ROSES LURE GOAT FROM CANS

R.ow Results, Police Called In, and Angora Is Ordered to,Keep Off the' Lawn. Atlanta.—Red roses and their appeal to the appetite of an angora goat have kicked up a neighborhood row which the police have been called in to arbitrate. The roses bud on the lawn of John Cunningham’s home, No. 33 Colquitt avenue. The goat, the property of a neighbor, is supposed to browse in a nearby pasture; but, according to Mr. Cunningham, this is mere supposition. He complains that for the past three weeks the goat has wandered off the farm and, lured by crimson buds, has wrought havoc on the Cunningham lawn. He declares the goat has developed an appetite for the flowers which results in the mastication of six or seven roses a-day. Mr. Cunningham could stand it no longer. The police station was called and an officer who Investigated issued orders that hereafter the goat must confine his meals to his own grass and tin cans.
