| The reporter misunderstood the remarks o
Mr.. Krum on House Bill No. 240, as reporte'
in yesterdays proceedings. After aliuding b
the large number of petitions, coming from ev
cry part of the State, askingfor a law to pro
hibit stock from running at large-Mr. Krun
said If select committee was to be apponte,
on this bill, he desired to call the attention o
the committee to the question of what shall con
sttute legal enclosure. The objection offer
ed to this bill Is, that four feet and half Is no
sufficient height for legal fence. If this b
true, then the many costly and beautiful fen
ces, surrounding your dwellings, and lawns al
over the State, afford no protection against tres
passing animals. Mr.. Krum hoped the com
mittee would carefully consider this question
before they decided that all these fences shoul
be erectedto the height and strength of priso
, walls ' M. . - >
