George Rother, La Grande Shops, had
a queer experience—his cow was shot.
His neighbor was cleaning his gun and
finishing the job sighted the gun on
George’s cow, pulled the trigger,
BANG, down went the cow. Bad luck
George, but glad it was your cow in
stead of some bystander.

years more of happiness.

on you Paul.
