 THE ARIZONA RANGERS.
 Occasionally there arises just such matters as the disreputable affair. which developed on the streets of Bis bee last Tuesday evening. unpleasant in character, and bringing upon an or sanization the contumely which il should not have had, but for the hot headedness of a man totally unfitted to wear a policeman's badge.
 The Rev. Joseph G. Mcconnell was voluntary caller at the office of the Review yesterday, and said: T was a witness to the brutal treatmen; in the case of Radebush, when his face and head was beaten in by a ranger, and I will be glad to have you use my name in the matter, and add to this that a more brutal evidence of mans brutality to man has never come un- der my observation" These are the words of a man who does not come from down the line" nor up the line. ' but is a minister of God. whose word will be taken on or off the stand per haps as readily as any rangers that halls from Naco. This is only one of a number of people who have called at the Review office, telephoned or writ ten 10 this paper commenting it's course in taking up the vicious brutal ity of the officer sent in here ito pre- serve the peace" What farce' What a mockery of peace keeping, An other very prominent business man said: The Review is right in the matter, and I have taken the trouble to forward to Governor Brodie the ar ticles, and with a recommendation that an immediate remedy be applied. v May be the rangers think this gentle man does not have much influence with the governor of this territory. They will see. The ranger force was organized to take to the ranges, and to do just what they did do under Captain Rynning and Lieutenant Eos ter, and these gentlemen never rushed into print with gob of yellow jour nalism" rolled up like a quid of tobac- co between their cheeks.
 They are simply peace officers, police men hired to do the work of the peo- pie of Arizona. and not to terrorize anybody. They can run down to Sixth street in Douglas, and rush into dive and shoot such people as Lon Bass where they have no business to be, but they can not and SHALL not buffalo anybody in Bisbee The people or Bisbee refuse to be governed by the gun and cartridge belt. It will take for ty times the number of rangers sworn in to take care of Bisbee if any per son connected with that force thinks 2 brutal swaggering bully with a gun can come in here and treat people as has been done this week, and the Re view knows the sentiment of the peo ple here as closely as eny Lieutenant Rr;eadier General or Czar there is. in Arizona
