A cootie employed at a grocer's shop near the entrance to the Dairy Farm on the Pakfulam Road, while walking on the Pak- fulani Road yesterday on his way to West Paint had an unpleasantį experience. Just near Chinese restaurant on the hillside at Kennedy Road three men came up to him from bebind. One of them produced something from underneath his jacket and told him. "It you shoot, I shall shoot you with this revolver.” The other two robbers seized hold of him and tied him to a tree, while a third gagged him with a sock. The rabbers than extracted $15 from his jackel and ran up the hillside. The shop coolie then tried to remove the gag from his mouth, and was ister assisted by a passing veget- able seller. The coolie is not certain whether the robbers had revolvers, or not.
