Two parties had been handling the
stun for some time. and there SEEM
ed to be no way to put an end to
their mean work. They did not care
for fines and the law had no terror
for them. So a number Of men got

plan is resorted to to get rid OF q
nuisance And We are not so sure

| of all justice and in the face OF an
outraged sense Of decency. We DO
mot know for whom we have more
contempt, the blind tiger or the law
lyer who makes II his business to de-
fend him.
