Cruelty to Prisoners

The Herald Republican seems to be greatly
perturbed because the police officers of Salt Lake
City have been laying firm hands on criminals
when engaged in placing them under arrest.
Recently, in the early hours of morning. an
alarm was sent in to police headquarters which
conveyed the information to the police that a bur
glar had been seen TO enter the basement of a
store.
Without hesitation, true to his duty to protect
life and property. an officer jumped from the pa
troll wagon and entered the basement. Immediate
ly he came face to face with the outlaw who, as
was subsequently shown, attempted to kill the
officer. In order to protect himself and capture
the fellow who was engaged in mission OF steal
ing, the officer was compelled to knock the fellow
down with his revolver.
As soon as possible. the Herald Republican
came out with a most vicious attack on the police
department for the cruel methods used in making
arrests citing the above case as an example. and
quoting the statement of the burglar that he had
been cruelty beaten.
OF course, there was nothing in the claims OF
the paper but to oblige it. the police department
held an investigation. and the evidence submitted
proved conclusively that the officer would have
been justified in using much harsher means than
he did employ in making the arrest.
All of which shows the inconsistency of some
newspapers as well as persons. Speaking frankly.
we doubt IL there is one instance in five thousand
arrests where an officer uses more force than is
necessary. In attempting to make an arrest
where the offense is felony, an officer takes his
life in his hands. Ordinary citizens become
frightened out of their wits if hold-up and a
burglar or an all-round bad man breaks loose in
their vicinity, and franticay call for officer to
come to their relief.
However once the officer has the offender
safely under lock and key. some one almost invar-
iably is ready to charge the officer with being
cruel towards the prisoner.
We can fancy an officer, searching for hold
up. an assassin, thief or murderer, approach
ing such an one with polite carriage and pleasant
smile We can imagine how effective would be
such words as, won't you please come with me?
You are violating the law and you ought to come
with me and be locked up"
Such gentle methods, or anything approach
ing sympathy toward man who is knowingly
breaking the law would be destructive of law and
order. There may be instances where prisoners
have been more roughly handled than was neces
sary, but where one prisoner is handled too Sc
verey. a thousand are handled more gently thar
their crimes and cruel dispositions would merit

THE GREAT BATTLE OF
MAUVlLE.
BY A. w. MACY.

Never was there fought a
more hotIy contested or bIooder
battle on American soil than
that of MauviIe (the ancient
MOBILIZE, on October IS, 1910.
On the one side was DeSoto and
a few hundred followers, armed
with guns and protected by
armor. On the other were many
thousands of Indians, armed
with bows and arrows and such
like primitive weapons. To the
Spaniards defeat would mean
annihiIation; while the Indians
fought with the desperation
born of a determinaticn to drive
out the invaders or perish in the
attempt. All through the after
noon they fought hand to hand,
the Spanish soldiers charging
CALAMITY, the Indians rushing
upon them with sublime lndif-
ference to death. But discipline
and steel prevailed. and the In
dians were overwhelmed by the
terrific onslauehts of the Span
ish cavalry. When darkness fell,
the streets of the Indian village
was literally piled with Indian
corpses. But DeSoto paid dear
Iy for his victory, for forty-two
of his devoted followers lay
dead, and the survivors carried
1,7oo wounds that needed sur
geon's care.
