DRIVING fat hogs up an icy hill isn't a sue
cess. 1t was tried yesterday and failed. AGAR
lond of big ones, that would dress 200 and up
wards was started from depot to place up
Town where it was proposed to pack them
They got along moderately well until they be-
gan to climb High street, above Danforth,
where the hill is steep and the ice smooth
Here the bottom dropped out of the experiment
The hogs were not sharpened for snch a walk,
though their appetites may have been. There
never was SO much pork spread before the
residents of that street since the town was di
vided. The trotters of one big fellow slipped
out from under him, and he fell on his side
with a heavy grunt and laid contentedly until
ha mic lrad of -, of
another went in different directions and he
looked like as if he was triced up for punish
ment. The thug got to be serious. The pork
would never get to market that way and the
clumsiest of the animals were in danger, so as
an Irishman would say, they cut their threats
TO save their lives and packed EN- on a sled and
hauled them to the barrels. Fashionable High
street was made slaughter pen of, and Grim
SON was the prevailing color. 1t was worse
than Linden at sunrise.
