CAN STOCK RUN At LARGE?
Although this question mas been
answered several times by the indie.
pendent to the best Of our ability, we
have received so many inquiries late
lily tnat we feel that we should give
the facts once more just as they ar.
The question cannot be answered
positively, because the matter. was
settled rather indefinitely. When w.
c. Fabrick was auditor of Ward coun-
ty, the commissioners decided to
allow the people to vote upon this
subject. Mr.. FaIbrick prepared the
copy for the ballots which read thus:
For abolishment of herd law"
against" adjustment of nerd law"
Now this was a very foolish thing
to do, because there was no inten-
ton of abolishing the herd law en-
tirely, because there should be such
law or not. What Mr.. Fabrick !
should have done was to have prepar- |
ed mis- ballot something like this. i
"For stock running at large"
Against stock running at large"
The question when submitted to
a vote, was carried by big majority
in favor of "abolishing the herd law.
No test case has ever been made,
though the Independent believes that |
the Supreme court would decide that |
the people really meant for stock
not to run at large and would very
likely construe it as such. The In
dependent certainly would advise
everybody to place certain restric-
tons upon their stock running at
large, for if you do not, and any
damage is done, you will probably

NOT so BAD.
