Cow Shoes

The other day the Kadizzles were in a campground with a couple of locals. One of the fellows told me he recently visited a nearby museum. On display at the museum were a pair of shoes designed to leave tracks like a cow. The story is that a local cattle thief made the shoes. Everyone in the area was missing cattle, but when they investigated they never found horse tracks or and foot prints where the cattle were missing. One day a rancher was out riding and noticed a man herding cattle with a funny walk. Upon further investigation the man was found to be wearing his special cow shoes. Some time later the poor fellow as shot. I have tipped off my good detective friend Bill Butcher in Bismark in case he is ever called in on such a case. Bill thanked me for the tip.
