TWO YOUNG MEN DROVE THEM INTO EMPTY HOUSE

--

Tied Their Legs, Threw Them Into Buggy and Drove Off-Who Saw Them Do It?

--

Robert McCardy, a farmer living about a half mile this side of the country house, is the owner of a fine flock of pigs about six weeks old, just the right age for roasters. Some two or three days ago, he informs the Argus, two young men drove by while the pigs were playing about in the road. Mr. McCardy was not present himself and did not see what happened, but an Ann Arbor man who happened to be in sight stopped at the house and told how he witnessed the driving of the pigs into an old unoccupied house by the road side and the capturing of two of them. The two young men in the buggy, so the beforementioned Ann Arbor man related, having captured the two pigs, tied their legs together, threw them into the buggy and drove away with them.

McCardy was told that the young men drove a white horse, attached to an open buggy with redwheels, rubber tired and red gearing  He would like very much to know who the man was who saw the capturing of his porkers. He says he does not expect to see the pigse again, still he is curious to know who got away with his roasters which he claims were worth from five to six dollars apiece. He suspects some students may have turned the trick as a bit of devilment, but he would feel better about the matter, if those who enjoyed the juicy roast would call and liquidate.
