Upon going to the well for water this
morning, Mr.. Seymour found a powder,

well. His suspicious We're aroused and
It was decided not to drink any of the
water. Later, several chickens which
had been at large in the yard near the
well were found to be poisoned, and
many OF them died. Mrs. Seymour al
leges that the poison was thrown into
the we'll for revenge. The authorities.
however say they have no evidence to
warrant an arrest.
Mrs. Seymour is the owner of the hen
which laid the egg bearing the letters

on the window every morning, both Of
which were given some publicity some
