CHICAGO'S GREEN FIELDS
Held Sacred From tho Browsing of Herds
of Cattle.

CHICAGO, July 26.-Morris Ryan, Dan.
iel Beckham, Edward Billstein and Daniel
Ryan were until a month ago wealthy dairy
farmers, whose fat milch cows pastured on
the extensive prairie lands of Jefferson.
They are still dairy farmers, but their past.
ures and their cows have been annexed to
the city of Chicago and have come under
the provisions OF its municipal code, one
section Of which ordains that no one shall
keep herd of more than three cows within
the city limits.
The farmers failed to appreciate the
majesty of the municipal code and each one
continues pasturing his 40 or 30 cows on
valuable Chicago building lots. City Pros
ecutor May got after them for their viola
tons ot the ordinance and they were fined
this morning by a magistrate.
