A Queer Cow Story.

An Astoria (Oregon) paper tells the fol-
lowing story of a remarkable lawsuit
tried in that city lately. 1t seems that
worthy Astorian and his son-in-law joined in
the purchase of cow, each paying $40.
The COW was placed in the father in laws
stable, and be MIXED her and took all the
milk. The demand of the son-in-law for q
share of the milk was refused, and the
young man brought suit in Justice Court
to compel his father-in-law to divide. The
old man refused, alleging that the forward
part of the COW was the young mans, and
consequently he was not entitled to any
share of the milk produced by the hind part.
and moreover he began counter suit for
the value of the feed consumed by the
young mans half Of the COW. About this
time the COW "horned" the old man, and he
began suit to recover damages from his
son-iD-Iaw for injuries inflicted upon him
by the young mans end of the COW. The
Justice, after hearing the testimony, was
all at sea, and stated as there were no pre-
cedents in the matter. he would nave TO take
the matter under consideration.

A CRISIS AT LISBON.
A Heavy Drainage Of Silver and Bad POIit-
cal Situation Responsible.

LISBON. May 1e.-The Lusitano Bank of
this city, which On Friday was reported to
be in difficulty, has long been known to be
in a doubtful condition. The bank did
highly speculative business in underwriting
loans.
1t is probable that the failure of the re-
cent Government loan sapped its resources.
The Government has declined to allow the
bank delay Of six months to liquidate,
but has referred it to the Tribunal
of Commerce. 1t is estimated that silver
TO the value of S1,2500OO was Withdrawn
from Lisbon banks Friday and Saturday.
Troops keep order at the DOORS AT the
leading banks bills are readily discounted
at Z to 71a per cent.
The crisis is due to the bad political and
financial situation. The fall Of exchange on
Brazil and fears OF a revolution in Portugal
have locked up capital, paralyZed trade,
caused labor crisis and have opened the
markets to German competition. Unless
means can be found to unlock capital, re-
suits will be serious
