Goat Starts Farmer In Fight With Pigs

1920

Butts Man Into Pen and Porkers Resent His Intrusion.

MONTGOMERYVILLE, Pa. — While gazing with pride at his pen of fast fattening hogs and dreaming fond dreams of juicy hams during the coming winter season, Gustav Stoney, who lives near here, was awakened from his reverie when a goat butted him over the rail of the pigpen among the pigs.

The porkers crawled all over him, and Stoney and the pigs gave vent to a medley of grunts, squeals and yells.

Finally, when the pigpen calisthenics were at their height, Stoney's son came to his father's rescue. He chased away the pigs, and Stoney, the elder, emerged. His clothing was torn and he was cut and bruised.
