Tho barking of a dog in a neighbouring cottage led to the discovery of what appears to be a dastardly murder of a lonely caretaker, employed to look after a cottage in old Kowloon Tong. Brief details are given on another page.

Despite the utmost despatch, the police arrived on the scene to find the man dend. Robbery appears to, have been the motive, but it would seem that the robbers stole nothing more than a few pieces of clothing and an old blanket.

"There is a lot of difference be tween people who live on the Peak and people who come before your Worship," remarked Sub-Inspector Stimson, at the Kowloon Magin tracy this morning, when prosecut ing a Chinese on a charge of travelling on a Kowloon bus with- out paying his fare.

Opening the case for the pro- accution, Sub-Inspector Stimson said that the case was the usual. one of trying to avoid payment on 4 bus.

The defendant, ho said, boarded a bus at Kowloon City shortly after midnight on Thura- day, and, when sakod for his ticket by the conductor, informed the man that he was a monthly ticket- holder. The conductor went away but when the inspector boarded the bus he asked to be shown the ticket.
