Clayton, the Is months old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Klein who live
on the E. E. Fields farm in Little
Rock township ten miles southeast OF
Adrian, died Sunday from accidental
poisoning. The child, while playing
about the house last Friday, got hold
of a bottle of butter coloring and
drank a portion of the contents.

Sisters, on whom devolved the duty
of training the youngsters.
Some yellow livered cuss invaded
the Wagner premises one night last
week and stole some two hundred
chickens which Joe had purchased a
few days previous for packing pur-
poses. There is evidently an or
anized gang engaged in this work
and the frequent thefts show that
chicken owners are justified in taking
summary measures for stopping it.
