·RIOT AND MURDER NEAR
KOWLOON CITY.
VILLAGERS RESIST THE POLICE,
EXUBBK OFFICER AND VİLLAGEL KILLED.
Last night, a special police constable and a party of three excise officers had a most exciting experience in the execution of an oxeiso warrant in the villago of
Ng Tau Kok, situated on the beach midway between Kowloon City and Lyenva. The
villagers are mostly engaged in the stone quarries in the locality, and they have pro- viously resented the interference of the excise officers. In the encounter which took place yesterday one of the excise officers was murdered and two of the villagers were so seriously injured as to necessitate their removal to the Government Civil Hospital, and carly this morning one of the wounded men died from the effects of his injuries.
About six o'clock in the evening, Private Evans, of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, who is on special service as a police constable. ascompanied by three Chinese creise offi- com, arrived at the village of Ng Tau Kok
