WE are again reminded, by re-
cent incident in Boise City, of how
easy 1t is for a newspaper man to

fighter, in an unguarded moment, and
perhaps while meditating over the
fact that his paper is injuring no one,
and giving no one cause for demand
ing redress of grievances. Officials
sometimes are very touchy, and thin
skinned, and very imaginative, and
wholly incompetent to understand the
simplest and plainest sentences il the
English language. Mr.. Bacon, OF the
Boise City Republican, was downed the
other day by Sheriff Wilson, of Ada
county, and but for the interference of {
friend Brother B., who is an aged man
and not built for fighter, would doubt
less have been roughly handled, and as {
result of what? The inability of coun
ty official to rightly comprehend as plair
sentence as was ever penned The edi
tor has to stand great deal, but when HI
has to suffer for the stupidity of a county
| official, rs just little too tough. H,
