Mount Vista, 18th District.-The general
topic in this vicinity is chicken thieves" and
the first question asked each morning by our
residents is, "Were your chickens taken last
night?" dozen or more families have suf-
fered from the visits of these thieves. and thay
do not always confine themselves to stealing
chickens, but take corn and other feed, har-
ness. small TOOLS etc. Mr.. Clayton Wisnom
has been robbed at least four times, the thieves
coming back for the last chickens he had. al
though they have been considerate enough moi
to take any of his guineas and turkeys. Those
living along the Hartford turnpike, between
Fork and the 9-Mile House, seem to be the
ones they prefer to ravage. No one is suspec
ted and who the guilty persons are remains
mystery.
