Territorial Tidings An awful reign of lawlessnes reported from Colfax county. There are said to be localities out from Springer that are united in defying the law — in fact, it is worth the price of his life for the sheriff to venture out that way to serve court summons, or any other processes of law. When thieves and murderers band themselves together for mutual protection and in defiance of law and order, it is high time that a posse or two of determined men be congregated at a designated place, there to be given their in- structions, from which there is to be no devia- tion. even under the most cold-blooded circum- stances.— Optic.
