JUSTICE SWIFTLY
METED OUT

The swift justice which was
meted out last Friday by Judge
Hamilton at Toledo, to Charles
Reynolds and Harry Jones, the
two brutes who assaulted Mrs.
r. 2. Lakin, near Chitwood,
Thursday afternoon. was most
timely, for if there had been any
delay, or technically raised, the
wrctches would probably have
found themselves dangling at
the end of a rope, a fate they
most justly deserved.
The sentence Of life imprison-
ment, imposed within a day af-
ter the inhuman fiends had been
caught, and their confinement
in the penitentiary the next day,
shows how Oregon justice can
be handled when once aroused.
Judge Hamilton did well to
compliment the citizens of Lin
coin county for permitting the
law to take its course, but 1t is
somewhat a matter Of doubt if it
had not been more wise to save
the state the cost Of supporting
such brutes, with the possibility
of their sooner or later being
pardoned, by giving them the
short shift they so well merited.
The TEMPER Of the people who
caught these men so soon after
the crime had been committed
speaks well for the restraint they
put upon themselves.-Corvallis
Times.
