The Helena, Arkansas, riot has resolved into q
pretty small thing, hardly sufficient to Justify any
paper in claiming ii to be equal to the New Orleans
massacre. A drunken man, white, staggered
against two colored soldiers and as an alteration
ensaei he drew pistol to shoot them. Very prop
erly aud very speedily they dissrmed him and gave
both him and his weapon int the charge of the
police. BE soon released and meeting the |
same two soldiers sgsin, he repeated his attempt
upon thsir lives, firing two shots at them, but he
WEs little too drunk to shoot straight, and both
os his shots failed Of the mark. He was knocked |
down. however, by the two assailod soldiers, and |
then all three were taken into custody. This is /
the whole OF the Helena riot.
