As he fell the captain drew his sword, but it was torn from his hands, and he received a cut from Froment's sword.

Upon this the captain made a great effort, and getting one of his arms free, drew a pistol from his pocket, drove back his assassins, fired at Froment, and missed him.
One of the men by his side was wounded and disarmed.
A patrol of the regiment of Guienne, attached to which was M.Boudon, a dragoon officer, was passing the Calquieres.

M.Boudon was attacked by a band of red-tufts and his casque and his musket carried off.

Several shots were fired at him, but none of them hit him; the patrol surrounded him to save him, but as he had received two bayonet wounds, he desired revenge, and, breaking through his protectors, darted forward to regain possession of his musket, and was killed in a moment.

One of his fingers was cut off to get at a diamond ring which he wore, his pockets were rifled of his purse and watch, and his body was thrown into the moat.
Meantime the place-des-Recollets, the Cours, the place-des-Carmes, the Grand-Rue, and rue de Notre Dame-de-l'Esplanade were filled with men armed with guns, pitchforks, and swords.
