alne aine begged him nou not to say so a juryman declared they could not bring in an any y other verdict a reporter objected to any discussion on the matter a spectator deprecated the idea of a juryman wrangling with the prisoner a court officer exclaimed clear that passage there and the prisoner was hurried out of court a much sadder badder man than when he entered it 11 a convicted murderer overrunning over running with passion vindictive and resolute 11 JUST at this juncture when there Is a general funeral outcry for a more vigorous and healthy vindication hogood of good and wholesome law when possibly partly as a consequence a prominent new now yorker has been url uri unexpectedly expectedly convicted of murder and aud sentenced to debth death and the new york herald is crying ou I 1 our murderers let them all hang together this thies community ib ir in A a forment ferment caused by the recent exposure of bf cattle robbery on a stupendous scale beale in the northern portion of the territory evidently conducted on a regular and systematic system atio plan pian for a long time art sly siy bot nuu that cattle stealing is confined to the north for there Is also considerable in the south but the north takes the ibe palm for the extensiveness of the operations we are very bure sure that the sentiment of this thib community is not in favor of the existence of bold daring defiant reckless bands of thieves and other criminals insky in any portion of this territory and that sentiment should be made manifest on the bench at the bari bar among witnesses and even by th the e acquaintances of the criminals as well us as by the public at large it is not in the slightest degree desirable that the dark wave wava of crime which is reading spreading bp over so BO many portions of the country should also cover this territory wh which ich so BO far as the bulk of the inhabitants 16 14 concerned has made so fair a record it Is the express duty and the highes highest interest of every citizen not only to frown down crime but to stand inflexibly by and sustain those who seek beek to uphold and administer good and wholesome laws lawa with impartiality so that life and property may be as secure as pos possible elble bible and those who have property lawfully may not be unlawfully deprived of it with impunity this is the tho plain and positive duty of every citizen i official or nonofficial non official and it should be die discharged charged without fear or favor leaving the result with providence and it will work out right when this coune course is taken criminals of all classes will soon become searce scarce it is sympathy that encourages and emboldens criminals HON hox baptist noel whose death was waa announced yesterday jan 20 was a

little reflection will be sufficient for the conviction that where such high rates of interest prevail as do here a much larger amount of capital could be readily invested with handsome profit to it its owners people in england who live upon their income fromm 3 per percent cent con sols sois or other similar investments would make a handsome fortune by investing their cash in utai utah if only
