The City of Fitzgerald,
Judge Roberts has granted a
restraining order restraining
the city of Fitzgerald from im
pounding the cattle from the out
side of the city. The papers
were served on Mayor Wilson,
by Sheriff Mcllnnis, yesterday.
' The plaintiffs, Mr. William
Fletcher and several of his
neighbors who hav: cattle on the
ranges near the city, are repre
sented by McDonald and Quin
cey. The case will be heard at‘
Irwiaville, Wednesday, 26th inst.
The effect of the temporary
order will not be so disastrous
as it at first might appear, as
under the present arrzngement,
the poundmaster is supposed to
drive away approaching cattle.
He is mounted, and can easily‘
protect the city against cattle.
The mayor and the people arel
back of him, and determined to
keep the streets clear of cattle
until the case is heard.
The Enterprise very much re
grets the case., It must be ade
mitted that we are entitled to
regulate such matters within the
limits of the city, and if the
present charter does not au
thorize the present ordinance on
that subject, (we think it does,)
of course it will be so amended
that it will, and no possible good
can come of the suit,
The Enterprise has been con
sistently on the farmers’ side of
this question in the manner of
enforcing the ordinance. We
have insisted upon the utmost re
gard for the rights of our neigh
bors in impounding cattle from
outside the city., We havz be
lieved and insisted that it would
be better in many instances to
drive the cattle away rather
than to drive them’ into the
pound, at th 2 same time we have
realized that the ordinance must
be enforced,
That ‘we are .entitled to ex
clude cattle from our streets the
same as other cities,” no sane
man will deny. {
.. To the People. ‘
There will be a citizens’ meet
ing at the gymnasium Monday
evening next, to transact import
ant business relative to the dis
position of the gymnasium appa
ratus.
~ All citizens urged to be pres
‘ent. Earl Ward Pearce.
