Chicken thieves are said to be
abroad in the Illinois valley. A we'll

observing his poultry morning by
morning, noted a steady decrease in
the flock. They were disappearing
rapidly and in a few nights some two
dozen were missing. Considerably
vexed at such VIII holesale depreciation,
ho decided on strenuous measures,
loaded up his shotgun with o good
heavy charge and kept midnight
vigil over the slumbering fowls. In
the dark hours of the night, q dis
turbance was heard at the chicken
house and the watcher ran In that
direction. The thieves took the
alarm and fed. A rail fence inter-
vened between them and safety and
as the man mounted the fence. his
form was silhouetted against the sky
line and the man with the gun
opened fire. Immediately afterward,
he caught sight Of another man be-

sanguinary traces Of the conflict could
be found. but since the occurrence
