San Francisco, Dec. 24.-The loot

employ, as charged by the owners, has
caused Judge w. w. Morrow Of the
United States circuit court to issue an
Injunction protectiong the mine, which
will be enforced by so watchers ap-

George Wingfield, who, with his as
sociates in the ownership Of the mine,
filed bonds in the suit amounting to
$500, 900, claims that within the last 80
days 81, 100000 worth Of high grade ore
has been stolen and that the looting
dates back for two years.
The Wells-Fargo Express company
is involved in the trouble, according to
Wingfeld. The 1873 sacks of ore al
legged to have been stolen, valued at
$500. 900, were recently shipped by the
company to the Selby smelling works

PUBLIC THANKS EARNED.

In the name of decency, that alb
hors the sight of thing of evil; in
the name Of the respect we bear the
thought of womanhood; in the
name of that tender concern with
which we guard our daughters
against the breath of contamination,
The Sun on behalf of the public of
Paducah thanks Judge Reed for do
ing his duty.
That Kentucky avenue so long
has remained as il is, is the fault of
a complacent public sentiment. The
red light" was there when the pres
ent generation came into being, and
It seemed natural that it should be
there. But a change has come over
the people of Paducah; the public
conscience ds quickened into one of
those inexplicable moods that will
brook no evil while ii lasts. The
crusade of the ministerial assocla-
ton and the good women to secure
a park on the old tobacco ware
house site; the plans of the park
board to boulevard Tenth street, the
proposal of the general council to
open Kentucky avenue through west
ward. and the complaints OF Super
intendent Lieb and the library
board. were but reflections of this
state of the public consciousness.
That such conditions as are pre-
scented in Kentucky avenue should
and do exist in most cities, is shame
enough; TO have them flourish night
" within sight and sound of the
churches, schools, Libraries and
homes of law abiding citizens, where
strangers passing along the princi-
pal thoroughfare can observe the
home of sin, Is unthinkable.
What shall be done with the white
slave drivers and their guilty Great
ures when the courts order goes
into effect next December, is a ques-
ton for the police department. The
women and their hangers-on thieves
and murderers for the most part,
may be driven from the city, or they
may be allowed to scatter whittier
they will, or again they may be
huddled together in some other
quarter far enough removed from
respectability to be certain not to
cause the public conscience another
twinge. II will be the wise course
for the women quietly to obey the
courts order. Unless the police are
ready to wage unrelenting warfare
against vice, obnoxious as Is the
idea of giving countenance to such
awful sin, they will better protect
the citizens by compelling the cour-
tesans to settle on one street, where
they can be watched, the newcomers
spotted" and the whole bevy
quickly rushed into the police sta
ton on those frequent occasions
when the police have cause to sus-
pect the presence in their midst, of
loot or fugitives or discriminating
evidence.
II is not difficult to understand
why the police do not care to dis
turb this nest of vlpers. The police
