The question OF who stole this COW

county attorney the Judge and the
sheriff for the past week. Evidence
was meagre. Stories would not tally.

mild-eyed evidence that she had bee a
rudely snatched as il We're, from her

Moses Jones, near lconium, and ruth

that he sold her to Claude HiXon, OF
Guthrie Hixon admits that he bought
the COW from Edwards. But Edwards
conteuded all of the time that he was
merely the agent of Jones. and sold
the COW to Hixon with the knowledge
and consent of Moses. So many per-

entered into the case. both amusing
and ridiculous, that Judge Lawrence
