Cow Absent For Nine Days Found By Accident.

Some two weeks age a cow belonging to Alfred Duggleby, of near Tefft, disappeared and not a trace of her could be found. Mr. Duggleby advertised for her in The Kankakee Valley Review. Monday some of the children on the Duggleby farm were engaged in a game of hide and seek. One of them saw a hole in a straw stack and climbed in there to hide and was greeted by a kick. He retreated and told of his experience and it was found that the cow was so deeply embedded in the straw that she could not get out apd a lot of digging with pitch forks had to be done to extract her. The cow had been in there for nine days without either water or feed other than the straw, and was quite thin but is expected to come out all right.
