forming him that damage suit will

The conductor was riding on the
footboard of a car and the COW was
standing In the road. and when the
car was opposite her she turned her
head quickly and caught the conductor
with one horn and threw him OF the
car. A lawyer said today that cows
had rights on the highways and used
them long before trolley cars we've

from accidentally doing damage with
her horns. The outcome of the suit
will be awaited with much interest.
