Much Stock Killed
By r. Il. Comparies

Greenwood, Miss, May 2, 1919.
To The Commonwealth:
Were it not for the fact that the
urgency is so great, we would not
presume to undertake to cell attention
through the columns of your paper,
to the great amount of stock that is
now being killed by the two railroads
operating in this County.
It has become the popular thing to
do, in certain sections of the County,
to pasture stock on the right of way
of the railroad companies, and as a
result, an enormous amount of stock
IN being killed, and of course, a great
many claims for damages, are being
presented.
The damage has become so great,
that it is now alarming, and for this
reason, we apologize for calling at
tention to this fact.
To illustrate, on the Memphis Divi-
sion Of the Y. & M. v. Railroad Com
pany, in the past three months, 298
head OF stock were killed, valued at
$22,383.85.
Aside from the loss of stock to the
owner, and the resultant damages to
the Railroad Company, there is the
added danger to passengers by eason
of the derailment Of trains in strik-
ing this stock.
The stock law is in force in every
section of this County, through which
both railroads operate, and both COM
panies would be justified in taking
up the stock and impounding all stock
t-espassing on the right of way,
which, If done, would result in con-
siderable expense and Inconvenience
to the owners Of the stock, but the
companies prefer not to do this. bat
hope that in the {uturs the lland-ow9-
