tract offering to light the borough

owned by Fred Anness created con-
siderable excitement on the farm of
Mrs. Emma Lockwood, on Railway

and started across the field. A COW

caught and dragged some distance.
Carpenters at work on Willis Gay
lords house succeeded In stopping
the frightened animals, but one had
become injured so badly that it was
necessary to shoot it to put it out of
suffering. The COW had two ribs
broken and was attended by Yeteri-
nary surgeon DR.. Seth Lockwood.
The driver was in the barn at the
time of the runaway.
