Suspension Of ATTEMPT MADE TO STEAL COW LAST EVENING, ANIMAL LED FROM PROPERTY AND TIED TO AUTOMOBILE; PLAN WAS FRUSTRATED, HOWEVER An attempt to steal a milch cow was frustrated last night by noth- ing else but the innate stubborn- ness of the animal, The cow is the property of a Cuban living in the concrete house formerly the property of E. M. Martin, located near the old Ruth Hargrove seminary. Indications are that the would- be cattle rustlers led the cow from its quarters to the road and then tied it to the rear of an automo- bile to lead it away. Refusing to be led the bovine proceeded to lie down in the road. Undaunted by the recalcitrant at- titude of the cow the robbers tried to drag it. That this proved un- successful is shown by the fact that the cow was unhitched from the vehicle and left. The owner sent for the sheriff this morning and he assigned Deputy Dalbert Bethel to the task of finding the frustrated thieves. Examination of the animal show- ed that it suffered a number of bruises about the head and sides. ‘One shoulder is terribly torn and mutilated from being dragged over} the fough road, and in several places, hide and flesh was torn away and the bone exposed.

C., Dec. 2.—| Further consideration of a loan to} help finance the eonstruction of a bridge from Key West to the main- land will be withheld by the Recon- struction Finance Corporation un- til the two interests which have made separate applications! for loans for the construction of the | bridge can assure the corporation | they have reached some definite agreement, the office of Congress- woman Ruth Bryan Owen said to-{ day it had been informed by ef- ficials of the corporation.
