At Kendall there is mystery as to
who stole Judge G. H. Francisco's
pork. In the morning, says the Key
stone, his daughter-in-law went out to
chop off little hog for breakfast the
lid of the box was standing open but
she saw nothing. For a moment she
stood in wonderment, and when she
peered into the box once more she saw
nothing again. Then in tremulous &C
cents she called the judge, and he also
peered into the box and saw nothing.
That made three times and out. The
open lid of the box, the inverted tub
which had stood on the box, and the
imprint Of very large overshoe tell
all of the story except what the judge
said, which is deleted.
