TOmbstOne's Remedy.

The quiet, labOring classes Of the
young Town of Tombstone, in Ari-
iona, are bitterly complaining that
lit has become Il resort of thieves,
robbers and cutthroatS. Peaceable
citizens are cowed and at the mercy
Of these scoundrels. The Courts
are too slow and uncertain in the
administration of justice. and the
peace officers are ineffective. About
eighteen or nineteen years ago min
ing discoveries drew large number
of people from this State and else
where to the town of Aurora, now
in the Bodie district, east of the
Sierra Nevada. Thieves, gamblers.
robbers. murderers were the van of
that remarkable migration. They
early took possession of the town
and held it with a high hand for a
year or two. though they constituted
but small fragment of the aggre-
gated population of the district.
They rode rOugh-shod over saloon
keepers, merchants, miners and
hotel-keepers. If they wanted a
thing they took it at the mouth of
the revolver. and the loser was glad
to get off with his life. If any sim
gle citizen protested by word or look
he became a marked man, and was
killed. When the murderer was ar
rested his cOnfederates swore him
clear. When the peace officers were
too faithful to duty they too were
spotted" and killed. One day there
happened q murder Of uncommon
atrocity, and a few good citizens got
together for the organization Of
Vigilance Committee. Before the
next sun rose the Vigilance Com
mittee had about all tie good names
in town enrolled, and by night II
