We are glad to be able to chronicle the fact
that the mysterious poisoning of the two COWS
of Mr.. E. S. W. Choate recently has been
solved and that it was not done in malice. but
by accident. Mr.. Choate had, the day before,
while cleaning the rubbish out of his barn,
removed a paint barrel that had been the re-
ceiver of old screenings and other rubbish,
and throwing the contents out in the Darn-yard,
to which the COWS had access, they ate some
of the stuff, which contained the poisonous
substances.
have Just learned of new game of swind-
ling being practiced by a city shark on our
good country folks and take pleasure in warn
ing the people to look out for similar attempts.
The game was worked on one of our neigh
bors one cold frosty day in this wise: Our un-
s.xlh or haxr of
large load Of hay in Baltimore, was returning
home with his cash by way of the pike. lie
was accosted by a stylish young chap, driving
a handsome horse, and asked for information
Said the stranger: ''Neighbor, am seeking
friend who can assist me in my business and
I will offer you S35 for $50 if you will help me
along" Then the same old story was repeated
with the result that the cOuntryman came out
at the small end of the horn. If they will
have business with such sharks similar results
may always be looked for.
