San Francisco Chronicle, ! DUEL BETWEEN COYS. A Scrte of lUttle Which Kmtrd In the Ilelh of One of the ItoTlo. Two families livinjr side by side in a , country tIIUp had each a cow. The cow jrrazrd in different pastures, but often came toother - in the highway ; when jruin to and from pasture. They ere oa vod terms, for they had Mn aciuiintcd saveral years. j One of the cows was sold, and a new oik, a rounder cow, came to take her younger place. yVhcn the youn;r cow and the old cow cf the other family met for the first time, the yoan?er attacked the i older. They locked horns several times, I each trying to drive the other, but they i it' I j tafcsinaado by e!xh$T M ! ! Aft h$ fighter Iki-a&e mo and aklhc younoVjcovl had - on her horns, they were driven apart, fearing that injury to one or both might result. The owners of the cows re- gTetted that tho cows could not "fight , it out," for until one did conquer, tho battle would be resumed at every op : portunity. Several battles followed, always with i , . . WrwjL , . 1 . ecl or they became more furious at onslauirht. 1 every onslaught. This state of things was inconvenient. The owners were not farmers, were away during the day. and must depend on tho children ! to drive to pasture and drive borne, I and there was no way to either j 1 pasture except through the highway. I The cows were driven in and out at dif- j ferent times, but when they came to tho place o battle, they lingered, threw up ! the earth, and the children had dilUculty j in driving them farther. j The owners had nearly reached the conclusion that there must be a change ' of cows before peac; was restored, when "the duel' occurred and settled tho ma'ter. Ily a misunderstanding on the part of the driver one day, the cows came together at the usual place. As they had not seen each other for several weeks, and linsrerod less at the former place of. meetmr;, their enmity i might havo diminished. At all events ; they were not "on gu..rd" so much as they had been, and owing to this fact, i and to 4ntervening roadside trees .and ! bushes, they did not see each other till , they were less than fifty yards apart. j Evidently they saw each other at nearly the same moment- for both start- j ei into a run, which increased as they ! went on. and, heads dowrthey came to- j gether. head to head with a crash, a re- ' port that was heard in bota houses. The f older cow fell, and did not move again. She was dead knocked in the thh';a with a lrutcher's axe. The. othe uninjured. (leo. A. Stock well, in Coun- j try lientleman. ?
