Default The Case of the Missing Cow

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!"
