The stock owners of AIiddlcburgl
and Franklin have formed an in
surance company for protection in
case of loss by death or injury o,
cattle. The stock is appraised at
three-fourth its value which is made
up by assessments. Mr.. Kerstetter
receives S33.25 from the company
for his two head killed on the rail
road last week.
David Kerstetter had two cows
killed on the railroad one day last
week. This adds two more 10 the
long list of cattle killed for our peo.
pie. We think it is about time 70,
our cattle owners to recognize the
naceslty of employing hcrder for
their stock. 1t would hardly come
to nifty cents per month per head.
1t would amount to less than the
average annual loss in cattle. would
be more human, and prevent the
danger of wrccking trains.
H. A. Shuman, of Vimm Antelope
county, Nebraska, n subscriber to
the PosT. writes that on II recent
Saturday he killed rooster and af-
ter the usual process of picking and
cleaning he dumped it into IA crock
which he set in the back porch of his
residence. The next morning he
awoke just III time to see II big wolf
standing aside of the crock ready to
dispute the right of the rooster for
IA Sunday dinner. Mr.. Shuman end
ed the dispute by getting his gun
and shooting the animal dead at his
door.
