AT THEIR OLD TRICKs.-The following
narrative Of the later exploits of a family
not unkno WI to our citizens, is taken
from the Upper Des MINES, published
at Algona, Kossuth county:
About IA year ago, a yilainous looking
fellow named F. l.. Trip came to this
place with a woman tn t passed for his
wife They both pretended to be jealous
christians, and by that means the woman
succeeded in getting a position as princi
pal teacher in the district school.
During the winter il came to our
knowledge that Tripp was h'rsethief,
and was supposed to be one of gang OF
barn burners and passers OF counterfeit
money.
About ten days ago Trip having dis
posed of everything here except some
personal property, he managed by max
ing some fuse pretenscs to induce two
poor, hard working Norwegians to ad
vance money for breaking on their home
stcads, which he agreed 10 do immediate
ly. In this way he obtained SO from
Olaf Rungren, and .s15 from Peter Cedar
holm, and $50 from o. A. Atwood for q
horse, and without notice or so much as
saying ''by your leave, sirs," he lit out
for Minnesota Mrs Tripp hung around
town three or forr days after his depar-
turc. made an attempt at a little sharp
proctice, which we have good reasons FOR
believing was not the Iirst. on Friday
morning, last week, she took the trail
and followed after her liege lord
They are both well skilled in villainy
and are by this time laying their plans
to make another raid on some quiet town
in Minnesota.

FEARFUL RUNAwAY.-Last Sunday
O. NJ, Pond attached to a light spring
wagon in which were Miss Minnie Pond,
Miss Pond, the latter driving, were coming
home from the residence of Miss Frzclle
about miles from town toward the city
When near town the boy handed the
lines to his sister, and shortly after in
turning Il corner the wagon passed over
Il large rock, throwing Miss Pond out
under the wheels In falling she scream,
ed, which frightened the horses who
broke into Il Iun, and those in The buggy
being without the lines, the frightened
team were beyond control. The boy
jumped and alightcd on the ground safe
ly, the no SEES in the meantime pursuing
their ma,ldened career with Miss FriZelc
alone in the wagon without lines or other
mems of controlling them. rne c,tls
LfO lie was soon reached. IN turning
another corner the wagon carccncd,
throNing Miss Frizcllc with great VIC
lence to the ground, cutting her face and
bruising her left hip very seriously. She
was Immediately carried mo the resi-
dencc of Geo. n. What, and medical aid
procured. 1t was at first thought that
the hip WAS broken, but subsequent eX
animation proved it to be but bruised.
The unfortunate girl was taken home the
the same evening, and was at last ac-
counts recovering slowly, but suffering
much pain The team went rushing
madly on with only the forward wheels
of the wagon attached to them, and
were finally stopped in front of the Faw-
cett building on Chatham St, but not
until they had very nearly run over some
children on the sidewalk Miss Pond
escaped with but II few 81 ght bruises.

TIE Stock ACT.-Our readers will find
in another place communication from
Auditor Loomis, correcting some misap-
prchensions regarding the adoption by
1868, requiring stock to be restrained
nights. This act has secured a majority
vote 1T two elections, but not majority
of all the votes cast at the election, as
provided by law, and is therefore not in
force. We would like to call the atten-
ton to those of thexeaders of the BULLE-
TIN who are interested, to the other
stock law, that of 1870, which was also
submitted to the people of the county at
the last election, and rejected by ma
jority of about 500. This law is to re
strain stock from running at large at any
time, night or day. We believe that it
would prove a good law in practical
operation, and that its rejection last year
was partly due to misrepresentation Of its
requirements There seems to be an
impression among the farmers that if
adopted it will prevent the grazing of
stock on the open lands, and require the
farmer to keep his stock up and feed it,
or fence in pastures for it. This is not
| correct There is nothing in the law
which forbids the hcrding of stock upon
the commons. 1t simply provides for
damages in case the stock trespasses up
on cultivated lands. There is no qucs-
ton but that it is cheaper for the farmer
to herd his stock than to fence his farm,
and doubtless many farmers have lost
more fin a single day by defective fences
than it would have cost him to herd his
cattle the entire season.
At the meeting of the Board of Super
visors in June, provision was made for
again submitting both these propositions
to the voters of the county at the coming
election. The indications are that many
who voted against the restraining act
last year will this year reverse their ac-
ton, and we hope that all the intelligent
farmers of the county will give the sub
iect Il thorough examination and discus
sion so that in may be decided OH it's
merits. We invite discussion upon il
through the columns of the BULLETIN

The Stock Act.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-It does not seem
to be generally known throughout the
coanty that Chapter IA, Acts of the
Twelfth General Assembly, entitled An
Act to Protect Crops against the Inva-
sions of Stock, is not and never has been
a law in Buchanan County. Useless lit
igation has in number of instances
been the result of this misunderstanding
Chapter 144, after providing that the
voting on the Act shall be done ut
the next general election after submission
by the Board of Supervisors, also pro-
vidcs rs condition for adoption that IF
majority Of all the uotes cast at such
election IN said county be For the Stock
Act then and not otherrise shall the pro-
visions of this act be in full force, ETC."
This language plainly implies that a mere
majority of the votes cast on the propo
sition itself is not sufficient to carry it,
but that there must be a majority of all
the votes cast at the election. OF course
do not pretend to say what the judicial
construction of the intent of the act in
this particular might be; but simply that
this is the plain construction of the Ian
guage, which has been accepted by, and
which has governed the action of the
Board Of Supervisors of our county.
The question of the adoption of Chap
ter IA was submitted at the general cleo
ton of 1869, and again at the last general
election.
The official records of the Board of Su-
pcrviSors show that the whole number of
votes cast at the general election of 1860
was 1921, of which $50 votes were for
the stock act and 90 against it.
AT the last general election the whole
number of votes cast was 2516, Of which
1926 votes were for the stock act and 306
against it.
Thus, while at both elections there was
a large majority of the votes cast upon
the proposition itself in favor Of it, at
neither election was there a ma ority in
favor of it of all the c0tes cast at the cleo
ton The Board accordingly decided the
proposition not Carried
This act has been known as the "night
act" and should not be COMPOUNDED with
the Stock Act of the 18th General Assem-
bly,. which was also submitted at the last
election and lost by large majority.
