Chickens Never Roost Too High.

That was the song Of Willie Reed
and Charles Brown alias Boston Chap
pell, who have finally gotten them
selves in the strong clutches of the law.
For the past several months heavy
raids have been made on the henneries
of farmers IN Prince Edward and the
chicken market of FarmvilIe well sup
piled with that most desirable barn
yard fowl. Reed and Brown were ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Orange and
given a preliminary hearing before a
justice. They both confessed and were
sent on to the grand jury.
1t was alleged, and the prisoners
made no denial, that during the recent
past the two negroes had entered hen
houses and stolen from 200 to 300
chickens.
