Abolish the Law.

We hope the Town Council ut

law prohibiting horses running at
large on the streets, unless they
also pass COW law. We have
seen a number Of ladies and chill.
sl:sn in the past few days trying
to avoid vicious looking COWS. If
they can escape a hooking COW,
they surely can walk around
horse who ~ not half 80 danger
Gus. The law is unjust to owners
of horses, who are compelled to
keep them up day and night aud
pay for feed, when anyone can
own ii COW and let her roam where
she pleases. 1t is cruel to horses
to punish them Ivy keeping them
confined and un.just to the owners.
Many citizens would be glad if the
law was abolished Town Talk.
We are compelled to dissent
from the position assumed by our
neighbor. 1t does not follow, that
because the Council has not Yet
passed a COW ordinance, the horse
ordinance should be repealed. A
horse running at large OIL the streets
Of a town, is Il standing menace to
human life. 1t is but little more
than year since a child was
kicked to death by horse at the
front gate Of his parents.
Cli!dren-yea, even adults of
both sexss-aGe liable to he run
over aud crushed to death at any
time by horses galloping. through
the streets. Several instances
have come under our observation
where serious Injury and perhaps
death in this manner has only
been narrowly avcrted. We DO
not know how soon some OF our
loved ones may be booked to death
by vicious COW, as we under.
stand there are several of this
class in town, whom the ladies and
III tie children seek to avoid in
their street perambulations. Let
the horse ordinance stand. 1t is
serving a useful purpose. A COW
ordinance should also be enacted.
The owners of cows, as we'll as
horses, should be prohibited from
turning them loose upon the
streets, and until it is done, there
is no security for women and chill.

1t may be hardship, but those
who own this kind of property,
must suffer the hardship, for the
benefit of the community at large.
