The rather remarkable occasion arose
where it became necessary for the
Judge to fine man for stealing his
own pig but those who were in atten-
dance and were acquainted with the
facts surrounding the theft uphold the
court in his decision.
From the evidence brought out it de-
velors that employees on the farm be-
longing to Geo. H. Locke in Minnewau-
kan township picked up a pig that had
without notice and without permission
strayed off from the farm of it's own
er, J. F. Ray. Mr.. Ray, without going
through the customary formalities took
the pig from the pen in which it had
been tied and returned with it to his
home. The suit was brought as re,
suit and Mr.. Ray has been found guilty
of stealing his own pig.
The evidence further showed that
Ray had made somewhat of practice
of picking up stray cattle belonging to
his neighbcrs and holding them for
damages and was therefore believed to
be thoroughly familiar with the Estray
law. The case has been appealed.

NER MONTH FOR YEARS.

That the new weather man is making
a success of his job so far as getting
the precipitation wanted by the farm

ther station. During the month of

highest temperature was SO on the 9th
while the lowest was IL on the 9th.
The greatest daily range was on the

grees, while on the 4th there was q
movement of but three degrees. Ac-
cording to the report the total move
ment of the wind was 94S7 miles, the
average hourly velocity being 1872. The
maximum velocity was 81 miles per
hour from the Northwest on the l4th,
There were twelve clear days, an equal.
ly number of partly cloudy and six
