SMITH’S PRIZE-WINNER DIES.

B. L. Smith of near Sharon lost his big 700 pound boar a few days ago. The hog won prizes at the state fair and at the fat stock show at Chicago last week, and was a valuable animal, report saying that Mr. Smith had refused SBOO for him. Ho was brought home from Chicago apparently in good condition, but it is likely that the handling him about caused some injury, for Wednesday night he died.
