three months. The COW was found to have
taken up her abode i'll Mr.. Vests woods and
he let out some of his cattle in order to en-
tice the stray cow. The rus succeeded and
she was induced to enter the field with them.
Every Imaginable stratagem was then en-
ployed to get the COW into the barn; hay and
grain were placed outside, which induced her
TO come nearer the buildings, and finally af-
ter a number of days she entered the barn
Mr.. Eben West followed her in and shut the
door very quickly He then went around
and entered the door leading into the barn
floor, when the COW made dash at him and
chased him to the door, which he had barely
time to pass through an close upon the in
furiated animal. He ventured to take peep
occasionally at her. while considering what
to do to further secure her, but when he so
ventured she had such very angry appear

Nothing daunted. however, at the next trial

Mr.. West was in the tie-up holding on to the
other end of the rope. His son then descend
ed and endeavored to pass rope around her
neck and hitch her to a post in the barn
floor, but she gave desperate jump and
broke away. She made terrific dash at him,
but he rushed around and finally escaped
the maddened animal. The senior Mr.. West
