that 1.-THE common law imposes on the
owner of domestic animals the duty of
keeping them on his own land or within
Enclosures, and he becomes wrongdoer
if any of them escape or stray off upon the
lands of another person. This, as gen.

stantially the same point was passed upon
in Page VS.. Hollingsworth, Ind, page

to keep his cattle ON his own land" citing
all the foregoing authorities. In Myers

deciding that section l, of the statute of
1852 applies only to outside fences, say
further, "The parties to a partition fence,
are equally bound to maintain such fence;
either may repair it, and enforce contri-

Ind. page 407. What we have said as to
expense of erecting and maintaining par

fences between farmers. AS to fences
The general railroad law of this state re-
quires the company to have their road Sc
curely fenced in, and such fence properly
maintainee by such company, lessee,

erected and maintained by such company,
they are relieved from responsibility for
the killing of cattle if they, notwithstand

run over by the cars The company are
not responsible except for gross negli-

''Win you play us Friday with three
Hamburg boys L. +. LEAvEL,
Captain Morehouse Buffers
To which the following reply was
sent:
"Can't play you Friday. Will play you
any day next week with three Hamburg
The Monroe boys say that the reason
they declined to play Friday was that
they could not possibly, in such short
space of time. make tho necessary ar
engagements for the proper reception of
tho visiting clubs; but had the dis
patch came one or two days earlier
they would have been able to complete
the arrangements and would therefore
have telegraphed an Affirmative reply.
A friend who keeps posted hands us
the following:
The third, and last Of the series Of
three games of base ball, between the
ssMorehouse Buffers and the Ham
burg, Ark, club, resulted in defeat
for the Hamburgers, but by only one
round, the score standing 10 to Is.
This is excellent playing and shows
conclusively that both mines are well
matched.
