by the management and judges this
this year it is very dubtful if Kings
bury will again exhibit until tie
management is changed for the better.

Chicken stealing seems to be a
regular industry in some localities.
The last raid we heard of was in
Mathews township, which occurred
the night before the last poultry car
visited De Smet. The Gay Bairows
farm los. one hundred chickens, the
p. M. Callahan farm about the same
number, and the theft paid a visit to
the Thos Callahan place, but was
prevented from getting the chickens
by the alarm given by the dog. Tom
got up and loaded his shotgun aud
went out after the thief. He caught
sight OF the thief before he left the
house, but failed to get his eye on
him after getting outside. While
Tom went one way the theft went
another and made bis escape. Mrs.
Callahan saw the thief after Mr.. G..
got out in the yard, but Tom had
gone too far to hear her. But an
effort to catch the theft saved their
poultry, anyhow. 1t would have been
a glorious thing if Tom had filled
the thief full of shot.
