JUSTICE CRUELLY. MOCKED.

N NICE more has Justice been made mockery in | ] California and new disgrace added to a long
 / list The courts have again been brought into reproach, and twelve jurymen sodden with tears of sympathy-not for the victim of murder, but for the murderer-have placed themselves on record unfit tc interpret any phase of law, incapable of fulfilling plain duty.
 The acquittal of Rosser. the slayer of Hidebrand, was not merely an outrage; it was a crime Where the widow weeps to-day for her dead and will not be comored that the slayer of her husband has escaped punishment must be a sorrow. It IS a procla- nation that the man who loved her. who provided for her. in whom her hope, all the promise of her future the man on whom she leaned, whose strong arm wrought for her, and whose hand was laid upon her in gentle caresS; who took her to his bosom his joy in life to have her there legitimate prey for proving, drunken soldier, whose impulse to murder had been stirred by the vile liquor of the dives.
 What man IS safe in walking the streets in fol- lowing his vocation? Into what household may not grief be sent by the bullet of ebrate? jury has sad-O, noble jury; O. jury benign and lachrymose: jury which left the courtroom after its wicked and farcical verdict going to its several home unblush- ng--that murder in California Is no wrong provided
 paid attorney weep and aged father sit by sobbing as the purchased tremulo of the peaders voice insults the listening intelligence insults the statutes the State and the God who forbade the shedding of blood
 Let the names of these jurymen be printed large and let them be not forgotten Because of them so- ciety is in peril, and the scales of Justice weigh no more Here are the twelve enemies of good order promoters of butchery the make believe citizens who must share the burden of the odium they have sniy- elingly created:

probably majority We're drowned.
Reports state that Shawneetowu is
completely washed away and that the
raging waters extend four miles beyond
the limits OF the city. The water stands
from twenty to thirty feet all over the
town.
Hundreds OF survivors took refuge on
the roofs Of hOus or sought safety in

men rescued them "a fast as possible
