Dr. Kow was talking to a friend outside the Birch Bank at the Junction of leo llouse Street and Des Voeux Road at about 12.30 p.m. when, without any apparent ronson ke was suddenly struck over the hond with a bamboo polo by one of two Chinese who were passing at the time. Immediately on committing the assault the assailants darted up Ice House Street towards the Star Ferry, with Mr. Chan, of the Bank staff, who was attracted by the alarm which was raised, in hot pursuit. On reaching Chater Road, one of the two men was stopped by a European gentleman and handed over to Mr. Chan whe subsequent ly gave him in charge. It is be- who had lieved that this man, the appearance of being a street coolie, was actually the one who struck the blow. The other man disappeared and has not yet been arrested.
