IN SCRAMBLE FOR CHICKENS
Crate of Poultry Knocked Of Wagon
in Chicago Loop and Many Get
Unexpected Chicken Dinner.

Chicago.-A big crowd stood and
gaped at the spectacle of dozens Of
chickens flying about through the air
Of Fifth avenue and West Madison
streets the other day. Some members
of the crowd did more than look and
the result will be seen in some uneX-
pected chicken dinners in Chicago to-
night.
The driver of a truck belonging to
an express and teaming company
upon which was stacked a pile OF
crates containing chickens, attempted
to pass under the elevated railroad
structure, but the crates were piled
too high and the top row was swept
into the street In the fall they were
shattered and soon the air was full OF
flying chickens.
In a moment the busy crossing was
blocked with teams and street cars
were stalled, while hundreds Of pedes-
TRANS gathered, some of whom
promptly joined the driver OF the
truck in scrambling for the chickens.
The driver made many dives for the
squawking hens, which were dashing
madly about the street or making
short, desperate flights from one side
to the other. He got some OF them,
but he didn't get them ALL One we'll
dressed man came on the scene just
in time to receive a fat fowl in his
arms. He grabbed the prize and fed
without even pausing to see where
the chicken came from. Several 9th
ers captured stray chickens and dis
appeared with them.

CLERK CAUSES NEW ELECTION
MorristoWn IN. j. Must Vote Again
on Commission Form of Rule
Owing to Error.

Morristown, n after winning a
hard fought battle by bare eleven
votes for the commission form of gov
eminent the advocates of that plan
have discovered that their victory was
hollow. The county clerk used the
wrong number in referring on the Of
fetal ballot to the law authorizing a
commission government and thus
made the election illegal, it is de-
clared.
County officials would be inclined
to proceed as if the amendment had
been adopted by the referendum ex-
cept for the fact that such procedure
might make future bond issues ques-
tionable and thus injure the county's
credit.

MAN UNCOVERs GLACIAL ICE
Oregoniar, Digging Grave, Strikes
Large Body Several Feet
Below Gravel Bed.

klamath Falls, Ore.-While William
McCully was digging gravel in Bull
lard's Canyon recently he was sur
prised to encounter a body of glacial
ice several feet below the surface Of
the gravel bed He took some of the
cakes into Merrill, where it was de-
clared to be ice of good enough quail
ity, save for the presence of small
stones and pebbles. Thirteen years
ago what is supposed to be the same
body of ice was uncovered, but it be-
came covered, and not until this re-
cent discovery was it supposed to be
still in existence.
