ED. HERALD-Onc Of she most
cowardly aad Aenlish sdeeds was
committed here last night. A cow
ard in the shape Of man they call
Tom Gormley, came to this camp
two days ago. from the north, where
he has been for the last few NOR tbs.
He is an overbearing, sneaking low
down sot, don't care FOR work, spends
his time with lewd won en and W Is
ky, and will try TO raise fuss with
good, inotfensivc men, tor the sake
of employing a large knife that he
always carries with him, concealed
and ready to plunge into some poor
fellow, Last night he sccompli hel
what he has been after for years A
young man of good reputation and
as inofensive as you ever saw, by
the name of Harry Kowls got in,o
conversation with this cowardly
Gormley and 4 dispute ar ose between
them about some insignificant thing
and a fuss followed, and this british,
iHhuman, so-callsd Gormlsy drew
his knife aud struck Knowls in the
side, above the nip bone, p-netrar
ing the cavity from six to sew, n
inches, and the poor fellow is str t. n
ed on his cot to-day, wiihou: the
least hope of recovery; and \ heavy
81 ON of horror IS spread through
tho whole camp. We Ask in the
name Of humanity, how long are
such bloodthirsty villains and COW
ardly ours to be left to curse the
earth with their helli~h leeds: THIS |
.3ormley has been driven cut of ev-
cry camp in the Territory that he
has visited. Notice was given to
him at Tip Top to leave thai camp, |
and he left in hurry. The last no.
tice was given him only week a 20
to leave in two hours and he left in
five minutes, never to show his ugly
presence in that camp again.
For this cowardly dead he has
been arrested and is now in the Phe-
nix Jail, from which place he should
go to the galIow,. the only place ii t
for such devils in human form ns
Gormley is. Care should be taken
OF him that he don't break Jail. The
law should take its course with him
and by all means he shoul pay the
penalty, his crime de. erves.
We have been in every camp in
The Territory, and q better class of
men we have never seen
