A night police, one that will be on duty
all night, or at least until ? o'clock in the
morning, is an absolute necessity in this
place, and our people should insist upon
the authorities putting one on at once.
We don't think Western mining Town
would submit to such outrageous cohduct
as frequently disgraces the streets OF tins
town at night, aud we will say right
here that a number of our citizens are
determined that they will no longer put
up with the horrid profanity and OBJ
scene language that they and the ladies'
OF their families have been compelled to
hear night after night on our streets. A
hint to the wise is sufficient. The next
time it occurs the perpetrators will be
made such an example of that it will
likely deter others from repeating such
conduct in the near future, at least.
