Hog May Not 'rrespass.

Chief Justice Ailshie Of the supreme
court of Idaho makes the following
comment in Fall Creek Sheep COM
pany vs.. Walton on the effect of q
statute gelating to trespassing hogs:
"The man who drew the amendment
made swine an exception in the laws
Of Idaho from all other kinds of tres
passing animals. So now when that
cloven-footed quadruped Of ancient no.
toriety goes foraging beyond the pro-
tecting care Of the swineherd he at
once loses his character as domestic
animal and becomes ferae naturae,
subject to capture by anyone on whose
premises he may at any indiscreet mo-
ment find himself. or course the hog
doesn't care much about his char
acter; he would ordinarily just as soon
be treated as q wild animal as to be
treated as if he had been domesti-
Gated for centuries. His fate is gen.
orally about the same either way"
