COW EXPERTS MAY
 BE SUBPOEANED
Testimony on Sale Be. comes Complicated in
 Court Hearing Today

Cow trading has It's intricate, and often delicate points, 1t was dis- closed this morning in the $500 Com mon Pleas action of Samuel Her. man of Waterbury against Otto Mattson of Watervillc.
 Taking the witness stand, Herman accused the defendant of violating an agreement involving the sale of four cars to the plaintiff. According to terms made last February i3 Herman was to receive the four COWS in consideration of a cash payment Of $90 and the delivery of a heifer.
 Madison did not deny this, but took the witness stand to show that shortly after the sale was made state examiners discovered that the four COWS in question were af- flicted with Bangs disease, and therefore, according to law, could not be sold without written per- mission.
 Herman says that Mattson sub- sequently sold the four COWS to the state and others, receiving $350.
 Mattson replied that he couldn't possibly sell the COWS to Herman be- cause of the law forbidding such sale when COWS are found afflicted with Bangs disease.
 Herman wants share of the sale price. Mattson disclaims any such knowledge. And so goes the battle Cow trading is different.
 Trial Is expected to end some time this afternoon. with Attorney Sid- ney s. Cassell appearing for the plaintiff. and Frank T. Healey for the defendant.

 The report adds that the weather was rainy and visibility poor, Thrasher was proceeding at twenty miles per hour
