Johnny Shuing Loses Bankroll When Cow Eats Money, June 18, 1925

Cow Eats Bankroll

Johnny Shuing of Salisbury, N.C., left his coat with a $200 bankroll hanging on a fence. While worked, a cow ate the coat. Johnny, just as hungry for money as the cow, promptly shot the animal. Then, scorning all rules of carving, he knifed his way towards the money, but he couldn’t find much in the cud. Now the Treasury department is using a magnifying glass trying to get a rebate for Johnny.
