Settling a cow case
A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old
rancher. The rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which
the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.

The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back
room of the general store.

The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get
him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the
rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking.

After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer
couldn't resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, "You know, I
hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have
won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose
when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn't have one witness
to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"

The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about
winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning."
