Mr. Iapgood niao connBolod do1ny in coming
to a CONCLUSION until m opinion could be formed
as to the c(lcionoy Of the new forco Of police.
Col, Baldwin looked upon tho establishment
at tho now force aa moro s1,ndow. Only eight
men could be on duty at n tiuo, and, consld-
could not glvo much protection. Ho favored the
inataut formation Of yigiiancob band, or the en-

citncr course would havo to bo adopted this win

iii atrangers rnssiug through woro eyed
with suspicion, alls1 avoided. Ho was Informed
tl,at persons organizing for protection against
tho spread Of fire wcro endowed by tho Fifo De-
partmcut with the privileges Of regularly On

deemed necessary to organize protective aoco-

association called tho "Wost Side Protoct,so

tho alarmed district.
