Valuaples. Warrants We're issued by
the Dominion line for the arrest of the
Scotsman's firemen, who We're brought
up by the Montfort, and the warrants
We're given to the Montreal detectives

at Quebec for the tiremen who were
brought up on the Grecian, but the pro-
ceedings We're bungled at that city. The
Quebec officers Went down to the wharf
in uniform, and when the Scotsman's

To draw their batons to protect the
prisoners, and had the crowd only had
a leader it is likely that short work
would have been made of some of the
dastardly crew.
The prisoners, followed by the jeering
crowd, We're marched from the wharf
Ito the central police station, where they
We're taken to the detective headauar-

private room and has luggage searched.
Nearly all the prisoners carried sacks
Eand bundles, which We're examined.
