A

gang of five men, armed with knives, made an ill-timed raid when they entered the ground- foor of 600, Canton Road, close to the Yauratí Police Station yester- day. One of the robbers was fatally wounded during a subsequent chase by a Chinese constable, and three others have been arrested.

According to the report by the occupier of the premises, three men entered the place and proceeded to tie up the wife of a firewood denler, who was robbed of a bangle worth $28. At this stage someone blow a police whistle,,,which put the gang
