barn, some with stolen horses and
some afoot. A Mexican wantonly
stabbed the proprietor in the face,
severely wounding him and few
seconds later paid for the deed with
his life. Hugh Rogner, deputy
sheriff. shot him twice, killing him
almost instantly.
leaving their dying comrade the
, convicts made a dash for the rocky
hills, south of the town. A party of
penitentiary guards followed in close
pursuit and before the bewildered
citizens had had time TO form a posse
pursuers and fugitives had disappear
ed among the hills. In a short time
posses had been formed and one of
the most desperate man-hunts in the

victs scattered into small groups, all
striving to escape in the almost i'm
passable stretch of rocky country be-
tween Rawiins and the Colorado line.

WHAT rs UNFIT FOR PUBLCA-
TTCN2

Tom Watson has been indicted in
Georgia for using certain language
IN magazine for which he is re-
Sponslble. He cannot plead ignor-
ance for no man can use purer or
more forcible English when he likes:
If we are to have definition of what
language may or may not pass
through the mails then it is we'll to
choose defendant who is both a
scholar and a lawyer. Mr.. Watson
knows the facts and how to tell
them: we should learn for the public
good whether he is to be denied the
right to send certain facts through
the mails or whether he has sinned
because of the language used to
clothe his facts, or whether he is
furnishing falsenood for facts.
The law denying the benefit of the
mails to obscene literature proposes
a censorship: when a federal grand
jury indicts a man, accusing him of
violating this law, that jury becomes
censor of the press and we sub
nit that the juror fit to censor the
American press would be an extra
ordinary juror. We hold that the
law is indefinite and should contain
fits denunciation: as usually inter-
preted its enforcement would deny
the mails to the poems and plays of
Shakespeare, to the collected works
of Swinburne, to some of the novels
that must remain the masterpieces
of modern literature-most certainly
it would condemn the King James
version of the Holy Bible. We be-
heve this statement is true and, if
SO, the law stands condemned as a
whole and it's enforcement in iso-
lated cases must necessarily be an
act of gross tyranny For law
which cannot be enforced on all, in
all it's meanings and effects, cannot
with justice be enforced against any
one at the caprice of a court or
jury; our constitution forbids such
legislation.
If Mr.. Watson will insist upon a
precise definition of what act of his
is construed as a violation of the
law. he will perform a distinct pub
lie service to the law and to the
people, whatever be the punishment
prescribed for himself or his publ
cation. He must not print false
hoods as facts to the injury of
another. He must not pervert his
tory to the injury of others by
arousing prejudice undeserved in the
mind of the public. He cannot print
facts to the injury of another unless
he can show to the satisfaction of a
jury that he served public need in
SO doing or hoped to do SO. No
