The constable then went up to.them and in the melee which took place, grappled with one of them. The constable's sparring partner got a- way and in the break, it is said, the young lad with the constable's gun covered Wicke: While Constable Hall was reti cient to talk about the matter when interviewed late this afternoon, he admitted it was necessary to in- dulge in a sharp . tussle. Furtner than that he would say nothing sta ting the case will come up tomor- row. He believed that the other two fellows might be around town. The trio is believed to be tue three suspicious characters who were /around Bowmanville all day yesterday, evidently sizing up the situation. Several well known meg- chants and pedestrians noticed them. Whether or not the gang entered any other stores in the town pre- viously to Wicke's . arrest 18 not known, although ri mors to the ef- fect that several other places were tried were prevalent today. It is believed that the entry into the Chinese cafe proprietor's resi- dence, may have been made by the same party, NEW C. N.
