After a Sew Dress.

From Delphi Times. On Tuesday, as Will Rinehart, Hull Itskin and John Lyons were engaged in driving a cow through the city from the south side, the animal exhibited even an unusual amount of pure, unadulterated cussedness. First she objected to entering the bridge across Deer creek and boldly plunged into the water from tlie abutment. After leaving she wae4ndweed to cross the bridge, hut under no circumstances would she consent to be driven up town. After vainly endeavoring to elude the drivers, she finally got away by jumping from the stone wall at Moore’s planing mill into the creek again. The distance to the water was fully ten feet, hut the cdidhrute animal was not injured in the least, aifd struck out boldly for tho south shore. Finally the drivers succeed in get-Trog-ker up to Main street, when she became frantic, and in the endeavor to escape rushed up the stairU’ay in Bowen’s new block, next door to tbe"7VW* office. The brute mounted the stairs as readily apparently as a child, and when captured was iu the act ot exploring the mysteries of Mrs. Crane’s dress-making establishment. After some trouble, she was induced to descend, and when last seen was going east, on Main street, seemingly seeking other openings for miss chief.
