TH E LEDGER. rhurlow \ Cartel. h EDITOR AND MANAGER. > ????????????? , SATIUDAY, ALUl'NT 1, 1003 w Tho News nod Courier says c that in six months there have been ^ S3 convictions of blind tigers in the city court of Charleston, each ,] being lined $c0. That revenue i ot $4,150 is, it says, "not to be " sneezed at in these dull times." ' ? <! /II I . 1 ... 11 l no v narie?ion paper muutis to ? being a liltlo puzzled l?y the fai t | that while convictions can bo had in the city court, not even a true I bill caa ho obtained against 1 the dealers in the court of ses- ! sions. Truly it is strange that so j many Charlestonians will porjure i themselves. The ultimate result 1 will bo that the grand juries will bo guided by their sympathy in f all cases instead of by the "law J i and the evidence.1' Wo do not , think, however, that the city court is getting enough revenue. Five hundred liquor dealers?the ' minimun number credited to Char- \ leston?at ?100 a year would net the city $50,000 a year and the . city court only secured $4,15u in i six months. Why not double the i tines and tine double the number? 1 ? The State. Closing Around Daring Convicts. Sun Francisco, July 2S.?The tight at Pilot Hill last mght be- ? tween the convicts and their pur- ; utters seems to have been a more * serijus affair than at first report- J ed. After they had looted a pio- t vision store sit Pilot Hill tbev were practically surrounded by s the sheriffs of Sacramento and I Placer counties, each commanding : n ( a strong posve. All four horses | on the convicts' wagon were shot | and one of the criminals was kill > t ed outright. Then the outlaws] raised a white Hag and marched ! up the road with the guards and others whom they had captured ( on each side of them. A general ! volley was not ordered, as it 1 might have killed several innocent f ' men. In this deliberate manner ( tho second escape was made. The pursuing officers have been 1 instructed to shoot the convicts on I i sight and their death <>r capture 1 in the near future is expectod. ...... .....V - < i 11 r< \ ?i LIU i Sacramento, Cal., .Inly -s-?
