INQUIRY NECESSARY TO DETER MINE OWNERSHIP OF VALUA-
 BILE JERSEY CLAIMED BY TWO
One Would Slaughter Cow
Other Would Feed Her on the Finest Grass and Milk Her Tenderly Every Day-Queer Mixup that Perplexes Police,

Police,
 How many mammilla has a cow? Upon such a relatively. insignificant anatomical dissimilarity hangs the life or death, or a certain bovine female creature now at the city abattoir, the
 liberty of Sam Cardowsky, and George Egry's reputation as a shrewd, com mon sense man who knows, his own bovine property when he sees it.
 Egry complained to the police, last night, that his Jersey cow had been stolen from it's pasture at the Sher- wood driving park, in the West End Sam Cardowsky of 133 Hallam street, reported also to the police that he hired a man to drive three cows into the city slaughter house and that one COW. This morning, Egry, who had been doing detective work on his own hook, rode up to the police station on a bicycle and hurrying into the office of Chief Birmingham, declared that he had found his COW in the yard of the city slaughter house. Officers Ladd and Hall were told to investi- gate.
 ''Who owns that cow?' they said.
 'I do,' replied Cardowsky, whom they found at the abattofre "Consid- CT yourself under arrest" they said to Cardowsxy.
 At the police station Cardowsky said she was surely his COW because she had three teats. But Egry staunchly insisted that it was more certainly his COW because she had four teats. Re membering SOlomon'S decision in the baby case, Supt. Birmingham was in clined, to order the COW divided and half given to each claimant, but he telephoned instead to the slaughter house, asking that a census be taken of the cows milking extremities and received the reply that they were three. But, Egry insisted that, despite the deficiency of appendages, the COW was his.
 COW like a sword of Damocles. If she has it she lives. If she has it not, she dies. Decision is withheld, while Eery assemblies WitreSsea

Bills for that Last Bunch of Raids
 Before O'Brien Went to Washing

 Round.
 peared upon the faces of the thousand or more men engaged in the liquor traffic, in this city, yesterday. The smile passed over and appeared upon the faces of many persons who are not identified with the liquor business, but who know things as they are. This well distributed amusement arose over the diligently circulated story that thugs are following Axel Johnson to 'tdo him up." But Axel nevertheless tion- No my. friends, Axe1 Johnson is not that kind of a man. Thugs that never were on land or sea have no terrors for the head of the official de- tective agency to the. Bridgeport Law Enforcement league. whose brave beer, beaten the five cent whiskey. and defied important wines at a nickel a defy in every place from Seaside Park to the Trumbull town line.
 And all, for the. story goes this way, because the Law Enforcement league has had the temerity to go after "the man higher up." &1.
 'It is to laugh" said gentleman yesterday, who has followed the course of the Law Enforcement league since Scoop O'Brien went to Washington just before that nota 5le exodus. "It surely is to laugh i's The poor, old Law Enforcement Teague, with it's teeth all pulled. unti1sit is just able to potter about among asfew dives which every decent liquor dealer in Bridge port would like to seeSclosed, is scarce ly the object agafnstswhich thugs are sent.
 There may be a man higher up and 1t may be interestingHto know who it is. But the man hig3er up isn't any body that the Law Enforcement league cares to meet. If he is. here's tip for the league.
 .shI Listen" The| speaker formed his lips to a. whisper. tRemember that big bunch of raids awhile back, when they got some of thesbest men in the business and let thesa all go? Who put up the money fsr those raids? Who got the -noneyx &hy was the money furnisned2 If .&W Epf0rce-i ment league wants 10 fffld the man higher up.' let Alex put his sleuths on the job. Will the jaw enforcement league do it? No, it will not do it-'
 There are some things that men do concluded the speaker. that make them look. beside a thug, as Adam looked in the Garden of Eden when he faced the angel with the flaming sword.
