Cattle Running at Large.

Much complaint is made, by citizens, Of
damage done by cows running at large,
breaking down fences, breaking open gates
and doors, iujuring shade trees, getting
into lots and gardens, and damaging every
thing in their way. The grievance is one
that calls for some positive action by the
council. 1t certainly does seem, if the
country towns in this county have the
power to restrain cattle from running at large
which they have and some of them
exercise it-that Rock Island should exer-
else it also, under the undoubted power it
has in its charter.
We DOW have au ordinance restraining
horses, hogs, sheep. goats, ETC., from run
ming at large at sny time nf day or night,
--but it only applies to cattle between The
hours of IN the evening and in the
morning, and only from April to Decem.
Der. What is needed is that the Alder
men shall SO amend the ordinance as ao
include cattle iu the same category al
horses, hogs, sheep, goats, etc.

AN OPEN LETTER PROM CAPT.
sKEw, OF CoRDovA, TO J. L.
PERKINS, REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR
SHERIFF..
A Cordova Republican Withdraws His
Support.

CoRDovA, Ills. Oct. 4th, 1876.
Mr.. j. L. Perkins, Moline, Ills.
Dear SRI believe promised to sup
port you FOR sheriff of this county-at all
events intended to have done so, but as
the canvass progresses certain things have
transpired which render it impossible for
me to do so, hence feel it my duty to let
you and the public know my reasons for
Withdrawing my support.
First, your party friends in this place
took occasion to denounce every one who
refused to support Hayes and Wheeler, as
disloyal to the government, and stopped
to publishing falsehoods, slang and ridicule
in the public papers, and calling citizens of
this place by name who at least are their
peers in every respect, and making them
subjects of such faisehood, slang and ridi-
cule.
| Again,-at the Republican meeting at
Cordova. on the Both uit, | am informed
that you lowered your self respect so much
as to appear uniformed in said crowd from
Moline, bearing torch. The conduct of
sand crowd, at least many of them, was
such that man having any respect for
himself, and being a candidate for Office,
would scorn to associate with. They were
brought here and turned loose on the citi-
zens. and then the plunderiDg of gardens
and orchards commenced, [, myself, had
to stay in my garden aud orchard till IL

property, and with, at some times, twenty
or more OF the men trying to force their
way in to rob me, until satisfied them
that if they wanted to return in good
health they had better keep out.

port from you, as | have since learned the
feeling is general There was time
since your candidacy. that we thought OF
giving you the unanimous vote Of the
towC, and with a very little exertion il
could have teen done, bct now you vii
only get the votes of those Republicans
who have not independence enough to vot,

of that party may be. aEH
