Mr.. Burlington an employee of the

Bessie.
From all that can be learned of

lington was at the dairy beginning to
milk. Bessie did not the idea. She
took aim at the right limb Of Mr..
Burlington, and then, well ask Mr..
Burlington. Reports from the hos
pital were to the effect that the vic

His leg being broken between ankle
and knee, proves quite painful but
he expects to be out soon.
Whether he will seek revenge is
not known, but it is certain that Mr..
Burlington will not take any more
