For some time past (says the Wanganui Chronicle) Ngan Kee and Co., Chinese fruiterers, have had their big gas lamps mysteriously broken. The police this morning discovered a culprit. At 1.20 the door .of Wong Chong's shop opened quietly, and a dark figure slipped noiselessly along the street. Arrived under Ngan Kee's verandah, the figure paused, and then, evidently satisfied that no witnesses were near, smashed the globes. The marauder proved to be Mrs Wong Chong, armed with a long iron rod. She will havo to explain m/itters at court. Hawera & Normanby Star, Volume LXXIV, 17 August 1917, Page 8
