HEN RoosT RoBBERIEs-FowL PLAY =
There was good deal of excitement in town
yesterday over the arrest Of Sam Portius, an
Engiishman who has lately been keeping a
small eating house and drinking saloon on
Carson street, on the charge of stealing
poultry. John Fiske. the plasterer, having
missed several hens from his coop, determined
10 find out who it was that had robbed him,
and suspecting Portius' establishment of
being the receptacle of the stolen property,
mission to examine Portius live fowls. The
latter denied Fiske the opportunity to make
|the desired inspection and Fiske went and
|swore cut search warrant. Acting unde
|this instrument, Fiske prospected around
the premises and found, buried under some
saw dust, three hens, freshly killed and vet
warm, which he swears are his property
|Portius was arrested and put in jail, but was
subsequently bailed out by Mr.. A. B. Dries
bach who did so, it appears, for the purpose
|of serving an attachment upon his effects.
As we passed the place last evening we dis
covered that it had been pretty much cleaned
but. We understand that Mr.. Driesbach
subsequently withdrew his name from Portius,
bond and that he was thereupon locked up
hgain to await trial to-day, at , o'clock, be-
fore Judge Mckeeby. This is pretty rough
ION the accused if he is innocent; but we
shrewdly suspect that whether innocent or
guilty, Fiskes action in the matter has
served to break up a most annoying and per-
eistent gang Of chicken thieves that have
lately been intesting the town.
