Sale Of Shays.


The first actual test Of the law pass.
led by the late legislature in reference
to cattle running at large in certain
parts Of Marion county was brought to
the attention of U. G. Boyer, county
clerk, when he received s2s.!5 from
viii Dreher, Of Hubbard, with all legal
documents showing that he had com.
piled with the law, after taking up five
stray hogs.
For Mr.. Boyer the test came in refer
enee as to what to do with tho money,
which was paid to him according 10 the
recent law. Upon looking over the
laws passed in 1918 he found that any
money so paid to him must be at once
turned over to the county treasurer.
No cattle, horses, mules, sheep, goats
or hogs are allowed to run at large In
Marion county excepting in certain pO..
tions in the southeastern part, In tha,
section running north from Mehama .a
a point about six miles~east of Silver,
ton and thence TO Butte creek and
along the creek 10 the southeastern part
Of the county. +
Tne law became effective Nay 90
On june Mr.. Dreher found five shoats
Of about rs pounds each running at
large over his place. He posted three
estray notices on that day and five
days later, complying with the law, he
gave notice by legal posters in three
places near his farm that on JuEe II
he would sell at the Carl Hutter Farm
one.half mile north Of Hubbard, the
five shoats taken up as strays, comply.
ing in every way with the law.
The sale was held according to law
and the five shoats we're bought by y
Marx for $46.50. Then Mr.. Drehei
made out his bill as provided in the
same law, wherein he was allowed q
cents day for each shoat for the Il
days he had them before the legal sal,
could be made. This bill amounted Il
$i6 aud the publishing Of notices cOsl
s2.s5, making a total Of $1s.s5 incurred
j Dedneting this expense from ihI
1860 received for the shoats, Mr.. Dire
her brought to the county clerk The bal
auee, s2S15, and this amount is nov
deposited with the county treasurer.
Should the owner of the shoats hap
pen to want possession Of his property
he may legally tender Mr.. Marx the
amount he paid at the sale, plus rea
son able amount. for the keeping of same
and also ten per cent on the 1850 pait
out by Mr.. Marx. He would also b,
entitled, on making proof to the county
court that the skoats were his property

on rendering so cents day for IN,
keeping Of each head Of cattle, horses OF
mules and 25 cents day for eacl
sheep, hog or goat, together with th'
cost of the publication Of the notices.
