Private Watchmen Guard Homes All Night In City
A New York Tribune description details private watchmen patrolling upscale districts from 10 p.m. to daylight. They check locks, fix minor gaps, and cover 30 to 40 houses per beat, earning 1.50 to 5 dollars monthly. They carry nightsticks and revolvers but lack arrest powers, relying on citizens to detain thieves until police arrive.
