  What is said to be the crookedest cow deal that has come to light in some 
time is charged to Sam Hall who was locked in jail Monday afternoon by Deputy 
L.F. Watson.It is charged that Sam stole a cow from Mr.B.F.Edwards, who lives 
near the old corbett place, this county. Mr.Edwards made diligent search for 
the cow and the thief, and his investigations began to lead him toward Sam. Now 
Sam had already sold the cow to a man living some distance off, and when 
suspicions began leading toward him, he went one night and stole the cow from 
the man to whom he had sold it. Then he carried the cow back and put it in the 
pasture belonging to Mr.Edwards, from who he had originally stole it. The next 
morning Mr.Edwards found his cow safe and sound in the lot.Sam, of course 
denies knowing anything about it.
