HOW A PIG BROKE" A FARMER
Lively Fight Over Porker Between Two
Farmers In Dakota.


up in the Dakota town of Grafton, I"
said WI Il, Sterling, traveller, at the Hon.
man House, yesterday, is a rusty axe
which represents an expenditure OF $26S S.
1t originally cost 80 cents and now adorns
or did not so very long ago, wall in the
office of the Justice of the Peace, a me-
mento of the folly of some kinds of legal
battles. Underneath 1t is this legend: I
cut "A pig and broke a farmeI>'
Two farmers lived on adjoining quar-
ter sections near the outskirts of the
town. Once they were friendly, but the
episode of the axe broke up all such rela-
tons, and one was compelled to move
away
Farmer Bill Williams had pig that
could generally find nothing better to do
than to encroach upon the kitchen garden
of neighbor Haskin. A post fence ran be-
tween the two houses and Haskin's gar
den was within small light fence enclo-
sure Haskns protested mildly at first,
but finally relations became strained and
he warned IBill' ono day that the next
time he found the pig in his Enclosure he
would confiscate it, But Williams laughed
at him. Two or three days later Haskin
caught the pig in his bean patch. He
made for the animal and caught it by the
hind legs as 1t was going through a hole
in the fence. Williams rushed out of the
house and managed to catch the squealing
porker by the forelegs One jerk aud Has
kin had it, but Bill reached over the
fence which stood about four feet high,
and got another grip on the animals fore
legs. Then began the tug of war, 10th
men pulling at the pigs legs What with
'cussing back and forth and the pig 5
squealng there was terrible commot.on.
The pig stretched taut was in a fair way
of being torn apart, when Haskin's son
came out of the house, and seeing 'Bill's'
axe on the woodpile, jumped the fence and
seized it with presumably murderous in
tent.
"Cut the pig, Si" yelled Haskin TO his
son. 81 ran up with the axe aloft and let
fly As luck would have it, the porker' s
body was directly over a post Well, the
blade came down and cut the pig clean IN
two The men fell over backwards, but
presently, each with half a pig in one
hand, was shaking his free fist at the 9TH
er across the fence and making threats.
ST had run into his fathers house with
the axe. Then their wives came out and
got them apart

shot.

ed Haskin. III beat you, and you don't

Now. up in that part of Dakota every
one can tell you of the celebrated case of
Williams VS.. Haskin. although 1t was
tried four years ago Williams brought
suit before a justice OF the peace for the
return of that axe Somehow the value of
half a pig was lost sight Of Haskn put
In bill for damages to his garden BY
the time the suit passed the County Court
and had gone against Williams, the costs
