Herd Law Sentiment Vote

Pie~re-Over in Ha ding corn'y.
where the stock interests are yet
largely in the ascendency any move to
bring on a vote On the applicat On O.
the herd law to that county ha e
been met with any thing but favor the
sentiment is evidently not all on che
side. Under tn provision of the law a
county vote could not be secured I'M
til the next general ele tion in 1872.
But the homestead element has be-
come so strong in two townships IN
that county that they have provided
civil organizations for themselves, and
they will try to bring about a st7rt
by voting on the herd proposition in
their townships at the spring elact on
in March. The sentiment is so siren
in these particular townships, that
the question is expected to carry, and
then will come the test to find wheth-
err they can make the results OF their
votes, effective, as the stock-men VIII
hardly accept any such verdict with
out protest, and if they ignor the T.
uation it will beyond doubt mean It'll

lost his life. His clothing became en-
tangled in the shafting stripping al
most every thread Of it from his body.
Workers in an adjoining room heard
the noise and going into the apa t.

table where he had been thrown by
the moving machinery his person be-

unconscious but on being removed to
the hospital it was found that no in
juries of fatal nature had been in
aicted. His escape from death is
miraculous.
