EDITOR News: There is a nuisance
prevalent in this community to which I de-
sire to call attention through your paper
1t is hardly necessary to say that allude
to the running at large of swine. Some
may urge an ignorance of the law-though
this is no excuse, for all are bound to know
tie law-as reason for permitting their
swine to run at large, and that they sup
posed swine TO be commonable as are other
domestic animals. In order that none may
plead ignorance, the provisions of the stat
utes on The subject are given below:
All persons residing in and owning or
having charge of swine In Kansas, shall
keep them from running at large If any
swine are found running at large it is lawful
for any one to take them up as estrays.
After taking up swine as estrays, it is the
duty of the person taking them up within
three days to post up three written or printed
notices of the taking up, with descrip-
ton of the swine taken up, in three public
places in the township, and file a copy of
such notice with one of the Justices of the
Peace for the township, and certify under
oath,t that the notice is true description of the
swine taken up by him. Persons taking
up swine are allowed twenty-five cents for
each head, and a reasonable compensation
for taking care of them. The owner of any
swine taken up may within sixty days OF
the taking up, prove ownership, pay charges
and have possession. If the owner fails
for sixty days from the taking up to prove
ownership and pay charges and take the
swine away, the title shall vest absolutely
in the taker up. Any person taken up swine
and falling to comply with the foregoing
codilions is liable 10 the owner for all dam
ages occasioned by such taking up Com
piled Lars, 1862, PIP. 1854.
These are the provisions Of law on this
subject. and fair warning is given to the
owners ofswine TO confne them. fit is not
done they will be dealt with as the statute
warrants. No one has any desire to shut
up swine to the injury Of the owner. but the
nuisance has become such that it will no
longer be tolerated in the community.
Tie nuisance a0lA be a6ated. Mark the

LAWRENCE AND EMPORIA r. r

At meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Leayenworthi Lawrence and Fort
Gibson Railroad Company, held July the
10Th, 1864, it was resolved that work be
commenced on th main road and its branch
at the earliest possible moment, and that
for the purposes Of a survey Of said road
and branch, and for necessary expenses,
books be opened at points along each route
for subscription of stock. Therefore, the
undersigned, Commissioner Of Stock, at
Empora, respectfully calls the attention of
all who are directly interested and benefited
in the construction of the Lawrence and
Emporia road, to the fact, that in conform
~ with the action of the said Board of Di-
rectors, books will be opened at Empora,
on the 18th inst, at the store of Flick 4
Eskridge, for subscription of stock, and re-
main open for period of ten days. Ger
tifcates of stock will be given to each one
subscribing, in such manner, if possible,
as to secure him against loss; and, if de-,
sired, with condition for the benefit and
security of those living along the route. that
each and every installment paid in, shall be
applied to the work on this road. The fol
lowing form of certifcte will be issued to
the stockholders, and the Directors obi
gated to faithful application of the Install
ments:
This is to certify that -- of --

shares of the stock of the Leavenworth,

dition that the full amount ofeach and every

ed that one thousand shares will be taken

Let US not distrust the success of the
enterprise, but subscribe to the road as be-
comes an enterpfising and public spirited
community When the road shall be com
pleted It may return handsome profit on
the investment. 1t already has a liberal
grant of lands to aid its construction, so

it has already received from the Govern
