ABOUT HARD CASES.
of Whom We Have a Few Here.

This is the season OF the year wheI
[: hard cases begin to drop down upor
us. Some time ago bsyy of tarC
I countenanced looking individual
happened into town, and have fouso
quarters 50 comfortable that they
seem inclined to remgiu fer an indei-
inIte period. Ibls bevy LIS teen re-
ceiviDg accsssions every day, until
now the corps Is quite formidable.
Persons who are much on the streets
can readily detect the rev comers-
they have such mild aud child-lIke
vissges. 1t has pleased the chief OF
q certain gang 10 make tnis nis camp
ing gruund for awhile, and ne hss
brought with him come Of hs ilk.
since the advent OF this gang q
couple OF ladies have loss purses,
which we're stolen from their pockets,
one containing $35; g house was
broken into in the Thiri Ward, and
$65 aud silver watch taken out of
trunk; . man in saloon was robned
of q pocketbook containing some
thirty odd dollars, though this act is
not attributed to the recent arrivals,
but TO person who was in the ealoon
at the time; q number Of petty theits
have been committed in different
quarters; on Wednesday night resi-.
dsnce in the Fifth Ward was entered,
. trunk broken open, some clothes
and 1913 stolen. The stolen clothes
ard bride were left by one Of the
robbers as partial payment for bull
let wound which be received at the
hands of young Marsden. Still later
= confidence game was put up, and a
yet OF harness was stolen. This il qui'e
for the knights OF tue
immy. and it looks as though pro-
racted series Of operations OF simi
ar character to those recouDted are to
% Kept up during the winter, pro-
Tided -
II these gentlemen OF nocturnal
rabits and peculiar ideas OF LABOR,
,ver read newspapers, We would call
heir attention to q few facts. During
he early part of last spring and the
after part of the winter. 8 gang OF I
snuine burglsIs-none OF your dirty,
neaking kusves = landed in the
city ofSAlt Lake. They had q
D open field, and enjoyed it. Others
q Ogden, lad little fun there and q
lso made their appearance here. 2
hey we're in clover. They had it
heir own way completely. Opera :,
on after operation was performed, .
-ithout any hindrance or inter d
Irence. The police knew nothing
nd could find out nothing; but some
ow two or three parties were bagged
ne night, and two or three another, :
any person taking the =
ouble to examine the register at =
eneral Buffers hotel will find on it
lie names OF Klein. Moulton, WILDER
I'd others; and if any of that gang
lied to take up their quarters at
lis hotel, they found it convenient u
slope. II the gentlemen now here
we a mind to remain, We have no
Ii ocular objections, but it is rather
ugh that the public should be IN
II the necessity OF seeing that they -
g kept from being hurt; or that " ~
e city should be compelled to bury y;
en-, as came near being the case 80
/ Wednesday night, when one of "
e gang was shot. OF course,
.izens know what their privileges
e when they are being robbed, and
We the right to take every pre-
uiion that may be necessary. II
ey have not sufficient interest to
* after thsir property, the gentle loi
en- who are the subject OF this ar M
lie will no doubt be willing to do il M
them.
II this business is continued some of
% will be hurt. si1
