Was Beauty” a mild and good-look ing cow, worthy of her name, or xxas she an ugly, vicious and obnoxious beast? It was Judge Andy Calhoun xvho had to decide “Beauty's” character in the city court yesterday, this being the first time he ever delved into the mys teries of bovine reputations J. S. Galamore claimed that he shot “Beauty” in self-defense, and Mrs. T. E Parker. 796 Edgewood avenue, brotfght In many witnesses to prove that “Beauty” was so gentle she ex r en hated to bite glass. J. T. Williams said he had owned the cow from the date of her birth, and even when she was a calf "Beautj’” was so gentle her mother thought she was sick all the 'time. Galamore said “Beauty” might be all they claimed for her, but that she chased him clear across his yard and into his porch. Mrs. Parker said it was "cussedness" which caused him to shoot the poor beastie, and that its efficiency as a milk-producer has been permanently impaired. The cow may be brought into court today to testify in its own behalf, as the case was continued until this morn ing. The question still remains; How good was "Beauty”?
