Show TIME TO HALT. Visitors in our city express theii astonishment in so much drinking of intoxicants here. They are not loth, either, in denouncing the laxness shown by the peace officers since witnessing wit-nessing a few nights ago, as they declare, de-clare, the disgraceful affair of a young woman's life being threatened by a certain individual, intoxicated, and ho attempt at arrest made. Our information in-formation comes, not from a source of gossip, but from men of stability, and for that reason we feel it is proper to mention the matter. On other occasions occa-sions of late there has been shameful behavior, likewise let pass, and what can be the purpose of allowing this state of affairs to go unchecked is past understanding. But it is high time there was a halt and exercise of authority au-thority brought to bear in this respect re-spect if we are to be respected as a community. |
