POLICE OFFICERS RECEIVE MEDALS.
THRILLING EXPLOITS IN INDIA REWARDED. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received January 4, 11.30 a.m.) DELHI, January 3. 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 railway constable armed only with a lathi kept an infuriated mob of 3000 at bay and undoubtedly saved a locomotive fireman from a ghastly end. Again Superintendent Taylor, engaged to round up two desperate outlaws in a lonely hamlet at Peshawar, after his superior officer, Mr Handyside, had been mortally wounded, climbed up the roof of a dilapidated house and bombed out the second outlaw.
