MONTPELIER

Another chapter has been written in
the cow story which started Monday aft
ernoon when Il. Chenette placed the COW,
owned by N Monti, in the pound Mr..
Monti has appeared twice expecting to
get the COW out of the pound, but the
matter is not in the grand jurors hands
now, but in the board of appraisers, one
of whom is Mr. Months attorney, w. n.
Theriault. The appraisers have not yet
made an estimate of the damage done
TO the garden of Mr.. Chenette, from
which the COW was removed Monday
afternoon. The winner thus far in the
affair seems to be B. j. Stewart, keeper
of the pound who, under the statutes,
is allowed the milk which he secures from
the COW, in addition to pay for its keep,
which viii be given him before the mat
ter is adjusted and finally settled. 1t is
expected that the appraisers will report
To- day.
