he has good reason to be. Aside from
his regular task he has been deyoting
much time and pains t. the care Of pen
or two Of as fine lot OF chickens as were
ever fed in these parts. Among them
we're the proud Houdans and the coura-
geous Indian games. On Friday night a
party OF hobos entered his pens and stole
thcreirom twenty o. his finest fowl.

the scoundrels who perpetrated the vii.
lainy. In the vicinity OF the hatcher
bridge he found them, three in number.
Seventeen Of the chickens lay in the camp
with their heads off and three we're on the
fire in the stewpot. Officer Liggett tire
his gun on two Of the rouges and secured
them. The third one escaped, but he
left his coat and vest and the camping
outfit. The two prisoners were brought
to town, examined on the charge oil grand
larceny and bound over for trial at the

Ed Whitby apd Harry Haste, who
went to Zillsh by private conveyance on
Saturday, had rather an unpleasant ex-

their scalps. When on their return they
stopped near the bridge this side OF Iillah,
Whitby taking gun and pursuing a
flock Of ducks up the stream. When he
returned short time thereafter he found
about dozen drunken Indians dancing
wildly about the vehicle and fighting saw
agely among themselves. One sober In
dian approached Whitby and Haste and
told them that they'd better get away,
for the Indians were drunk and wanted to
fight anybody that came along. The
young men thanked the good red man
and escaped without further parley.

Editor Parker, OF the Orting Oracle, is
troubled with fless, concerning the pestif-
erous depredations Of which be complains
bitterly. An editor who is too busy now
adays to protect himself from the innocent
