a negro armed with base ball bat, but lodged
the blow and attempted to arrest his assallant
when some four other negroes similarly armed
attacked him, and the Italian ycndcr fled

and decorated with shoulder straps. The Or
ders, and the promptncss with which they were
obeycd, showed that the platoons we're we'll
drilled.
