Policeman Is Taken Prisoner by a Lively Cow

LEVELAND, OHIO.—A big spotted cow with regulation crumpled horns ** and a determined cast of countenance captured Patrolman Chambers of the Detroit avenue station the other day and bound him so tightly that it

required the united efforts of every person living in Neil terrace, West Eighty-ninth street and Detroit avenue, to free him. Then Bhe started off down the street with him hanging to the end of a chain and flopping like the tall of a kite. . At the “mooings” of the cow and the yells of Chambers all the men at the Detroit avenue station rushed out and managed to corral her in Andrew Hartwell’s livery stable. As the door slammed on her, Chambers drew a

long breath and began to take inventory of the three hundred odd bones in his anatomy. "Strange,” he mutterkfl in a dazed voice. "I was sure some of them must be broken." ? • i. The cow, belongs to W. H. Ford, tired of her pasture and started to hunt a new one early in the morning. She pulled up the stake to which her chain was' attached and started. At the Nell terrace the green lawn of the court attracted her and sho tarried long enough to get all tangled up in the. chain'. half-strangled groans and “mooings" awoke every one in the terrace and someone called Patrolman Chambers. With soft words he tried to calm the frightened cow, but failed. She caught him between a tree and herself and proceeded to wind the chain around him. Chambers yelled for help. * ' . ' - The cow than decided to investigate Detroit avenue to the eastward and As took Chambers along. Through lawns and over flower beds she went until the station house was reached at about seven o’clock. The day and night forces were just changing and between the two Chambers’ prisoner was subdued.
