The city council met Monday
night and passed an ordinance
prohibiting cows from running at
large within the city limits. The
ordinance becomes effective Janu-
airy 1st, 1912. Good. The REGIS
TER has made a long and uphill
fight for this legislation and we
are much gratified at the outcome.
And we truly believe that after
the ordinance has been in effect
six months everybody will be in
favor thereof.
Why didn't the good DR.. Swift
publish that other letter from j.
M. Hays of the American Audit
& Bond Co? He had it in type,
all ready for the paper. But he
didn't publish it. Why not? Has
his heart failed him in the good
cause? 1t is intimated that the
filing of the libel suit deferred the
good doctor. Surely not. Print
the letter in full, doctor, and heed
not the consequences. Yours is a
righteous and holy cause.
Andrew Stretchneck, a Hun
garian boy sixteen years of age,
living with his parents at Pilot
Knob, shot off his foot while out

was walking along, it seems, with
the muzzle Of the gun pointed to-

way or other, the weapon was dis
charged, and about all of the
right foot, except the heel, was
torn away. More evidence of the
mistake OF letting a boy have fire
arms.
For several months past the
Bank of Pennington has been
supplying the funds to cash Iron
county warrants that were pro-
tested by the Treasurer. This
week, however, the bank officers
notified the officials that they
would not take any more of the
paper on the grounds that there
was no money in the transaction,
or not enough to make it profit
able. Unless some arrangements
are made for cashing them the
warrants will likely be below par
soon. The Bank of Pennington
has about $4,000 OF the county
paper.
