Mrs. Castner Claims $7.25 for Raising Deserted Animal. - - * Rushville, Ind., Feb. 23.—The whole machinery of the Rush circuit court, including a jury, was set in motion to hear a suit filed to collect $7.25.

Mrs. Castner says she hauled it in from the pasture, fed it milk and dain- ; ties, and it thrived 1 . When It caine to be a good sized calf, and was perfectly healthy and able to care for Itself, Innis sold it.
