The awfulness of the murder of eighteen American citizens by bandits at Santa Ysabel, Chihuahua, Mexico, on January 10 was made more personally vivid to alumni throughout the country when they read in the list of unfortunate victims the name of a fellow Dartmouth man, George Willard Newman '02. The details of the holdup of the train on which' Newman and his companions were passengers, and of the robbing, 'stripping, and shooting of the Americans have been given such wide publicity by the press of the country that it is unnecessary to repeat them here.
