NO DAMAGES
IN COW CASE
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

The jury did not award damages in
the case of August Meyer VS.. the
Westfeld Mutual Farmers Fire Insur-
ance company. Mr.. Meyer owned a
COW on which he carried insurance in
the above company. On August 2,
1916, it was thought she might nave
been struck by lightning. The ami
NAL was not killed. but became i'll and
did not give as much milk. When the
president of the insurance company,
E. w. Schroeder, and the secretary,
Henry Harms, brought DR.. Schroeder,
a veterinarian, to see the COW, they
found swelling. The animal also
had a wobbly gait, but it was not de-
termined just what the trouble was.
In January the cow was killed and
parts of the diseased tissue sent TO
Madison by both the plaintiff and de-
fendant. The report came from Mad
ison the COW had lumpy jaw. All this
had little to do with the case, how
ever, for the>fnerits of the suit rested
on whether or not the COW was struck
by lightning. There was some vague
testimony on this question, but not
enough to support the contention held
by Mr.. Meyer The COW was valued
at $50.
The jury rendered special verdict,
deciding the COW was not struck by
lightning.
