rather a record of series of facts.
5. ]. Tribolet viii shortly have on
sale, perhaps as early as today, the
most luxurious ham ever seen in these
parts. In comparison with il the best
and most expensive Westphalian ham
is cheap and common. And yet, only
day ago this was a ham of no special
pretensions. 1t is a component part
! of no hog of aristocratic lineage nor
was there anything in the original
preparation of it for the market pre-
moDitory of the excellence which was
destined to attain. Notwithstanding
all the expense which has been Law
ishedupon it to bring it to its present
/ state OF perfection it will be dis
| pensed to the customers of Mr.. Trl-
bolet at the price charged for plebian
hams.
A technical description of the cur
ing process which has been applied TO
this ham win be OF interest TO the
average householder. And it is well
to begin at the beginning.
Until a week ago there was in the
| employ of Mr.. Tribolet an expert meat
carver by the name of Fred Hutter.
Mr.. Hutter, though he understood his
business, was not a congenial soul.
That is, he was not recognized by Mr..
Tribolet as an affinity and so was dis
charged. He was paid to date, In full
IS his receipt shows, though he after
ward complained that there was a
small amount yet due him and that
he intended to collect it to the intense
pain and surprise of Mr.. Tribolet.
Yesterday morning little girl call
ed at the Tribolet meat market and or
| dered Fifteen cents worth of steak
| and small ham to be sent to an ad-
| dress which she gave. The goods
were dispatched G. o. D. to the adj
dress which was known to the meat
market as the place of abode of re-
| sponsible customer.
A lady met the delivery wagon and
received the consignment. She started
away and when the driver called TO
her demanding $2.45 she paid no at
tention but Just then Mr.. Hutter ap-
peared athwart the horizon and jeered
and insulted the driver, directing him
to tell old TriboIet that their accounts
were now in balance.

/ il the morning and Mr. Tribolet
knocked off his ordinary vocation and
| began to devote himself TO the recov-
cry of the ham. Until O'Clock last
night he abstained from all other
forms of labor and amusement and
| even from his meals, his entire atten-
ton being glued to that ham
| He first sought the arrest OF HutteT

/ bezzlement, but neither of those com
! plants would lie. 1T was thought
later that Hutter might be handled
| for obtaining goods under false pre-
| lenses, but it was afterward learned
| that he had nothing TO do with the
1 ordering of the ham and nowhere did
| he appear to be involved in the deal
unless it was in the maliciously joy
/ full remarks he had made to me
! driver.
Mr.. Tribolet finding nothing in he
! penal code that offered relief turned
to the civil side and determined to
sue Hutter and get out an attachment
1 Sc: h.: :::S.A I..stiee Inl.n-
stone tried 70 diesnada him showing
him that the costs which he would
! probably have to pay would equal the
| price of many hams. Mr.. Tribolet
replied that he had reached that stage
of the proceedings at which he cared
nothing about the costs. He was
after the ham; it was worth 81 600 20
| him if it could not be recovered for
less.
Along in the afternoon he went TO
Armstrong G. Lewis and ordered them
| to get that ham and send him the Oil.
| A few minutes later e. W. Lewis filed
a complaint, an affidavit and an at
/ tachment bond, remarking, "Tribolet is
/ bound TO get that ham, Mr. Tribolet
! had in the meantime given up his de
signs on the steak for it was after
/ dinner.
Justice tombstone issued the attach
ment and putting it into the hands OF
Sheriff Hayden enjoined him to bring
/ the ham IL 1t was still in existence,
If not, to bring back the ham-bone
and perchance the skin, for it was not
at all likely that either of them had
/ yet succumbed to the appetite of Mr..
/ Hutter.
At this point OF the description OF
the curing process, it should be made
known that Mr.. Hutter has no home
4 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 Mr.. Hut
ter at home. He opened a converse
tion relative to the ham and MIR. Hut
ter denied that it was yet intact. The
officer looked about and found a cou-
pie of trunks which Hutter said be
longed to him and his wife. The Of
ficer took charge of them and dragged
them out of the house preparatory 70
carting them away He had a dray
with him and also Mr.. Tribolet who
had come IN the capacity Of pilot.
Just os the trunks we're about to be
lifted into the dray, Mrs. Scheff re-
turned and demanded an explanation
of the disturbance of things about the
premises She said the trunks be-
longed 10 her and to prove her propri-
etorship sat down on one of them.
Mrs. Scheff IS OF an avoirdupoise
which rendered that trunk immovsbIe.
In the meantime Hatter saw Mr. Tri-
bolet and created a diversion by at
tempting to assault him with a poker
