which was fastened to her neck, and drag
ged behind. To prevent further damage,
the COW was picketed ont and cared for,
but no owner came to claim her. The
third morning she was gone, and the very
natural conclusion is that the owner pre-
ferred to take her under cover of darkness
for fear there might be some damages to
pay: Such a small person is not to be en-
We'd.
