CHICKEN STEALING. Ripley and
Charles Roam were arrested Saturday night
by officer Frazee and local officer May. The
men had in possession o rooster, which Rip
ley admitted he stole, but couldn't tell where
from as he was too drunk Roam denied hav-
ing anything to DO with the theft, and Rip
ley says he alone is guilty. As many chicken
roosts have been robbed lately, the officers
desire to have the chicken now on hand iden-
tilted, and reports of lost chickens sent in,

and in this case especially Co know what
charge to make against Ripley-whether
burglary or petty Larceny.
