Cows tight to a Finish.
A peculiar accident happened on Mon -
clay night when Mr. John Stewart's cow.
and one of Dr. J. P. Kennedy's had been
fighting, and Stewart's cow got her horns
locked around the other cows neck in
such a manner that she could not release
them, and evidently strangled the Dr.'s
cow which was dead when found Tuesday
Morning. A rescue party had to saw one
horn off Stewart's cow to get them se
parated. Stewart's cow was a little
dizzy when released but not much the
worse. This is a serious loss as cows arc
valuable now -a -days.

teacher. A large crowd were present
to do honor to the boys in khaki, as it
is rumored that this will be their last
leave home before they go overseas.

tasty luncheon was served at midnight,
after which they continued to chase
the glowing hours with flying feet.
