Horse Killed By 2 Cow.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D.. Feb. 1.-(Special.)
That COW has sufficient fighting ability
to defeat a horse and injure 1t so seriously
that 1t had to be killed, was demonstrated
by the result Of a pitched battle between
horse and COW belonging to F. T. Sink
Ter Of Colome. The animals were in a
barn, with only pole between them, when
the fight started The COW was the aK-
gressor from the start and it's frequent
gouging with its horns caused the horse to
retaliate with its heels. This enraged the
COW and the battle started, the COW using
Its horns against the pony's heels. The
horse was practically disemboweIed when
the battle ended and had to be shot to end
Its suffering, while the COW emerged from
the fight with only a few scratches.
