FORDON THE TAILOR TWO SHOPS 8-10 N. PRYOR ST 5 AUBURN AVE. COW’S REPUTATION IS ATTACKED IN COURT; WAS “BEAUTY” BAD? V\ as "Beauty" a mild and good-luok ing cow. worthy of her name, or was she un ugly, vicious and obnoxious beast .' It was Judge Andy Calhoun who had to decide “Beauty’s” character in the city court yesterday, tills 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 .vitnessps to prove that "Beauty” was so gentle she even hated to bite grass. J. T. Williams said lie had owned the cow from the date of her birth, and even when she was a calf “Beauty” 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 tlie 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"?
