Hereafter whenever chicken
cackies some of the BIderback family
will take to their heels. Chicken steal
ing to pay grocery bills resulted in the
downfall Of the family and a ma ority
of the flock received severe sentences
in RGiee Seu1t this m95n a for the
rest Of Sarah Bilderback, the mother,
Frank and Charles, her. two sons, and
Emma Bilderback, her daughter-in-law,
by Frank Dordan, owner Of the chick
ems, who lives at Portland avenue and
Twenty-seventh street. f.
In their attempts to shield each 9th
or, the members Of the family gave
such conflicting testimony, that Judge
Smith had to warn them Of the penalty
for perjury. Before this all but the
mother said they knew the chickens
were in the house, but didn It know how
they got there. -
The mother, however, told the
straight story. She said the family
had been hard pressed financially and
that the boys had talked the matter
over with her and had decided to rail
the chickenhouse. Daniel Bilderback
the father, was at home, but on hearing
of this arrangement, left and obtained
work on the railroad near Red Wing
| Several trips were made to the chicken
ranch and the birds were dressed b5
Frank, the younger son, who also aideG
in selling the fowls to meat dealers.
Judge Smith found the four guilty
and imposed straight sentence of nine
ty days on Charles Bilderback. Emma
his wife, was given sixty days or $50
and the mother ten days or $40, and ;
suspension Of sentence. Frank, VIII,
made a clean breast Of the affair, afte
sentence had been passed on the others
was given thirty days in the work

would be released if his father woul,

RISKED HIS LIFE TO >.
SAVE ONE OF A CATS

BY performing dangerous acrobatic
feat yesterday, j. M: Adams, Of the
Humane society, saved one Of the nine
lives Of cat yesterday.
Someone had thrown the animal over
the Tenth avenue bridge, evidently in
tending that it should drown in the
river but the charmed life for which
felines are famous prevented h success
Of the diabolical plan.
r In some unaccountable manner the
cat caught onto the trestle work Of the
bridge and with tenacity it chung there
for two or three days. Many. persons
had heard its plaintive meowinngs but
had passed on by the other side. A
Samaritan, however, interested himself
in the animal s plight yesterday and
notified the Humane society.
Mr.. Adams crept along the trestlt
at the dizzy height above the water
and rescued the animal. 1t was lear
and so weak it could scarcely. stand
while it's throat was so hoarse it coule
not meow. It was taken to the so
ciety's home.

KIICHLI USES
PROFIT FOR BOND
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRE-.
SENT HIM WITH $4,000.
He Secured the Old G.. N. Right of
Way for $4,000 and Has Sold It to
the Street Railway Company for
20,000-County Board Seemed Easy.

After checkered career, which at
times bordered closely on the scandal
GUS, the old Great Northern right of
way to Lake Minnetonka is now safely
in the hands Of the Street Railway COM
pany and that part west of Hopkins will
be utilized as the route Of the new
electric line to the lake. Incidentally
the county commissioners appear to
have let $4,000 slip thru their fingers.
Minnesota Power & Trolley company
has the $4,000. Tomorrow Mr.. Kiich-
Ii 8 company, the. Minnesota Power &
Trolley company, will formally accept
the ordinance offered by the city coun-
Gil and will file it's guaranty bond Of
$25, 1000. The company proposes to
bring electric energy to Minneapolis
from Elk River, where power has been
| secured.
After holding the right Of way, which
was purchased for $4,000, for little
sold it to the Street Railway company
for $4,000. The transaction came to
light yesterday afternoon in the meet
ing of the county commissioners, when
General Manager w. j. Held Of the
Street Railway company asked that GER
tain changes be made in the regular
county road, and offered a part of the
right Of way to make the change pos
sible.
The strip of land known as the
Great Northern right of way appeared
in the county records July 8, 1901, when
it was purchased from the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba railway for
4 $1,000. 1t extends from Hopkins to
Excelsior and, altho not direct, is suit
able for a suburban electric line. 1t
runs thru a well-settled farming coun:
try, where the line will derive good
business.
On Dec. 21, 1903, it was sold to the
Minnesota Power & Trolley company
on the condition that an electric line
should be completed and in operation
before July l, 1905. At the time of the
sale there was some opposition, the
claim being made that the strip was
worth as much as $4,000, and that the
sell so important piece of public prop
, erty without giving public notice.
At the time the Phelps Kenaston line
to Excelsior was talked Of Mr.. Kiichl
came forward and offered the right OF
way to that company for $35, 900. Soor
after the Phelps-Kenaston plan was
abandoned, the sale was made to thu
street railway company.
There are two interesting features il
connection with the sale Of the right o.
way to Mr.. Kiichi by the county com
business interests, hearing Of the plan t,
= sell to Kiichli, approached street rail
way official and endeavored to interes
him in the route Oh the ground that h
would soon need it for his line to LAX
g Minnetonka. He is said to have re
piled that he had no interest in the mat
- ter, and that if Mr.. Kiichi could &c
