Overland China Mail,
A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE,
A sensational shooting affray occurred on June 17, in the Compradore's Office of Messrs. Butterfield & Swio Hong Kong, Mr. Woo Hay-tong, shipping comprailgin and as wealthy local resident, was injured and his soir. Woo Pak-Juk shot dead by Chan Fuk, a phew of Mr. Woq, From there the sailant, proceeded the Japanese Con- sulate, in Prince's Building, where af r shooting at Mr. M. Hirata (Chancellor) and Mr. K. Minamide (a' clerk), he com- mitted suicide by killing himself. On June 18, Mr. Woo Hay-tong succumbed to his injuries at the Government Civil Hospital. A full report of the outrage is chronicled in the OVERLAND. CHINA MAIL.
An elderly Chinese shoemaker was murdered shortly before 10 o'clock on the morning of June 18, at the corner. of Wellington Street and Peel Street. The assassin was seen viciously stabbing his victim outside a tailor's estab lishment at 15 Peel Street, with a huge scissor. The assail ant tried to escape, but was confronted by a Chinese detec tive. A struggle ensued during which the detective fired five shots, three of which injured the murderer. A report is published in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Tribute to the cleanliness of the Colony and to the cheerfulness of the Chinese people was paid by Mr. Paul L.. Hoeffer, the prominent American explorer, cinematographer, author and lecturer last week.
Mr. Hoeffer, who is responsible for the jungle picture, "Africa Speaks" is returning to America from India, where he has been engaged upon a similar production, and he states that he will return to China at the end of two yearD to take a film of the interior of China.
An interesting interview is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL..
Startling revelations are expected in the Village Road murder, of which George Fung was the victim, as the result of a surprise awoop by the Police authorities, culminating in the arrest of three men in Shanghai, one man and a woman in Hong Kong. Since the night of the murder, March 24, the Criminal Investigation Department have been pursuing all' clues possible. A report is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
