We had q few fine showers lately

We have reported bear stories fish
ing and hunting stories, but SO far, no
comical chicken story. We are re-
quested to report that a certain farmer
and q tirst.class musician who's given
name is Frank, and who lives about
five miles southwest of Plerz, IN the
town of Agram, had somthlng very
funny and surprising happen to him
last Sunday. He hitched his single
trOtter and came to Pierz to attend
the practise Of the Pierz band. But
imagine his surprise when driving
into his brother Engelbert's yard in
Plerz, he heard a. sound similar to
the cackllng of a hen IN the back end
of his buggy. An investigation showed
that a hen was there and had made
the whole trip of five miles or more,
with Frank; and layed an egg. The
hen has a pedigree that reaches back
a few centuries, and the bad man,
Andrew, who drives beer team,
swipped the egg. He wanted to get
better and higher grade of chickens.
We saw Frank before he drove home.
He told us to inspect the rear end of
his buggy, which we did The hen
quickly crawled under the buggy seat
and no egg was to be seen. There was
sufficient proof, however, that a hen
had been confined there for several
hours
