Poultry Stolen
On Saturday night last, some party who
thoroughly understands the mysterious
art Of robbing hen roosts, visited the
premises of Mr.. Geo. Banchoff, on Quarry
street and relieved him of the further care
of 90 choice chickens and 2 turkeys.
About IL o'clock last night, Mrs.
Thomas Branihan, residing on Quarry
street, this city, was awakened by mys
terious noises in her chicken coop. She
aroused Tommy, her husband, and he,
upon going to the door, discovered a
"chicken fancer " making off with two
chickens in his hands. A shout from
Tommy convinced the rascal that it was
best to get away as quickly as possible,
which he did before he could be over
taken. Upon examination it was found
that several of his chickens, ready to be
taken away, were outside of the coop.
Whether the thief had an accomplice or
not, is not known, but suspicious are rest
ing upon certain parties, and II found to
be true, they will sell no more chickens
for some time to come.
