BOSSY GETS OUT

Equine Friend, However
Turns the Trick for
Her.
Especial to THE T1mEs)

East Chicago, May 6.-There is one
cow in East Chicago which is in an ex-
tremely thankful state of mind. The
cow has not yet told her real name, but
she is black, or was black before she
experienced the little adventure about
to be related, and is of medium size.
Charles Club, a resident of this city,
was walking in the prairie near the
swamp that lies back of the Inter
State mills. He noticed a peculiar
bulk protruding from the water, and
an nearer approach discovered it to be
the head of cow. The body of the
COW was entirely immersed and moth
ing but the head wis visible. Club,
realizing that this was not place for a
COW, set about arranging for the ami
mails rescue. He got a horse and some
rope and tackle, and fastened the latter
about the cows body. The horse was
then told to "giddap" and with a few
mighty pulls. succeeded in extricating
the submerged COW from the slime and
muck in which she was fast

not she was a fit person to care for the
child.
The right of Mr.. and Mrs. Braddock
to retain the girl was denied by Judge
McMahan on the promise OF the mother
to send her out of the city and educate
the girl and have her properly cared
for. The defense went SO far as to
offer to post ten thousand dollar bond
that the order Of the court would be
carried out properly, but this was not
thought necessary by Judge McMahan.
Mrs. O'Dell's side of the kidnapping
story. as related in court yesterday, was
that she had placed the child in the
Braddock home to board at the rate of
$3.50 per week. After they had kept her
several weeks, she claims that they be-
came much attached to the little girl
