WHO STOLE THE GOOSE?
EAST NE WARK MAN ASKS

Kenhedy's goose is not an ordinary
goose by any means. It knew enough
to wander W from the home of Its
owner when the latter failed TO feed
1t. A friend fattened the fowl and
then Kennedy took 1t back home and
quietly told some of his friends that
he intended to fete them. Visions Of
a good time were suddenly dispelled
when some mean person stole the bird.
A secret search Is being conducted,
and Kennedy, who lives at 1854 Grant
avenue. has hopes of getting at least
a leg of the fowl. Kennedy won the
goose at a rattle New Years eve. Sew
eral attempts we're made since that
time to steal the bird, but Kennedy
always managed to have the goose
