As soon as it became known that the cow had fallen in the well many of our citizens gathered there to render such aid as was needed. On account of the body completely filling the well, it was necessary to place the rope around her neck to draw her up. This was done, and when nearly to the top the rope broke and the cow took a return trip. A chain was then secured and placed around her neck and she was drawn out, but not until she had strangled to death.
