CASE ENDED AT LAST

London. March 12.-The famous pig

tention of the courts of Laurel county
for months, was decided by Judge Pen
nington. The pig was awarded to
Squire Nicholson. M. w. Tinchs ap-
piled for a new trial, and the case will
be taken to the higher courts.
Thirty-five witnesses testified, five OF
the most eminent lawyers in the.
mountains made lengthy speeches, and
the pig In contention was in the court
house throughout the proceedings.
Tinchs is the Louisville and Nashville
agent at Hazel Patch, and Squire J..
X. Nicholson is his neighbor. Each
owned a SOW and six pigs. The sows
ran together and the pigs followed
either SOW. Ten of the pigs lie and
both Nicholson and Tinchs claimed the
surviving two. The matter was taken
10 the courts for settlement.
During the litigation one of the pigs
was Killed by a train. The surviving

ton. as the pig had grown to be a
porker of 200 pounds. Hundreds OF
dollars were expended in court costs.

HUDSON SUFFERS
FROM ANOTHER
INCENDIARY FIRE
Second Fire in Elevator Caused
by Evident Attempt to
Burn the Town.

Hudson, S. ID, March 1.-THE Sec
n elevator fire I'm six weeks occurred
Monday night at 2 o'clock. when the
Reliance levator was found TO be on
fire, the fire bursting out through the
cupola a few moments after the fire.
was discovered. That the fire was of
incendiary origin is certain, for the
smell OF kerosene tainted the air the
minute the black cloud OF smoke burst
through the burning building. Six
weeks ago the first elevator in the row,
OF five such structures burned, the fire
being discovered at about 9 o'clock In
the evening, and II was thought at the.
time that this fire was of incendiaryi
origin II the citizens OF Hudson are
certain now that 1t was, for both fires
occurred when the wind was in the
northeast, which would give the flames
a clear sweep along the whole row of
elevators, and il is the evident intention
of some one to wipe them all out.
Quick, fearless work on the part of the
firemen saved the next elevator in the
row, the Tiedeman building. There
were 5000 bushels OF corn n oats in
the burned elevator.
