THE HORSE-CAN BILL LiUGH?
a.. y. commissioner Alexander Asked for q
ptuiing TN the case Of the Henkei Tig

citation Appeals From Death Sentence.

citation Appeals From Death Sentence.
The Federal machinery was oiled up
and started full speed ahead yesterday
whom the William Henkel Republican
Association filed a formal appeal from
tho decision Of Commissioners Shields in
the case Of Marshal Henkel's pig. II will
DO remembered that the Commissioner,
sitting In the equity branch Of his imagi-
nation, issued an injunction against the
pig a few days ago, with the proviso that
the pigs throat should be cut until dead
II the injunction didn't work. Having
doubts az to the efficacy OF the injunction
and considering the throa cutting process
premature In view OF the fact that the
marshal has promised a pig roast in the
fall. the William Henkel Republican Asso-
citation decided to file the aforesaid appeal.
II is expected that the pig will continue
10 thrive on Federal radishes while the
appeal lie pending. In the meantime new
interest is added to the case blythe marshal's
desperate efforts to keep the inquisitive
animal within the confines OF Ronkonkoma.
Daily bulletins are sent to the William
Henkel Republican Association. The re-
sponsibility threatened to affect the serenity
Of the marshal's disposition until he hit
upon the idea Of claiming the pig by one
leg to a peg driven In the ground. The
marshal says that he himself got up at
$50 Yesterday morning to drive he peg
and the last thing he did was to give orders
10 J~ohn-John has already given notice
twice that either he or the pig must leave
Ronkonkoma- To carry an srmful OF
radishes to the pig every hour. This ia
expected to be the last straw for John, and
his irrevocable resignation is looked for
hourly.
When the marshal reached his Office
Yesterday he sent for the reporters and gave
out q s~tereotyped interview with himself
in which he said he was we'll pleased with
his early mornings work and confident
that the pig was something like stationary
at last. He is taking advantage Of his
temporary security TO concert a scheme
70 correct q bad habit that Bill has acquired.
70 take the marshal 10 the Ronkonkoma
station. The marshal used TO allow fifteen
minutes TO cover the mile and q half before
he became familiar with Bill ecoentricities.
but nov he allows forty-five minutes.
Bill makes an express run In fair weather.
Blu in the rainy season his madness comes
upon him..
Whether at home or in transit he insists
on eating what. when and where he pleases.
This has It's Inconvenience. Not long &
Bill was commissioned 10 take the marshal
and one OF the embryo marshals to a ball
game at Patchogue, The trip out was sue
cessful from the marshsl's point OF view.
but the trip back was a how ling success
from Bills. II rained. That was one nd
vantage for Bill. There were rtaoks Of
luscious new mown hay at convenient dis
tances along the highway, That was
another. Instead of devouring a stack and
filing up once for all Bill preferred 10 nibble
at each one. OF course II took time to
approach a stack with becoming dig
nifty and it also took time TO overturn
the stack TO find the choicest mouthful.
In the meantime II rained. When Bill
and the marshal's embryo marshal reached
the end OF the stacks they we're still some
distance from home. II then OCCURRED
to exercise after a hearty meal. Accord
ingly Bill stopped. The marshal also
stopped. The embryo marshal stopped
likewise. In short. everything stopped
except the rain. 1t continued TO rain. II
was a vet rain from whatever point you
looked at IL. Bill was probably the least
put out by it Of any one. He didn't show
any excitement even when persuasion
was ussd simultaneously front and rear
He SEEMED To enjoy the stimulation. The
situation was finally relieved W hen a farmer
passed and the marshal made an agreement
whereby Bill was 10 be housed for the night,
az soon az he would condescend 10 move,
and in the morning brought home on the
inetalment plan. The marshal n the
embryo marshal pedometered 10 Ronkon-
koma.
At this point the stereotyped interview
anne TO an end. When the reporters had
gone the marshal hurried round to Com
missioner Alexander office.
