that the children-it was Children's
day-were crowding around the fence,
trying to see through the cracks. The
gatekeeper told Rowe to keep them
away. This, it is claimed, he did not
do. De Kreko himself then undertook
to instruct Rowe as to his duties as a
policeman. Rowe retorted that he knew
his own affairs better than De kreko
did, which irritated the Snowman.
You know our duties!!" exclaimed
De kroko. Bah! YOU'RE an imbecile-
! don't understand how they ever came
to give you a badge and call you a police
man. Get out of here! You needn't try
to keep the children away-you couldn't
If you did-they're better han you. Get
off to the other end of the grounds, and
I'll attend to the children"
Rove, however, didn't see it thai
way. He made no move to change his
position, which angered De kreko all
the more. He let out another stream of
expletives at the patrolman, and sent f or
Judge Colborn.
When the judge appeared on the
scene De kreko took him quietly to one
side and told him that he wanted Rowe
taken to some other part of the grounds.
Rowe saw them talking and went over
to give his version of t he affair.
DE kreko said - you!'" said
Rowe.
You're a liar!' retorted De Kreko,
and up went Rowe's loaded cane, land
ing on De kreko's ear. The silk tile
which graced the showman's head went
flying off INTO space and De Kreko went
for Rowe's throat. Judge Colborn. with
all the courage and daring that he a
shown in Offering to enter Sultana's cage,
rushed in to separate the fighting pair.
Deputy Sheriff Dyer was a %bystander,
and he jumped frantically into the
crowd to arrest somebody. Judge Col
born was his victim.
You are arrested; come away from
this fight" cried Dyer, as he dragged the
plucky little judge off.
Thank God" said the judge, as he
found himself in the open air again.
BY this time the rest of De Kreko's
troupe n the rest of the policemen
We're on the scene, the participants were
separated, and matters became
lively quiet.
"The fight broke out again in a new
spot when Chief of the Guard Hill tried
to take the loaded cane from De Kre-
kos brother who wanted to keep it as
evidence. It looked for a few minutes
as though there would be a small riot,
but peace was restored and the Turks
went back inside their fence, muttering
all kinds of direful things in their native
tongue.
Threats Of a suit against the Salt Pal
ace association We're rife among the
showmen. AS Hamido De Kreko, one
of the brothers said: are gentle
men as long as the rest Of the people act
the parts Of gentlemen to us. But when
they get us against them then our orien-
tai blood is up. Our blood is hot: we will
do anything, and we will be avenged!'
HamidO struck his broadsword signifi-
cantly.
Judge Colborn and De Kreko held a
consultation later in the evening. No
agreement was made, and De Kreko
stated that unless Rowe was arrested
and sentenced to a heavy fine, suit for
damages would be brought against the
Salt Palac management. 1t is under
stood that De kreko will file a COM
plant against Rowe for assault and
battery on Monday morning.
