the students riots was the death Of NJ
Nuger. a clerk. who was injured mortally
by the police in n former encounter with
the students. About 1000 students sur
rounded the prefecture Of police, jcered the
officials and threw stones through the win
dows. While the police were preparing to
charge the mob upset all the street booths
in the neighborhood and smashed the
street lamps. The students fought back
with clubs and stones.
