seventeen, and Dorls, fifteen—who are attending school in Pomona, Calif. Dr. Shelton’s' headquarters were at Batang, near Tibet, and Dr. Hardy's cablegram was from Likiang, the nearest telegraph station, a fifteen- day journey, and this, it was explain- ed, is responsible for the delay in news of the murder. Wanted to Open Hospital. Although Tibet has not been open to missionaries, Dr. Shelton departed from Vancouver last August to open a hospital at Lhasa. He had received a written invitation from the dalal lama, the supreme power of the Mo- hammedan Church in the province, to establish the hospital, in recognition of his work among Tibetan soldfers. The last word received from Dr. Shelton was when he was fifteen days’ journey out of Batang, which he said he expected to reach December 23. The theory of the missionary society here is that he reached Batang on scheduled time. Lhasa is a thirty-five-day trip by caravan from Batang, and it is not thought the time between December 23 and February 17 was sufficlent to allow him to organize the caravan. Consequently it is believed he was killed while on a side trip alone ad- ministering to the sick. In his party were Mr. and Mrs. J.. R. Morse and their small child of Tulsa, Okla, and Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Duncan of Buffalo, who were enter- ing_the mission field. Dr. Shelton was in St. Louls in October of 1920, attending a conven- tion of the church, and stated he had been endeavoring for years to get the ruler of Tibet to lift the ban on foreigners so he could pursue his work, and finally won permission. Brigands surrounded his party as he took his family to the coast but did not detain the women. E Born June 9, 1875, Dr. Shelton was carried into the mountains and repeated demands for ransom were made. The brigands also demanded that the Chinese gov- ernment grant them immunity and certain political concessions. The missionaries, refused to sanction ef- forts to ransom him, saying ransom would lead to the kidnaping of all missionaries. Chinese troops finally routed the brigands, and the fleeing kidnaping abandoned Dr. Shelton be- cause he had become sick. Dr. Shelton was born in Indlanapo- lis June 9, 1875. He attended the grade schools and a normal school and began teaching school when he was seventeen years old. During the war with Spain he enlisted in a Kan- sas regiment. After the war he mat ried Miss Flo Beal at Parsons, Kans. The year following his marriage he obtained a scholarship in the med- ical department of the University of Kentucky. He completed a four- year course there. Shortly after his graduation he received an appoint- ment from the United Christian Mis- sionary Society as a medical m! sionary to China. He was first sta- tioned at Tachienlu, but in 1908 he was transferred to Batang. EXPECTED TO DIE IN TIBET By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Ore., March 4.—Dr. A. L. Shelton, reported murdered by ban- dits in Tibet, expected to die carry- ing on the work of the Christian Church in that country, according to C. F. Swander, state superintendent of missions for the church. “When he left he never expected to return to this country,” sald Swander. “He had just undergone an operation for a trouble that he expertad to end his life before his next furlough.” Missionarics serve seven years be- fore receiving a furlough, Swander explained, ) e FAVORED BY BANDITS. By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 4—Dr. A. L. Shelton, medical missionary re- ported imurdered in Tibet, was_a former resident of Anthony, Kan. He was here in October, 1920, and told of his adventures in the hands of Cinueae bandits who captured him earlier in the year and held him captive for more than two months. He gatned favorable attention from them by dressing a wounded bandit's injuries. He was taken from camp to camp with the bandits, kept for some weeks in a temple on a mountain top, and his camera, feld glasses and re- peating shotgun were all objects of interest to his captors. Occasfonally the band raided a native village, killed villagers and carried off loot, but Dr. Shelton was treated with con- sideration. Indeed, some members of the band invited him to become its leader, it is said. He was offered opium’to smoke and money to gamble with, but declined both offers. Fre- quently individual bandits intrusted him with money to keep for them, saying they could trust him. 1116 9th St. N.W. PAINTING DEPARTMENT Mrs. T.
