"The next time anybody in Sedali
: wants a man and his wife to z
= beyond the precincts of safety, b
3 must refuse to 60 and eommenc
scrapping."
That Injunction was entirely III
necessary.
They amt going.
And again where is the line Of tn
precincts of safety"
Rev. Mr.. Boiler COMPLIMENTARY
Sleuth" by saying that be hoped 81,
600 reward for the arrsst and deten
ton Of the criminal would be enough
but S., 900 reward would be NOR
of an incentive for the detectives {,
take up the trail and scent him to hi
hiding place and bring HIM to bay
That amount of money would tempt
the keenest of the force to trace tn,
miscreant successfully.
"What shall we do if we catcf
him." Intercepted the speaker, gaz
ing into the faces of the very attentive
audience.
Lynch him !"
"Soak him in coal oil !"
Burn him :"
"Don't leave a grease spot of him p
mo, not that"
BE calm"
"He is fellow mortal"
"In the excitement of the hour,
don't lose your heads.'
"This man is not guilty of the
highest crime known to the law. Muir.
der is higher"
The BAzoo desires to kindly cor
rect MIR. Boiler. Both the crime of
Tuesday night and murder are pun
ishable with death by the statutes of
Missouri.
"Murders have been committed in
SedaIia and there was no talk of
lynching," said the pastor.
81 don't want one of his church
or christian or any one else to COM
NIT murder by being q party to assist
in lynching this villain, if caught.
ITO lynch is murder.
Let the law take car. of him. 1t
Is amply capable and it will always be
done when it is backed up by as
healthy public sentiment as we have
IN Sedalia."
The reverend speaker then did credit
to his pulpit, to himself and to the
church he represents, by pleading for
law, order, and supremacyof the law
on all and every occasion, regardless
of provocatiOn.
Earnestly did the speaker entreat
all to observe the law, for without it
as governing power We would be at
sea, and chaotic condition of affairs
would follow, and there could be no
true state of society without the en-
forcement of law. II we have bad |
law, the quickest way to get rid of it
is to enforce the same and soon it |
would be repealed. Protect the vii
lain until proven guilty in a compe-
tent court of Justice.
"What is the remedy? Asked Mr..
Boiler.
Garry pistols ?"
Not in civilized country"
''No man is brave who fights for
his money"
eff hishwayman demands your
money, give it To him"
"Dop't try to shoot him."
'He is probably skilled in the use
# fire arms, while the average citizen
s a novice in the use of the pistol"
The speaker referred to the fact of
he shooting of Condor by Parmerlee.
t ParmerIee had had no pistol Con-
lon would to-day be living. The
most of people have too high temper
o carry a pistol without somstime
lsing it too hastily. The law may
cqult Parmeriee but the speaker
cared that public opinion would not
Wholly do so.
The speaker spoke of the killing of
'urress by McCord and he laid this
rhine to the door of the saloon. |;
Mr.. Boiler then got after the city
administration mildly, but wound up
n the matter by saying:
'1f the present administration is q
God one, let us by our votes con-
nue. it,
That's business, Mr.. Boiler. 1t is
ne best the city has had for years
nd the present arrangement is that .
will be continued, with but few dis
enters.
