MAY GET CLEMENCY

Dominic Sullivan pleaded guilty in the
district court this morning 10 stealing two
hens valued at 81 from William Fisher,

we're one. and II did not appear that the
man took the hens with the intent to steal
them.
The man, with another, was drunk last
night and evidently went onto Fisher S

yard. They were chased from the prem
ises and when Sullivan was arrested later
the hen stealing charge was booked
