\ MONSTER Pig.
The Proprietor Orihc Hotel Western
Has Il Remarkable Beast, Which
Weis hs 100 Pounds.

Edward krausr, the proprietor Of t he
Hotel Western, has a great curiosity in
hi. stable adjoining the hotel.
II is nothing more or less than Il pig,
uut the remarkable thing about this pig
is that it weighs 100 pounds, and is the
.arg"st pig in this part OF the country
and perhaps the United States.
Tie animal came here yesterday from
Wuodsidc, Del, and was purchased by
Mr. kanse at an enormous price. W hen
standing the beast is seven and onc-haf
feet long and measures six feet around
the body just back Of the fore legs. This
is about the same as an ordinary horse
would measure. When standing it is a
little over four feet high. The weight OF
this pig is over the average weight of a
horse.
Mr.. Krause intends in a few days to
invite the public to call and see this
wonderful animal, and after this he will
put it ON exhibition in different parts OF
the country and will no doubt draw
large crowds to see it.

of a scene enacted at public meeting.

thicf-in IA moment this unscntcnccd
crook had Bogls by the throat and in

attack; | was armed. | should have fhot
him dead; my courage failed me and |
went to his house that night to plead for
Peace"
1t is this sort Of thing that will come
out when Boggs returns to Delaware.
The minutia as to how Boggs robbed
the bank is an old story. He simply
jugglcd the books, had an 'easy bOss'
in The bank and one without mercy out
side.
Boggs was more sinned against than
SHINING,
As 10 the exact status Of the Dover
branch Farmers Bank in this Boggs
affair there can be no doubt about the
legitimacy of its transactions. As to
the story affecting the Georgetown
branch Of Mr. Bell will doubtless interest
himself enough, and at once, to prove
the assertion made in his very excellent
paper.
Mr.. James Mcgary who represents the
State Of Delaware in the management OF
the Farmers Bank said last night:-"l
don't know anything about the George.
town branch Of the Farmers Bank but
the Dover branch was in no way con-
cerncd in the transactions"
The fact remains that Sl06,OOO was
stolen from the First National Bank o
Dover by VIM. n. Boggs and seven Other

paid gu, upon checks presented at the
