Turlow, of Bandon in which ho tolls the story of a famous "Coos county Hoj? case" which u good many of our readers pro bably do not remember, it dates back many years. At that time Geo. M. Brown, now a republican candidate for attorney general, had one of his first cases, being retained to defend n man named Hooch who was charg ed with stealing a hog from a party named Sitcum. The prosecuting attorney was a lawyer by the name of Lipscomb, a henvy weight tipping the beam ut 300 pounds while Brown was a feattier weight at 110. The cause of the trouble was a dun sow. It appeared that Sitcum, tho owner of the creature, had purchased her tho afternoon just precccding ' the evening she was stolen by Hooch. Sitcum, it appeared, had not the dun ; animal's bungalow built yet to re jceive her, so he loft her in the crate ! she arrived in, and on the evening of 1 it wa charged, went to the prem I isesof Sitcum with a six shooter on or about his person, and then and force, abduct, take, steal and cary away one dun sow,contrary to her wishes and well being, and agaiist the peace und dignity of every hog own- or in Coos county. Now the comftablo had found the hog in the yard of Hooch, still in the original package received by Sitcum We, the jurors went out and viewed the hog. She was in a crate being tlip crate being in a high sided wagot so about all we could see was along the top of her back. We viewed the hog. Sitcum identified her as hit property, in the jury's presence, giv ing her age, sex and previous condi tion of servitude. While there view ing the hog, George M. Brown ask tO the fonnan of our gallant six t mark the Exhidit A so we woult know the hog again. Tho lordlj district attorney usscnted. During the trial Brown oven when the mos positive evidence was being relatc against his client, merely smiled and the only questm he asked Sit cum was tho sex of the hog, and Sit cum swore tho animal was a du. sow, eight months old and that hi had looked over a herd of hogs be fore purchasing the sow. In closing address Attorney Lis comb did himself proud. He gav us jurors an address on hogologj commencing at the dawn of creatio, tlionco to tho swine of the Holy Lan the r,azorback of the sunny sout and to the long snootcrs of Arkan saw, and wound up in a tearful touching story of the night of th terrible crime when thunder boom cd, lightning flashed, and rain descet. ded in torrents, and in the darknos. came tho defoliant, Hooch, a lantcn in one hand and a determination to steal a hog in the other. Ho told o tho trip the poor dun sow had up the muddy pike that stormy night in whoelborrow pushed by a cross-eyei man. When Liscomb ended his addres-j I folt we could reach no verdict other than guilty. I am sure all who herd the trial concurred. But we hnd an other guess comming. George M Brown arose and asked the court to discharge tho defendent, Hooch, as as all the evidence givon in the court proved Hooch was not guilty and the original complaint also bore out this statement. Brown then in vited the judge to go and inspect the hog with him. The judge did so, and the mark left by the foreman of tlfe jury was on the hog's ear. But inspection proved this was not at all the poor unprotected dun sow of the trial, but a dun swino unmistakably masculine. So it came to pass that the judge discharge d Hooch, as all the evidence showed, as did the complaint, that Hooch had stolen n dun sow. Brown had bus pected tho true state of tho case and made a thorough examination of the hog privately before tho trial. Co quillc Sentinel. To the Democratic Voters.
