SOME SHORT NEWS
NOTES FROM ATHENA

Spokane, wash. G. Cotton Of
Okanogan, Wash. north Of Spokane,
who started the poultry business on
a small scale about two years ago with
nine hens, has ccomplished some in
teresting statistics. The hens be-
gan laying in December and he has
kept a close record Of the eggs OBJ
tained from February 1, 1910, until
November /, 1910, as follows: Febru-
AIRY, I07; March, 1876; April, 203; May,
166; June, ia; July, 1876; August,
161; September, 146; October, 10S.
This is an average Of about 1872 eggs
per hen a year. Another record which
promises TO be as remarkable as that
of the hens. is for pullets. Eight pull
lets that were hatched April II, 1910,
began laying August Is. and during
that month laid 20 eggs. In Septem-
ber they laid 1876 eggs and in october
ITS eggs.

Considering the difficulties of the

IN POLICE
COURT

w. f. AenchbaCher appeared in po-
lice court this morning under charge
Of having broken into a freight car
for the purpose of stealing ride
The complaining witness was A. Log
sen, Union Pacific watchman.
Aenchbacher is but % years of age
and has been working on the South
ern Pacific railroad as a brakeman
Last Friday night he missed the train
on which he was TO go to Evanston
and decided that he would catch the
next train for that city. To DO this
he climbed TO the top of a refrigerat-
on car and raised the lid TO hide in
the ice compartment which was
empty. He was seen by the watch
man, who nabbed him just as he was
disappearing from view.
On the stand the watchman swore
that the young man had broken the
seal in order that he might gain en-
trance 10 the Ice compartment. The
brakeman, in denial OF this part OF the
ofiensc, stated on the stand that Log
sen hHl picked up the seal on the
railroad track and that there was no
seal on the top door which he opened.
Judge J. ID. Murphy did not de
eide on the disposition OF Achcn-
bacher, but 1t is not likely that the
young man Will be imprisoned, for his
act, as the story which he told prac-
tically yindicates him OF any mten-
tional crime.
