CHICKEN THIEVES AT WORK. The
neighoOrhOOd in South Washington between
b aud ID and 10Th and 18th streets has the
reputation OF being so quiet and orderly that
the police do not see the necessity of patrol
Ing the streets there at night, which fact
seems to have become known To the chicken
thieves and burglars. WCdnesday pight
they visited the house of Mr.. Anderson, on
IL, between 18th and 18th streets, and took
everything In the yard that they could carry
away. Last night they again made q visit
there and took his market basket and sew
eral cooking utensils and other implements,
after which they scaled the yard fence OF
Mr.. Charles i. SANFORD, on 18th street, and
carried OF six valuable chickens, stripped
young peach tree Of all the fruit within
reach, took some clothing, and escaped
through the back gate, leS wing IL open. II is
singular fact that Messrs. Anderson and
Sandford are the only persons within several
squares around this vicinity who do not
keep loaded muSkets in their houses ready
for these fellows. Several housekeepers
ready for use. 1t is TO be regreti ed that they
did not invade the premises OF these gentle
men. Inc police would do well 10 keep a
lookout on the back premises about the To-
cation named.
