about 1890 and hearing chickens
eackling in the other end Of the build
ing, went to investigate, with the re-
suit that the temptation proved too
great, and he simply could not resist
the desire for good fry. Later he
testified that this was his second visit
Ito Mr.. Lesher's hen coop, and that on
the evening Of September 23d he went
there in company with Herman Minter
and on this visit he stole three chick
ems and Minter two, but two OF these
chickens made their escape from the
thieves. He stated that the chickens
were taken to the P. T. McCarty home,
where they were dressed and fried
and served for breakfast Sunday morn
ing, September Gath. Mr.. Minter de-
nies having anything to do with the
matter and does not admit that he
ever visited the Lesher henhouse with
Wendt.
Both men were bound over to the
grand jury, and being unable to furnish
the $1,000 bond required, are now
awaiting the action of that body in
the Crawford county Jail. We under
stand that Ralph Jackson figures to
some extent in these affairs, and that
there is a warrant out for his arrest,
but as yet the police authorities have
been unable to locate him and it is
thought by some that he has left for
parts unknown.

Temperance legislation was the fea-

ton submitting the prohibition
amendment to 4 vote of the people by
vote Of "a to Z, while the house
adopted the stringent Meredith coun-
ty united local option bill by a vote
of 80 to 10. 1t was expected that the
prohibition amendment would not
nave more than the necessary twenty
votes. and the opposition freely pre-
dicted that theA.measure would be de-
feated. Ten Republicans and thirteen
democrats voted to submit the amend
ment.
When the resolution came up the
senate hall and galleries were crowd
ed. Temperance workers were pin
ming white ribbons on members and
spectators, while white roses had
been placed on the members desks.
Only one speech was made, Senator
johnson explaining why he opposed
the measure two years ago and why
he favored 1t now.
