a foot and a hall long, a piece Of wire
and twenty-three wire nails were

ASCERTAIN the cause Of her death, az
abe had shown unusual symptoms
Twenty three wire nails, ranging In
size from six to ten penny, were found
In her stomach and had protruded
through the lining, being retained by
the heads. A water snake was also
found sticking In the lungs.
The COW drank from the creek and
probably swallowed the snake. The
nails might have dropped into the
feed trough, while the wire, no doubt
came from baled hay.
