ed it up and threw it into the center
OF the street whihc was busy on ac-
count of the many vehicles passing at
the time. The child fell among the
horses feet and people are wondering
how it escaped being killed. Their =
was a hue and cry and very angry
crowd followed the Cinnamon, but
they had a good start and managed
to make their escape.

made as result of this outrage has
not improved the temper of the peo-
pie.

bidding wrestling match which was
to have taken place tomorrow between
white man and Jap.

chased tickets for the coast, fearing

marauders then opened fire into the
huddled herd of sheep, killing over

vengeance and bloodshed may result.
