Last Friday night , while taking
their regular constitutional about
10:30 : p. m. , several young men
were startled to see someone cele
brating the Fourth ahead of time.
A high board fence , which never
looked good to them before , sud
denly took their fancy and they
made a hundred in a ten-clip to
get behind it. There they watched
the celebration in perfect safety.
In the meantime the marshal
bravely attacked the marauders ,
and , with much risk to his life ,
took a pistol away from one and a
razor away from another , and un
assisted landed all three in jail.
The town is to be congratulated
on having such efficient police of
ficers who are always on hand
when trouble occurs ( that is , when
it is all over ) . The young men
behind the fence hailed the mar
shal as their deliverer , because
bullets did not look good to them.
Let everybody unite in praising
our marshal for his brave and
heroic deeds. One can venture on
the streets at any time of the night
in perfect safety with such officers.
