A lot of boys who were up Casino
creek picnicing last Sunday carried
along % caliber rifle, and during
the afternoon, two of the boys used
the weapon on Mr.. Lehman's COWS
that were grazing near by. The lads
had no idea, apparently, of the pen
etrating power of the long cartridges
used in the %, and as result of
their craftsmanship both animals are
dead. One cow was shot three times
the intestines and liver being pierre
ed, and one bullet passing near the
heart. The other animal was shot
twice, and it was found necessary to
kill it Monday. Mr.. Lehman says he
will let the matter pass. being convinc-
ed that the boys had no intention
whatever of seriously injuring the
animals, and being under the appar.
ant impression that their hides would
protect them. The disposition that
would lead any boy to inflict wounds
upon harmless domestic animal is
hardly an admirable one, and these
chaps may consider themselves as
lucky to get off SO easily.
