The Pike County News,
A dispatch from Marion, North
Carolina, dated March 2nd., says:
‘‘Yesterday Mr. Noblctt, ofRuther
ford county, employed a negro man
to help him kill hogs. Last night
the negro stole one hog, and had
gotten some distance on his way
home, when, coming to a fence he
laid the hog upon the top rail, bal
ancing it until he got over. After
ward, in attempting to shoulder the
hog, it fell on the opposite side of
the fence, and the gammon stick,
which the negro had neglected to
take out, caught him around the
neck and fastened him. This morn
ing he was found dead, and the hog
on one side and the negro on the
other side of the fence—the first
gammon stick thatcverhnngndcad
hog and a live negro at the same
time.”
