service but have attendants, who are ex-
pert swimmers 10 look after the Interests

 AUSTIN ROSS
 A HOG THIEF Watched the City Garbage Pile
 Where
  HOGS HAD DALI LY.GATHERlNGS Picking Out the Best Specimen. a Blow from an Axe and Sale to Barbecue Stand Melted Am Nice
 Little Sum-.
HOGS HAD DALI GATHERINGS

Austin Ross is very black negro who is not fond of work. Austin is with 1t an ingenious cuss. There is no reason for Austin to work, unless the persuasive pow CTS of Judge F'eagin intervene.
 Until few days ago the ebony hued Ross was making a profitable living by keeping his weather eye open and yielding an old rusty ax about twice a week and never more than three. His dream of listlessness was cut short by.a gentleman with brass buttons and blue coat The veal end there- of will probably come this morning when he is given an audience with his Honor Judge Feagin. -aN
 The tale of Austin's downfall is as fol- lows: There is trash pile near the Stand ard Oil company, where the city garbage is dumped. The festive hog makes daily visits to this locality. In apparent seclu- sion he roots among the pile for his daily bread.
 To this mecca of the swine herd Austin did he himself armed with an ax. In his minds eye he measured the weight of each hogship and the jucness thereof. The most tempting specimen in the bunch was likely to receive a blow -atsany moment Austin would then dress the hog and market him to one of the various barbecue stands
 The citizens living in the neighborhood soon began to miss their hogs and made complaint. The guilt was soon fastened on Austin, and he was arrested by Officer Disheroon. Officer Haygood worked on the case and said last night that they had two cases absolutely sure against Ross.
