to attend service at the church where Mr.
Gladstone usually reads the lesson. Mr..
Bailey, who shot the beast, was not aware
at the time that it had attacked Mr.. Glad
stone-much to his subsequent sorrow
for not until it had been skinned and cut
MP and sent to Chester did he learn from
the papers, with the rest of the village.
what a treasure he had parted with"
He had been sent for to shoot the animal
because it was reported by the game
keeper in the park to be quite mad and
unapproachable, having during the day
knocked down and badly used up some one
crossing the park, this being the individual
who got into the newspaper accounts as
an NJ. p.
It was nearly dark when the animal was
discovered lying in patch Of tall ferns,
with only the top Of its head visible. A
bullet high IN the forehead sVunn.a u,
then another behind the shoulder SC,
it. It was hauled away, and u butte
who had purchased it from the own,
Paul Jones, sent it up to Chester. Z
soon as Bailey discovered the inner facts
concerning the cow he made for Chester
post haste to secure the horns. which had
been promised him. He was so lucky as
to get the hide as well, and with his booty
in bag he dropped into saloon.
There were a couple of cattle dealers in
there at the time. When he told them
what he had one Of them asked what he
just given two guineas he said he would
take flyer. Done" said the other party
instantly, and he was minus the hoofs and
hide 4 ,,yov, him ut thot instant
what there might have been IN the animal
as a speculation. While they were talk
ing another old party who had heard the
conversation slipped out. and running to
the butchers shop near by bought the jaw
bone and lower teeth. This was followed
by a general stampede, and in an incredibly
short time every pound of meat and bone
in that heifef had been bought and held
for speculation. Mr.. Thompson, q cattle
dealer living at DENLY, the purchaser Of
the hide, bought out the others, and is now
the proud possessor of the hoofs, tail, skin
and the calf which the heifer left to inherit
her fame. He desired to have the animal
stuffed to send to the Worlds fair along
with her calf, but as no offer of filthy lucre
will induce Mr.. Bailey to part with the
horns and the skin of the face it is proba-
BILE that the calf will be obliged to 60 with
out his mammals stuffed remains.
Says visitor to the scene Of the trouble:
Accompanied by Mr.. Herbert Gladstone

which for centuries has turned the wheels
of the historic old Glynne mill, and climb
ing the slope beyond came out upon IN
open hilltop covered with high and dense
clumps of furze. The path here skirted
the furze on one side and the hill inclined
sharply on the other, the boughs of the
great oak behind which Mr.. Gladstone
took shelter nearly touching the ground
close by. ThereSwas q deep swath tram.
pied in the furze where the beast had lain
some four or five feet from the path.
