PURIFYING 4 TOWN.

Fresno Citizens Rise Up and Declare
War Against the Roughs.
FRESNO August 15th.-For some time
past the people of Fresno have been sys-
tematically robbed by an organized ba2d of
burglars, who have thus far succeeded in
entering half the houses in the city.
On Saturday a FIRE occurred, evidently
the work of incendiaries, which cost our
people $150,800. During this fire many
other robberies were committed, making il
clear that the confiagratioD was started to
aid the thieves in plying their profession.
This last act aroused the citizens TO full
sense of their wrongs, and an organization
was at once effected to patrol the town and
arrest all suspicious characters.
Three hundred Of the most prominent
citizens associated themselves together as
Law and Order Committee, and have
cleaned out that portion of Fresno located
west of the railroad track, and which is in
habited solely by prostitutes, gamblers,
thieves and Cinnamon. Many of the lead
ing desperadoes have been arrested and
sent out of town. The dance-houses have
been closed, and every suspicious charac-
ter that can be found is at once Jailed
Jack Patterson, the most notorious Grim
inal in the county, was escorted to the
south bound train this evening, and given
the choice of leaving forever or being hung.
He left
The utmost good order prevails, though
tonight 200 silent but determined men
armed with shotguns and revolvers, went
out in squads to catch the few remaining
scoundTels.
There has been no Vigilance Committee
organized, but The citizens have simply
come together to keep the peace, instead Of
breaking it. Justat present Fresno is the
most unheslthy place in the State for gam
blers, burglars and bad characters gener-
ally.
CAUGHT N STOCKTON.
STOCKTON, August 15th.-Ye yesterday three
rough-Iooking men, claiming to be from
Fresno, named William Turner, Charles
Moulten and Thomas Howard, got drunk,
and pulling GU pistols commenced shoot
ing at random, but fortunately hit no one
| with the five shots fred. The Chief of P0-
lice arrested Howard while the man had
bis pistol pointed at an officer and threat
ened to shoot.
The officer soon found the other rougbs
| and the party was locked up. They had
two pistols, gold bracelet and a gold ring,
which, il is believed, were stolen at Fresno.
