Man Brought Down.

As one of the men ran by, he fired and seriously wounded him, but failed to stop him in his flight. Inspector King in spite of his wound was close up at the time and using his revolver brought the man to the ground. He also fred at the other three and succeeded in hitting one of them and wound- ing him so that he was only able to crawl into a garden nearby.

About this time Mr. R. O'Neil. A.E.P., came on to the scene accom- Panied by Inspector D. W. Dale, and with E detachment of con- stables they commenced searching for the man who had crawled into the garden. The place was sur- rounded to prevent his escape and as he is believed to be severely wounded his capture is thought to be inevitable.

The casualties, cxcluding Inspec tor King, are two police constables slightly wounded and the samseng who was captured and taken to hospit

The four samsengs are known to belong to Singapore. A pistol and thirty rounds of ammunition were found by the police.
