THE Council would do one Of the
very best things they ever did do, if they
would pass an ordinance making 1t an OF
fence for any one to follow an officer
while such officer was engaged in taking
a prisoner to the lookup. The way par
ties crowded after the officers Saturday
night last, was very wrong and should
not be longer tolerated. We hope our
Council will take this matter up at once
and thus assist our police officers to pre-
serve peace and good order in our city.
