The trouble started when Houston

ed the arrest and the officer had to
club one of the soldiers and call for
reserves.
When four city detectives arrived
to reinforce the officer they started
to walk toward the camp and were
met with volley of 100 shots as they
came under a street light. City de-

ribly mutilated. A bay0net had been
