visit was on Sunday night, f. @,
Hurd. who conducts a meat market or
Academy street, was the loser. Last
Friday night they raided the same
roost and made off with a. large num-
ber of chickens. On Sunday night the
sneak thieves secured thirty-three
chickens and six turkeys. The loss to
Mr.. Hurd will be about $50 for the two
visits. For the past two years thieves
have depleted chicken coops and in all
that time not a person has been cap
tured. Manv of the coops raded were
wired and burglar alarm attached, so
as to ring a bell in the owners home.
Others have had guns set to shoot the
thieves as they opened a door, and in
one case a stick of dynamite with cap
was fixed so that it would explode when
the door of the coop was opened. But
in every case the alarms failed to work
The thieves stole the set guns along
with the chickens. The thieves have
been shot at several times. but they
are still rampant and their obnoxious
! visits are regular each week.
