OVER A COW.
Poundmaster Voell Has a Spirited En-
counter with william Jordan.

counter With William Jordan.
Great Falls, Aug. 15--The life of the
poundmaster is not one gddy round OF
unalloyed joy as people may suppose,
and Paul Noell, who was recently ap-
pointed by the mayor as poundmaster
extraordinary in, for and to the district
known as Boston Heights, is ready to
make affidavit to this statement at any
time. More than this, he is ready to
exhibit lump on his head the size of
a goose egg as further testimony in his
behalf. On Sunday night Paul caught a
trespassing COW. There have been a
good many complaints from that part
of the city regarding the damages done
by straying horses and cows and each
householder was firm in the faith that
every animal in the neighborhood, saw
ing his own, was in nefarious plot to
destroy the young trees and the lawns
of the Heights. So when Paul found
his first marauder he took her into GUS
tody and gloried in his performance of
duty. As he approached the dwelling
of William Jordan he espied that
worthy burgher of the Heights coming
to meet him. clad in an athletic costume
and bearing in his hands rock and a
club about five feet long. These We're
not the signs of protracted peace and
Paul essayed to speak the words of
reason and logic. He tried to explain
that he was put there to arrest the err
ing COW and the illegally sportive horse,
but the only answer he received was a
swat on the side of the head from the
club.
Then Paul gave battle. He caught
that club and in the first round put it
violently against the Jordan mans
head The latter tried to guard and
he caught another swat in the ribs that
made him feel as if he had just fin
ished thousand road race With
out any intention of fulfilling the scrip
tural injunction he turned the other
side and got it there also Paul was
beginning to take an interest in the
affair and, throwing down the club and
using his fists, he put Jeffries blows all
over the Jordan anatomy. and when he
finished Jordan was asking for the
words Of reason and wisdom offered him
in the first place. He did not feel so
much like a giddy garden goat. But
Paul lost the cow. During the melee
one of the scions Of the house of Jor-
an came around on horseback and
drove the mother of herds within the
enclosure. Still Paul won out, for he
came down town and swore out a war
rant for the arrest of Jordan on the
charge of obstructing an officer in the
discharge of his duty and yesterday
evening the arrest was made and Jor-
dan was given until this morning to re-
cuperate and appear before the court.

the charge of embezzlement of $3.50 the
