Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - September 10, 1904 COW STOLEN OUT OF PASTURE, RECOVERED On the night of the 9th of August a cow was missed from the drove of Seth FISHER in his pasture at Quakertown. Mr. FISHER at once advertised for the animal but nothing was heard of it till last week it was traced to Major FREY residing one mile north of Springtown, Bucks County. On the 10th of August a short set man with a black mustache appeared at his farm and offered to sell the cow for $20, at last Mr. FREY offered $15 and took the cow. Mr. FISHER on Friday got the cow, giving Mr. FREY $8 and is now offering a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the thief. The cow is worth $50. HAS NO STOMACH, BUT DINES AS USUAL Minus his stomach, John KOLLE, a German carpenter, of Reinoehisville, was discharged from the Lebanon Sanitarium on Saturday afternoon as cured from stomach troubles. KOLLE was operated upon nine weeks ago for a growth in the stomach that prevented digestion and assimilation of food, and his stomach was removed. Only twice before has this operation been successfully performed, once in Vienna, and again at a New York hospital. A feature of KOLLE's case is not only that he survived the loss of so vital an organ, but that he is now able to eat solid food. He now eats meat and vegetables, just as though he had a complete stomach within him. GOAT ATE DYNAMITE AND IS NOW ALONE A goat owned by Tony ACARIO, a laborer employed by the Tilli estate on the stone quarries above Pottstown, has swallowed a stick of dynamite, which was carelessly left lying around the house by ACARIO. Efforts to capture the animal without using unnecessary force have failed, and the goat has been at liberty for three days, a menace to the safety of the 150 laborers employed at the quarry. It is probable the animal will have to be poisoned.
