A resident of the Fifth ward, upon
counting his chickens one morning not
long ago found that six of them had
disappeared during the night Human
tracks in the snow near the coop gave
clue as to how the birds had got out of
their enclosure. Though he had pretty
good suspicion as to who carried them
off he said nothing He, two days later,
determined to have a search warrant
served. but upon going to the coop
found five of the chickens huddled near
the door, waiting to get in. He followed
their tracks back to where they came
from and proved to himself that his
suspicious were correct. They had
been stolen by neighbor and in some
way got out of his barn and came home.
The owner has at various times missed
chickens and other things about his
house and last summer his cellar was
entered one night and a quantity of
preserves stolen He has purchased a
shot gun and if he carried out his threats
the.guilty party, after his next raid, may
need the services of a surgeon.
