Stanton got off a Hamilton ferry boat

told him to go home. but Stanton only
swore at him and threatened to carve
him.
OFFICER Munday arrested the man, who
drew pair of scissors from an inside
pocket and stabbed viciously at him.
The sharp blade of the scissors pene-
trated the officers coat and entered his
flesh quarter of an inch.
Then Stanton aimed a blow at Mum
days stomach, which would have ended
his career right there had he not in the

out, warding off the intended cut. The
blade caught in his trousers and ripped
1t almost to the bottom.
Munday dealt the man a few sharp
blows with his club and disarmed him.

his name or say anything about him
self until arraigned to-day. He was
held for examination.
