DRUNKEN COWS IN A FIGHT.

| SanguInary Conflict Takes Place After
Meal on Fermented Cane.
Tne most exciting affair in the vicini-
ty OF Bronson, Fla, of late was the fero-
cious combat between two of Farmer
Hawkins intoxicated cows the other
DAY, causing the death of one after
tight that would put a modern bull
| fight to blush.
hawkins lives four miles from Bron-
son and prides himself upon his fine
stock. He makes lots of cane sirup
also. In the grinding season most of
the farmers in this country make beer
Ior nome consumption from the "cane
| sk1mm1ngs," but Hawkins is a stanch
teetotaler and vowed he would give the
sKlmmlngs to his cows. So he filled the
trough full the other afternoon, not
dreaming of the tragic consequence to
follow.
Soon two of his pet cows came up
and began drinking the liquid. It tast-
ed good, and the cows wanted more,
Soon they had on a goodly Jag and
they got beligerent. One plunged at
the other, trying to get possession of
the trough. The other, with a below
of defiance, gored her antagonist in the
side with artistic skill. The other turn
ed tail for moment, and then came
rushing back, pinning the cow to post
and goring her frightfully.
The fight then became general. The
infuriated animals beloved and
plunged at each other and fought with
deadly earnestness. This was kept up
for a half an hour, when one was
knocked down in dying condition, and
the other was just able to walk around
and below tiumphantly. The men
folks heard the uproar, but did not get
to the scene of the warfare in time to
stop it.
Mr.. Hawkins Is out one cow, but has
lots of experience. The old settlers
around there say this is common oc-
currence where cattle drink this skim
mings, as it makes them fighting drunk
and scrimmage follows. In the old
times it was one Of the boys sports to
get a drove of cattle in an inclosure
and feed them with cane skimmings
and watch the fight that would follow.

Recovery.

Recovery.
No. 81 Lincoln avenue. Cortland, N.
Y, was once a house of sorrow and
sadness. The daughter of George
Loucks, the pride of the household,
seemed going into decline as she
reached her early womanhood and her
condition caused the greatest anx iety
in the family. The happy ending of
the matter caused considerable excite
ment in the neighhorhood and, when
questioned by reporter, Mr.. Loucks
made the following statement:
"About two years ago my daughter.
who was then in her 10th year, was in
bad health. She was pale and thin,
without strength or vitality. in fact her
condition was that which is generally
called all run down. We were, of
course, worried about>her and employ
ed the best physicians to attend her.
They studied her case and although
they did everything possible, gave her
no relief which was permanent. The
late DR.. Angle had first called my at
tention to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and my wife had heard
they were fine tonic. SO we decided
to try them for my daughter. We did
SO and inside of eight weeks the pri.
mary cause of her trouble was remov-
ed and she showed a decided gain in
health, strength and flesh.
A great many people will buy a
medicine and take few dcses. Then
if they are not cured they throw it
aside as no good, or take it spasmodic-
ally. We believe in tair trial in
strict accordance with directions and
our faitbfulness was rewarded for she
was greatly benefited by them. Her
color came to her cheeks and she con-
tinued to gain in weight and strength.
We have told great many people
about them and have been glad to do
so.''
