have strengthened the police force on the
levee, though not enough yet to deal with the
rough characters that frequently get on high

disgraceful and highly discreditable to the
reputation of Memphis. The policeman did
all in his power, and arrested one of the
leaders, but there should have been dozen
or more arrests. Sergeant Arratta and PATROL
men Jenny and Scott were down on the levee
yesterday, and everything was quiet all day.
