ARMED ROBBERS

RAMPANT

CHINESE CONSTABLE

KILLED.

West Point was the scene of a robbery in broad daylight yesterday afternoon.

A gang of Chinese entered a house, No. 3 Western Street, near to No. 7 Police Station. There they ferrified the occupants and stole money and goods to the value of $30.

As usual there was plenty of noise as soon as the robbers departed. Police whistles rent the air and two Indian Constables appeared in time to see the robbers making off. A chase ensued add eventually Des Vaux Road was reached. Here a Chinese Lukong in mufti, of the Water Police, gave a helping hand and captured the man. During the Subsequent struggle the robber shot! the lukong dead, the bullet entering the lukong's abdomen, before the Indians could catch up. Off went the robber and murderer) again, in and out of side turnings, finally the second, floor taking refuge in

of 133 Des Voeux Road. The appearance of a wild-eyed, armed man sent the occupants of the house flying for their own safety.
