POLICE STATION STORMED
REVOLVER SHOTS DISPERSE RAIDING SADDHUS CASUALTIES IN INDIA RIOT Reed. 10.45 a.m. DELHI, Tuesday. A huge fair at Allahabad had its first real trouble yesterday, one hundred people being injured when 5,000 semi-nude Saddhus, armed with cudgels, stormed the police station and headquarters of the Volunteer Scouts. These Saddhus are known to belong to a quarrelsome sect, which resented an order of expulsion from a certain compound. A critical situation was only averted by the police sub-inspector firing three revolver shots, whereupon the Saddhus raced off to their own huts.
