THINGS WENT along peace
fully until 1871. Animals were
allowed to run at large in
both city and county, and
Cowtown residents were happy
with that arrangement.
But a new District admin
istration clamped down on
strays, and Poundmaster Elm
stein went to work. He began
rounding up everything on
four legs.
The Cowtown residents were
as peaceful as anyone else in
the District. They paid their
taxes and went to church, and
would have been Mortified if
anyone suggested they break
q law.
However, they and their
friends and neighbors re-
sented having their animals
hauled away to the pound.
The people inside the city part
of the District were doubly
resentful, because since the
stray animal law applied to
the city, most of the animals
rounded up belonged to those
living inside the city.
They vented their resent
ment on Mr.. Einstein by
throwing bricks and bottles at
him whenever he appeared
which was often.
