NO AGREEMENT ON cows.


The meeting called by the village
council for the purpose OF talking
over the COW question and getting an
agreement out OF the COW owners &c
employ herder failed OF issue and
the village authorities have appointed
a poundmaster to keep the village
free OF cows.
There was very poor response &C
the call, not over half a dozen cattle
men appearing. Those who did APP
pear were SO hopelessly divided on the
subject that it was seen at once there
would be no agreement.
The complaints OF those who did ap-
pear and who opposed the plan was
the reported failure OF some COW own
ers to pay their share OF the expense
last year. Some claimed that they
paid and their neighbors got out OF
paying and all such were very sore
over their alleged treatment, Others
claimed that the scheme was good
one and were willing to go into such
an arrangement again this year. There
were but few OF the latter, however,
80 the village authorities stopped try
ing to make arrangements and set out
70 enforce the caring OF cattle by
their owners. - s~ssA~nsnQ
Alex Peters was appointed pound
master and he has promised to en-
force the ordinance without fear OF
favor. All cattle found running at
large within the village limits will
be impounded.
The village has a pound all ready
10 receive such cattle as fall within
the clutches OF the poundmaster. The
pound is on two vacant lots in the
vicinity OF the Rossi store. 1t is ex
pected that there will be considerable
business at the pound for time until !

that the village authorities mean bust
