Punjabs and Germans Fight.

A sentry belonging to an Indian regiment stationed at Tien-Tsln, China, ran amuck and killed two of his comrades. A company of Punjab infantry was at once ordered out to secure him. In the meantime the sentry had been shot by German troops, who then opened fire on the Punjabs. A free fight ensued, as a result of which three German privates were killed and a German officer mortally wounded, while three of the Indian troops were killed and several were wounded. The German troops have been confined to their barracks until further orders.
