About one hundred years ago they owned a yellow cow and no matter on what pasture in the farm she was put to graze she invariantly returned to the fort and fed there. She yielded a firken of milk night and morning and was famed and prized for the quantity and quality of same.
    she was stolen but was traced and found in [?] four miles distant. She was driven home but was never content and refused food or drink. She disappeared immediately after he return.
