Woman And Children Attacked by an Enraged Cow.

     Last Sunday towards evening Mrs. William Johnson of Barrington and her two little daughters, aged three and five years, went to get a pail of water from the barn yard and were attacked by a Jersey cow. Mrs. Johnson was near and tried to protect them as much as possible, but the cow was very quick and unmanageable; the father succeeded in picking up the children and was trying to get away when the animal caught the three of them on her head and carried them about 20 feet. A hired man came to their reacue. Dr. Shearer was called at once and found the children in bad condition, being bruised on the head, body and fingers. No bones were broken but they have been unable to walk since. The Johnsons live on the Otis South farm.
