SIKI CAUSES DISTURBANCES. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) PARIS, June 8. (Received June 9, 2.30 p.m.) Siki continues to meet trouble, and unless he leaves France on a boxing expedition before the end of June, he will have to appear in the Police Court on the following charges:—That on April 7, while inebriated, he knocked down two policemen and a butcher’s boy; secondly, that on May 6 he dicharged a loaded revolver in a Montarite cafe, thereby damaging a plateglass window and causing a panic. Siki declares that he has forgotten the incidents and thinks that they must be wrong. He says he has refused an offer of £2OOO to fight “Kid” Forfolk, the American negro heavy-weight. Asked why he refused, Siki replied: “I must have £4000.”
