SCORPION FOUND ALIVE
IN CARCASS OF A COW
At First the Animal Had Been Sus-

John S. Gilliss. who owns a farm just
outside of Rockville became i'll. She
began coughing. and later showed symp-
toms of tuberculosis.
At least the neishbors. many OF whom
had lost cows through that malady, all
said tuberculosis was what was the mat
ter with the Gilliss COW. The GiIlisses
did not know positively that tubercu-
losis was what allied their favorite mich
COW. but they took no chances. They
segregated her, stopped using her milk,
and bestowed every attention upon her.
But the cow grew worse.
Finally she became so feeble about
three weeks ago that she could not stand.
The veterinarian who was called in dag
nosed her ailment pneumonia. Her
rough increased. and the Gillisses decided
that the humane thing to do was to kill
her and end her misery. So she was duly
executed, and negro farm hand was set
70 work to skin her.
Live Scorpion Found.
When he had removed the hide the
negro noticed hole in the skin next to
he hide on the cows side. His curiosity
was AT once aroused, and he traced the
hole through the intestines and stomach
of the COW. Following its course, he
came To the cows milk bag. There was
found scorpion, five inches long alive
and apparently In the best OF health.
Mr.. Gillss believes the COW swallowed
the scorpion some time in August or Sep
TENDER. A drought prevailed In the
Rockville section at that time. and the
small stream in Mr.. Gilliss' pasture ran
dry. The COW went to spring to quench
her thirst. Scorpions of the kind swal-
lowed by the Gilliss COW are common
throughout this section. They al

theory.
A thorough examination OF the COW
