told by gentleman from Cbicka-

Second. Whrn ] killed my hogs
the meat was assessed, aud again !
paid taxes.
Third. And now some one fearing
that it would again be assessed and
! be made to pay the third time,
broke into my smokehouse and car
ried all my meat away. He was a
little more considerate, however, in
some respects than the officers, in
that he didn't burden me with any
receipt"
