Poultry.

To be delegated by the bunch" to
secure the chickens for roast, to
carry out their part of the agreement
and then to discover that they have
been deserted with twenty-six nice
plump chickens on their hands was
the experience of Willis Millisor and
William Free, two young men of the
city. The boys were up against a
proposition and finally determined to
turn over the poultry to Mr.. Cleav-
venger, the poultry dealer.
Sunday morning, Charles Simpson,
who resides five miles south of the
city on what is known as the Cromer
farm, appeared at police headquart-
ers and secured a search warrant
for the Millisor premises on John
street. The search was made, but
no trace of the missing chickens was
discovered. Mr.. Simpson stated that
/ on Saturday afternoon, while he was
in the city, twenty-siX of his nice fat
hens had disappeared. A further in
vestigatlon was made and II was
soon discovered that the chickens
were in the coops of Mr.. Cleaveng-
er, he having purchases them from
Mr.. Cleavenger stated that he had
given check for $10.75 in payment
for the chickens, hut the check had
not been cashed.
Chief of Police Klinefelter rounded
up the boys and Mr.. Simpson agreed
to settle with them for the return
of the chickens and the payment of
a sum of money. The boys confess
ed to the Chief that they had taken
the chickens and disposed of them
to Mr.. Cleavenger, but stated that
they had been delegated the job of
securing the chickens for roast
which was to be enjoyed by quite
bunch of the boys. When they re-
turned to the city with the poultry
they were unable to find the bunch"
and were compelled to do something
with the chickens. One of the boys
stated that he knew better than to
cash the check, for then they would
have him dead to rights.
Mr.. Simpson this morning recover
ed his chickens from the Cleaven-
ger pens and hauled them back to
the farm, for the further enjoyment
of rural life. The boys stated their
Willingness to settle the matter and
