The names OF the lost sisters are
Catherine Trea, aged %, New York

20, an invalid, and Elizabeth Urea,
aged Is years.
The young women we're returning

At the little home where Sister Trea
lives in South Omaha she waited pa

authorities win see to II that the bodies

Opposing Barbed Wire Fences.

Jackson county has declare d
var on barbed wire. Farmers
and others in that quarter beliey e
that such an inhumane utenSll
as a wire with prickers has no
fightful place outside a Euro
pean battlefield. Certainly, it is
no nice way to treat law-abidirg
live stock to string deadly barbs
across its path.
So delegation of Jacksonians
has asked Representative Hoy to
introduce bill in the Ohio as
s.mbly to prohibit the use Of
wire. He is reported as consid-
erlng.
Barbed wire came In when
rails went out as the most popu-
lar material for country fences.
The barbs were supposed To en-
courage in savage breasts a high
er respect for property rights
and boundaries. One encounter
with such a fence was supposed
y sufficient to convince the most
obdurate horse or cow that a
fence was something more than
a mere academic expression of
opinion on the part of the
builder.
But barbs are not popular as
they started out to be. A good
many farmers are convinced that
they inf1ict unnecessary injury
and accomplish no good that
smooth wire cannot accomplish.
There is a humanitarian motive
behind the Jackson county sug-
gestion, and it would not be SUR
prising to see some favorable ao-
ton in the Legislature.
