Pigs Testimony Wins Case in Court

away Shaw saw big hog with pecu-
liar spots on his leg that he recognized
as belonging to the sick pig of last
spring, and he claimed him. Evans re-
fused to give up the pig and suit was
brought. The court decided in favor
of Evans.
Then Shaw asked a rehearing of the
case and proposed to take the hog into
his feeding lot, where there was q
large number Of other hogs. He pro-
posed to go into the adjoining COW
yard and rattle tin dish. The owner
ship of the hog was to be decided on
whether 1t made a dash for the hole
in fence, far too small now to admit
Of its passing through.
All Quindaro gathered around Shaw's
hog lot to see the trial. Justice Pfaff
took station where he could see the
whole show. The pig was placed in
the lot with the drove Of hogs belong.
ing to Shaw, who then went into the
adjoining lot with tin pan in his
hand.
At a signal from Justice Pfaff Shaw
ratified the tin pan. The pig let out a
couple of kinks in his tail and started
for the hole in the fence on a run.
1t was barely big enough for the hog
to insert his nose, but he struggled to
get through and go to his old feeding
place in the COW yard. There was a
cheer from the crowd, even the Evans
faction joining, and Justice Pfaff
promptly reversed his previous ruling
and awarded the pig to Shaw.

MOVING PICTURES TEACH WAR

Moving picture shows especially de.
signed to foster patriotic and wariike
sentiments have been placed on view
in Berlin. The idea originated with
tho German Patriotic society whose
aim is 10 educate the people in the
matter Of tactics and strategy on the
battlefield and to make the object of
different movements of troops plain
to the lay mind. The first show was
a cinematograph demonstration of
How we won the day at Sedan,
with verbal explanations by two army
officers. Evidently it is not to Ger.
many that Andrew Carnegie must
look for support of his peace ideals.

WOULD LIE AWAKE ALL NIGHT
WITH ITCHING ECZEMA

Ever since I can remember I was
a terrible sufferer Of eczema and
other irritating skin diseases. l would
lie awake all night, and my suffering
was intolerable. A scaly humor set
tied on my back, and being but a
child, I naturally scratched it. 1t
was burning, itching sensation, and
utterly intolerable, in fact it was so
that l could not possibly forget about
it. 1t did not take long before it
spread to my shoulders and arms, and
I was almost covered with a mass Of
raw flesh on account of my scratching
it. I was in such a condition that my
hands were tied.
"A number Of physicians were call
ed, but it seemed beyond their med
4cal power and knowledge to cure
me. Having tried numerous treat
ments without deriving any benefit
from them, had given myself up to
the mercy Of my dreadful malady but
thought I would take the Cuticura
treatment as a last resort Words
cannot express my gratitude to the
one who created The Cuticura Mira
cles,' as have named them, for now
I feel as If I never suffered from even
a pimple. My disease was routed by
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and I
shall never cease praising the wonder
full merits they contain. | will never
be without them, in fact, I can almost
dare any skin diseases to attack me
so long as have Cuticura Remedies
in the house. I hope that this letter
will give other sufferers an idea of
how I suffered, and also hope that
they will not pass the 'Cuticura Life

train was Immediately stopped, but
the man was found to be wedged in
such fashion that it was impossible
to extricate him. A medical man de-
cided that the only possible method
Of eXtricating the man and saving his
life was by amputating one of his
legs. There was little light, but a
ring Of porters stood around holding
dim station lamps. In spite of the
cramped position in which the sur
geon was compelled to work and the
lack of light and appliances, the
amputation was quickly and success
fully finished.

SAVED BY ARTIFICIAL ARM

Buffalo the other week. While on his
way home, Joseph Loverick was sud

shouted: Money or your life. Hands
up!" Loverick complied with one
arm, but the other he could not raise
as it was artificial. Uttering dire
threats, the highwayman grabbed him
by the hand which he had not raised
and gave it a sharp wrench. That was
all that was necessary. The arm fell

OBITUARY

The death of Mrs. Annie E. Deet-
err. wife OF A. Deeter. occurred at
Pueblo last Sunday morning at
8 o'clock. Two weeks ago Mr..
Deter accompanied his wife to
Pueblo where she could have the
benefit of the treatment at Clark's
mineral springs. hoping by that
means to prolong her life. While
her friends knew she had been in
failing health for the past four
years her unexpected death came
as a shock to them and relatives
In this community where she has
resided for nearly twenty-five, years
Her body was brought to Lamar on
Sunday night and her funeral took
place from the Baptist church We'd
nesday afternoon and burial was at
Riverside cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Deter were among
the first settlers in Lamar. having
come here in 1885. and since that
time have been one of the most
prominent families in the commun-
ity. The deceased was born in
Miami county. Ohio. February 25.
1919, and was married to Mr..
Deter in 1857 at Marshaltown,
Iowa. She was a thrifty and in
dustrious woman and "looketh well
20 the ways Of her household" Her

Mrs. Deeter was a modest. reserv-
ed woman and unassuming woman

grandchildren and one great grand
child. Besides her own family she
