FIGHT OVER THE FIFTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLAR BoNDs.-The arrest Of j. Au-
gustus Marsh with the $4,000 dollars
worth of Government bonds by the police
of our city, has created a good deal of
squabbling between the parties inter-
ested. Mr.. Burditt, police commissioner
Of this city, has the bonds in hand and
refuses to give them up unless settle
ment can be had on the basis as offered
by Heiser Il Son, for the arrest and re.
covery, which was to any one who would
arrest the party and recover the bonds
the amount of $4,000 would be paid
Heirer & Son have been enjoined in New
York by the police there (who claim
part of the reward) from paying over to
the Memphis police the amount offered.
Mr.. Heiser, jr., of the firm, is here from
New York and is making every effort to
get the money in hand We hope he will
attempt none of bis Yankee tricks, for if
he does he will find the police OF our city
equal to the emergency. There is q
strong probability of Mr.. Burditt
being arrested, and perhaps will go
to Jail. We would recommend that
course before being swinded out of what
is justly due the police force of the city.
The ctfer of FIVE thousand dollars reward
was made, aud the police accepted the
proposition, made the arrest, and now
the proper reward would be kept from
them, in q state of litigation for years
to come, by the juggling scheming Of
Yankee sharpers.
