John JacKman was released from ne

refused to prosecute him on the charge
of entering a freight car ana s-eailng
carpet, but he evidently intended 10
get back Just as quick as ne could Tor
he went at once to Scbad's slaughter
house and stole a half nog. Inc po-
lie were notified and soon had Jaekma1
in the tolls again.
Yesterday after noon he was arraign-
ed before Squire Riddle on the charge.
He put on an innocent look, and when
the squire said John, did you steal
the hog?" Jackman promptly answered
in the negative and further stated that
he had never stolen a thing In his life
How about thai crate of chickens we
caught you stealing from the Ohio
river road, said the squire. This kiAd
of nonplussed him, but he still persist
ed his innocence.
John. said the squire, If you did not
steal that hog, how did 1t get on your
shoulder"
well you see it was just this way,

slaughter house. when some che puo
the nog on me shoulder and says go er

The excuse did not seem pleus BILE
to the squire, and he gave him sixty
days in the county jail. Jackman did a
little figuring and then came to the
conclusion that more bad luck was in
store for him as he will be released
on the day before Christmas and will
miss the big spread in the jail.
