The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1878-08-27

Glue arrested, and he was held In securi-
ty to answer charge Of petit larceny.
McGlue was furious. He got Poddery
to open out new suit, based upon the
fact that Rollins COW had scared one of
his children into fits, injuring the child's
constitution, and involving large ex-
penditpres for medical attendance. But
just as the constable was going TO serve
the notice, Rollins came in, and swore
out fresh process against McGlue for
damages done to the COW by McGlue's
setter pup biting her in the rear hind
leg, just above the ankle.
Poddery then told McGlue that the
time had come for decisive action; that,
unless justice was mockery, and hu-
man rights q hollow sham, he must
settle this man Rollins at once. So
McGlue ordered new suit against Rol-
lins for destruction of his property in
permitting his COW to rub the whitewash
off of the corner of McGlue's pig-sty
and McGlue said he would carry the
case to the Supreme Court If it should
be necessary.
Rollins met this assault by putting in
demand for compensation for the hair
lost by his COW by coming into collision
with McGlue's pig sty ; and, at the sug-
gestion of Lawyer Hopkins, he added a
sworn item, in which he showed that
the digestion of the COW had been per-
manently ruined by the latch of the

off, when the COW nibbled it, and it was
swallowed.
When McGlue called to ask Poddery
what should be done now, that eminent
lawyer was out buying house with the
fees that had already accrued from the
great cow-case. Hopkins, at that mo-
ment, was paying off an old mortgage
with his fees.
When Poddery came in, he said that
things had now reached crisis. Nc
Clues clear duty was to throw himself
upon his country, and to stamp out this
fiend who was pursuing him with ma
lignant fury.
After talking 1t over for an hour, Pod
derry took out the papers in another suit
in which McGlue accused Rollins of
breach of the peace in permitting his
COW to wake Mrs. McGlue's baby, in
the very crisis of the mumps, by it's
moooing; - and still another, in which
McGlue claimed compensation for the
brick which he heaved at the COW, and
for the manual labor expended in the
effort. tt
Rollins retaliated by arresting McGlue
for corrupting the morals of Rollins
boy, Jim, by the use of profane and
scandalous language while he was striv-
ing to eject the COW. f51 5.a
AS soon as McGlue entered bail, he
told the squire that he would call in the
morning to enter suit against Rollins
for permitting his COW to butt down Nc
Clues pig-sty.
Rollins overheard him, and at once
made an affidavit, stating that the shock
of the encounter with the pig-sty had
given the COW brain-fever, and so de-
ranged her mind, and unstrung her
nervous system, that she was now in
hill, tail foremost, in such manner as
to excite general derision.
The two suitors left the squire's office
together. AS they passed through the
doorway, Rollins jostled McGlue's ell
bow. McGlue jostled back again, and
Rollins struck him. They clinched.
1t was an awful combat, and each was
taken home on shutter, and put to
bed.
A week later, friends brought them
together, and made up the quarrel, and
the suits were all withdrawn.
A fortnight afterward. Poddery dis
trained McGlue for his fees, and lefthim
an empty house
On the same day, Hopkins sold Rol-
Inns out, COW and all and he had to be.
gin the world clear over again.
Both of them think they will be
calmer when they have another cow
case. tIs
