morning one of the Third District police, as he
was taking quiet stroll along the Levee, found
on the wharf at the foot of Spain street, portion,
OF male attire, having apparently recently been
placed there by the owner. Among the articles
were hat, pair Of boots, alpaca coat and a
shirt The articles the officer carefully col
lected and conveyed to the police station. We
