EDITOR GAzETTE-We II state to you
that during the last week we have had
reputed TO us the robbery of persons to
the amount of $40 upon our public
square. So far as we know the stealing
was done all from country people, hard
working farmers. They gather up their
hard-earned dollars and with their fami-
lies come to Fort Worth to buy groceries
and necessary articles r, aching the
public square and seeing the big crowd
around the wagon of the woman doctor,
they push to see the miracles and come
out with their pockets cut open and
money gone.
Mr. Editor, will you not try and say
something that will induce our good
county court, or worthy Sheriff Maddox,
or City Marshal Rea to stop II? The last
victim was to-day; loss, $l40 Would IL
not be a good idea to call a public meet
ing Of the people. Maybe some one would
suggest remedy. In the big cities they
do it this way Put up signs, "look out
for pickpOckets,n and the police 90 into
the crowd with big stick in their hands,
aud say "move on, move on" If such
dolngs were going on in the courthouse
SQUARE of st. Louis or Chicago
the people would think the world
was coming to an end, and the
newspapers would say terrible things
and even hint that the policemen and
city authorities were in with the thieves,
and the miracle business, not that they
believed IL, but just to make the police
authorities mad with the thieves, and
the miracle business.
Mr.. Editor, what do you think OF this
idea? For Marshal Rea 10 call up the
police force tomorrow morning and
make a little speech TO them In con-
clusion, when they all were looking at
him, wink his left eye and say, officers
clean them out, thieves, miracle business
and all The people will be glad to hear
from you upon the subject, or any other
good citizens. GEORGE ii. CHASE.
