A stray monkey belonging to Mr Hos King caused a lively scene on the main street as eleven idle men fled into the Tort Hotel doorway. The creature swung along a fence and taunted onlookers before being corralled by its owner. Shouts and cheers followed as the animal dangled from eaves and jumped between yards, finally being secured with a chain amid roving bystanders.
