| day he left not a word has been heard

Mrs. S. r. Fankboner was seriously in
| jured by Infatuated COW. For a few
| days the COW has been kept away from
| her calf and has been very uneasy. Aft
| er all the men had left the house, Mrs.
! Fankboner went out alone to see how the
COW was getting along. No sooner had
she stepped into the yard Enclosure than
| the COW ran at her and hooked her, catch
| ing the horn under Mrs. Fankboner's
| basque and tossing her into the air. She
| fell on her side, and before she could re-
| cover herself to get up the cow was on
| her, with her front knees resting on her
| stomach and chest. The COW attempted
to gore Mrs. Fankboner in the face, and
| the force of blow from one of the horns
| broke the cheek bone. Her face was
| bruised and scratched. Her limbs are also
| badly bruised where the Infatuated COW
| tramped and stamped on her. Mrs. Fank-
boner called loudly and her daughters
| heard her and helped her into the house.

Senator w. S. Haggard returned yester-
| day from hasty trip through Wisconsin.
| where he visited the soldiers homes at
| Waupaca and Milwaukee. The object of
the visit was to secure data in regard to
| the homes to be used in the laudable effort
| that will be made in the coming legisla-
| ture to secure state assistance in building
| up the proposed home the West Side.
| Mr. Haggard is deeply interested in the
| matter and has devoted considerable time
! in preparing for a vigorous campaign. At
| Waupaca and Milwaukee he was treated
| with great consideration and every fact
| or pertinent point that bore on the ques-
ton was freely furnished. On Dec 10 a
national conference of superintendent of
| soldiers homes will be held in Milwaukee,
| and Mr.. Haggard has been urged to at
| tend. While the Journal differs with Mr..
! Haggard on many points it admires the
pertinacity and vim with which he is
! working up the soldiers home, and hopes
| that success will crown his efforts in this
laudable and patriotic purpose Of building
state home for the boys of '61-65.-La-
