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 a tin pan In his
hand.
At a signal from Justice Pfaff Shaw
ratified the tin pan. The pig let out
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
cheer from the crowd, even the Evans
faction joining, and Justice Pfaff
promptly reversed his previous ruling
and awarded the pig to Shaw.
