' GREENEVILLE Cow Killed in Brutal Manner—Animal Owned by Hugh McComb Had En- trails Pulled Out by Unknown Man— Chorus Choir at - Congregational Church. By an act of the utmost cruelty, per- formed by a man of whose identity there is not the slightest trace, Hugh McComb of 92 Fourth street lost a val- uable Holstein cow about 2 o'clock Fri- day morning in a manner so peculiarly brutal that indignation was aroused throughout Greeneville and the city, where the news quickly spread. When at 430 Friday morning Mr. McComb went to the barn of the She- tucket company off Prospect street he found one of his two cows lying dead and the other with her hind legs tied and stretched out behind her. An ex- amination showed that an iron poker with a hook on the end had been thrust into the cow and the entrails drawn forth. The poker, which was three feet long, had evidenily been pushed in to the end, and a later examination show- ed that'the kidneys had been torn and other internal organs injured, causing considerable bleeding. The cow must have suffered great pain, but any noise was prevented by thoroughly wrapping her head in bags, which was also done with the other cow. Mr. McComb, after an examination, informed Policeman Allen C. Matthews, who notified Chief Murphy, but a care. ful search by the police and Mr. Mc- Comb fajled to reveal a single clue to the perpetrator of the outrage. Every effort, however, will be made to ferret out the gujlty man or men. Deputy Sherift Draper was also notified of the affair. The animal was removed to Preston and the investigation made of the in- ternal injuries. The other cow showed no marks of violence, but probably from fear she refused to eat’or drink all day Friday and seemed in bad shape. Mr. McComb purchased the cow Xilled from Charles B. Chapman ten weeks ago for $65 and she gave eight quarts and & half of milk. Mr. Mc- Comb, who has a small milk route, milked the animals as usual Thursday night and then went home, leaving the stable unlocked, as years ago, he said, when a barn burned, he was able to save all his cows when others who kept their doors locked lost thefr livestock. He recelved a sad surprise Friday morning. Mr. McComb has mo enemies, he says, as far as he knows, and could think of no one who would do such & dastardly deed. He has found tramps asleep in the barn mornings and last week & man asked him for the time, but went off before Mr. McComb could learn who he was. Chorus and Orchestra. At the Greeneville Congregational church Sunday evening there is to be a song service with a chorus of 50 volces and an orchestra of seven pleces. In addition: Miss Minnie Townsend, vio- linist, will render @ solo. The Alexan- der songs will be sung. O. W. Car- penter is the chorister of the church. Personals.
