HOMIKG INSTINCTS OF SOW
HELPS DEFENDANT IN SUIT
MMMM MMZ HQMkG MSIh
OWNERSHIP OF PIGGY FIGURES
IN CASE WHICH IS SET
tiled BY JURY.

The hOmlng Instincts OF one old
SOW played an important part In de-
Gliding the lawsuit of ]. II. Ferguson
VS. Sam II. Thompson tried out in
the circuit court yesterday and today
and which resulted In a verdict for
the defendant. The jury went out
Roon after II o'clock this morning
ond after celebrating but little over
a half hour, returned with It's verdict.
The case involved a dispute over
the ownership of one brood SOW and
two barrows. Testimony was intro
duced by both sides to show that the
decision at one time was left to the
SOW herself The dsputants agreed
10 turn the animal out Of the Thomp-
son pastures to see whether she
would stay there or drift to the Fer
guson ranch. She remained in the
road I'm front of the Thompson place
fol three days before she was finally
turned back into the pasture. More
over, testimony was introduced to
show that, after she had been taken
20 the Ferguson place once. she got
out and returned to the farm Of the
defendant.
However, the jury was not forced
to rely upon this evidence alone to
decide the ownership OF the animals &.
The defendant introduced as witnesses
employees and former employees TO
show that the hogs had been on his
ranch since pighood, that they bore
his marks and that the barrows were
further distinguished by the fact that
II cir tails had been frozen off like
ell Of the other members Of their
litter.
The defendant also put in testimony
10 show that Roy Ferguson, son oil
the plaintiff. had come to the Thomp-
son ranch and taken down a written
description OF the animals in ques-
ton and his attorneys insisted thai
this written description was used by
the plaintiff in his complaint rather
than his personal remembrance OF
the appearance Of the animals. A
telling point for the defendant was
the testimony OF v. Haden, former
employe Of the defendant, that Roy
Ferguson had offered him five dollars
to testify in his behalf. The plaintiff
rested his case on his own testimony
that of his wife and son Of former
employe, but the attorneys for the
defendant in their cross-examination
brought out wide discrepancies In
their statements as to the age. value
and other characteristics OF the anil
mails.
The case attracted a great deal Of
interest among reservation farmers
the courtroom being filled. ]. A. Fee
and Roy Raley represented the de-
fen1ant and G. W. Bailey and S. A
Lowell the plaintiff.

DEMURRER IN INDIAN
LAND CASE OVERRULED
(conunued from Page ~


Therefore. he states. he is OF the
opinion that the defendants are en-
titled to offer proof under the defense
they have outlined even though they
we're parties TO the alleged illegal
transaction. He declares the right OF
the defendants to set up the Illegal
ity as a defense even though they may
be alleging their own turpitude.
Judge Phelps does not think that
the document in the case was merely
a memorandum inasmuch as the par
ties themselves designated 1t as q
lease. "If 1t should be interpreted to
be merely a preliminary without sub
terfuge to obtain a lease or other
contract, authorized by law to be
made. and without a purpose Of vi
olating OF avoiding the federal stat
lte," then he thinks there would be
no violation Of the criminal statute
but that as a contract affecting the
land 1t would still be void. "As to
whether or not the lawful intentions
OF the plaintiffs can be considered by
a jury is a matter for future conhd'
eration."
