HERD LAw.-Ths will doubtless be one ofthe ex-
citing questions before the Legislature this Win
ter. 1t will be hard one fol the members from
Doinphan Comfy to vote upon. In the western
part of the County, the people seem to he large
ly in favor of sueh law; while in the eastern
part along the river, where timber is plenty,
they are opposed to it. So that it is n question
of self interest, after all. Those who have tim
Der, can afford to fence; but isn't it rather
hard case to compel thuse who have no timber,
to fence their land in order protect their crops
against their neighbors' stock.
Many are in favor of leaving the question TO
the voters Of the several Counties. This might
be well enough in some respects; but it would
eanse mischief along the boundary lines of ad-
joining Counties, one of which had adopted the
herd law, and the other rejected it.
One of the best farmers and most pro minent
citizens of the County writes us that he is en-
phatically in favor of hertl-law, not only as
means of great saving on the part of persons
who have no timber, means to buy it, but also
a matter of public economy. He mentions,
for instance, the item of damages in locating
roads, which annually amounts to a heavy sum-
The road damages arise almost wholly from the
fences that have to be moved. The cost of the
land taken is merely triae-many persons be-
ing willing to give the land, for the convenience
of the road. These damages have to be paid by
the taxpayers of the County. The writer says
that it wOuld be a great benefit to him to let his
cattle run at large for year or two yet, but
when he considers the interests of the County,
he would be perfectly willing to give up his
outside pasture, and take care of his own prop
erty This last clause is the essence of the whole
question-every man take care of his own prop
erty, and not compel his neighbors to build ex-
pensive fences, in order to protect their crops
from his stock.

Eails 90 Give Bond nad Goes 90 Lnil.

Topeka, January 1s.-Mr. Lappin was arrest
ed again to-day, just as be leaving for Chi
cago. The affidavit on which he was arrested
charges that Lappin, by means of false tokens
and writings to snit forged school bond obtain
ell the signatures of the school commissioners to
orders to the amount of S5,7SS and it also ellarg-
es him with embezzlement To the amount of $50
shortage, and near % 900 in the Nemaha County
memorandum receipt ease. The prosecution
gave notice that they should add twenty seven
other counts To the information, covering all the
forged bond cases. All of these, except the Mem
aha County and the $500, covers the case for
which he has given bonds. Under another name
that of getting money by false pretences-the
suit on which he was arrested in Chicago has
been dismissed and consolidated in the suits to-
day. The prosecution claims it has undispnted
evidence that Mr.. Lappn was about to leave the
country, and express themselves that he shall
not be allowed to leave until trial. An adjourn
ment had until three o'clock tomorrow, and
bail fixed at $4,000. He did not get bail, and
left the court room with the Sheriff and is now
in Jail.
