August 23rd. He retired early and at p
m. heard hens making an cutlery. He took
his gun and went out expecting to find Il
skunk, but when he looked into the hen
house he saw three men. The one nearest
the door promptly passed d feed trough
with fearful muZZle velocity at Mr.. Glenn
ent's head. AS he did not need the trough
just then he side-stepped and avoided it.
They then began to throw stones from the
earth floor. Mr.. c. threatened them with
the gun and they told him if he did not get
away and let them go they would kill him
and his family and burn the buildings The
place is rather isolated and he thought best
to let them go as they said they would go
away and not return. They got into their
ed. In about two hours Mr. Clement heard
a team and soon saw it was the poultry
dealers. They drove past the house and
two of them got out and went into the hen
house. Mr.. {. got the shotgun, took careful
aim at the man in the wagon and fired. The
scamp jumped, one of the men i'll the hen
house came out of the door and got into the
wagon, and they drove off. The other one
leaped through window, taking the sash
with him, although, DIS Mark Twain would
say, he probably had no particular use for
it, and after yainly crying to his companions
to wait for him took to the tall timber. MI
Clement thought the man he fired at leaned
heavily on his pal as they drove off. In the
morning, Mr. c. and +. b. Bean took the
trail, which was easily followed, as the
horse was apparently OF gUou weight ana
wore barred shoes forward with very long
side calks, and followed it through South
Freedom to Hutchins' Corner, thence to
Moody's Corner in Albion, some nine mics,
where they found il continued on the Au-
guSta road. Then they came home. Every
one has cleaned his gun ana lald the
shells handy for the next pr"WlerS....M Mi.
