Stray hog, which owner can have
by calling on this writer, proving
property and paying expenses. This
hog has no noticeable marks or
brands, but is supposed to belong to
the Alabama, Arkansaw tribe. as it is
| of peculiar shape and form, having
ears that stand erect aid point to the
moon. very small eyes of bullet form
that look as though it would not care
to root down a mountain for kernel
of corn; snoot or nose that looks as
though it had started to grow about
the time of the food and had been
growing ever since. In short its
snoot is mighty in length. Its feath-
ers, or some would say bristles, are,
when erect still longer than its nose
and when dog comes near, it shows
fight aud its bristles are wonderful co
behold. It's legs which are four in
number two in front and the balance
behind, are double jointed and mighty
long resem bling long bean poles at
distance and being double jointed this
hog can run as fast backward as forl
wards. Tail it has none as we have
discovered, although it may have and
its long bristles hid it from our view.
The body of this hog seems to be long
lean and Iank and like its legs seems
to be jointed in the center. This hog
seems to be built for racer at long
heats. say fifty or one hundred mile
stretches. When taken up it was
thin in flesh and wore a weather
boarding on each side, L suppose to
keep the bones from going as the flesh
had. This is very remarkable hog
and might be a valuable kind to raise
in this country where corn is high
priced and hard to grow. We speak
for the owner when he gets this hog
to save the breed.
