Cow Without an Ownmer. Wandering aimlessly in the vicin- ity of Cook avenus, without a home or owner, is a new milch cow, carr/- ing some good steaks and roasts, that is seeking a place ‘with some kind person willing to provide board in return for milk and the prospects ot financial gains in the future. The animal has been roaming around for the past few days, oeca— sionally borrowing a meal in the mea- dows of property owners in that lo- cality and sorrowfully gazing at all who pass by in the hope that some one may take pity on her and take her home. The cow was originally owned by D. K. Radcliffe of Cooke avenue. He sold it recently to an Italian lviig near Southington. A few days later, the Italian seemingly believing . that he got the worst of the bargain, trought the bovine back and demapd- ed'the return aof his money. He claimed that it was not the sort. of ccw that the owner had represented it to be in making the sale. Mr. Radcliffe refused to call off the deal and the Itallan declined to take the cow back home. Fearing that they might became in- volved in a lawsuit, others living in the vicinity of Cooke avenue are not willing to take a chance on providing grain and shelter for the “critter’” and as a result she 'has became a tramp. Mr. Radcliffe has reported the case to First Selectman W. J Johnson and the latter is in a quandary as to what course he shall pursue to settle it. He plans to notify the Italian to take it home .and in case of the latter’s refusal he will probably go to the Connecticut . Humane society for fur- ther instructions. Condemns Liquor Traffic, Rev.
