The aow forced the boy to climb a tree to save himself, oral I lien charged Atterberry and his assistant The latter fell and the sow pounced upon him. Attcrbsrry then ran to the house got a gun. and as the sow was making for him shot her between the eyes. That ended the buttle, and Wollard sued for the value of his porker, getting the full • mount asked, the Jury holding that Al terherry could not plead self-defense in shooting the hog as long as there were trees In the pasture for him to climb an l jet out of langer.
