Well, the people rush out into the streets,
some with the idea q helping in the arrest
Of this stranger when he arrives, and
others exp, citing that on the NOR
row he Will come into the town
and by some supernatural force oust
Che municipal and royal authorities and
take everything in his own hands. They
pour out OF the city gates until the prOces-
