KEPT MOB AT BAY
INDIAN POLICE REWARDED FOR HEROISM KING’S MEDAL GRANTED T P.A. — Ti'J Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 11 a.ra. DELHI, Friday. Many thrilling tales of devotion to duty are narrated in the Government Gazette chronicling the award of the King's Police Medal to three police officers in different parts of India. One of them, a. railway constable, armed only with a lathi, kept an infuriated mob of 3.000 at bay and undoubtedly saved a locomotive fireman from a ghastly end. Again, Superintendent Taylor was engaged to round up two desperate outlaws in a lonely hamlet at Peshawar. After his superior officer was mortally wounded, he climbed up to the roof of a dilapidated house and bombed out the second outlaw.
