Rese�a del editor

Bonville, IT. S. A., was about to prove its hatred of law-breakers by taking the law into its own hands. It was also prepared to mark its recognition of the sacred laws of hospitality by giving a stranger and a foreigner a handsome swinging. In spite of the late hour and the darkness, the citizens of Bonville had forsaken whiskey-saloons and quiet card-parties, feeling that whiskey and euchre were always with them, but a horse-thief, once hanged, could not be relied upon for further entertainment. He had been opportunely met by theS heriff, caught redhanded, so to speak, riding one of the two stolen horses and leading the other. The Sheriff had tried to get his prisoner quietly away to the nearest jail, Bonville having none. But they were Bonville horses that had been stolen, and when the citizens of Bonville heard of theS heriff sintention, a sufficient number of them crossed his path, some six miles out, and, by unanswerable argument, persuaded that stout and conscientious little man that Bonville could and would attend to her own affairs. The Sheriff now watched the progress of these affairs, rueful and carefully guarded, spit ting now and then in contemptuous disgust as he saw how things went. They went badly for the prisoner.
