Summary: 

The narrative recounts the past event that seems to be the most recent basis for Cotton's enmity toward Houston, involving a hog that showed up at Cotton's "one October" and that he fed over the winter (158). When in the spring Houston claimed the hog was his, Cotton apparently took the case to court; the "one dollar" over the cost of feeding it that he was awarded seems to have precipitated his decision to kill (158).
