This is the story of the ronn Durham heifer Mollio. orphaned at the tender age of four months, cos scttcd at the McCanu homestead, a maverick on the range, branded by Adam Kotzman, recovered by McCann and passed through four ownerships to a law suit, at the end of which Kotzman pays $87 costs nnd loses the heifer, val ued at S45. Away buck in the early autumn of 1906 L. H. McCann bought of Grovcr Caldwell a cow and calf. In an nccideut soon afterward the cow . offered the fracture of a limb and in mercy was slain, ledving the orphan bossy to be reared nnd petted about the McCaun home stead After a time the calf strayed out on the plain and lived for several months with a bunch of other cattle found there. Event ually she was discovered and taken back to McCanu's, and the testi mony adduced at the trial in Justice Court ran to the effect that the yearling manifested undis guised pleasure at getting back home, accepting the fondling of the family, frisking to her own stall in the for end of the stable, even paying a visit to the neighboring homesteader, E. A. Criffin, and there Investigating receptacles where she had formerly found po tato parings and similar toothsome refuse. In short, her behavior was very different from that of the ordinary range heifer. In the course ot time the heifer passed by purchase successively to Anton Aunc, J. II. Oueill, Charles Finley and J. It. Wood. Adam Kotznau was in town one day last all and the tnild-cyed heifer, now grown to a mature .cow, fell under bit eye. From marks wliMj he identified as his brand he laid claim to the animal and stralghway took her to his home. Wood obtained a writ of replevin and recovered pos session of the cow and the suc cessive owners called upon McCann to make rood the title be bad con veytd to them. Thus the matter got nt Issue before n jury In Justice Merrill's cdutt. The gist of the McCann (tide of the cane 1st norratcd above. Kotz man swoic that he bought the gen tie' yearling ftom Mr. Dodsoti, on Crooked river, and that his brand upon the beast Was properly there. He atso nald he knew where the McCanu heifer, which was an en tirely different crcnttfro, was. Mr. Dodsou was not called inhdiidf 01 Mr. Koumnii, nor was Ike qlher heifer, said tc be McOuni'si definite- ly located The brand,, too, wom no indistinct that It was necessary to shear the hair away to oee it With any degree of clearness, ami the ears had lccu Hlit in a manner more indicative of barbarism that) owner' ship by anybody. At nuy rate, the jury brought in a verdict for McCanu, Notice of appeal was duly filed and the matter was to come on for hearing at the present teim ot Cir cuit Court In Prinevltlc. A sub' poena duces tecum was iisued for Mr. Wood, with special instruc tion to produce the cow lu court at the hearing, but It was served on Sunday and was therefore invalid. And when the case came on the ap ieal waa found to be Imperfect and it was dismissed on motion of At torney Benson, for the plaintiff. The cost bond given 'by Kotz man upon appeal was signed by W Wurxwcllor and Tom' Baldwin as sureties, thus insuring the payment of the $87 taxed by the justice, which docs not include attorney's and witness's fees for the defense. The value of the cow was placed at Us. After the action in Prinevllle leaving the animal in possession and owncrshipi of Wood, he promptly sold ttie cow to Butcher White. Further deponent sayeth not.
