had been to the Star rink were Just going
home. and these lOungers were again re-
quested by the officer to get off the walk
so that the crowd could pass by. But,

then took out his club. Three or four
of the gang then jumped upon Mr.. Dick

pounded him about the head. one blow
making a cut over his eye. He drew his
revolver and fired three times. but no
