The cow wandered off the home reservation and toddled over to the farm of George Harrison and ate too freely of a mash on the Harrison place, according to the plaintiff.

Saronac is suing Harrison for the value of the cow, holding that Harrison should not be so careless with his mash and have it in such an exposed place.

All the other patrons of the restaurant had a similar pleasant experience.
