The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1903-06-21

Muivane Record: There was COW out
last Sunday afternoon. 1t was an old blue
COW. She is owned in this town. There
was a tree about twenty rods from the
house. There was a rope swing on the
tree The old cow was a-munching grass
around that swing. The old COW got her
east horn and her northwest foot tangled
I'D in that swing. She looked like a
bouncing hintstone. Leaves, grass and
sod flew in every direction. 1t was
kind of little tornado with something
blue in the center.
Bout four or FIVE people ran down 10
see what was the matter, but couldn't
get close enough-breeze was too strong.
Blue spot in the middle got bigger and
smaller as the speed Of the whirly-go-
round increased or diminished. Old COW
finally slowed down TO about three hun
dred revolutions a minute. Young lady
took chances and rushed in They hshed
her out with a long pole with hook on
the other end of il and bathed her face
with cold water. Pretty soon old COW
slowed down till you could distinguish
her legs and then her eyes and hoofs and
then she stopped. A man united her and
led her up 10 the barn She was an
awful warm old blue COW but nobody was
hurt. which we are glad OF.
