mistaken identity came up in Judge
Smiths court at Condo. William Nc
Cartney tool up a stray hog. E. J. An

Mccartney, identified the hog and took
it home. But Alfred Koenigs also had
lost a hog, and when he heard of the

Anderson's place n claimed the hog
as his own. Then the men went into
court and the jury, after hearing all the

the hog to Koenigs. The witnesses for
both men described the hog owned by
Koenigs and the one owned by Ander
son in precisely the same terms and
neither man accused the other of try
ing to secure possession of a hog he
did not own, and one SIG swine is still
presumably at large somewhere.
