MOB ATTACKS

POLICE

Four Men Arrested

Menaced by a mob of about 50

men outside the Southern Cross Hotel, at the corner of Ingles and Station streets, Port Melbourne, on Saturday afternoon, two con-   stables were compelled to call a police wneless patrol.

Constables Click and Armstrong were questioning a man after a raid on a

"two-up" school when the mob became threatening. When the police seized a man who had used indecent language the men rushed forward and the constables   weie struck several times.

Called by one of the constables from the hotel a police wireless patrol quickly

dispersed the mob. Three men were| arrested and later a fourth man was|  

detained.

At the Port Melbourne watchhouse four men were charged with assaulting   the police, and one of them was charged with having used indecent language and with having resisted arrest.
