Owner Liable For
Damage By Chickens

For the first time in the history
of Kentucky. the Court OF APP
peals. III the recent case OF Adj
ans Bros. VS.. Clark, declared the
chicken law of the state. The
court holds in substance that the
owner of trespassing chickens is
liable for damage done by them
and that it is the duty. under the
law, OF every owner to take care
Of his or her chickens and pre-
vent them from treSPassing and
damaging a neiShbor. - Among
other things in the very interest
ing opinion delivered in the case,
the court said:
1T is natural propensity of
domestic fowls to rove. and doing
so. to wholly disregard property
I lines and even fences. This pro-
pensitv is we'll known to all own
ers and when an owner with this
+ knowledge allows his fowls to
run at large To the injury of his
ncighbors he is a WrOn@-doer and
is liable for treSpaSS. even IN the
absence of a statute or ordinance

FAMOUS NATURALIST
JOHN BURROUGHS DEAD
Continued from 1st Page)


John Burroughs was the ven
cradle dean of nature-writer il
the United States. Through {
score of books he shared will
countless readers his lifelong in.
tlmacy with birds. bees, flowers
and the whole Out-Of-dOors. His
highly developed powers of obser-
Walton and the charm of his in
terpretations were the marvel OF
his critics.
His flowing white beard, his
kindly nrien, his whole habit OF
life, and his literary style were
rather reminiscent of that famous
New England school of essayists
a generation or two before him.
His early writing on Express
sion" was at one time widely mis-
taken for the work of Emerson,
a close reader Of whom Bur
roughs had been from youth. His
later works on nature suggested
something of Thoreau. but as the
critics said, Burroughs was the
more soCiable writer.
He learned to love nature when
he drove COWS at his birth place
farm, RoXbury, among the Cat
skills, in New York state, but
anything like a literary compost
ton was q bugbear to him as a
youth. The story is told of how
when he was fourteen. in common
with the members of his class at
school. he was required to write
twelve lines of original compost
ton. He copied something out of
a comic almanac. His theft was
detected. Again in desperation
upon his second trial he paid Jay
Gould, his class mate. sixty cents
for a tWclve-line verse which he
handed in as his own.
He was born in 1887. In 1868
he went to Washington with
something OF an inclination to
enlist i'll the Union army, but de-
cided to seek 4 government office.
it Is related that with only few
OF his poems as credentials he
walked into the treasury depart
ment and asked for 4 job. 1t was
agreed that his vernal verse real
