Show BETTER BE HALF DECENT wit WE have no idea that marshal ireland will pay any attention to complaints about the doings of his bis deputies if they are in the line of making things unpleasant to mormons cormons Mor mons but nevertheless we wedo 6 do not intend to keep silence about their depredations when we think proper to call attention to them we wish now to inform him and his minions that the law does not require them to insult tile the people upon whose privacy they intrude whether to serve a subpoena or a warrant of arrest in searching f for or witnesses at bl big cottonwood this week when they accosted a lad from whom they wanted ty extort information one of them af after ter roughly demanding ni where the lads father was and being told be did not k know 0 O emphatically declared its a lie this is not the first time that the lip lias has been given to young folks and women but they do net usually indulge in such lain language guage to men the ane reason is obvious 8 the drubbing which a vulgar deputy received irom from an irate and plucky lit tle woman into whose room he intruded should prove a caution to his kind of sneaks in no other part of the united states but among chemor the mormon people would persons of that character be permitted to force their way into invalid and old ladies bedrooms to serve sub subpoenas penas or comport themselves with the insolence which is common to some of them we do not intend these remarks to apply to all of the deputies for there are some who endeavor to perform their disagreeable duty like gentlemen but there are others who have none of the instincts of a gentleman and therefore decent treatment cannot be expected of them however their chief could instruct them to oe be half decent and to refrain from aping the role of a cross examining attorney and from callins calling people liars and if they will not profit by such instructions more forcible lessons will perhaps become necessary we know they do not like the hints we give them occasionally occasion lly but we know also that they are not without their effect |
