Piggy row ends with arrest after hog intrusion
Seven years ago a hog chase on Pumpkin Creek led to O Rourk swearing a warrant against Hutchinson’s son, a trial at the bridge, and ten dollars in costs. A Norman stallion died at J A Carly’s near Lodge Pole from accidental entanglement, with a postmortem noting diaphragmatic rupture and small intestine injury. The Wyoming stage company will start Chadron to Deadwood coaches next month, with Sidney mail service continuing until July. A Ninth Cavalry private described Indian forces near Brule, claiming twelve to fifteen thousand attackers. A planned model building to be fireproof will soon rise, enhancing town and country access.
