March 12, 1880 – Palouse Gazette

While the mourners were following the remains of Mr. Hall to the graveyard last Friday afternoon, two or three heathenish louts, whose names we refrain from giving, on account of the respectability of their parents, amused themselves by dashing through the streets on horseback, uttering oaths and low bred sayings, and otherwise indulging in such conduct as rightly entitled them to ten days in the city jail. When will this city enforce its laws?
