WOMAN ATTACKED
WHILE SERVING IN SHOP
(By Telegraph.)
(Special to "Tha Evening Post.")
AUCKLAND, This Day. A cowardly attack with a chisel bar wrapped in brown paper was made upon Mrs. Louisa Struckett, a tobacconist, in Ponsonby road, yesterday afternoon. She had turned to get half a dozen packets of cigarettes for a man of about 25 when he leaned over the counter and struck her on the back of tho head with tha bar. Fortunately the blow was a glancing one, but it inflicted a gash which had to be stitched. The man remained in the shop for a few moments after the attack, but on the alarm being raised promptly decamped, vaulting a fence into Western Park and disappearing. The matter has been placed in the hands of the police but no arrest has yet been made. '
