Officer Tobin made clear capture Sat
urday morning. John Finney, colored, q
resident Of Shawtown was captured at Q
O'Clock as he was about making near cut
to his home. He had with him one OF
those mysterious..two bushel bags which
some colored folks are went to have whsn
| they visit hen roOsts outside Of their own
Yards. The bag contained four live and one
dead chicken. The officer brought the man
and chickens to the jail where the chickens
are awaiting to be identified. When Fin
ney was arrested he stated that he had
purchased the chickens from his grand
mother but tho women has not been arrest
ed and 1t IL thought that she Ia some re-
la,ion to Topsy and has vanished from the
bushes
For some time past Finney has been SELL
ing chickens at 25 to 40 cents each when
the chickens in the wholesale markets
commanded twice tho price asked by tho
vender Tho police have been keeping an
eye on him but were unable to catch him
until on this trip.
tits thought that the chickens came
from somo Of the farm houses near Farm
hurst or else Hare's Corner.
