L. T. Paisley had one dozen chickens
killed in his hen house. j. @. Mitch

consulting with each other, ayr eed to
get out a seach warrant for the thief.
They tracked the thief to his hiding
place and found him to be a mink, as
there are no coons in our town. MI.
Mink had hidden in the dam of the
creamery pond. After digging out
eleven grown chickens they found the
mink and dogs and mink fought it out.
They succeeded in killing it. The mink

this will stop the cry of missing
chickens in this community.
