Lagle, and saying that he lived near Bradford, several weeks ago. stole a cow from Jacob Adam, of Jackson township. Mr. Adam thought that the cow had strayed. away, and advertised In the papers for her, but he hdard nothing. Left McCoy, who deals extensively in cattle, and horses noticed the description of the lost cow, and he found out that a cow of that description was at Marengo, where a man had sold her to some cattle buyers.He told Mr. Adam what he had found out, and they made a trip to Marengo, and Mr. Adam had no difficulty In proving that the cow was his. The caUle buyers then informed him that they had purchased -the cow form a gentlemen who said he resided near Bradford. They did not know him or could give no description that would aid In his capture.A few days after Mr. Adam had recovered bis cow, Mre.
