Northern Arizona for many years has en- joyed a comparative degree of security from that lawless element which; so predonllnates in new territory, especially where mining is the principal pursuit Usually, in amihlng region. murder and hanging are every day occurrences; crowds which are drawn by the reports of rich discoveries and given to the wild, adventurous life of the prospector and mountaineer. are composed, mainly, ot the efuse of large cities; men who have been driven, through fear of punishment for thelr crimes, from home. They are. reckless and desperate. and their only .desire seems to be to leave behind them record of blood and ruffanism. 9,7l ,-.,uisa h..,-.'s sH
 We were, upto year ago, free, frola thus lawlessless, but since that time deeds of yio- fence have been innumerable, and a mania for human blood appears to have taken pos= session of our heretofore quiet and law abiding population, and to-day, fer the first time in four years, the sallews, which has lain in obscurity, an object of terror and repugnance, has been btodgit into requisi- tion, and the lite of sfeloh offered up in stonement for his nlisdeeds.

 Hanging, horrible at it is, ,ahas only been resorted to in extreme cases. ;lrWe have been Ienient with offenders ofthe law, par ticularly in cases where murder has been committed. This leniency has been taken advantage by this lawless class, and our county jail is now filled with men who are charged with this crime. The time has come when this stain on our fair name must be stopped, and the example .of to- day should warn evil-doers that the laws of God and man shall and must berespected.
