 The groundwork for later develop ments was laid last fall when Clar- ence Daggett of Central Village put a number of head of cattle in pasture in the TatHic hill section of the town of Brooklyn. Four of the herd-three- year old thoroughbred Ayrshire heif- ers-escaped and for many weeks have been running wild. For the past six weeks, up to last Sunday, no one having special interest in them is known to have seen them, the coun- try for miles around meanwhile being searched without result
 In a statement given out Tuesday afternoon, Stephen Coffey, an auction eer and farmer living in the town of Brooklyn, said that on Sunday after noon he received a telephone message from Mrs. Charles Parker that she had seen three of the heifers going past her home. and that two of them were bleeding.

When 4igned he pleaded guilty to the first count. the other being nolled. and he was ordered bound over to the su- perior court. Bonds of $2o0 furnished for him brought about his release.
 Information gathered by the inyes- tigators at Bradley's led to the arrest to answer charges like those preferred Bradley, he pleaded guilty to the first count, and was also bound over under S20e bonds to await trial at the super for court. The men deny shooting the heifer.
 MT. Coffey said Tuesday afternoon that two of the heifers at his place have bullet wounds in their bodies One or the animals has wounds in the right shoulder and left hip. The other animal was shot in the leg, the i'm pressien being that the wounds were caused by .SS calibre bullets.
