MURDER BY CHINESE BANDITS.
WiANGANUI EX-RESIDENTS KILLED. WANGANUI, Monday. For fourteen years Ngan For was a well-known and respected market gardener in this town. He was married to a Chinese woman, and had three little children, the eldest aged four, the family being esteemed by & considerable number of European friends. About six months ago they went on what was intended to be a three years' visit to China. Letters were received in town
announcing their safe arrival at Hongkong, and later at Hankow. News just to hand announces a terrible .calamity. It appears that the family were living in a village thirteen mites from Canton, and that a band of marauders attacked the house in the dead of night. Nga.u For was disabled by a gamshot, and the robbers, after ransacking the .house, carried off the two children. Mrs For pursued them to recover the children, but was shot, dying- a. few hours later.
