YOUNG MAN SHOT DEAD.
CHINAMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER. By Telegraph—Press Association. Invercargill; Thursday. A fatal shooting case occurred here about midnight, Hector Morrison, aged 20, being shot dead by a Chinaman named Lock Kin, aged 69, who keeps a boardinghouse in Leet street. The Chinese were subject to frequent annoyance by larrikins, and had sent for police assistance last night. When a constable arrived he found Morrison lying dead in a pool of blood on the footpath. After the door had been battered, and the windows broken, the accused went out with a gun and fired to scare the intruders, not seeing Morrison in the darkness.
Accused was brought before the Court charged with murder and was remanded.
