Big Fat North Missouri Hen Had
Diamond Worth $3.50 and

Gold.
PROFITS IN POULTRY
Great Rush to Buy Chickens After the
News Spread of the Treas
ure Chest Inside the
Hen.

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-MrS. q. j. Bar
ton, of 3s63A Shenandoah avenue,
says she will never scold her butcher
again for sending her undressed chick
ems, provided he sends her only poul-
try from north Missouri.
She reached this conclusion after
finding several pieces of gold and a
diamond, worth $3.50. in the craw of
a chicken from north Missouri, sold
to her through the A. F. Klute & Sons
market at Shenandoah and Vandeven-
ter avenues.
Mrs. Barton says Klute agreed to
send the chicken dressed, but she
isn't worrying about that part of it
now.
Mrs. Barton went to the store last
Saturday and asked to see some chick
ems. Klute showed her collection of
Missouri's finest.
What is this one WORTH asked
Mrs. Barton. indicating fowl that
looked more promising than the rest.
twenty-five cents pound" replied
The grocer.
That's entirely too much for little
collection of bones and feathers like
that Mrs. Barton responded. "Is
this a millinery store or meat mar
ket?"
Take that chicken, Mrs. Marion, .
| the grocer replied You never will
regret It. assure you it is worth far
more than we ask for it"
The bargain was closed and Mrs
Barton, after ordering that the fowl
be killed and dressed, departed.
When the chicken arrived few
hours later and Mrs. Barton found
that it was undressed, her anger
arose and she declared she never
would buy chickens from that market
again.
She rolled up her sleeves and began
tho task OF cleaning the chicken. Just
as she was about to throw the con
tents of the craw into the waste, she
noticed gleam of light, and carefully
examining the sand, shot, pebbles aDd
other debris which chicken uses as
his digestive apparatus, she discov
cred a brilliant white diamond and the
pieces of gold.
! Mrs. Barton took the diamond to 9

the neighborhood. A mild panic, like
that attending the discovery of new

beseiged with customers, all begging
4 for chickens. People who had beer
living on bacon and beans for years
borrowed money and began to buy
chickens by the coop. No other dia
mond was found, however, and it i.

was a feathered footpad who helt

KILLED SIX FINE Deer
IN THREE DAYS HUNT.
PARTY OF FIVE HUNTERS RE-
TURN WITH SIX DEER, HAVING
SECURED EVERY ONE THEY

SAW.
Probably the most successful deer
hunting party on record in this Sec
ton is that which returned from Bull
Island Friday morning, bringing with
them six deer.
ne party was composed of Fred
Stones, R. L. Pappy and T. D. Mel
ton, of this city, and Mr.. MeltOn's
rother-in-law, L. K Hatfield, and
friend, H. Lobdell, of Miami, who are
visiting with Mr.. and Mrs. Melton
on Baker street.
They left this city early Monday
morning by wagon carrying with them
necessary camp equipment and four
good hounds, two Of them belonging
to Mr.. Melton and two to Mr.. Pappy,
When hunting they formed two parties
each having two Of the dogs.
Three Of the party, Messrs, Mel
ton, Pappy and Hatfield, are veteran
hunters and have shot many deer,
but Fred Stones had only one to his
credit. previously, and H. Lobden
had the glory OF bagging fine
buck as the beginning Of his hunting
career.
All the deer shot were in excellent
condition and the fine doe that fell
to Mr.. Stones was started up by him
when the dogs were not at hand
and was shot among the saw grass
nearly shoulder high.
4 Une time all fo' = dogs we're run
ring different deer, and 1t another
the hounds of five different hunting
parties were in full cry within a
small radius, making a perfect bed
lam of noise
The only thing occurring TO mar the
| trip was the loss Of one Of Mr.. Pap
py's dogs, which was left somewhere
in the woods. II is hoped the hound
will join one Of the numerous hunt
ing parties in that vicinity and some
time in the future be returned to the
owner.
Bull Island is a knoll of ground sur
rounded by marsh land and lying
about thirty miles south and west OF
