COW’S REPUTATION IS
ATTACKED IN COURT:
WAS “BEAUTY” BAD?
Was ‘Beauty" a mild and good-look
ing cow. worthy of her name, or was
she an ugly, vicious and obnoxious
beast? It was Judge Andy Calhoun who
had to decide "Beauty's” character in
the city court jr-sterdaj , tiiis'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,
brought in many witnesses to prove
that “Beauty” was so gentle she even
hated to bite grass. J. T. Williams
said he had owned the cow from tiie
date of lit r birth, and even when she
was a calf "Beauty” was so gentie her
mother thought she was sick all the
time.
Galamore said "Beadty” might be all
they claimed for her, but that she
chased him clear across his yard and
into ills porch. Mrs. Parker said it
was "cussedness” which caused him
to shoot the poor biastie, 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 uptil this morn
ing. The question still remains: How
good was “Beauty”?
