appearance of which caused an abrupt |
departure OF all hands FROM the saloon.
But W. l.. Mckee, Deputy Sheriff, |
heaved in sight when the matter had
almost illuminated III sangninary en-
counter, and arrested Boyd, taking him
to Jail. Matters then quieted down; and,
under ordinary circumstances, nothing
further would have been said or done
about the matter. But we should re-
member that the deed Of which com
plant is made was committed by peace
officer. While we hold that every citi-
zen is bound to keep the peace towards
his neighbors and the public, we main
tain that the obligation to keep the peace
towards every one is doubly binding
upon man who is sworn to maintain
order. Our personal feelings are with
the accused, yet We feel that great
wrong has been committed, and further
that we would be recreant to the public
interests did we not expose SO great a
departure from duty. The conduct of
Deputy Sheriff Mckee was just what it
should have been, and whatever credit
is due to an officer for doing his duty,
regardless of consequences, is surely due
to Mac in this instance. 1t is source
of regret among all good citizens to find
an officer SO far torgetful of his obliga-
tons and his duty as to become intoXi-
Gated and make an assaultupon citizen
with weapon. 1t is necessary for peace
officers to go armed, and when an officer
so armed and invested with an import
ant trust abuses his authority, he should
be dealt with summarily. We men,
| ton the circumstances OF this case in
sorrow-not in anger. Let officers do
their sworn duty, and we will always
sustain them to the utmost of our power;
but when they transcend the bounds of
duty and impose upon citizens, we can
not refrain from denouncing the act.
We honor the brave and dauntless officer
who risks his life in the discharge of his
duty; we cannot and will not sustain
those who abuse the powers entrusted to
them.
