vigorous measures, which some affect to
believe means lynching of thugs when
caught, while others take the stand that

NO CITY POUND
In the circuit court yesterday afternoon
in tha case of C. C. Frasier vs Ed Hard
ing, city pound master, the court held that
owing to tha fact that the supposed city
pound was not designated as per the city
charter, legally the city did not have a
pound and took the case away from the
jury and directed it to bring in a verdict
for the plaintiff and for $90 damages.
The cause of action was based on the fact
that the city impounded several head of
horses, the property of Mr. Frasier.
As a result of having no pound, Pound
master Harding today filed complaint
against Peter Jacobs, James Ireland and
W. K. Davis under the city ordinances for
permitting stock to run at large. This is
more expensive than the former system
and owners of stock will av trouble by
keeping their stock up.
