The great barb wire controversy was
settled last week, by decision of Judge
Trent in the u. S. circuit court at St.
Louis, against the Washburn & Moen
manufacturing company. This de-
cision taken in connection with some
recent decisions of the U. s. supreme
court on similar questions in other
cases completely settles the question
and will relieve consumers of barbed
wire, a tax or royalty which last year
amounted to between 81, 100000 and
$5,OOO,O00. The Importance Of this
decision can scarcely be over estima-
ted.

through the hail storm, had one of his
horses badly bruised on the head by a
hail stone. The flesh was laid open to
