THE LAwoR THEsHoTGuN, WHICH.

Editor Weekly Herald:
The citizens of this city are beeom-
ing much ANNOYED and damaged. by
cows and horses, tramping over their
pavements and destroying ornamental
trees and grass. In the west end of
Martinsburg the matter has become a
regular nuisance. Every night from
two to six horses and cows. parade
up and down the pavements, pushing
open gates. eating young trees, and
nipping grass over the iron fencing.
Sleep is out of the question, and unless
these annoyances are discontinued,
shot guns will do the work which our
police seem unable to do. Complaints
at headquarters amount to nothing.
Not an arrest is made in one out of
twenty cases. If the citizen cannot be
protected, after due complaint he
will protect his property as he deems
best. 1t is shame and an outrage
that cows and horses should be per-
mitted to roam about the streets of so
large CITY as Martinsburg, damag-
ing property and annoying property
owners. The law is plain. and we
call the attention of the owners of
these cows and horses, as well as
police officers to it. 1t will be found
in Sec. 40 of chapter 10 of the Laws
of the Corporation of Martinsburg,
viz:
"That it shall be deemed nuisance
for any horse, COW. pig, goat or
goose to run at large ON any street,
alley, common or public square with
in the Corporation limits of this
town. and any person owning any
horse. COW. hog, pig. goat or goose,
and permitting the same to run at
large, shall forfeit and pay fine of
not less than one nor more than five
dollars, and in case of second offense
against the provisions of this section,
by the owners of such animals, the
same may be seized and sold by any
town sergeant, after twenty-four
hours notice, posted at the market
House of such intended sale, who
shall pay over the proceeds of such
sale, after first deducting fine costs
and expenses, to the owner of the
same - There is the law-plain and
adequate. Take .,otice of it, Messrs.
owners and policemen. Enforce it,
or the taxpayers and person who are
daily and nightly annoyed by these
animals will know why. People will
not tolerate this nuisace any longer,
when they see their property damaged
and destroyed. Either the law, or
the shot gun must act.

BOYCOTT THREATENED.

OF recent months it appears TO have
become the custom here to arrest ma
rine il he shows his face. or presents his
uniform to view. Complaint has been
made by officers in charge. who have
grown desperate at the uncalled for treat
ment OF their men under ordinary circnm-
stances, and who threaten TO boycott
the city by the withdrawal of supplies
formerly purchased here If some action
is not taken in the matter.
The fees from fines obtained from ar
rest and the reward for each marine re-
turned to the proper authorizes subse-
quently, is a matter of no little moment.
There are $50 marines quartered here.
Each of these receive SIS per month.
and most OF that, aggregatlng about S.
ago, is spent in Annapolis. Add to this
the Is cents per day allowed each man
for rations, which are procured from the
butcher. the baker and the grocer OF An
napolis, and it does not take long TO be
convinced that at least Sc. 600 per month
is put into the Golfers OF the town mer-
chants from this body of would-be de-
spised men.
Major Karmany can easily take this
sc, 900 out OF the town, and he may
do it il his men are not treated fairly
and justly by those in authority here.
The Major says he has turned $50 ma
rines loose in Baltimore, and there has
not been single arrest. II the men
were seen on the streets intoxicated they
were told to "move on. and not collar
ed and marched off to lookup, where,
in default OF fines. they subsequently,
served 80 days or more in Jail. 1t is
understood Major Karmany will present
the matter to the City Council, and ask
that something be done to prevent his
men being arrested for the most trivial
offenses.
