In the second trial County Attorney
Miller elected to try Matthews for the
Travis murder and brought witnesses

A very peculiar case in veterinary
surgery occurred here. David Weber
had a COW with large accumulations of
fluid just back of the forelegs and
along the side. b. F. Osborn was called
and on examination performed an oper-
alton, removing about two gallons of
watery liquid. Not being satisfied
with the cause, closer inspection re-
vealed a small piece Of baling wire
four inches long between her forelegs.
She had evidently swallowed this wire
about year ago, after Mr.. Weber
had been baling hay according to the
best data, and it worked thru the lungs
and made its way thru the pleural
cavity. thus leaving drain of the
liquid from the lungs, which gathered
near the skin and formed large pock-
cts. From last report the COW was
doing nicely and a recovery is pos
sible.
