Harry Gardner. near Courses Land

lantly insane. The first anybody knew
of her malady was a loud below. fol-
lowed by wild flight. with tail extss1'
ed and head high in the air. The rest
OF the herd looked on astonished at
the ungracefnl exhibition. but the mad
one continued TO race about the field
and TO below most dolefully. the
while paving the earth and shaking
her head most violently.
The attention OF the farm people
was called to the unseemly conduct
OF the otherwise well behaved COW.
and they discovered that she had been
attacked by a swapping turtle while
grazing near the bank Of small
stream which flows through the pas
ture field. The snapper" had grab
bed her nose. and all her antics to dis
lodge II were futile. After deal oi
efYort the farm people managed TO cor

Asking the conductor the location Of

PRIEST. THINKS U.S.. CRIMINAL
LAWS SHOULD Be AMENDED

oyster Bay /. l., Aug 2.--Atty.-G
Moody who came here yesterday TO
visit President Roosevelt, left today
for Washington TO give personal atten-
ton 10 the inquiries being made IN
the scandals In the agricultural de-
partment.
Mr.. Moody also discussed with the
president variety of other topics. The
deClination Of w. w Cotton to accent
the appointment of United States dis
trict Judge for the district OF Oregon
was taken up, but no agreement was
reached as to a further appointment,
Judge Cotton did not qualify after his
appointment, simply indicating to the
president that on account OF his pri-
yate business arrangements he found
himself unable TO accept the tender
Of the office.
Mr. Moody said that he and the
president considered al Yesterdays
general discussion NJ the laws bearing
on prosecutions In United states courts
the necessity for amendment to the
criminal laws Of the United States.
They agreed, he said, that Congress
ought to make certain amendments TO
existing statutes, as the laws under
which the courts are now operating
render It often difficult 10 reach a man
who might be guilty OF wrong-doing.
As an illustration OF this, Mr.. Moody
said IL was FAR more difficult 10 take
a man from one United States courts
jurisdiction into another United States
courts jurisdiction than Il Is for the
state Of Maine 10 get a criminal want
ed for the state Of California.
