Cow Swallows Cash, Then
Trouble Really Started

ROME.—There is one farmer in Italy who has learned to hate cows.

The farmer, Danielo Alghessello, recently hung up in a stall next to the cow a vest containing his wallet with 4,000 lire (over $200) in the pocket. The cow seized the vest and ate it.

In the hope of recovering his money Danielo killed the cow and examined its stomach, but did not find the chewed money. So he sold the meat at less than cost.

Now the local authorities have fined Danielo for killing a cow without a license for butchering.
