SPEND $500 OVER $8 HOG
Kentucky Mountaineers, After Long
Litigation Over "Razor-back,” Or¬
dered by Court to Divide Costs.
Hazard, Ky.—After years of litiga¬
tion, involving expenses aggregating
a hundred times the value of the
property at stake, the locally famous
“Amis-Combs hog case,” being a case
in which two mountain neighbors
agreed to submit their differences to
a jury, has resulted in a “dog-fall” in
the circuit court. The hog was val¬
ued at $8 at the beginning of the suit,
but is now deceased. The court costs
amount to a trifle over $500 besides
the attorneys’ fees. Two verdicts have
been awarded at different times and
the last action was concerning the
cost. The court decided that each
side should bear Its own.
Court Upsets Coin Flip.
Watertown, N. Y.—Despite the fact
that A. R. Peac<3ck and Gilbert Raf¬
ferty, New York millionaires, flipped a
coin to decide who should own a valu¬
able piece of summer resort property
at the Thousand islands, which, as a
result, Peacock was to have free, it
was decided by a supreme court de¬
cision here that Rafferty owns the
land.
Both men are summer visitors at
the island, where Rafferty owns val¬
uable property. After giving Peacock
a portion for a boathouse, Peacock
asked for another section. The men
met in the Waldorf-Astoria, in New
York, and It was decided to flip a
coin to see whether Peacock should
pay $1,500 for the land or get it free.
He won.
The location of the land became &
question. Rafferty contending that he
deeded a piece of land not the one
which Peacock won by the flip. His
contention was sustained.
Jealousy Caused Act.
New York.—Dimitri Smirnoff, the
$1,200 a night Russian tenor, threw up
his job with the Metropolitan Opera
company because of "petty Jealousy
of Italian rivals.”

New Jersey Workman Has Swallowed
Brads for Years; X-Ray Discloses
Walls of Organ Covered.
Burlington, N. J.—Abraham Lecony,
a shoemaker at Delance, was taken to
a Philadelphia hospital suffering from
stomach ache. All the home remedies
failed to relieve him and the puzzled
doctors finally proposed an X-ray ex¬
amination. *
The light revealed about a hundred
brass tacks sticking in the walls of
the shoemaker’s stomach. He admit¬
ted that for several years he has
used his mouth for a temporary tack
box, while at work at his bench, and
said he remembered swallowing a few
brads at various times during the last
ten years. Surgeons say one section
of Leconey’s stomach has more tacks
in it than the sole of a boot.
It is hoped that an operation may
relieve him.
