Stole u POrker.

Between nine and ten o'clock Tuesday
night officers Sergeant and O'Malley
saw a couple OF negroes walking in the
middle OF the road near Eighteenth
street and Washington avenue. One OF
the negroes was carrying something in a
sack, and their conduct was such as to
raise suspicion in the minds of the Off.
GERS that they were guilty OF some Of
tense. The darkies were ordered to halt,
and at first refused to do so, but when a
couple of revolvers were lev
eled on them they stopped.
On examination the sack was
found to contain good sized shoat'
weighing perhaps fifty pounds. Though
dead the pig was still warm, and from
appearances had been killed by a blow
with Hub or stone. The darkies could
give no satisfactory explanation as to
where they got the porker, and were ar
rested and locked up In the county Jail.
The pig is now on exhibition at the
court h)use, and the owner Is requested
TO come p and identify the same. 1t
is black and white spotted, with two
| Sits in cue of its ears.
