The Greatest "Cow Story Ever.-It is
from tine Baltimore San and is as follows
1.-The 5-year-od Jersey COW raised from calf
by Mis-. Emory c. Shipley, of Texas, Northern
Central Railway, jumped down the John C.
Bosley quarry at Texas yesterday morning,
the distance being 80 feet, and struck on the
rocks below which were covered with about
two feet of water. She then rolled into deep
water. Notwithstanding the great fall she
managed to keep afioat until pulled out by Mr..
Shipley. The COW acted very peculiarly on
Monday, when she ran away and jumped into
the Shipley quarry, which is filled with 70 feet
of water. The animal swan about and then
got out On being driven home she turned
and jumped in again. Mr. Shipley and others
dragged her out. After little while she was
able to walk to the stable where she was Sc
curely fastened. Yesterday morning she but
ted down the door, breaking horn in the act,
and also rammed stonewall on her way to
the Bosley quarry"
