which leads irresistibly to the destruction
OF human life. For desperate and bloody
deeds Of lawlessness, Phoebe stands with.
out a rival, to-day, on the Pacific coast.
and, perhaps. in the civilized world. We
were just beginning TO congratulate our
selves upon the supposed fact that bet
ter day had dawned upon us, inasmuch
as the courts. juries and peace officers
were brayely and manfully doing their
duty in the vindication of offended law,
when the ears Of the community are
again startled and shocked by the sound
of a pistol ON one of the most public places
in town and the cry that another man is
killed. This time the deed of blood was
committed by one Of the sworn guard
ians OF the peace; whose friends claim,
however, that he acted in necessary self
defense, and could not have done other
wise than he did without endangering
his own life, which they say will be fully
shown on the investigation of the case
before the committing magistrate. We
therefore withhold any expression OF
opinion until after the investigation.
Whatever may be the results, We can but
deplore the condition of society and pub
lie morals which leads continually to the
use of deadly weapons and deeds of
blood.
