FRACAS IN STREET
HINDUS AND CHINESE RIVAL FRUITERERS [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] DANNEVIKKE. Saturday A clash occurred shortly after eleven o'clock last night between rival Chinese and Hindu fruiterers, whose business premises are situated close together, in the main business area. It is alleged that the trouble was caused by the wiping of fruit prices off the window of the Chinese shop as rivals were proceeding homewards last night. The Chinese set a watch, and as the result of what happened several Hindus and Chinese subsequently engaged in a pitched battle, during which two combatants, one on each side, crashed through a plate-glass window of a shop in the vicinity, the Chinese receiving slight head injuries and the Hindu a cut wrist. There is every probability that the battle, which apparently ended in a draw, will be reviewed shortly in Court.
