Police-Sergt. Adams"

We record, with regret, the death of Police Sergt. Adams, who died on Sunday morning at 5.15 o'clock in the General Hospital. The late officer was only admitted-a few days ago, but succumbed quickly to the ravages of pneumonia.

Deceased had only been Municipal service for a little more than a year and was recently promoted to the rank of sergeant. He came from England and was 26 years old, of retiring disposition, and well liked by his comrades.

Flags on all police stations were! flown at half mast on Sunday out of respect to the late officer.

The funeral service was held on Tuesday in Hungjao Cemethe Rev. A.C. S. Trivett officiating.
