lad made to the driver.
 Mir. Tribolet finding nothing in the penal code that offered relief turned 10 the civil side and determined to sue Hutter and get out an attachment for the ham instead. Justice Johnstone tried to dissuade him, showing him that the costs which he would probably have to pay would equal the price of many hams. MT. Tribolet replied that he had reached that stage of the pro- ceedings at which he cared nothing about the costs. He was after the ham: it was worth sl.O0o to him if it could not be recovered for less.
 Along in the afternoon he went to Armstrong & Lewis and ordered them to get that ham and send him the bill. A few minutes later E. w. Lewis filed complaint, an affidavit and an at ;achment bond. remarking. 'Tribolet is bound to get that ham," MT. Tribolet had in the meantime given up his de signs on the steak for it was after din ner.
 Justice Johnstone issued the attach ment and putting it into the hands of Sheriff Hayden enjoined him to bring the ham if it was still in existence. IT not. to bring back the hambone and perchance the skin, for it was not at all likely that either of them had yet succumbed to the appetite of MT. Hut ter.
 At this point of the description of the curing process, it should be made known that MT. Hutter had no home of his own but lives at a boarding house maintained by a Mrs. Scheff.
 Deputy Sheriff Olea was sent with the attachment and he found Mir Hut ter at home. He opened a conversa- ton relative to the ham and Mir. Hut ter denied that it was yet intact. The officer looked about and found a couple of trunks which Hutter said belonged to him and his wife. The officer took charge of them and dragged them out of the house preparatory to carting them away. He had a dray with him and also MT. Tribolet who had come in the capacity of pilot. Just as the trunks were about to be lifted into the dray. Mrs. Scheff returned and de- manded an explanation of the disturb ance of things about the premises. She said the trunks belonged to her and to prove her proprietorship sat down on one of them. Mrs. Scheff is Of an avoidupois which rendered that trunk immovable. In the meantime Hutter saw MT. Tribolet and created a diver sion by attempting to assault him with a poker. This gave Deputy Sheriff Olea an opportunity to drag the trunk out from under Mrs. Scheff and throw it into the wagon. The other was has, filx- rhrnyyn in and tho driven off. A very essential feature of the curing process has been omitted up to this point The ham, too, was recovered under the attachment. The deputy sheriff not believing the story of Mir. Hutter as to its non-existence rummaged about the house until he found it, before removing the trunks from the domicile.
 The ham and all the other products this legal chase are now at the office, of the sheriff awaiting the finishing touches which will be applied today. In the evening Mrs. Scheff establish ed telephonic communications with the offices of the justice and the sheriff and finally admitted that her interest In the trunks was not proprietary but that she had a claim on them as se- curity. She was assured that such a claim would precede that of MT. Tribo- let MT. Hutter later called and said that he rather regretted that things had taken the course they had and that he had become convinced that his was not the best way to settle a dis puted account. He said he would place no further obstacles in the way of MT. Tribolets possession of the ham; he would even assist him in defending his title to it.
 So. after the most strenuous days work in which he had indulged for sometime, MT. Tribolet found time to get a bite to eat before going to bed wearied but triumphant man.
