CHICKEN Thief
PAINFULLY INJURED,
Snot by Farmer Near Cecilton While
in the Act of Carrying Off Several Of
His Chickens.


Another evidence that "if you play with
the buzz saw you will get cut" likewise sic
one continues to steal chickens he will get
caught, Is the experience Of Marshall
FRANCIS, colored, OF the First district, who Ia
speeding some time behind the bars at tbs
Elkton Jail, also suffering from gun shot
wounds. For some months past the farmers
OF the First district have been greatly nm
noye by chicken thieves and many of them
nave been trying to catch the intruders.
Henry Boulden, farmer residing near Cecil
ton, was successful about last SUNDAY
morning. He heard n noise In his hen-roost
and got his doubled barrelled shot gun and
hastily started in the direction of his han
house When he was within n short dis
'ance Oh II ne saw negro coming out, and,
Without waiting, he fired, part Of the load

started to run. The farmer called to the
heelng man to stop, to which he paid no
attention, whereupon Farmer Boulden fired
the second time. The load struck tbs aee-
ing man In the back and legs and he fell to
the ground. The negro proved to be Mar
snail Francis, formerly of Elkton, who had
previously worked for Mr. Boulden. Francis

Remains of Joseph Seitz, the Port De-
posit Shoemaker, Found Floating In
SuSquehanna River.

The mystery surrounding the sudden dis
appearance OF Joseph Seitz, shoemaker of
Port Deposit from his boarding house in
that town on Wednesday. March &c. was
solved yesterday morning when the body OF
the unfortunate man was found floating In
the Susqnehanna river, near Frenchtown.
Seitz was last seen alive walking toward
the river. The supposition Is that he COM
mitted suicide. as he had made several
threats to take his life. The river was drag
ged for several days and search was made In
the town and vicinity, but the only clue was
his hat, which was found along one of the
wharves. Dynamite was used In hopes Of
bringing the body to the surface OF the
water. but was unfuccessiul.
