 It now looks as though Clifton will have to pGss through an experience similar to that which Tombstone did two or three years ago. The ruughs are there and if the law-abiding citizens | do not look sharp they will get the up- per hand of them, if they have not al rea ' done SO. The longer this "setting mp" murdering and stealing IS allowed to go on, the more reckless and bold will the thieves and robbers become. The bull must be taken by the horns sooner or later. but the sooner the better No lasting or permanent improvements will be made at Clifton SO long Es roughs run the town.

This lawlsssness must be put down, and if the local authorities cannot do it, the Territorial l authorities must.
