    Here is part one of an article that was published in the Little
    River News back in 1989. It concerns the mutilation of 5 cows
    within I think a 24 hour period. Now that I got the new scanner up
    and running B-) there will be a special Arkansas Cattle Mutilation
    section in Odyssey Online February edition (204). Included will be
    .gif's of the dead cattle (note these will not turn out too well
    due to the poor quality newspaper photos and age.).

    **************

    The Little River News is publishing a series of articles
    which frankly are strange.
    Persons who like to express Cheap shots to newspapers may
    be, inclined to cite the wornout phrase of 'we want to sell
    extra newspapers.
    The articles concern five dead cows round in Hempstead
    County where three of the cows were mutilated.
    We've asked questions about mutiliations dating back to
    1979 when Otto Cowling Jr. of Foreman had a 1,200-pound bull
    mutilated. Then in August, 1987, Keith Pullen of Foreman
    lost two calves to something that mutilated. These are just
    the reported incidences we've learned about in our county.
    When researching the Hempstead County mutilation we found
    out about another mutilation which occurred in 1987.
    In November the newspaper talked to the Lonok@ County
    Sheriff who discussed the muti lation in his county of two
    Longhorn steers. All of the mutilations offcred not a single
    clue - period.
    We were bothered how a 1,200-pound bull could be taken
    down without a struggle. All of the, animals appeared to be
    laid on the ground. Even when the calf was found by Pullen
    in a soft dirt bank of a pond, no tracks were found of
    anything.
    During the major portion of the "sky activity" last year
    which sightings still continue, Linda Moulton Howe became
    aware of our work in attempting to document our activity of
    unidentified flying objects.
    She sent us a videotape she produced in 1980 entitled "A
    Strange Harvest." This docu mentary was nominated for a
    regional Emmy in Denver. We checked if in fact the video was
    nominated and the secretary of the regional organization
    said we were the first person to ask the question. Yes, it
    was nominated.
    Also last spring during our written and verbal communi
    cations with Dr. Paul Lowman of NASA in Greenbelt, Mary
    land, who helped to review our photos, we discussed the as
    pects of animal mutilation.

    Re: LRN part 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Continued....

    We sent him a copy of the video and he admitted to us
    what he had the photo lab to re view the frames showing the
    actual cuts on the animals and the conelusions were a valid
    video on the subject existed in Howe's work. He urged us to
    investigate mutilations.
    Howe is near the finish of her book, An Alien Harvest.
    She is using some of our photos in the book in addition to
    10 Pages discussing the Hempstead County incident.
    She had asked us to contact her if a mutilation occurred
    in the region because past experi ences indicated this would
    hap pen. Then on March 10, 1989, it occurred.
    Apparently the Hempstead CoUnty Sheriff failed to under
    stand the issue, but a lack of communication created a prob
    lem from determining the ac tual cause of death. This could
    have helped in research in proving or disproving theories of
    what had occurred.
    Frankly a sheriff has a problem when he has unsolved
    murders. It's tough for a sheriff to explain to the fami
    lies of murder victims that he is taking time to investigate
    dead cows. But that's why in 30 years no evidence has been
    gathered other than saying predators or buzzards cause the
    cuts and drain the blood.
    As the Lonoke County Sher iff said, no evidence exists.
    He even doubts the theory of hu man cults because no other
    crime leaves no evidence.
    To a farmer and rancher, this is a crime which is costly.
    Howe offers the theory of government experimentation or a
    government cover-up con cerning the activity of UFOs in
    volved, It's only theories.
    But, regardless, cattle have been killed without a clue
    until now. Howe says her research indicates this may be a
    break through in finding out the type equipment which cut
    the cattle. It still doesn't mean anyone knows who or what
    killed the animals, but it's one step closer in the
    investigation process.
    We're not qualified to offer answers on mutilations, but
    it's a crime, regardless of who is doing it.
    The Little River News donated the photos to Howe meaning
    we received no money. The photos would sit in the files so
    when Howe asked, we decided to allow the photos to be
    published with the hope this will eventuallY lead to ad-
    ditional investigative material being developed in solving
    the problem.
    To the critics - this is a lot of work to sell a newspaper
    for 25 cents.
