Aug. 25-J.JP A young Wisconsin cow with a long record of misbehavior, lan guished at the bottom of a partly filled silo today, waiting for an early harvest to bring her free dom. Snoopy. 650 pound pet of 13- year-old Cherlne Lamnman, had to squeeze through an opening 20 inches wide and 30 inches high to get In. She was inspired at the time, however, since Cherine's father, Everett Lampman, was in hot pursuit. Lampman caught the adven turesome heifer chomping her way through his best Held ot green corn. He chased her to the barn and locked the door, but snoopy headed for what looked like an exit. Farmer Lampman heard a crash and popped inside Just in time to see snoopy disappear Into the silo. Snoopy, unruffled and apparently unhurt by her 12-foot fall, got to her feet and munched last year's silage leftover. Unlike Grady, the Oklahoma cow that holds the silo -sitting mark so far this year, Snnopy's silo is below the ground rather than above it. The entrance ap erture is Just about ground level. Neighbors gathered at the farrr, three and a half miles east of here, and decided the only way to get Snoopy out Is to fill up the silo. Lampman Juggled his farming timetable and decided to start cutting his corn crop this weekend. Then the silo will be filled and Snoopy can walk or be pushed to freedom. Someone suggested that the frisky heifer might enjoy her im orisonment, with tons of corn pouring in. But Lampman has hat nmhicm licked he'll muz zle Snoopy and give her Just feed- and water till tne jod is uumc.

If the maneuver succeeded, large nationalist forces would be forced to retreat or risk encircle ment. Canton would be seriously Sfyled right! Priced lighf!
