Middle Ga Argus
A Bold Thief

Some bold thief, or thieves, went to Dr. Mapp’s hog pen on Thursday night and 
stole a fine hog.   Dr. Mapp heard the hog squeal and got to the pen just after 
the thief had left with his booty.  He was tracked by the blood into the 
southern part of town but the culprit could not be spotted.  This is certainly 
a bold transaction, and such a man should be hanged.  On the same night an 
attempt was made to kill one of Mr. T. J. Dempsey’s fine porkers but after 
cutting the hog’s throat in a fearful manner was frightened away.  These 
deadbeats should be apprehended and put where the dogs can not find them.
