8. a cow's reputation was at stake!

COW'S REPUTATION IS UP BEFORE JURYLaporte, Ind. Jan 7—The reputation of a cow was at stake before a jury of twelve men in circuit court here. Charges that the cow was not what she represented to be were made by Harry Nelson, defendant, in the lawsuit for $100 on a note bought by George Jasicki, a neighbor. Both live near Michigan City, Ind.The jurors were told by Nelson that the cow turned out to be blind, somewhat lacking in teeth and failed to give more than three gallons of milk a day.Jasicki on the other hand sang the COW'S praises and claimed she gave five gallons of milk a day when he owned her.The court took the case under advisement.Tyler Daily Courier TimesJan 7, 1930
