The El Paso Herald claims the LIB
ERAL is mistaken in the statement
made last week in regard to the bunco
gang in that town. 1t claims that
there is no such gang in the town, that
it is across the river, that the I'll Paso
police force is one Of the most
efficient Sin point of numbers
of anyin the country, and that this
police force is not responsible for what
happens across the river. AS a mat
ter of fact the gang works on both
sides of the river, it never misses a
chance to turn up a dollar, and the
members board at n of the principal
hotels in El Paso. No one would
claim for a moment that the Ell Paso
police was responsible for what might
happen in Juarez. The police may be
efficient in point of numbers, but that
is about the most that can be said for
it. As regards the efficiency of the
members of the force.the less said the
better for the reputation of the town,
they are, taken all in all, a pretty hard
lot. 1t isnot so yerylong ago that one
member Of the force, before his ap-
pointment however, was arrested as a
vagrant, there is now on the force one
man who has been dismissed one
or more times for drunkenness. II
was not very long ago that two men
and a dog were having a scrap in the
city and a policeman was not very fal
away, when he saw there was trouble
he turned his back and started to walk
away. There happened to be a couple
ofmen standing near who saw the diff.
aculty and n vof them called tbs
policeman by name and drew his at
tentlon to the affair. He turned
around and looked at the scrap a mo
ment and then continued his rambl'
towards South Utah street. Oh, yes
the El Paso police force IS mighty
efficient, but its efficiency is some
thing not to brag Of unless it be thl
numerical strength. The El Paso pa
