Costello was spectator. and the cow
had no sooner finished with Johnson
when she made lunge for Costello,
one of her short horns penetrating his
groin at least four inches. The en-
ragged animal then started after young
man and drove him into the cellar way
leading to w. G. Hollis bakery. All
efforts to approach the beast were I'M

man in the cellar way until several
shots from revolver ended her career.
