On Oct. 9th, the most remarkable case of
all invoked the dispensation of justice At
the instigation of George c. Hitchcock, it is
said, Frank Grant was arrested for removing
his own cow frou one pasture field to another
and charged with the odious crime of theft, in
fact, accused of stealing his own COW! 1t is
hard to understand how a man can steal his
own cow. 1t amazes us Almost as much as
that, "a living mass of protoplasm is simply
a molecular machine of great complexity, the
total results of the working of which, or it's
vital phenomenon, depend, on the one hand.
on its construction, and, on the other, upon
the energy supplied to it." And he who un-
derstands it would be able to add a story to
the Tower of Babel" When the Grand Juror
became aware that the COW belonged to Mr.
Grant it was impossible for him to see how
man could steal his own COW, so he entered a
rsOtSe to the complaint. w. II. O'Hara acted
for the defendant.
