ALL ABOUT HOGS
Several Prisoners Who Had Stolen Pork in
Various Conditions.

Since the agents of the Humane Society Wis
tied the country beyond Benning in behalf of
the hogs that raised in that locality the
owners have constructed houses over their
pens and the dumb brutes have been protected
from the snow storms better than they were
ever protected before. Mr. William H. Lacey
is the owner of nearly fifty pigs, and his ami
mails were so well protected that the Humane
agents found 1t unnecessary to interfere. but
they were not protected against persons in the
neighborhood who found it more profitable to
sell their neighbors' hogs than to raise the ami
mails themselves Two hogs disappeared last
week and Policeman Gardner suspected "a young
colored man named Ernest Williams. Saturday
the young man was found on his way to mar
ket with the animals and Officer Gardner ar
rested him.
This morning in Judge Millers court the pris-
oner was tried. and il became necessary to iden-
tlfy the property One was a spotted pig with
bob tail That particular pig pet. and
when the pigs were found in Williams wagon
the bob tail pig was there Mr.. Lacey said that
Williams had boosted that he could kill pig
by knocking 1t in the head with hammer
That was the way that the pigs we're killed
Williams denied the charge and endeavored to
explain the number of pigs he had owned He
admitted that some months ago he was arrested
On a similar charge and fined $40.
The dead hogs were brought into court and
after the defendant was further questioned the
Judge advised Williams to raise his own hogs
and not his neighbours and fined him $40 or
sixty days The hogs were turned over to MT.
Lacey.
John Harris a colored man who il fond of
/ pork, selected sugar-cured ham for his Sum
| days dinner. and III the absence Of the neces-
sary funds he called upon MIR. Walkers box Of
hams and walked of with one. Judge Miller
recognized Harris as having been in court be-
/ fore and gave him six months in Jail
George Hawkins. another colored man who ID
| fond OF hog meat, selected some sausage for
his Saturday night supper, and as he was tax
! ing 1t from butchers wagon at the Center
Market Special Officer Miles arrested him. He
plead guilty 20 the charge and when called
| upon for an explanation ne said that a man
gave him the sausage. Sixty days.
| Hog meat was not rich enough for John H
/ Burkes blood and instead of looking into a
/ butcher wagon he went to barrel Of terrapins
belonging to Mr.. K A. Golden and took one OF
the sliders.

quired the judge Of the prisoner, who pleaded
guilty.

MIR. Meredith here is a quarter with your
name it." The person addressed was a
