EDITORS NEWS articles have

cow ordinance recently passed by the city
council.
By experience know it is very pleas
ant thing indeed to have the cows come
up on the sidewalk and break out boards
then have the street commissioner come
along and put them in and We who own
no cows settle the bill.
Then, when farmers come to town and
place groceries and merchandise in their
wagons, preparatory to starting home, l
should think 'twould give them a remark

stretch her head over and make a meal
off of the provisions, and also probably
tho dinner brought along for their horses

in our streets, and are occurring every
day.

years, and during that time have been

trees, and yet without success.
am often asked by strangers why we
don't have trees along our streets. tell
them the cows break them down. The
next question invariably is, "Why don't
you have an ordinance to prohibit them
from running at large?" Now we have
the ordinance and the way is opened by
which our streets may be beautified and

Our councilmen are all honorable men
who stand high in community, and also
are among the best business men, and

stamina not to be frightened by such non

Now, let us stand by our council, as
believe they will stand by this just Ordi

Monday 10 James Patterson, yard mas
ter on the A, T. s. S. F., he being SO Sc
verely injured as TO probably necessitate
the amputatiOn of his leg. Mr. Patter-
son was on the top of freight ear being
run by the switch engine on 10 the side
track next to DR.. ArmOr's building. As
the car came in contact with one already
standing there, he in some way lost his
balance and fell between them, vainly
striving to recover himself. by catching
hold of the brake-rOd. In trying 10 ex-
tricate himself from his position his
foot was caught under the wheel of
one OF the cars, which running over
1t mashed It terribly, producing com
pound fracture just above the ankle.
He called for help, and several persons
rushed TO the scene. He had pulled of
Windsor Hotel, where Dr. Jacobs was
called and examined his injuries. He
was then taken TO his hOme-w hich is in
the southeast part of town, near The rail
road track The wounded man bore up
under the pain heroically, remarking
when speaking of The number Of the
car-lI59--that "he should remember
that as long as he lived" The doctor
pronounced it almost impossible TO save
his leg. and, as just stated, its smpula-
ton will probably be necessary. Mr..
Palteron's family consists of wife and
child, 10 whom. as we'll ~ to himself,
the sympathy of the community is ex-
tended.

The Cow Ordinance.

The weather is likely to warm up 10
business ere long. and We trust the cow
question will keep cool. We published ii
communication for the COW side of the
question Saturday, which breathed dire
vengence on the devoted heads of the
members of the city council, and threat
ened them with retirement to the walks
of private lite unless they "take II back, )"
also intimating that even his or her
temperance principles were thrown in
favor of the liberty Of the innocent
COW. He or she would see the streets
run with whiakey for free cows, and
denominated the COW ordinance an out,
rage.
Monday a second warder came TO the
rescue for the female bOvines, not quite
so tiercely as Saturdays correspondent,
1t is true, but with no uncertain sound.
We regret that the author casts a slur ON
our excellent milk men.
These folks must not forget that there
are two sides to this question, and that
there are those, not rich and not the
favored few" and who also have COWS,
and have passed as people of average
intelligence, who believe the pas sage of
the cow ordinance is the most sensible
thing the city council has done for
many long day. Now We suppose no
one who is ut for the Office of council is
going 10 be frightened much by threats
that they can't get the COW votes for
Office. So far as our observation goes
the Office is not one TO be greatly desired.
