Who are Subject to License.

There being some question as to whether
certain dealers were subject to license as
"Hawkers and Peddlers" under the State
law, Mr.. H. Kleinpell, the State Treasury
Agent, addressed certain inquiries to At
torney General Sloan, and fthc following
being the essential part of his reply, is pub
lished for general information:
am in receipt tof yours of yesterday,
submitting certain Inquiries in relation TO
chapter u of the laws of 1870, and in reply
would state:
}. That in my opinion said acts include
cattle dealers who travel from place to place
selling cattle purchased from o,hers) and
that such dealers must obtain license as
hawkers and peddlers.
2. am of opinion that peddlng meat
comes within the provisions Of the act re-
ferred to, and license is required.
3. Section of the act of 1876 is in ma
ture of an exception, and being in separ-
ate section of the statute it is matter of
defense which the prosecution need not an
ticipate or notice. Vid Byrne v. State, IL
Wis. p. 5i9.
4. | am of opinion that a patent right
dealer is required to take license in all
cases, unless he is the inventor of the arti-
Gle offered for sale, or the article is manu-
fl ctured by him. Sale of territory pur-
chased from another is clearly within the
provisions of the law.

During the storm that visited this eli ty
and vicinity last Friday afternoon, the
dwelling house Of Mr.. Patrick Burke, 8
miles west of the city, was struck b.
The lightning passing into the
house through the roof. In its descent the
fluid struck the shoulder of daughter of
Mr.. Burk, aged about twelve years, and ran
down her body to the knee when it sep,r-
ated and passed from her. The girl was
knocked senseless from the stroke, but her
father, who was in another part of the
house, experimenting the danger was soon
at her side, and rendered what assistance
he could for her relief. She was restored
in short time and found to have received
no injury beyond some burns on her body.
1t must be regarded, however, as very
narrow escape from death. The house re-
ceiVed little if any damage from the stroke.
