About 12 o'clock one night recently Ed ward Yarnish, German living with Ed ward Toelle, near the North Haven line, was going by the house of D. c. Dudley on the South Plains, when he heard noise and noticed flash of light in Dudley's hen house. Upon closer inspection youth was discovered in the coop and on the floor was dead hen and on the back of the midnight marauder was a bag. The young thief claimed that he came in the coop to get warm, but the German would not accept the explanation, aud seized the intruder by the coat collar and went to MT. Dudley's house, where he tried to rouse up the occupants but without avail. Nothing daunted Yarnish started with his prisoner for the center to deliver him over to the officers of the law. About half way into town the prisoner made a frantic effort to escape, but his German captor held fast to the coat collar. An other attempt was made and the youth suc- ceeded in escaping by leaving one half of his coat and his hat in the hands of his temporary custodian. The description given by the German of his captive tallies well with the makeup of ono of the youths that has figured in the borough court with in few months.
