Reducing Her Weight.
Mr.. George Leech was in Yorkville
and reporter ask ed him about Mr.. Nor
gan Leech's big hog Fannie, which won
the second prize in The News and Cou-
rier's contest some months ago. He said
that since January the pig has not had so
much as bnshel of corn. She is now In
the pasture making her living by picking
grass. An effort is being made to reduce
her weight; but it seems to be rather
slow business, as she appears to have
fallen off but little. Her eyes are closed
up by the fat that was put on her last
winter and she is still unable to see. Mr..
Leech thinks that should he make the
attempt this fall he could increase the
weight of the pig to something like sOO
pounds.

seriously hurt last Monday by dynamite
cap exploding in his hands. Both hands
were badly injured. The ends of both
thumbs and two or three fingers were torn
off. His physician, DR.. Alexander, thinks
that two or more Of the fingers will have
to be ampatated. A piece OF the cap
struck him under the chin and another
in the breast. Neither Of these wounds is
serious. The little fellow and some other
children had found the cap about the
house and applied match to it to hear the
noise it would make.

q preliminary hearing before Magistrate

ented by D. E. Finley, ESQ.,, and the
prosecution was represented by j. 5.
Brice, ESQ. Garrison had nothing to say /;

his being sent up for trial. The jugs, with
their remaining contents, were recovered;
after the preliminary, it developed that
Garrison had sold one gallon of his prize
to Sam Jeter, colored, for $l.25. He will
probably also be prosecuted for violation
