Cow Without an Owner.
Wandering aimlessly in the vic!n-
ity of Cook avenue, without a home
or owner, Is a new milch COW, carr
is seeking a place with some kind
person willing to provide board in
return for milk and the prospects OF
financial gains in the future.
The animal has been roaming
around for the past few days, occa-
sionally borrowing a meal in the mes :
dows Of property owners in that To-
cality and sorrowfully gazing at all
who pass by in the hope that some
one may take pity on her and take
her home.
The COW was originally owned by
d. K. Radcliffe of Cooke avenue. He
sold it recently to an Italian livi -
near Southington. A few days later,
the Italian seemingly believing that
he got the worst of the bargain,
brought the bovine back and demand
ed the return of his money. He
claimed that it was not the sort Of
COW that the owner had represented
1t to be in making the sale. Mr..
Radcliffe refused to call off the deal
and the Italian declined TO take tho
COW back home.
Fearing that they might become in
vo1ved in a lawsuit, others living in
the vicinity of Cooke avenue are not
willing to take chance on providing
grain and shelter for the "critter'
and as a result she has become a
tramp.
Mr.. Radcliffe has reported the case
to First Selectman w. ] johnson and
the latter is in quandary as to what
course he shall pursue to settle it, |
He plans to notify the Italian to take |
it home and in case of the latter's |
he will probably go to the |
