was justified in using force to
uuells the disturbance. Some
think he was fully justified In
what he did. Others think he
may have been a little hastily in
what ne did as no fire arms were
fired at him and no violence to
lite or person hut what he did in
his official capacity, seeking to
duell the disturbance. In seems
to US that a very grave wrong has
been done by some one, in order
to make it necessary to thus dis
troy and endanger human life.
We hone the coroner will give
it a thorough Investigation and
report all facts that may be
elected.
The Baskets are reported as
having been wild and when
drunken were liable to fall out
with friend or foe.
We hope no further violence
will be necessary. Human life
cannot be given and should not
be taken without sufficient cause.
The officers o. the law should
give il a thorough investigation
into the circumstances OF this
case and let justice be done, let
the blame fall where it will.
1t should be a serious warning
to those who drink too freely Of
Intoxicating liquors. There are
no powers on the earth that pc
duce more fatal results

Henry Brauner, the burglar the charge of shooting
with intent to kill. The principal evidence for the
defence was his own testimony, which was q very
thin story. The evidence against him was conclu
sive and he was found guilty. He has not yet re.
ceived sentence. We believe it has yet been de-
eided whether to try him the charge of burglary
or not.
Brauner was very much incensed ut the items We
have Published concerning him, especially at our
calling him burglar, and has threatened to put a
head on u.s. when he gets out. As it will be some
