CIVIL RIGHTS FOR CHICKENS,

By somewhat unique referendum
the citizens of Cadiz, Trigg county,
have declared against any abridgc-
ment of the civil rights of chickens,
and have extended the freedom Of
the city to hens. BOOSTERS and broil-
ers of high and low breeds, with
covenant Of general warranty.
For some time past the question Of
prohibiting chickens from running
at large in the streets had been dis
cusscd by the board OF counciImen at
Cadiz. A majority of the council
was disposed to favor the passage, of
a prohibitory ordinance, but 1t was
finally decided to submit the issue to
tile voters of the municipality. Or
igtnally It was INTENDED that only
legal voters should be allowed to
vote, but u delegation of women went
before the board, and succeeded in
convincing the Ncouncilmen of the
justice of universal suffrage in the
particular case In point. 1t was then
determined that all persons more
t1an twcnty-one years of age and re-
siding within the corporate limits
should be allowed to vote.
The polls were opened at two
o'clock in the afternoon and closed
at six O'Clock. The white people yot-
ed at the court house and the negroes
at a school house. Tie returns show
conclusively that the colored popu-
lation rallied strongly in the cause
Of chicken liberty, evidently favor
ing more chickens and fewer fences.
The white vote stood los in favor Of
tile prohibitory ordinance and sew
enty-tllree against 1T. One lone col=
ored voter declared in favor OF the
ordinance, while 12g5 of his dusky
fellow citizens voted against It. q
The figures ten their own story.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Two Men Are Fined for Driving Horses
With Sore Shoulders-other
Minor Court Cases.

Three cases in the District court
in which there WAS a contest We're
settled after the attorneys had a
chance to meet each other and Judge
Oliver K. Day adjourned court at
eleven o'clock. Verdicts were given
in two others which were uncontest-
ed. In two of the cases the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails was the complainant and Oliver
Lue and Orlando Black, employed by
J. M. Halt, of Whippany, were de-
fendents. Each pleaded guilty to
driving horse that had sore shoul
er and were fined 81 and the costs of
court which were paid by Mr.. Halt.
John kres, who had also been an en-
ployee of Halt was named in the com
plaint but the case against him was
dismissed. Police Justice Albert H.
Holland represented the society and
Elmer King was the mems attorney.
Harry Head, of Parsippany, was the
complainant in the other case and
asked for $500 wages due him as a
farmland from Mrs. Emily Ross, of
the same place. This case was dis
continued upon the payment of the
costs by the defendent. Matthews &
Webb represented Head and John M,
Nolan, of Jersey City, was the defen-
dents attorney.
A verdict for the plaintiff was givel
in the case of NJ Kellert & Son of
New York, against Frank Gardia, of
Chatham, for $18.22, Guy Minton, at
torney; and the case of ]. William
HIATT against Richard D. Reed, both of
Chatham, for $3S1.08.
