Last week a homesteader took up and
%empounded some of the cattle belonging
to T. H. Hayes. claiming DAMAGES of
SIPS to his fax crop. Mr.. Hayes consid-
cred the claim entirely excessive. 10 say
nothing of the fact that Billings county
has the fence law which is supposed to
mean that farmers should fence their
crops. Therefore, the owner of the stock
came to Dickinson last Saturday night
and had replevin papers made and
which were served early this week by
the Billings county authorities. This
places the owner in the position of guar
anteeing any reasonable damage, such
as may be found by any competent court
and at the same, time gives him
charge of his own DrODerty. a..
