was found upon his premises, but he

He acknowledged having the hog and
killing IT, but insisted that he bought
the hog from another negro, who rep
resented It as his own. Judge Graves
inquired II be could 'bring that other

somewhat doubtfully. The old judge
then answered to Austin that he must

A day or two afterward Austin drove

negro refused TO accompany Austin &c

OF course II caused an immense sen

was talk Of impeaching the judge and
Of hanging Austin, But nothing after
all was done about II, and the matter
was allowed 10 drop.

fence was an open pasture.
The wolves quickly followed the
calves through the fence, and were rap

loud below, hoisted her tail and
started for the rescue.
