Myers spotted two young thieves get
ting of a steamboat on Thursday evening,
and arrested them during the night. They
were yesterday tried on charge Of va
| grancy before Bross, who fined them $40
each. City Attorney Pope stayed e1eeu-
ton for thirty minutes, in which time
they got out Of town.
City Attorney Pope sprung the horse
running-at-largc ordinance yesterday, and
had two citizens fined S. each. The ordi-
nance has been dead letter fo- years
and its sudden resurrection was not ex-
actly fair. Notice Of the intention to put
it in force should have been given, and it
should be enforced az sinst all citizens who
allow their horses to run at large.
Mum was called to Mound City yes
terday to commence proceedings against
deputy sheriff Stoltz, Of Pulaski county,
for killing colored man in that county a
few days ago. This is step in the right
direction. The lives of the colored men
of Egypt must be protected against the re-
publican ofiice-holders and their ku-klux-
IAN associates. These republican office
holders must be taught that the day has
gone by when white men, prejudiced
against the innocent black man, will be
allowed to shoot him down in cold blood
We cannot stand calmly by and see such
outrages. w, will not stand by aud fail to
protest against the wrong. We therefore
called upon to show that he killed the ne
gro who died at his hand while acting in
self-defense or lawfully dischArging his
duty. 1t is bad enough to have our color
ed fellow-ci,izens driven from the jury
: box by the republican officers Of our courts
but the camel Is being loaded too heavily
when radical county officials begin t
: shoot down black men, and dehberatel.
kiln them. Justice calls aloud for the pun
e ishment Of these opprcssors of the blacl
U man.
