at the door. and if he came across the
parties with the chickens, to arrest
them. On Cameron Street. near the To-

the persons with her chickens The wo-
man came across a negro man and wo-
man with chickens tied up in bags in
a wagon. She asked the man about the
chickens, but without giving her an an
swer he ran. Turning to the woman IN
the wagon Mrs. Downey demanded her
chickens. The negress denied that the
chickens were Mrs. Downey's, but asked
her to wait while she went TO a neigh
boring house to sell some berries. AS
she did not return, Mrs. Downey picked
up two bags OF chickens out of the
negro woman's wagon. and took them
with her to the station house She is
herself unable 70 identify the chickens.

certed action upon the election by the

CINE companies. They also insist that

ting out fires they at least ought 10
