calculated 60 present a iair trial In tn,
original county or district.
Tue Kendall substitute was lost, and th .
question recurring on the motion 10 htrike
out section 2 of the bill, IL was stricken out
by n vote oi ~ To q.
Section I, the emergency clause, was
made section 2, aud adopted.
Foster moved to strike out section ! and
insert a substitute therefor. lie said IL was
not unlikely the house would be called on
10 consider n bill under which pasture
owner could take his gun TO protect his
pasture. The state should stand between
tue property owner aud any man VINO
would destroy his property; any man VINO
has paid bis taxes should be protected, ana
We should not allow one man any higher
privileges IN taking the law into his hnnrs
| than another. The man who cuts wire,
even on school section which
does not belong to him under
this bill, " made lelon, but the pasture
man who II enclosed is TO be allowed TO
cut lis way out of lands OF the same kind.
llo was opposed tn such measures ~ were
calculated 10 multiply excuses Tor homi'
cldes.
The Foster amendment provides that any
person who Bnaii wantOuly aud wiiluly
cut or destroy any lencp, whether lawful
ience or noe, on land not his own, oron
land owned or legally controlled by the
person rnciroliug IT, shall be deemed
guilty OF felony, aud subject 20
. years Ia the penitentiary; but 1.-THE
lence'cutter destroyed ieuoe in on o. !
around public land not owned or controlled |
by the party enclosing, the oilsnse shall be
deemed a misdemeauor, subject TO u fine In |
double the amount OF the property destroy
ud. IL further defines what shall constitute |
lawful fence, as in existing laws.
Wuizba spoke In support OF the amend
ment, aud van and ID D)uglas againstit.
Foster, OF GrdysoD, argued tnat tue sub
stitute would render the objects oil the OH
and OF his session of the legislature nuga-
tory as 10 providing remedies for the evils
complained Of AS to illegal enclosures,
Ae argued tnat 1t was in some respects un-
tar aud impraGtcsble IN lis operations, rs
the ieuc9 cutter cOud not be resclod or
did not care for iino aud double th.
value OF the properly destroyed
which would amount practically
ior 10 nsra Dn'5 section Of s the lenco when @
was cut. lie argued that tho true remsdy
was no. 10 JUSTLY the cutting OF fences
under any circumstances, and tn pass alaV
tnat would be a terror TO any man cutting
fences ON property which does NO, belong
to him.
Brrwhing spoke in a similar line oi
argumen The Law should apply
to cutting fences around pu5hc
and private and.
II 2ewOod spoke In Ike line OF argu'
menJ with hr. Browning and with dra-
matte elect against the amenulnvut OF tJs-
ter OF Limestone.
