The man then ran away, shouting and waving the stool he was carry- lng, and scattering helter-skelter, the largo crowd which had assembled. Police whistles were blown and the Indian constable, with whom the Sergeant had previously been en- goged attempted to grapple with the man. He was beaten off, however, and received a cut on the head..
