p,ccYs MIND HARD 70 FATHoM,
Psychological Test Doesn't Show AMI
mails Ownershjp.

An experiment in social psychology,
with q pig as the subject. did not
bring results that were convincing to
one Of the alleged owners Of the pork
er, and a dispute over the animal,
which already has cost 500, appears
only to have begun.
It is alleged that Jake Lyon, a peace.
able farmer near Miller, went to the
hog lot of Charles Sanger, another in
offensive h~usbandman, in daylight,
and took away what he claimed was
one Of his strayed porkers.
Mr.. Sanger says he saw from the
field where he was working the do.
ings of Mr. Lyon and fastened to ad'
monish him, telling him to put the hos
back in the lot, which Lyon refused
to do. Sanger then drove to Miller
about thirty miles, and swore out a
warrant for Lyons arrest on the
charge of grand larceny. The sheriff
went after the accused and the time
was set for hearing the case. The
defendant moved that the matter be
arbitrated instead of being heard as a
criminal charge. The plaintiff wished
70 be lenient with his neighbor, and
agreed to the motion. The arbitrat'
ors picked by the litigants were Ed
5ilkins, banker: Barney Hagman,
banker, and Charles Buss, postmaster
and storekeeper, all Of Bockham.
A day was set by the disputing set
.lers to go out to the Lyon ranch and
see and take testimony as to the
rightful owner of the hog. 1t was de-
cided that Mr.. Lyon keep the animal,
and Mr.. Sanger be given IS. The de,
cision was so unsatisfactory to San
ger that he at once started for Miller
again to have the case opened for re,
plevin papers and now will try to get
The hog in that way. The case has
already cost the parties about 500,
and it has hardly got started, accord
tngto Mr.. Sanger.
1t seem that the arbitrators took a
novel way of determining the owner
ship of the hog. They turned it in
with the Lyon hogs to see If it was
acquainted. They then put it in with
the Sanger heard of swine, but the
psychological ties was not a convinc.
ing success, and those who ventured
an opinion on the merits of the ex.
pertinent we're regarded by the dis.
putants as rank nature takers"
