Owners of cows would do well to see that, their cattle do not stray on the railway lifte. A cow was killed near Koputaroa the other night by a passing train. It is not only the owner of the cow that suffers, besides the poor beast itself, but cattle on the line endanger the lives of the travelling public. The river is still subsiding, but the motor cars had not, on Saturday, been able to get through from Foxton. _____
