County Recorder in Iowa Dismembered by Porcine Brutes.
    The body of former County Recorder J. P. Suttman of Grundy County was found in a hog pen at Grundy Center, badly mutilated by the swine. He had attempted to clean the pen, had fallen in a faint and the animals quickly stripped off his clothing and had made the face an unrecognizable mess. When Miss Suttman found her father’s body it was partly dismembered and was being dragged by the hogs through the offal of the pen. Suttman left a large family in rather poor circumstances.
