son, fell into the stream. The fore
runner thought he had nQ time to look
back while mounting the incline, and
probably because he had heard of
Lot's fate by looking back, and, too,
because he knew what had followed
close behind him before he made the
hazardous leap; all these thoughts
made him decide to wait till he had
reached the zenith before he would
turn his head. When he reached the
summit he looked around, and to his
amazement, saw the "mad cow"
walking up the stream. He shouted
for joy. ' The facts were made known
by him who had' won in the race, and
soon there were men and women of
many different vocations on the scene.
Clerks, mill operatives, idlers, stand-
arouncls, farmers, and cadets, com
posed the crowd which witnessed the
mad cow in the ditch. She had got
fastened and could notgmove. Many
different ways were tried to extricate
her from her uncomfortable position,
but all failed. Finally it was sug
gested by an old ante-bellum darkey:
"Ef you stick a danamite under ner
dat will shore fetch her outer dar."
But by removing the banks of the
stream, the cow was raised to an ex
alted (on the hill) position about 3
o'clock in the evening, dui me ex
perience or disease, if any, was more
than she could endure, so she calmly
quit life on the hill about 5 p. m.
Many are yet trying to discover the
reason of her death, whether hydro
phobia, injury from being in the
ditch, or probably the chase after the
picaninny. The kid says he shore
did make her run to keep up.
The many friends of Mrs, R. M
Goodman, who has been seriously ill
for some time, will be glad to know
that her condition is improving. Her
mother, Mrs. A. D. Troutnaan, of
Troutmanville, arrived yesterday to
spend some time with her..
