Hotel John butchered hogs Mon
day assisted by Chas. Edgington
and Floyd Allen. Having every
thing in readiness they proceeded
to the pen armed with a revolver,
butcher knife and ak. Unwilling to
trust their skill with the revolver
they decided to "shoot" him with
the ak. Hotel John, being the older
of the trio, was chosed executioner.
Well, I don't suppose there was
anything short about the ak handle
for he struck clear over the hog,
which of course threw him off his
balance and the boys found them
selves suddenly confronted with
the question, (which is the hog?"
Hotel John soon recovered and
with a loook of determination on
his face, again seized the ak. Ut
terly ignoring the shrill protest of
the sleek porker, he dealt blow after
blow with no visible effect except
the apparent shortening of Johns
breath. Seeing the uselessness of
his labor, he retired for refresh
ment and consultation. After 80
minutes counsel aud discussion of
plans, it was decided to drown the
hog. Twas the work of but a few
