gain for the month, Washington Is

Unchaperoned Cows
On a Tear, End the
Night In City Pound

IF the milkman is late in ar
irving this morning, it will not
be his fault altogether. Rather,
it will be the fault chiefly of
Bossy, who viii probably not
respond to her name until her
owner visits the city Jail and
pays fine or pound fees, to
secure the cows release.
At II o'clock last night. the
tinkling of COW bells brought
West Garden street jewellers
out to do sentry duty over their
flower beds until police could
arrive. Finally Officers Tar
rants and Reed reached the
scene and conducted the two
Bossies to the city pound.
The cows, of almost pure Jer-
sey strain, evidently strayed
from some nearby dairy in the
city, and, until pound fees and
other costs are settled, will re-
main at the city pound. When
the cows were captured, the
flower bed sent.nels put away
the brooms, umbrellas and
sticks with which they assert
ed their armed neutrslity-and
went to bed.
