Mr. Adam thought that the cow had strayed. away, and advertised in the papers for her, but he heard nothing. Leff 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 cattle 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 his cow, Mrs. Peter Holz, of New Albany, decided that her cow, which she thought had wandered away, had been stolen, and she began to make enquiries around, and Mr. McCoy remec^erlngj that Claude Shap, of this place, had purchased a cow answering that description, and so be notified Mrs.,Holz Bnd they maed a trip to this place, and found the cow in Mr. Sharps herd. The lady identified her cow, and had her sent back home.Sharp says that he bought the cow from a man who said his name was George W. Iagle, and that be claimed to come from Bradford. There can be no question but what It was the same gentleman that stole both cows, but neither Sharp or the Marengo man can give a good description of him.
