Some of our boys have been amusing
themselves in a very cruel and dangerous
way for some time and the owners OF
cows are getting very indignant about it,
They corner up one of the cows they find
pasturing In the woods or along the road
side and subject her to every cruelty
their minds can conceive, apparently de-
irving great deal of pleasure from the
poor beasts sufierings. One of the cows
which had been unfortunate enough TO
fall into the hands of these pleasure
seekers came home in the evening very
much the worse for her experience and
on examination nine shots were found in
different parts of her body.
