Judge Puts Mooted
Case Up to Chickens
Question of Which Roost the Fowls
Select Determines Guilt
of Litigant.

BELLINGHAM WASH, Oct. IL
Do chickens go home TO roost?
This question was solved by JUS
tice of the Peace Shoemaker at Lyn-
den in settling a case in his court
where Jefferson Hoover alleged his
neighbor, ]. d. Crane, had purloined
a brace or so of his finest hens.
Hoover put the proposition to tho
court that the hens should be turned
loose and that where they sought a
roosting place that should be their
rfshtfuI home. Accordingly the court
and the two litigants went TO a near
nv field, the hens were released near
the roosting time, and. sure enough,
as fast as they could wabble, the hens
sought a hole in the Hoover barn =
ward fence, where they had been wont
to go and come, and in few seconds
were perched high among the limbs
of the Hoover trees.
Crane, in the face of the conclusive
evidence, changed his plea, and was
fined SIS by the justice.
