IMPORTANT DECISION HANDED DOWN IN
THE UNION COUNTY CASE oFBAR-
BER VIZ. MENsCr.

Arecent decision was handed down
from the supreme court in regard TO
the question of line fences that is of
Importance to every land owner.
The following is the substance of
the decision:
1t has been held by many eminent
lawyers that when the fence law of
1900 with regard to outside fences
was repealed in 1889, that the act of
1912, which required the erection of
line or partition fences. not being
specified in the act, continued to re-
main a law. On the other hand law
yers Of high standing claimed that
the act Of lsi2 was repealed by i'm
plication when the act of 100 was
removed from the statute books.
But Judge Mcclure held that the
law OF 1912 is valid and Judge Dean
has sustained him in this view, the
point of difference being where tho
Supreme Court held that in the case
of Barber VS.. Mensch. that the de-
fendant should have seen that there
was sufficient fencing to keep in his
own cattle Notwithstanding the
fact that there had existed between
the htigants an agreement for each
to keep up one-half of the fence.
Hereafter then, according to Judge
Deans decision, n man who wishes
to pasture cattle must see that the
whole partition or line fence is sufii.
cient to keep his cattle on his own
premises, with the right to recover
one-half of the costs of the fence
from his adioiner. In other words.
the Supreme Court holds that all
agreements between parties for the
maintenanoa of one-half by each will
not stand, and that the man who
wishes to pasture his cattle must soc
to it that they do not damage his ad-
joiner. In cases where you have al
ready built your half under nm agree
ment your only remedy against your
adJolner who refuses to build his
half is to construct the fence and
then put viewers on under the act
of l742 to recover the cost of your
adioiner's half.

A few days ago two Frenchmen,

best trained animal of the kind we

exhibitors we're the most persistent

danced the "Dey-dete-dey. .dete- dun

was surprising. To the command,

though he had the strength to settle
it in the first round by tearing his
antagonist limb for limb.
From here they travelled north.
and the next we hear of them is

another exhibition. In the tussle
the Frenchman accidently got his
ear through the muzzle on the bears
nose, and bruin seizing the oppor-

keeled over and yelled with pain.
His partner thrashed the bear off,
and DIR. Purman amputated that

Our Democratic cotemporaries are
making a weak effort to create an IN,
terest in the campaign in this county
this year. We sympathize with them,
for we realize that they are espous-
ing n hopeless cause. When the Re
publican party makes n mistake in
its nominations it opens the portals
to the Democrats and invites fight.
but this year it has not extended
any such an opportunity, and the
chances of the Demmies are hope
less, for our party is united on its
nomination and its lines are impene-
trable as squadron of the Old
Guard. Brethren, give your readers
news and don't waste your ink and
paper and worry your brains in the
hope of diverting the course of a
