manageable on Grey's Hill. A friendly
wagon being at hand, lie took double
turn of the rope by which lie held her
arc und the wagon wheel. But just as Mrs.
| Maggie Wilson daughter of Joseph Eat
wist!e was passing he let slip his end of the
| rope, when the maddeued COW at the other
end OF it attacked her, tearing her clothing
| and telling her 20 the ground. 1t looked
right ugly for a moment, but Mrs. Wilson
escaped with few bruises which DIR. Bratton
