animals owned by other parties. When
he went after them that night he found
them dead near the pasture bars. D.. |.
L. Salley was called, to determine, so
far as he might be able, what had killed
the cows. He is OF the opinion that the
animals must have died soon after ar
irving at the pasture in the morning and
this, together with the fact that none of
the other cows showed any indication
of poison, seems to indicate that Mr..
Billodeau's cows must have eaten some
thing poisonous before leaving home.
They had been fed In the usual manner
but either through accident, or through
the design Of some one with evil intent,
something unwholsome must have gotten
within their reach.
