Short Horned Cow Swindle Ends in Boston Beef Barrel
In Stratford County a schemesmith John Smith of Rockhill and Squire Richer chase a rumored Durham Cheshire short horn cow sent from England by the Earl of Derby. A disguised cow leads to a failed sale, a painted forgery exposed, and Richer left with a beef barrel verdict as Smith and Simon Mildmay wed Jane Smith and begin a family amid the fallout.
