Mrs. Hanker and a Cow.

From Today's Speaker.
Mrs. George Hanker, of Harleigh,
narrowly escaped being gored to death
by maddened COW yesterday. The
animal strayed into field where Mrs.
Hanker's COW was grazing short
distance from the house. The woman
was engaged in the kitchen when she
discovered the animal in her field. The
dog was sent to drive the animal out of
the field, but Mrs. Hanker seeing that
the dog failed to drive it off, decided to
do it herself.
After getting within the enclosure she
had not advanced very far when the
animal dashed for her. The woman
ran for the gate but she barely reached
it when the infuriated animal caught
her on its horns and tossed her over the
fence. Being unhurt, Mrs. Hanker
again entered the field, determined to
drive the COW from the pasture. When
the cow again caught sight of her red
dress it became wild and raced for the
woman, head down. The latter ran
into house on the opposite side of the
road which was being constructed.
The crazy animal did not stop at the
door, however, but rushed in. The
woman, thoroughly frightened, crouched
into corner beneath the staircase. The
brute was unable to reach her here, but
tramped and tore at the structure which
threatened to give away. Fortunately q
carpenter, who was on the roof at the
time, heard the women's screams in
time to save her life.
