Fair Notice to the Vigilantes.

We call the attention of the Vigilantes IN
this country to the accompanying notice of
John Duvall. Sheriff of Ada county. The
outrages of these lawless scoundrels have
been repeated long enough, and they had
better take timely notice of what may be ex-
pected, if this thing is not discontinued.
A few days ago, Mr.. George T. Thompson,
an old resident eff Boise City, offended some
of the magnates of the organic alton, who
retalated by sending him this notice:
Mr.. GEohGE Fl THOMPSON, Boise City. Dear Sir:
The undersigned regrets that it becomes necessary
to call your attention to the fact that fOrgerles
have been committed in this city by the unauthor-
lied and unlawful use Of the name of the under
signed. The perpetrators of these crimes are
known. Their longer presence in this community
will be tolerated only on condition that the offence
be not repeated This yon will observe and CONS
mancate to your feNow offenders, that they may
govern themselves accordingly.
Yours, respectfully, XIX.

county If he persists in using the English

EDITOR WORLD: Dear Sir-The above notce-F
find III the possession of one of our citizens, wno
for aaght know, is guilty of no crime whatever.
Now the object Of this communication. is to call
the attention OF the xxx to the laws of the Ter
ritory, which must and Shall be enforced in Ada
county; at least as far as my duties as an officer
are required: and to enforce them, if necessary,
viii call cut every citizen Of the county to assist
me in stopping the outlaws from their assassina
tion and bribery.
Yours, truly, JOHN DUVALL,
sAf3 Shsri9 Of Ada County 1. 7.
We trust Mr. Duyall will stick to the de-
termination expressed in that letter, and ex-
ecute it to the very letter. 1t is time the
people of this Territory know who the law
makers are. They have tolerated this band
of midnight assassins long enough If the
time has come when the lives, liberty and
property Of the best citizens in the county
are to be sacrificed by a gang of masked
desperadoes, herding In stone eel lars, and
numbering or banishing every honest man
who will not participate in their damnable
| deeds, it is time we understood it. We hope
Mr.. Duval will let the Vigilante band of
seoundrels know that he is the Sheriff Of
that county, and that there is still law, courts
and officers in existance. In maintaining law
and order, he will be sustained not only by the
the bestmen in his own community, but Boise
county will give him its appreciation and, II
necessary, something still more effective.
