Between twelve and one o'clock " ed
nesday morning, A. T.. Glidden's family
was awakened by disturbance among
the chickens. Mr. Glidden went to the
window and heard "a wagon driving
east, rapidly, with chickens squalling
along with it. He thought at first it was
some one going to Kalamazoo for the
early morning market, but finally de-
cided to investigate. He found his hen
house in commotion, goodly number
missing, tracks leading thence to the
road, and the dust tramped where the
wagon had stood to be filled. He took
lantern and followed the tracks for a
mile and half, then got Frank Taylor,
j. G.. Gould and w T.. White, members
of the Antwerp Mutual Protection asso.
citation They hitched up two single
rigs and started in pursuit. Consider
able time was lost in examining tracks
and going back to the starting point to
be assured that the suspicious wagon
and horse tracks were the right ones to
follow. The tracks turned south at the
Bangs school house. Wally White, on
looking his fowls over, found lot of
them gone, too. At ID. Lytle's, "A mile
south, a lighted lantern stood in his
barn door, but no one was at home.
They had raided his roosts and he,
hearing them drive away, had followed
on to the next neighbor's and caught
them in the hen house. A fight ensued,
during which Lytle got bad blow on
the head from one of the robbers and
faced revolver in the hands of the
other, and had to yield the ground. He
awakened the proprietor, Lew Wheeler,
and his son, and they gave chase on
foot. At Harwick's corners the wagon
turned toward Paw Paw, with two sets
of pursuers on track. On reaching the
Geo. Labadie place, the Glidden party
saw light ahead and heard the squall-
ing of hens. They drove down the hill
and came upon party of men, some of
whom were catching chickens and 9TH
ers holding them, the coops being over
turned by the side of the road. Think
ing these TO be the men they we're pur-
suing, they promptly arrested them,
and it took some little time in the dark
