Some of our citizens who live a. little out, complain to us of the way cows are turned loose, or tethered out on other people’s lots, or along the sidewalks, where they not only make themselves a nuisance. but in» terfere with pedestrians. It seems to .us this must be thoughtlessness and if the marshal's attention was called to it the evil, we think,would be remedied. Some owners of va- cant lots are very much stirred up over the matter. Now, neighbors, seek peace and harmony, for the golden rule is still in force here. Pretty respectable vote for the new High School building. Some iguoramus had told the farmers out west there must be a majority of the voters in the district in favor of the school to make it legal. This is the way the statute reads in voting to issue bonds to build or repair school buildings; the directors can do it There was a reported attempt at burglary Tuesday night. and the next day a somewhat seedy, kind of a trump looking fellow applied to Mr. Ackerman for work and while engaged told some of the help he thought Highland Park a queer place as some one fired two or three shots at him while he was going around to the back door to ask for 501119. food.
