ROAMING RUMORS
i
Riff-Raff Round
ed up by The
Rep orter Rep-
resentatives in
their Rambles...
"It was the Fiercest tight I ever saw.
"1 have seen many a vicious bull
Killed in the arenas ol Mexico; I have
seen ferocious lions pitted against the
wild steers of Chihauhua; I have seen
the novor-Illnchlng bulldog thrown In-
to the cage with tho doughty badger
asd I have even had the opportunity
of -witnessing a fight to thd death be-
tween two enraged buck deor but this
was the znost merciless onslaught up-
on animal flesh I ever saw.
"Anil ihls bloody encounter was
fcelwteen two hogs. One was a big
fd sow I'll v bet she would weigh
lor hundred jponnds and she had
tskB like tin Afrlcan'wlld boar. She
as rooting up my chip pile and I
tioasht X would run her away. So I
gr&hbea up a long polo from tho wood
file and made for her
"The wood pile rested upon tho crest
of an embankment and was supported
hy stakes driven into the edge of the
suae. Behind It was a sheer drop of
aboat twenty feet to tho road below.
Tke old sow in her hurry to escape
the threshing that she was surp was
flooring to hor ran over the wood pile
awl pitched headlong to tho road on
the other Bide
MA big shoat widening about two
hundred and fifty pounds was rooting
away Jn the road at tho timo and the
oW sow lt right on top of him. Gee
tmt tt mado him mad! Ho was knock-
ed out for an Instant but whan he
usg up ho enmo with fire flashing
from IiJh eyea and foau opzfns from
his jowls. So vicious was his on-
lwg;ht on tho cause of his nngor that
th Utter was nt first bewildered.
"Then the old spw recovered from
her iMirsrlse and the fight was on for
ten. It Old not take long hpwevor
fer the largor of tho two animals to
yet the smaller on tho defensive and
loon tho about was tearing up the
KmhI Jb Ignominious flight. But ho
kjf ot to escape so easily. The old
low hd her lvo up and.Bhe was go-
Mfto fight even if she had to qhnso
her aftponent to do It
""Ati the way she went after that
heft vh sickening. She would leap
pw alp back an4 with those awful
fjahs vmU tar hi flesh front ahoul-
er to hip cuttlnu Mt gaahtw from
which the blood spurted in fountains.
She would set those great white teeth
in his back close up to the neck and
his own flight would do tho rest. It
seemed to mo that they must have
been set almost two Inches Into tho
fleali and as he ran his squeals' of
pain sounding almost like human
screams of terrible torture those en-
ameled knives of bone cut great gash-
es through his back until his hip bones
would glance them off.
"Although it takes much longer to
tell this what I saw-had lasted not
longer than two minutes when the
poor shoat dyed red with his own
blood disappeared over a knoll tho
unforgiving merciless old sow still
in revengeful pursuit
"And then I woke up."
