HOG THIEVES VISITED THE LON COLTON FARM.

Knock Three in Heads and Hani Them Away, Leaving No Cine More Than Footprints in Snow. * - Last Friday night Lon Colton, who lives on the Henry Amsler farm near Pleasant Ridge, had a visit from hog thieves. They were not heard during the night, but in the morning when Mr. Colton went to feed the hogs he found that three of them were gone. He looked around and found that they had been driven to the east end of the hog lot, knocked in the head, thrown over the fence and hauled away. There was no way of tracking the thieves. From the footprints in the snow there were evidently two of the thieves.
