In regard to cows, ETC., running at
large in this city, case has already
been decided here in favor of the State
law, which prohibits the running at
large of such in cities that have seven
thousand inhabitants or more, and
which law we published in this paper
many months ago. There is no doubt
in our mind that the said law super
cedes any ordinance Of the Common
Council, and that any damage done
by cows either during day or night,
makes their owners responsible, and
damages can be collected if they
are worth it. The nuisance occasion
ed by the running at large of cows
should be stopped.

Of time for Sheriff Henderson to

Bryan, my attorney at Tahlequah,
to see you in person and learn why
it was that Sheriff Henderson had
not obeyed your instructions. He

was free to confess that he did not
understand either of you. Failing
