According to Mr. Fry’s state- ment, the small pigs were born but a short time ago and had just begun to run at large. When the smallest of the litter became entangled in the fence Mr. Fry said he went to its aid, paying no attention to the old sow near by. 3efore he cold protect himse!f she rushed him and bit the hand as he reached down to pull her young one from his predicament. He said the sow fought him vic- iously and but for his speed in getting over the fence away from her, he might now have been minus one or both of his legs. Mr. Fry was immediately rushed to Cottonwood and the injured hand was treated by Dr. Orr. Monday morning he went to Spokane and the Spokesman- Review of Wednesday had the following to say regarding his condition : “The condition of E. G.
