Gwan Chung, 70year-old Chi
nese who is employed on the
George Sun truck garden ranch,
north of Salem, was attacked and
severely beaten by an unidentified
assailant as he left the ranch
house at 5 o'clock this morning.
Robbery is believed to have been
the motive for the assault, but $50
which Chung had on his person
was not found by his assailant..
Through interpreters Chung
was questioned by Deputy Sheriffs
Bert Smith and Sam Burkhart at
the Salem hospital this morning.
He said that the man, whose face
was covered with a white handler
chief, struck him several times
with a club before he could catch
hold of the weapon. When he
yelled for assistance the man
quickely searched one Of ChuRg's
pockets, found nothing, and dis
appeared.
Chung was of the opinion that
the assailant was white man
rather than Chinese. Physicians
said that Chung, who was badly
beaten about the shoulders and
face, is not dangerously injured.
