CRONICA
SIN GARANT1AS

No hace mucho tempo escribimos
an articulo demostrando Ia necesi-
dad en- que Sc halla esta poblaci6n de
que Sc aumente Ia fuerza de orden
publico . que Sc habiliten parejas de
Ia gQardia civil, sobre todo para ell
servicio nocturno de la ciudad.
Desde entonces los robos raterias
aumentan cada noche, y no pasa IN
solo dia sin que tengamos que dar
cuenta de lg1n hecho de esa natu-
raleza.
Anoche IN guardia mato IN
ladr6n quien, sorprendido infraganti,
agredi6 q aqusI ounal en- mano.
Seg0n !os datos que en- otro sitio de
este numero publicamos, entire el la
dr6n J Ia pareja hubo lucha, cuerpo
a cuorpo, y 81 esta hubiese tenido
companeros que en- Ell acto la auxi-
iasen, el ladr6n hubiera sido desar-
mado, sln verse los guardias en- 81
terrible trance de arrancarle la vida.
Este hecho viene a conhrmar mas
Y mas 10 que decimos respecto a Ia
escacos de guardias. Ponce es una
ciUdad grande Y extensa, lindando
por todas sus parties con el campo So
l]tario, cireunstancia que faciIita L,
haida de los malhechores. De ahf
ei que aqui Sc pueda robar, herir
matar impunemente. EI as4sinato
de Cotorruelo, cometido en una calle
ne mucho translto, a las siete ne-
dia de Ia noche, viene desmotrarlo
pamarIamente, envalentonando su
impunidad 4 los demas asesinos Que
Sc agiten en- Ia sombra.
La seguridad personal en- Ponce,
despuos que las sombras de la nocho
envuelven 4 Ia ciudad, es un mito.
Nuestras vidas estan a morced del
primer malvado que quiera disponer
de elias. Tn grito, una yoz de alar-
ma, dadas por el agredido Sc pier
den en- el espacio: su eco muere
entire las GALES solitarias, sin Que
puede llegar los oidos de los esca
SOS guardlas que por parejas hallan
Sc aiseminados ell IL ciudad.
FL jefe de Orden pllblico, senor Ga
rrisa, y el Gobernador General, no
;gnoran este. Varias veces 10 hemos
dicho desde estas mismas columnas,
exoitando su amino para que doten a
esta pob!aci6n de la fuerza de seguri-
dad necesaria, 4 que tiene d8recho Il
yeciudario de Ponce, que no hay "a
z0a nlnguna para que lie ese modo Sc
le deje abandonado 4 las venganzas V
fechorias de ladrones y asesinos.
Pero hasta hoy, esas autoridades
han mirado con desden las adverten-
cias De los periodicos. Ponce cont
nda sin policia; los robos menudean;
las raterias aumentan; las heridts \
agresiones estan Ia orden del dia
y carecemos de vigilancia, y el paci-
hco ciudadano anda expuesto SCI
obleto de una acechanza q de IN cri-
mon.
Cuando e8as autoridades euieran
romediar 81 NAL sera tarde; cuando
quieran corregir 81 abuse, seran i'm
potontes para clio.
Cuando a un pueblo Sc le abando-
"a de ese lnodo, ia criminalidad toma
grandes proporciones, y entonces eI
vese obligado q salir 4 IA
Gale llevando on sus bolsillos IN arma
defensiya. que haga las veces de po-
licia y de jnez.
Hasta nosotros llegan confdencias,

In the county, or that the judge was absent
therefrom, and which failed to show that the
sheriff and his deputies were interested In the
proceeding out Of the county, or I'm any way
disqualified TO act, but II contained as an only
reason that the plaintiffs attorney had looked
with diligence for the sheriff or his deputy,
but In vain, and that IL was important that pa
pers should be served at once; In fact, the
sheriff and his deputies were In the county,
and several deputies were In the county seat,

Upon q motion to discharge the attachment

/. A written bond or contract for a deed OF
land, putting the purchaser thereof in imme-
diate possession, and containing no provision
for the forfeiture of the bond or contract il the
purchaser fails to pay the installments Of pur-
chase money due thereon, passes the entire
equitable estate to the purchaser. The legal
title is merely held by the vendor as security
for the payment Of the balance Of the purchase
money
2. Where possession is taken under such O
bond for a deed, the purchaser has such an
equitable title to the real estate as Is sufficient
to sustain an action to recover possession
thereof against party subsequently obtain
ing, without right, wrongful possession.
3. purchaser holding under bond or con-
