MILkS COW TO SAVE
A BURNING MATTRESS

Dallas, s. D, Dec. 1o--A COW
has been known to start a fire
by kicking over q lantern, but
this is the story of a COW that
came to the rescue when flames
broke out and gave milk that
quenched the blaze.
The fact that the cow "a
fresh" and the quick wit of
16-year-old Fred Bentz, of Fair
fax, S. D., proved a combination
too strong for the incipient
blaze, and the day was saved.
SO was the wagon and a lot of
valuable articles it contained.
Bentz was driving a wagon
well loaded with goods. A mat
tress caught fire, and things
looked serious. Then Bentz
stopped the team, got out and
told the bessie COW, which RAJ
tied to the rear end of the
wagon, to ''histe.' Bessie histed
and Fred began milking. When
he had a pailful of milk he
tossed it on the fire and the
flames died down. There was
no farmhouse in sight and no
water available, so the milking
scheme was the only possible
n to meet the emergency.

MAY COST A FORTUNE
TO Deliver A COW

Clark, S. D., Dec. 12.-The amous
Jones county calf case Of Iowa bids
fair to have a rival in this county.
Last summer Charles Hersom, of Ray
amond, bought two COWS of John Imme
and paid 81 to bind the bargain. Then
a dispute arose over the place of de-
livery, Herson c%ontending that the
cows were to be delivered at Ray
mond, and Imme that the delivery was
to take place at the scales of the
weigher, Allan Jones. AS a result Inn
me refused to deliver the animals, and
Hersom started an action to replevin
them. The Justice decided that Hersom
was to have the COWS on the payment
by him of the purchase price, and that
the defendant was to pay the costs.
The defendant appealed to the circuit
court so far as the assessment of the
costs, about $40, was concerned. The
case was tried and the judge decided
that the costs were to be paid by the
plaintiff. The case will in all prob
ability be appealed to the supreme
court. Originally only the cost of talk
ing the cows to Raymond, about $3.50,
was involved, but UP to this time the
litigation has cost about 5000 and if
appealed will amount to over $500.
