BLAINE VETOES BAR ON
ROOSTER AND CAT FIGHTS

MADISON, Wis, May 9.-Gover-
nor John J. Blaine came to the de-
fense of owners of barnyard roosters
and family cats and dogs when he
vetoed a bill which would have
provided penalties for any per-
mitting birds or animals to fight.
The bill primarily was intended to
end the holding of rodeos.
THE hackers of this bill must be
entirely unfamiliar with the barn-
yard Governor Blaine declared.
Under its provisions farmer who
raises roosters-they tmay not bc
game cocks, they may be only single
comb white Wyandottes and prob
ably another brood of black Min
orcas-is punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment if he permits the roosters
to engage in their lifelong struggle.
1.-The innocent owner of midnight
prowling cats not only is to be an
moved by their walls, but if he
knows they are fighting and per-
mits the fight to go on, ne may
be seized and thrown into Jail unless
he has the temerity to pile out of
bed and stop the fight"
