The Kansas City Times states that
suit has been brought against the

tell us whether the car should be
widened or the tail cut Off the COW.
the state commission would robably
cut off both head and tail SO that the
Santa Fee could make both ends meat.
1t would then make no difference to
the COW If she was in the car longer
tnan twenty-eight hours, but the car
cass could not be re-taled.
