About 40 hogs were guests of honor at a "hootch" party staged early last Wednesday morning on the ranch of B. s. Price near Marinette. During the party more than 50 gallons of very ripe prune juice and apricot mash was served and from all ac- counts of the affair the aristocrats of swineland had "swill'' time. The owner of the hogs claims that five of the animals died as result of inn bibing too freely of the alcoholic drinks served them and is now asking the board of supervisors to pay for the hogs.
 According to the story. Deputy Sheriffs Al Dewitt and Fred Meeks; Hughes Carr, special representative of the county attorneys office. and Constable Haze Burch mace a raid or the Price ranch early Wednesday morning, finding a still and about 10t gallons of prune and apricot mash After loading the still into their car they rolled the barrels of mash ou
 of a shed and poured the contents or l the ground. According to the off. cers, who tasted the mash. it va. heavily fermented and ready to run | in the still.
 The hogs at once fell to eating tn fruit and drinking the liquid iron
 the mash with the result that the.

became much under the influence of the alcohol. They staggered about the ranch yard squealing and biting each other- Some of the hogs became so tipsy that they lay down on their backs with their legs waving in the air.
 One of the hogs. according to Price, staggered into the pump house on the ranch and fell into the engine pit of the well. The fall killed it. he said. Four of the hogs. he claims. died as result of eating the mash. Deputy sheriffs stated yesterday that they had searched the entire vicinity about the Price ranch but were un- able to find the carcasses of the five hogs.
 Price presented his case to the board of supervisors yesterday and demanded that the county pay him for the hogs. He said he was in jail at the time and the officers also had
 arrested his stcp-son. SO that there was no one on the ranch to keep tho
 hogs away from the mash. He told the board that the mash in the bar
 rels was some gopher poison he wal
 mixing. but had not added the poisor
 to the contents of the barrels. Tn,
 board advised Price they would lool into the matter and decide what the, would do.

BARBER TOO QUICK
FOR LIGHTNING BOLT
Saves Customer by Tossing
Razor AUay.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 14.--Lightning.
accompanying one OF the most spec
tacular storms ever witnessed in At
lantic City, played hair raising pranks
about the city for half an hour to-
night.
When the storm ceased It was found
that the damage had been confined to
the destruction OF two chimneys, but
hundreds OF people reported nerve racl--
ing experiences and thrilling close calls.
Scores of persons, in widely separated
parts OF the city. reported seeing light
ming dart around the rooms in which
they were and even the stout hearted
quailed at the ear splitting crashes Of
thunder.
Most amazing OF all the stories told
OF the storm was that OF a patron In
barber shop who declared that the
razor with which he was being shaved
was knocked from the BARRIERS hand
and thrown against a wall with such
violence that 1t was broken. This was
later modified by the barber, who de-
clared that when he saw a fash or
lightning before his eyes, he feared the
blade might attract stroke and threw
the razor away with all the violence
he had. Then he knocked off work for
the day.

CANADA LAKE. N. Y. August i4.-A
porcupine that lives on the side of the
mountain near the camp of John l.. Rus
sell here. is so old and SO wise that he
can whip, and has whipped, every dog
around the lake except a giant beast
owned by q motion picture star. who is
passing the summer with Mr.. Russell's
family.
This beast staggers around under, and
so far has managed to survive the some
what homogeneous name OF Philip.
Philip is such a ferocious fighter that
the porcupine very wisely has made
friends with him instead OF trying to
fight him.
Emboldened by his mastery OF the
other dogs and his friendship with the
terrible Philip the porcupine recently
took to going down to the lake during
the daytime. It was noticeable that he
did his nightly foraging at other camps
and let that of the Russells strictly
alone. He became a rather familiar
sight about the camp and no one paid
any attention to him except to call him
Ignatz and shoe him away occasionally.
Ignatz made visit here one day last
week while Jack Russell, sixteen-year-
old son OF Mr.. Russell. was having tar
get practice with 20 calibre rife on
the beach with Reggie Scrfven, is. OF
Jamaica, who is here for the summer.
The two boys had a target stuck In
the ground and were shooting at 1t.
Tgnatz tumbled out of the brush onto
the beach just in time to spoil Reggie
aim. Reggie Immediately threw stone
IT Ignatz. Ignatz retaliated by turning
tail on to the target and letting fly a
