Last Sunday morning Mr.. Charles, of
this village, went to feed his turkeys and
chickens. Having called them to him he
noticed that his cold gobbler'' was minus
a tail, and on closer examination he
found he was also minus young turkey.
He at once commenced a search for the
missing fowl, and at last found some
blood and feathers. He then called 4
couple of his neighbOrs, and together they
took the trail of blood, which was very
plain. In few minutes they had tracked
it to the backyard fence of a neighbor Iiv-
ing close by. At one O'Clock Mr.. Charles
concluded to get search warrant and see
if he could find his turkey. Mayor Busf
issued the warrant and gave it to marsha
Scott with instructions to execute it forth
with. The marshal then, with his depu
ties, went to the house, made known his
biz and began the search. In a few min
utes he had unearthed large meat plate
full of jashebled foael, also tin pan with
stewed chicken. He then arrested thu
man and took him and the remains of hi
dinner before the mayor. Mr.. Bush wa
not satisfied with what he brought, anC
sent him back again, and this time n
found in the stove some bones, which h
took before the mayor. A thorough ex
animation was then made of the things
after which the mayor opened the cas-
and took the testimony of several per
sons, from which he elected the follow
ing: First, that the meat in the tin pal
: was chicken; second, that the bones fount
in the stove came out of a turkey; third
that the meat in the plate was turkey
and after summing up the evidenc
he found that the prisoner at the ba
; was guilty of turkey slaughter. The pris
