COW IN LECTURE-ROOM

Special to Tho Times -Dispatch.la
NEWARK, DEL, June 6.-The stu
dents OF Delaware College are Cow
boys" They have played pranks OF
various kinds during the past few
months. but they outdid themselves on
Wednesday night when they led val
liable Jersey COW. belonging to Repre-
sentative J. p. Wilson, OF this town. a
member OF the last Legislature, to the
second floor Of Recitation Hall, which
fronts on the college campus. An ef-
fort was made to keep the affair quiet.
and It was not until to-day that the
details became known. How the stu
dent Cowboys" managed to walk the
bovine up the stairway, which has four
turns. is mystery that Will probably
remain unsolved.
The COW was taken on the unusual
Journey at midnight and was landed
in the lecture-room Of DR.. w. Q. syp-
herd. professor OF English. When the
animal objected to the new surround +
ings she tried to escape by jumping
through window. and cut her mouth
very badly on the broken glass. In
order to keep the COW in the lecture
room throughout the night the students
tied her to a radiator. The faculty had
TO get contractor and several men to
back the COW down the steps.
President Harter and the other mem
bers of the faculty have not as yet
taken any formal action on the mat
ter, but they are engaged in quiet
that promises to produce
early results. It Is not improbable that
some suspensions may be the outcome.
