A casual passer-by, a Chinese barber, was hit in the left leg by a stray bullet. He also was taken to the! Paulun Hospital.
Minor injuries were suffered by a number of others involved in the melee, including various policemen. It was not found necessary to send any of these to hospital, however.
In addition to those wounded, four of the attacking band of coolies were arrested, one of them suffering from cuts of the forehead.
Calm was restored in comparatively short time after the trouble, and the situation remained quiet through the afternoon and last night.
The bodies of the two coolie transportation vans were considerably damaged in the original attack by the former workers.
