[ 3:25 AM ] All Posskicker had to report was; “Mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble. “

When the Deputy arrived at the scene he found the Sheriff tied up just like a roosting pig on a poll with a boxing glove stuffed in his mouth, and a note that read: “ Moooooo! Mooooooooo! Moo! “

They were shocked when their expert code detective finally broke the code of the Phantom cows’ note: “I have more boxing gloves where that one came from. “ PS meet me on hwy 66 at 3:25 AM and bring some salt, signed Moo! “

Mac the Deputy told Mr. Mud Wallering Jr, who is our Hill Hollering Knob’s Newspaper reporter. “I’ve had enough” as he got together a 10 man posse, and gave them their instructions. “Men we are going out on old Hwy 66 and I’m going to confront the Phantom cow. I want all of you to stay in the woods and watch!”

The posse was in place at 3:25 AM as the Deputy confronted the Phantom cow; the Phantom cow stood up on her hind legs wearing boxing gloves and went 3 rounds with the Deputy before tying him up like a roosting pig on a poll and smearing super glue all over one of her boxing gloves and then shoving it into deputy Mac’s mouth, and then vanished into the darkness of the woods.

Just before sunrise at 7:00 AM Mac’s 10 man posse was talking over just what they should do:

“Mac the Deputy didn’t say what to do after watching; think we should call for back up or maybe an ambulance? I don’t think our first-aid-kit has a band-aid as big as Mac’s head, do you? If only we were able to get the boxing glove out of Mac’s mouth. I think the super glue on the boxing glove was absolute brilliance because that is causing the whole problem. If only we could have got to Mac before the glue dried. We could ask him what to do. Oh well, let’s take Mac to the hospital to have the glove surgically removed; maybe the next person it happens to, we will get there in time”
