Seattle is becoming fearful place for
crime. It is hardly safe for strangers or
citizens, supposed to have money about
them, to appear upon the streeta after
night. Last Monday night Geo. H.
Preston, an attorney and esteemed citi-
zen, was attacked by highwaymen for
robbery. Mr.. Preston, not holding up
his hands as soon as ordered. was shot
in the head, the ball entering below the
left eye. His cries for help frightened
away the murderers,and q hackman hear
ing them, went to the wounded man,
rescued and conveyed him to q doctor Is
Office. Seattle is filed with the worst
of humanity gamblers, highwaymen
and idle vagabonds of all descriptions.
For the reputation OF its fair fame it
should clear itself from such worth
less, dangerous population. It had bet
ter decrease It's census roll to their num-
Der. and thus secure the safety of strang'
ers and citizens from assault, robbery
and murder. Hunt down the criminals
for punishment. and give all such notice
to leave instanter. Every other tswn
should do the same thing. Good order
is the first law of society.
