The grip these men use is the overlap

Tramped Up by a Cow

Wat Osgood had curious experients
last week. Wat has four cows which
he milks reglar twice a day. Well, the
other ev'g, Wat went out to milk and
he MIXED three of the cows leaving old
Brindle to the last being as she is such
an ornery critter and usually kicks the
bucket over.
While Wat was milking her she fisted
and come down with her foot right on
Watts and kept it there and him holler-
ing and yelling for help as loud as he
could boiler and pounding her with his
fists and trying to push him often him,
but Wat said she just stood there with
almost superhun1an intelligence, as it
were on his foot peacefully chewing her
cud and switching off the flies.
AS old Brindle weighs probably 900
lbs. Watts feelings can better be imag
ined than described. After she had stood
on his foot for two or three minnits she
got off and Wat lirnped to the house.
He now says he is going to sell that
COW, and if he can't do that he is going
to give her away.
