MAD COW.

BAILIFF TOSSED OVER A FENCE. For two days a mad l'our-year-old Guernsey cow kept villages on the west side of Alton, Hanipsmre, England, in a state of alarm. As a last resort three other cows were brought to it in a paddock in tile iiopo ot pacifying it, and it was eventually secured by ropes. The animal is one of a herd of 43 Guernsey cows on \Vivelrod Farm, near Alton, belonging to Air B. B. Newman, of Colwortli Lodge Farm. Colwortli, Surrey. Cowmen who tried to get into a shed were attacked and scattered. The cow then ran from the field, and no one dared to go near it. It spent the night in Theddem Wood. Next morning a cowman drove it out, and a cordon, of men armed with hayforks and ropes tried to lasso it. Escaping on to the main Basingstoke road the animal entered the grounds of Bentworth Lodge, trampled and broke up a lawn, and tossed Mr Newman’s bailiff over a 6ft fence before itself leaping over the fence. Next it appeared in Bentworth Village, where it charged at a milk flout and "then at a woman, a maid at the vicarage.
