He was brought bacck to the scene of his clime and identified by his vic tim. He was then carried into u field where brush and wood were piled about his manacled form and after gasoline had bee^i applied to his clothing and the wood was soon afire and it soon became vthe negro's funeral pyre.

The hog, which disappeared in October from 'Mr. Norris* place at Wedgefield was discovered in an old dry well Unit had boon eovcrcd up and out of use for some time. The hog was in a terribly emaci ated condition and showed ttyu effects of his long fast. Mrs. Norris said that she had been in the habit of throwing scraps and slops in this old well occasionally and this account.? in some measure for the hog beinu; able to. live this length of time. That he had not had much to cat in a long time is attended to by his condition. He weighs around fifty pounds now while his brothers and sisters running around the yard will scale well over a hundred. The latest report is that the hog is taking nourishment at fre.tp?'< nt in tervals. and his condition is said to be very satisfactory.
