From The Daily Dispatch: October 13, 1862:
Twenty-five Dollars reward.
–Strayed from my residence, on Oregon Hill, a young white Cow, with brown ears and nose, the front part of her fore legs brown below the knees. I bought her from Mr. Patrick Grace near Rocketts, and I think probably she is down that way, if she has not been taken up and sold. I will give the above reward if she is delivered to me, or for any information that will enable me to get her.
oc 10–3t* Wm. W. Timberlake.
