liyered in the stock yard of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway Company at
Americas, Georgia, twenty (20) head
of cows to be shipped to

which cows were left directly in
charge of a care-taker of said con-
signee, which were to be loaded by
him and under his directions at l
a. m. during the night following said
date; that said care-taker, whose
name is Mathew Han, went to the
stock pen at 1 a. m. and proceeded
to load the cows without any assist
ance and permitted two of said cows
to escape from the pen and did not
place them in the car; that sometime
later said cows were recovered and
have remained in the possession of
the Seaborad Railroad since said
date, the consignee and consignor
both refusing to give shipping instruc-
tons or to pay balance due on charg-
es to the Seaboard Railroad Company
for said shipment including transpor
tation of the care-taker;
Now therefore, pursuant to the
laws of this state governing the sale
of property by railroad companies for
expenses, said two cows, which are
described as follows: one butt-head-
ed milk COW, weighing about eight
hundred pounds, dark uniform cream
color, and one butt-headed milk COW,
weighing about eight hundred and
fifty pounds, being of dark Jersey
color, with one light spot III one flank

gia, on Friday, December %, 1921,

The proceeds of said sale will be
applied first to the payment of the
balance due in the way OF expense
due the Seaboard in the handling of
said shipment to Prairie, Florida, and
the expenses incident to the keeping
of said cows since said shipment.
