From the Dec. 29, 2015, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
From 1915, 100 years ago.
"A unique breach of the law reported today by Police Officer Sid Rowe. He was called to the foreign settlement on tenth Street by a report of a disturbance and found one of the families there just finishing the work of butchering a pig with all the accompanying squealing and uproar.
"He informed the foreigner, who could not talk English, that he was violating the law and warned him against a repetition of the offense but no arrests were made as the man was innocent enough."
Don't Kill That Pig, Now. --DaCoot
