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”?
