The town of Marine, adjoining this
city, is in an uproar over the local situa-
ton regarding the herd law. In 1885
the legislature passed an act prohibit
ing cattle from running at large in
/ WashlngtOn county, and compliance
: with its provisions caused farmers much
: trouble and expense in the town of
/ Marine, as not one in twenty of the in
habltantS was prepared for it. All
! have now, however, fenced in enclos-
/ ures for their cattle, but, of course,
have allowed fences about their corn
and wheat fields to be removed OF fall
into decay, there being no need of them
while all cattle were under restraint;
and it is claimed that not one man in
six is able at present to rebuild fences
about his farm. But now it is claimed
that through the influence of what is
termed up there disturbing element
in the town, the Washington county
legislative delegation has secured the
repeal of the law, and that consequent
ly the farmers are in still worse con-
dltlOn than they were in fOur.yearS ago.
