November
1899--Advocate--A cow belonging to Ed Bergstrom
got choked on a potato the other day and Ed ran his arm down the animal's
throat to remove the obstacle. As he drew his arm from the cow's throat
she involuntarily closed her mouth, catching his hand between her grinders
and mutilating it in a fearful manner. Ed says he never knew before that
a cow had so
much
power in her jaws. He will be able to save his hand all right, but he will
not be apt to try the experiment again.
Parties wishing to pay their subscriptions in hay or wood will please bring it in now. We will allow the market price.
