BEFORE The ,Squires.

On Sunday morning Jane Young, deni
zen of Baileytown, discovered that half-a
dozen head of poultry which she had in hel
roost the night before had disappeared and
left behind no word dofexplanation. Cropple
crown, Speckle-cock, Dickey-Richard and
all were gone and the roost that had known
them knew them no more. Mrs. Young
notified the different poultry dealers of hel
loss and gave them description of the
missing birds as she last saw them, re-
questing them to keep look out for ''sich. u
On Monday Mary Boyer, dusky damsel
with faded waterproof and a red and
white feather in her hat, brought to l.. l..
Cobb's poultry shop six fowls which al
though dead and divested of their clothing
bore strik ing resemblance as to age, sex,
number and ear-marks to those Mrs. Young
had described to him, so he laid them aside
and sent word to the bereaved one who
promptly appeared and identified the stiffs
as those of her flock Esquire Goforth was
applied to for a warrant which was issued,
and Tuesday morning Constable Coles
chartered Crothers' best rig and driving up
to Marys residence invited her to take a
ride, to which she
swearing she would ne'er consent
At last consented
Being informed of the grave charge laid at
her door she denied the soft impeachment,
and called uponJ. w. While to assist in sat
isfying the court of her innocence. Time
was called on the case about ten o'clock
on Tuesday, and after hearing some testi-
mony further hearing was postponed until
eight O'Clock in the evening to procure the
attendance of other witnesses, and mean
while Mary was placed in the lookup for
safe keeping. In the evening the hearing
proceeded, and Notwithstanding the siren
uous efforts of her counsel who almost
succeeded in making the court believe that
the chickens brought to Cobb's were III
reality crows the Squire at about 1 T. NJ.
ruthlessly held the defendant in 800 bail
to answer at court. Thomas NJ. White be-
came responsible as her surety, and she de-
parted to breath the free air of Baileytown
until January court.
On Wednesday morning Townsend Green
had hearing before Justice Holmes ON a
charge preferred by John c. Reeves of find
ing and appropriating to his own use the
roll of notes which, it will be remembered,
was lost by Mr.. Reeves boy in July last.
The evidence was that Green was at the
place where the boy claimed to have lost
the notes at about the same time. and that
about a week later he brought to his en-
ployer, VIM. Fox, ten dollar bill to be
changed, which was similar to one of the
notes in the package lost by Mr.. Reeves.
This note he said he got of Stratton Mitch
ell. who had given it to him to get changed
but Mr.. Mitchell told Mr. Reeves that he
had given him five dollar instead of a ten
| dollar note On the hearing, however, Mr..
Mitchell stated that his previous statement
was wrong and that it was ten dollar
| note that he had given Green. AS to the
time the money was given to Green and
changed by Fox the witnesses did not seem
to be positive and the Justice discharged
the defendant The whereabouts of the
money remains as great mystery as ever.

One morning last week one of the pa
irons of the creamery whose name shall not
be divulged by us under penalty of death,
drove up to the receiving window of the

wagon containing, as he supposed, his
usual quota of milk. Blithely bestirring
himself he removed the lids from the cans
and was about to lift them in to the receiver,
when 10 they We're empty and the
worthy granger bethought himself that he
had left the full cans standing at home and
brought with him the empty ones. Ifyou
say anything to him about it when you see
