GOT CAUGHT IN 4 TRAP

For some time the residents of the
county have been bothered with chick
en- thieves. Mr.. L. T.. Portlock has
been q victim on several occasions, so
he concluded to set q tray for the
thief or thieves. lie dug a deep hole
around his chicken house and covered
1T over with small poles and then COW
cred them with brush. He placed n
plank across the center for the thief
TO walk on. The plank was thin. and
as soon as n man put his weight on
it he would fall through In this deep
hole. Brown. who resides back OF
South Portsmouth. had been in that
neighborhood. according to his own
confession. and had made successful
raids on chicken houses. So he con-
cluded that he would visit Mr. Port
lock. and started across the river On
arriving at the house he started ut
once for the hen house. When he reach
cd there he saw the plank and thought
that the owners had put the brush
there to brighten. so he started to cross
the plank for the house. AS he did so
hc fell some distance down In the hole.
He was unable to get ont on account
OF the poles across the pit. He re-
maincd there until some one from Mr..
Portlock's residence came out and
found him. An officer was sent for.
and by means OF rope succeeded in
"ct;inr Brown out the hole. He was
brought to the county Jail, where he
will remain until he has n hearing
Brown is an old offender, having been
arrested several times for hog stealing
He will he apt to spend little long
Ell on this trip than usual.
