ANOTHER CLASH
TROOPS AND TRIBESMEN. TWO HUNDRED ARRESTED. (United Press Association.— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received this day at 10.15 a.m.) CALCUTTA, December 28. Many were injured in rioting between Moslems and Hindus at Lahore last night, following upon the fatal stabbing of a Moslem youth in a quarrel with a •Hindu. Several Hindu shops ‘ were looted. British troops had to restore order, and all processions and meetings have been banned for six days. A serious clash occurred at the village of Saibasu, thirty miles from Cawnpore, between the police 'and peasant Congressmen,. who refused pay rent to the iGovernment. Several were injured, and the police arrested two hundred frontier (Red Shirts, sentencing forty-eight of them ,to six months’ hard labour.
This quietened the situation there, and it appears that the objective of about three thousand Red Shirts was to force their way into Kohat but the troops foiled their plans.
