The Case of the Missing Cow



A big city lawyer was called in on a case between a farmer

and a large railroad company. The farmer noticed that his

prize cow was missing from the field through which the

railroad passed. He filed suit against the railroad company

for the value of the cow. The case was to be tried before

the Justice of the Peace in the back room of the General

Store.



The attorney immediately cornered the farmer and tried to

get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best

selling job, and the farmer finally agreed to take half of

what he was claiming to settle the case. After the farmer

signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer

couldn't help but gloat a little over his success.



He said to the farmer, "You know, I hate to tell you this

but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won the

case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the

caboose when the train went through your farm that morning.

I didn't have one witness to put on the stand."



The old farmer replied, "Well, I'll tell you, young feller,

I was a little worried about winning that case myself

because that durned cow came home this morning!
